Printing

The best place to shop for business cards, flyers, letterheads, envelopes and brochures is online!

If you're a small business owner you'll understand the importance of price, especially when it comes to printing. Unfortunately, unless you're a large corporation or unless you can bulk order your next set of business cards or flyers etc you may find it difficult getting a good price without compromising on quality.

Fortunately, it's easy enough to find a number of quality discount printing service providers online. While some of these are large companies with several franchisees in each of the capital cities, there are quite a few printing companies who choose not to franchise but to centralise their operations in one premises and who focus on high-volume, high-quality print operations.

The main thing to remember is to continually seek a better price. Be smart. When you hire a printing company, make sure you keep any of the graphics or artwork over which you retain proprietary rights. That way, switching to a new crowd when the time comes will be a lot simpler. Another good tip is to go local, especially for complex jobs requiring multiple revisions. Sometimes good old-fashioned customer service is what's needed, so you don't want to have to travel too far to meet with your account manager to discuss your printing needs. Finally, if you're going to get business cards done up, why not get letterheads and envelopes done too? Try to think about what you'll need in 6 to 9 months time. And if you're getting flyers or fridge magnets done up, talk to your printer about distribution channels; some large printing companies also provide letterbox distribution services, or can at least recommend another crowd who can help.
