How a Print Broker Can Save You Money

When would you engage the services of a Print Broker? If you run a small business, I don't need to tell you that every minute you (or your staff) spend buying printing is time you could have spent working on strategy, or customer service, or some other critical business function. You don't have the time to spend with Printing salespeople. You don't have the time to research print production or electronic procurement. That is where a Print Broker can help! It is his job to find the right suppliers to produce your work in the most timely and efficient manner possible; and then supervise those suppliers to make sure your job is delivered as ordered -- all for less than what it would cost you to do it yourself. Imagine that!! Wouldn't it be nice to have one source that offers a wide range of printed products so you could focus on other aspects of your work? The right broker can help by offering many printing services to suit your needs while eliminating the inefficiencies of dealing with multiple vendors. So, how do you select the proper broker? It should be a person that has been around the industry for a long time. Someone who knows the printing and graphics business inside and out and is well connected in all areas of the Graphic Arts. These days it is simply not enough to just know one paticular area of the industry as the line between each area becomes fuzzier with each passing day. Litho, Digital, Screen, Large Format, Inkjet, Fabric, Large Run, Small Run-what's the best way to go? An Experienced Print Broker will: 1) Sit down with the client and properly assess the specs of the project at hand. 2) Determine which process method of production will best fit the customer
