Does my online print business need designthing?
Whatever line of business you are in, whether you are selling to consumers or to other businesses, designthing offers huge flexibility for your customers and at the same time, guaranteeing print-ready artwork that meets your specifications.
Why designthing?
Most digital printers communicate with thier customers directly through the web. And customers are expecting an increasingly high level of experience when visiting business websites.
The cost of keeping up-to-date with the latest web technology has increased significantly, as new technologies have come out to support greater functionality within the browser window.
It used to be acceptable for online print companies to offer customers a simple html-style template with which to design business cards, and offer an ftp-path for the professional designers who understand both design complexity and print-issues. Nowadays, customers want to create professional looking printed materials by themselves.
However, most customers would struggle with the complexity of using professional packages such as Photoshop to create the artwork they really want, without even considering the cost of purchasing a licence.
designthing is perfect if you:
- Want to grow your business
- Want to protect market share
- Need to move into new markets
- Want to improve your customer facing offer
- Are fed up of seeing better funded companies steal market share
- Want to impress and reassure customers that they are using the best technology available
- Want to fight off competition
- Want to attract potential employes
- Want to promote a new back end service, but dont have an attractive front-end.
Why every small online print company needs designthing
Enter designthing. We recognised that the vast majority of individuals would like a basic set of design functionality with which to be creative, without the complexity that goes with using professional packages. We also recognised, after spending considerable time with online printing companies, that they themselves spend huge amounts of time correcting customers artwork, making it print ready, and matching it to their particular product specifications. All for nothing.
As the print industry continues to become increasingly competitive, savings on labour costs become increasingly important. 5 minutes 'fixing' here, 10 minutes aligning there, over the course of a year, these add up considerably.
One of the common responses we get from satisfied customers is 'designthing saves me so much time'. Time equals money, and in todays market conditions, saving money can only be a good thing.
