Find Hidden Savings with a Print, Promo & Procurement Audit
Let Client Focused Media dive into your past print invoices to try to uncover hidden savings. We bring experience and versatility to the table for our clients. Many times, as a project evolves through the design process, the choice of materials, structure or graphics change. Often, if working with only one manufacturer, the project can “outgrow” the manufacturer’s expertise or equipment capabilities. With our experience, we can adapt with the evolution of the project. Our long standing relationship with multiple manufacturers gives us the strength and influence to get the job done at the right price and within deadline.
Does your company suffer from any of the following issues?
- Difficulty in reducing print costs?
- Concern at whether you are achieving the most competitive print prices?
- Worry at whether you are using appropriate suppliers?
- Frustration at the resource and time taken to purchase print?
- Disappointment at not reproducing the correct corporate brand?
The Print & Procurement Audit has been designed to provide a swift but thorough overview from a highly experienced print professional on opportunities to make print purchasing at your company more cost-effective, whether this is through changing process, altering specification or reviewing suppliers.
By the end of the process, your company will understand what savings can be achieved through:
- Standardizing product specifications and schedules
- Ensuring that best price is obtained and appropriate suppliers approached for jobs
- Process efficiency and potential headcount reduction in ordering and artwork management
- Implementation of the latest e-sourcing techniques
This process is aimed at all companies that purchase printed collateral. Typical sectors that may benefit from this service will include legal companies, financial services providers, leisure industry chains such as hotels and sports clubs and companies that use direct mail. It will be particularly useful to companies which do not have a centralized print procurement function.
