Print Management vs Print Companies
While it’s often the case in business that you want to cut out the middle man where you can, it just isn’t the case when you have a lot of expensive machinery that needs to be running constantly!
A print management firm will work out deals with a range of suppliers work inside profit margins on individual sales in return for a guaranteed stream of income. Rather than having to spend on expanding their sales teams, commercial printers make the calculation that it’s more cost effective to sell their products for less in exchange for the sheer volume of business that a print management firm will generate for them
When a client approaches us with a a quote request we analyse the item & contact the best fit suppliers which suit the job. Any one supplier we contact will know that we’ve put the exact same request to a number of their competitors, but they won’t have any idea who, or how much they’re going to quote. In order to guarantee their income stream, therefore, it’s in their interest to offer the best price they possibly can.
The majority of printers know that print management businesses will keep their presses in operation even if they don’t have time to seek the business themselves, clients & customers know that a print management business will take the hassle out of ordering, and that they’ll be able to offer a better price for the same product. Is this sounding ok?
So why does it makes sense to use a print management business?
A print management business makes sure that you’re getting the most out of your resources - they'll ask you questions about what you're printing and why.

Hell... it's convenient
Tap into the expertise of people who handle print for a living & avoid disappointment. We're here to advise, that's 95% of our work day - the 5% is the actual order of print.

As of March 13th 2012 a google search for ‘online printer’ threw up this information:
It might have taken Google less than half a second to find them all, but how long is it going to take for you to find the best printer for you? A print management company like Blue Star Print Solutions has done all the research already – we know who can be relied upon to keep their promises on turnaround and most importantly quality.

Newsletters
"The single most effective tool you can use to build PROPER Relationships with your customers."
Nigel Botterill
If you currently send out email marketing or similar. Is there anything stopping you having a hard copy of what you send and posting that out as well? You could use the e-marketing to supplement the printed edition and provide even more information to your customers! We're making it easier for you to get your hands on some newsletters and are currently working out packages that not only include the content writing, layout/design & print, but the mailing of your newsletters too! That means all you have to do is sit back and carry on with what you're good at - Running Your Business. If you're interested in this opportunity - [3]click here to register your interest. We'll send you over the package details as soon as we've finished them.
Print Freedom
What is Print Freedom I hear you shout! Well, Print Freedom is what everybody has the ability to achieve and can lead to some serious time savings if done correctly.
Think back to the last time you ordered some print - did you spend a while looking around online to find the cheapest site or a site that didn't look too suspect to order your print from? Maybe you have someone you already go to for your print? But think about whether either of these areas are actually saving you money.
There was an instance of someone in a business ordering print, a salesman I seem to remember - he had a quote given to him straight away for the item - but thought "Hang on! I wonder if I can get it cheaper..." 4 hours later - he runs up to his boss and claims "Great News! I've saved £10 on that first quote!".
He couldn't work out why his boss was less than pleased with this!
Print Freedom is within everyones reach. Combining knowledge of the market, industry and products is what will eventually save money on your items. Take us for example - we're not tied to a specific press - which means we can direct your job to the specific press intended for it.
We'd love to hear from you if you have any instances similar to the above and how you overcame it.
