💼🖨️💰 Ever wondered why some businesses still invest in high-quality printing? Here's a perspective shift for you. Cheap printing doesn't necessarily mean cost-effective. It can inadvertently broadcast a message of 'cheap company'. And when potential clients perceive your business as cheap, they might question the quality of your products or services. No one wants to invest in something that doesn't promise value. Think about it. Your business card, your brochure, your banner. They're not just pieces of paper. They are ambassadors of your brand's reputation. They tell a story about your business, long before you utter a single word. Investing in quality printing is investing in the perception of your brand. It's about aligning the visual communication of your business with the quality you provide. Remember, impressions matter. Especially the first ones. Want to really leave an impression with your print needs? Add some embellishments. Foil, embossing, debossing, laminate, spot gloss treatment, etc. Invest wisely🎯🌟👍

"Who needs business cards anymore? Everything's online!" Ever caught yourself thinking so? 👆🏾 Well, buckle up. I'm about to shatter a common misconception. The truth? The printing industry isn't just surviving—it's thriving! Here's what's really going on: • Print and digital are dancing partners, not rivals. • Tangible items create lasting impressions in a sea of pixels. • Businesses are rediscovering the power of the personal touch. 🔍 What most people get wrong: They assume the rise of digital means the fall of print. But that's like saying TV killed radio. Spoiler alert: it didn't. Printed materials hold a unique, tactile value. They make a lasting impression, and people love tangible connections. Remember that notebook you scribbled ideas in? That business card that sparked a great conversation? They're not relics. They're tools—powerful ones. In a world of endless scrolling, something you can hold makes an impact. So, next time someone tells you print is obsolete, smile and hand them your beautifully designed business card. Sometimes, the old ways are the new EDGE. ------------ Ready to blend the best of both worlds? Send a DM, let's talk about how you can use print to amplify your digital presence. ------------ Follow me, Hope Aghahowa for more.

Small businesses spend around 3% of their annual revenue on print costs, according to a study by Gartner. For a small business with a turnover of a million pounds, this would equate to £30,000 a year. Despite its hefty cost, many business owners don’t assess the financial impact that printing habits have on their business. It tends to sneak by whilst more prominent expenses receive attention. This is to be expected though. With all of the responsibilities that come with running a business, there’s hardly time to look into every little expense your company accrues. That’s where we come in. With our managed print service, we can reduce print costs to your business. We’ll even supply ink and toner, and service your printers for you. Managed Print can save you, typically, around 30% (sometimes more) of your annual business print costs. This would equate to £9,000 a year using the above example.

On the days I face creative blocks, this is the place I usually visit. The printing press! Going by the name, you would think it's a pretty boring place but this is where the brands come alive. This is where entrepreneurs get to see & feel their product packaging for the first time. The materials used for printing, the designs, the brand names and the fresh colours coming out of the press are things which restore the creative juices after a long day of work. With time, have made friends in various presses and these guys never disappoint. Every single time they have something innovative to show. Meanwhile, you also realise that the thing you thought was your innovation is already being deployed by some brand. Nothing less than a classroom! #printing #press #classroom #brands #branding #packaging #design #marketing #market #sales #entrepreneurs #creative
