Small or big, all business owners are always looking for effective ways to reduce their operating and marketing costs to increase their profits. Using traditional marketing mediums such as banner printing, brochures, print advertising in magazines and newspapers, are just some of the many channels you may be trying to cut back on.
Here are a few sustainable ways to reduce printing costs on your marketing budget.
Do Not DIY Your Printing
Companies often assume that moving specific services in-house will result in less spending. However, this can have the opposite effect because printing materials, equipment and dedicated personnel all have significant initial costs to get going. Training or hiring employees to print out banners for promotional events can also become more costly than you may expect.
Do Compare Quotations
As one of the leading printing companies in Johannesburg and Durban, at Adway we will always encourage you to compare quotations if you are printing for the first time. Shopping around for the best offer can help keep costs low. But it is important to remember that the cheapest banner printing price can sometimes mean the cheapest work too. Similarly, the higher quotation does not necessarily mean the highest-quality work either.
Do Not Print Unnecessarily
We find that businesses often overestimate their printing needs, purchasing more than they will actually use. Carefully considering how many banners you will need and use practically at your next marketing activation can decrease waste. It ensures that you do not print unnecessary materials and will help you stay on budget.
Do Choose A Go-To Print Company
Switching between print companies every time you need marketing materials is not a sensible business decision. It can lead to brand confusion, communication gaps and extra time and money you have not anticipated. Having a go-to print company will keep your designs cohesive and make sure that all your materials match.
