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.

Make sure your Business Card hits the mark

You’re starting your business and of course you’re excited to talk about it. While out networking you get a bite. Someone wants your contact information and you’re stuck holding a napkin and asking to borrow a pen. Business cards should be one of the first items you print as you’re building your business.

Business cards are an affordable way to make you look professional and legitimise your company. Business cards are convenient. You should carry them on your person at all times. You never know where or when you’ll meet your next customer.

What should be on your business card? A pitfall of first-time business owners is to attempt to cram absolutely everything you do on your card—after all you want to conserve your budget. Remember the primary goal of your business card is to provide your contact information. Let a brochure, sales sheet or website do the work of listing your services.

Consider how you want to be contacted. Your name, e-mail, primary phone numbers and website address should suffice for most. Some may want to select their Twitter or other social media account if that’s more conducive to the business model.

If you must, include just a service or two as a reminder of what you do. But remember you run the risk of looking less professional. The more you add, the smaller the type and the more cluttered your card will appear, rendering it nearly impossible to read.

When you’re ready to print your cards, you may want to head to a printing company. Spend the little extra and ask for about various options available. An impressive weight, or laminating will will surely get good comments and screams professionalism.

Minuteman Press offers the whole range of business cards printing and also designers who can really make your card work for you.

Now that you have your new business cards you’re ready to go out and get new clients. So use that napkin to wipe your hands and give them that confident handshake.

Direct mail can still work!

There’s something about Royal Mail that is a little romantic. There’s still a little anticipation in your heart as you head when the post arrives. You still wonder, "Did I get anything cool in the mail today?".

Even special offers from companies get people excited.

Direct mail is still a powerful tool and here is why:
Reach your target market. Direct mail gets its name because of the likelihood of your message reaching the intended audience. It has far greater odds than the shot gun approach of mass media (also aptly named). Even Millennials (consumers aged 18-24) are into receiving direct mail. BIGresearch reported in 2007 that 26% appreciated and responded to direct mail.

Get one-on-one attention.
Mail is personal. People open the mail on their time, when they’re ready to engage. Pitney Bowes reported in a 2008 Direct Mail Survey that 85% of people will open, sort and read mail; and 75% of those consumers look more closely for special sales.

Spend less.
With a more selective target, your cost per client acquisition is relatively low compared to other marketing channels. For a postcard and a stamp, oftentimes you can reach a prospect for under a dollar each.

Get action.
After your direct mail piece is sent out you will know whether the campaign was successful in a short amount of time. According to the DMA, 33% of consumers will respond to direct mail by going to your website. If your target is going to make a purchase, they will do so shortly after receiving the mailing piece. This is important for tracking your ROI. When cash is tight, it is nice to know how effective your message was so you can adjust.

Make it personal.
OK so you can send out a standard mailer, may be with their name on the envelope and then leave your prospective client disappointed when they see it's a random mailshot. At Minuteman Press our digital press and variable data software can bring your mailings to life through customising them. Why not give one of our team a call on 01225 442000 or email Dave on info@minutemanbath.co.uk tell us what message you want to send and who you want to send it to, and we will help you get a better return on your investment.

Back to normal.

The weather is almost behind us and we are expecting business as usual this week. Our paper merchants have caught up with their deliveries to us so we will be catching up with any delayed orders because of this today.

We are printing some stunning mailers today for the Motorexpo, we use a rich black on these to give a great finish and look and we have printed on a nice 280gsm Silk. I know our client will be really happy with the final result.

Three for the price of Two on printed Stationery!

So the snow got us thinking what could we do to cheer people up who have missed out on time at work or have been struggling through the snow to get there?

Well here it is.

Order 3 different items of your company stationery and we will give you the cheapest item completely free of charge*.

So if you order letterheads, business cards and compliment slips the cheapest item in that will probably be the compliment slips, which you will not pay for.

It's snow joke, we must be losing it.

Free stationery? Yep!

We are running this until 28th February 2010 and applies to full colour stationery, the letterheads and compliment slips on 100gsm Executive and the business cards on the 400gsm Luxury Artboard.

Email us at info@minutemanbath.co.uk for a quote!

*Needless to say that maximum order quantities will apply - just to make it fair.
