GAIN, IMPROVE OR RESTORE BRAND CONSISTENCY THROUGH ECOMMERCE WEB-TO-PRINT FULFILLMENT
3/22/2019
Let's Start A Conversation:
Brand inconsistencies can hamper your marketing efforts, but a quality and tech-savvy eCommerce printing service can provide both a solution and a whole new set of opportunities.
If your business has more than one location, it’s possible to have different managers or purchasing agents contracting a variety of local print or digital services while also making uncoordinated updates and revisions.
You need a better way
to manage your company’s
brand image across multiple
marketing channels and
different business locations.
Consistency counts and a
unified approach to your
product or service messaging
will improve your lead
generation, customer
acquisition and retention
prospects.
Print Inconsistencies Can Have a Negative Marketing Effect
Your company’s credibility, as seen through the eyes of both existing and potential customers, can be better preserved through effective brand control. There are several ways that noticeable deviations in presentation or messaging content can slip through to your targeted market base. Competing or confusing messages and variations in formatting or color can spell trouble for your branding and marketing efforts, but centralized control over your printed marketing materials can help avoid this type of embarrassment.
Better Than an In-House Printing Department
Web to print, also referred to as W2P, provides a remedy to inconsistency in the form of a centralized online resource and access portal for your entire company’s printed marketing needs. This is a great way to gain control over print matter without your company being required to set up an entire in-house printing department – which would obviously be a very costly capital expenditure. By outsourcing all your company’s print marketing needs to one online W2P resource, consistency can be ensured while you also gain some additional benefits.
Greater convenience translates into increased efficiency and improved staffing utilization; with W2P, all the current revisions and marketing updates can be accessed throughout your company with just a few mouse clicks. Anyone with the proper authorization or password can review the most recent print work, proof a proposed marketing piece, check the status of print job, or share work with others for input and review prior to ordering.
A major part of web-to-print convenience is that it’s available remotely and on a 24/7 basis. It’s also a good way for sales reps to easily access the most up-to-date marketing and pricing materials when they’re on the road.
Reduce Your Print Spending
When your company sets up an online print fulfillment system, you’ll be able to leverage your marketing and print budget. You won’t need to worry about separate locations ordering small print runs and you’ll instead benefit from the economy of scale.
Budget guardians will also be able to keep track of spending across different locations and departments and they’ll be better prepared to set up more realistic estimates for future expenditures. W2P also provides quick and easy automated job pricing; a budget request can be prepared and the actual final product reviewed and approved by the proper parties before a print order is actually placed.
Centralized Sales Material and Document Access
A W2P provider can serve as a convenient and centralized document storage and review service. This can go beyond sales and marketing and enable authorized HR, customer service and training personnel to quickly access and review any changes to policy documents, technical content, employee handbooks or other in-house materials before the printed versions are available and in hand.
Personalized and Cross-Channel Marketing
Personalized direct-mail marketing campaigns are effective because they match customer buying habits and demographics to individualized marketing approaches. A full-service W2P provider can enable recipient database updates to be entered into an approved online print template to create mailing pieces tailored to your company’s most recent data compilations. The addressing and mailing can also be included as part of the outsourced servicing. Your sales team will be able to take advantage of individualized marketing materials that can reach their intended recipients in the shortest possible time.
Speed Up Design Time and Easily Compare Printing Options Online
A W2P service can provide your sales and marketing staff with pre-approved templates that they can brainstorm from. Different approaches, but all within approved template formats, can be tried out online before a final consensus is reached and the print job is launched. A new and proposed marketing piece can be designed online and then saved as a PDF file to be shared with other team members via email prior to placing the final order. Your marketing team can also compare pre-order pricing online for print extras such as UV coatings, special folding, embossing and other print job enhancements.
