As we begin to enter the economic recovery stage of the pandemic, managing your print marketing supply chain effectively will be critical for reengaging with customers and acquiring new ones.

Best Quality, Service and Price – Get All Three: Breaking the Iron Triangle

In the previous segments we discussed the importance of managing the many pre- and post-pricing details of custom print projects. Because the ready-made, off-the-shelf goods they are built to buy don’t require the same level of detail; commonly-used procurement methods and tools don’t provide such functionality. That’s unfortunate, because those same functions also set the […]

Best Quality, Service and Price – Get All Three: Post Pricing Details

There isn’t much to be done once the buy is made for off-the-shelf goods. Custom printing, because of it’s made-to-specification nature, requires a lot more attention after the buy is made. This is especially true when achieving the best quality and service are part of the goal. General procurement doesn’t have to account for such […]

Procurement methods for common, off-the-shelf items are not built to handle all of the details print projects require before pricing is considered, let alone sought. Management and qualification of vendors, development of intensely detailed specifications and collaboration among key people who are often in very diverse roles are not as critical when sourcing pre-made items […]

Once we feel we have a process in place that accommodates the unique complexities of one of our marketing operations, the next step is to figure out how to make it work.

Do We Fear Change…Or Something Else?

Do We Fear Change…Or Something Else?

Some may say the reason that we as marketers and marketing operations professionals are reluctant to change in the way we do what we do is fear of the unknown. That’s a cop-out. Marketers aren’t afraid of the unknown. We regularly charge forward, damned near blindly, into the unknown. If we fall flat on our […]

Change is Good, Except…

Some might say that marketing is all about change. After all, as marketers and marketing operations professionals, we’re always faced with change. A new product to bring to market? That’s change. New target audience for that product? That’s change too. New messaging and channels to communicate with that audience? Yep, that’s also change. Change is […]
