Print Deadlines

When producing company literature such as newsletters or magazines, meeting printing deadlines is essential in order to avoid costly mistakes, but in some situations your company may be working right up to the wire and there is a fine balance between having the most up to date information in your company literature and missing the printing press deadlines. You only need to look at the newspaper headlines on the morning after the election to see that the deadlines of the country’s printing press meant that the newspapers struggled to meet the public’s need for the most up to date information possible. Headlines were uncertain as Britain faced a hung parliament but, as results were still trickling in, the newspapers could not call for certain what was happening before they had to go to press and some relied on speculation.

Businesses in Bath should know the benefits of working with a local printing company in Bath, rather than a larger printing house, when looking to get their news out to consumers in order to build up a strong relationship and receive a more personal service. You may not be on such tight deadlines as the national press with the whole nation hanging on your written word and expectations high for the most newsworthy scoop, however, for a professional appearance, your company information must be as accurate as possible. Building a close relationship with a local printer will ensure co-operation should you need to work to extend deadlines or negotiate on costs.

Networking: You Don’t Have to Be the Centre of Attention to be Effective

If you’re like most companies, you’d probably like more revenue. More money may come in the form of more customers. More customers may come through more networking. More networking may make you want to run to the nearest wall and take the form of a flower. Don’t run! Take a deep breath. Introverts can master the art of networking with a little help from these tips.

Host an event. Seems like we’re throwing you into the fire? In a way, it is. But think about the duties of a host. You need to make sure everyone is taken care of and feels comfortable. This gives you a natural topic to discuss. “Can I get you anything?” is so much easier than trying to come up of another opener.

Get in their Facebook. Face-to-face is the best way to truly build relationships, but technology has allowed for people to network without even leaving their desks. Establish some acquaintances in person then work to build that relationship through Facebook, LinkedIn or other social media websites.

Advice breaks the ice. Offer up advice on subjects you know well. Watch that you don’t overstep your bounds and offer unsolicited advice. But if you can provide them with some information that they find useful and will establish you as an expert in your field then you’ve achieved your goal. If they are looking to do business with a company like yours, hopefully you’ll be the first to come to mind.

Take up the offer of Business Mixers. In most towns and cities across the country you will find business network groups which offer evening mixers, a place where business people can wind down once a month and catch up over a drink and they are usually mixed in with a speaker and focal point. We love the Best of Bath, but their are Best of network in many towns across the country.

As the good saying goes, “practice makes perfect.” The more you work on networking skills the easier it will become. Just because networking may not come natural to you doesn’t mean you will be less effective than that gregarious person holding court in the center of the room.

Well if there's space...

Every now and then we get a point on our presses when we think we could squeeze just a little more out of it.

So now at 12pm each day we are going to take a look at what we might have room for over the following few days, and if there's space we'll fill it. It just makes economic sense...

Every deal will be at half the usual price. You will have to be quick though as we will be offering this on a strictly first come first serve basis and once it's gone it's gone.
