What do printers generally set as goals?

Increase in sales to existing customers through better understanding of their offering
Attraction of new creative business customers

It’s important to set attainable goals, so when looking at specific product sales increases there has to be a full understanding of how many people want or need that service. – a niche financial product for instance will not have the same level of interest as everyday accounting packages.

We won’t be talking about a specific business or printers marketing campaign in this case study.

All of our case studies are white labelled. We will happily sign NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) with our clients when working with them on their marketing. We never share specific details with anyone else, so rest assured where we have experience working with more than one client in any one industry sector, you’ll never know what we are exactly does for them or they for you. We only bring our experience and understanding of the sector with us, every solution is totally unique to each and every client.

We have worked with, and are still working with, a number of different businesses within any one industry space. Within the accountancy space we have been working with both general and niche product businesses primarily within the UK.

The wants and needs for the majority of print based businesses we have worked with have been generally the same; ‘we want to sell more to existing customers’, ‘we would like new repeat business customers for general and specific services’ or a combination of the two.

The majority of print businesses we have worked with are surprisingly lead by price per hour for our services rather than the price of a client upsell or new client onboarded. The majority of their targeted clients do not change printers on a regular basis, but are often swayed by price rather than quality so the lifetime value of a new sale can be high for those looking for a balance of both, even for a lower level service.
