First the bad news!

We know not every organisation we approach wants to employ our services as print managers!

Now the good news!

We give away our trade secrets completely Free of Charge.
So here’s 2 of our top 5 tips on how to get the best-priced print for your organisation.

We know these tips work and if you apply all 5 of our buying tips there is a good chance you can save a whopping 15% of your existing print budget in the next 12 months!!

How do we know? Because our customers tell us!!!

Tip 1

Printing companies spend fortunes on the sales process, employing sales guys who we reckon ‘loaf about’ all day driving around in big old beemers, kipping in lay-bys and taking out prospects on long lunches who are never going to become customers. If you really want to be valued by a printing company, you’ll need to circumnavigate this costly sales channel!
When you make contact with the printing company try not to be put through to the sales team. Try to make contact with the estimating team or the commercial department first and ask to become a house account.

Tip 2

For the best deals look to work with a privately owned printing company. Our best-priced suppliers are invariably privately owned and been in business for years. These guys tend to have acquired all their kit over a long period of time and haven’t gone through a huge investment within a very short space of time. Ideally go for a family run printing company. Look down the contact page on their website…. if you see a few contacts with the same surname you’re probably looking at a family run business!!
