You're ready. You have your proof - you have your specifications. So what's next? You're now ready to choose your catalog printing company. With so many full color printing outfit out there, where should you start?

Choosing a print company for your catalog requires serious thought. Not only are you looking for someone to print your catalogs, you are also looking for a partnership that will help you launch your business to potential clients. A reputable and efficient catalog printer is one of the crucial decisions you must make for your business. Hey, it’s not only your money that’s involved but also your future reputation in your chosen field.

The Net

The internet is a very accessible and viable place to look for your printer company. They’re a dime a dozen. Just go to Google and you’ll have a smorgasbord of catalog printing companies to choose from. From here to Timbuktu, you can get one that can cater to your specific needs. It isn’t called the World Wide Web for nothing. However, with so many you might get just a tad overwhelmed. Because each one of them are promising you the sun and the moon when it comes to full color printing your catalog. (By the way, studies show that printing your catalog in full color proves to be more effective in attracting customers than those printed in one or two colors.)

Stay Local or Go Loco

One of the things you should look for in a catalog printing company is its location. Not only is it a practical decision but it is also the wisest one. Can you imagine having to drive so many kilometers just to get to your printer and make a change or decide on something that you and your catalog printer can’t make over the phone. I mean, it’s okay if you love driving so much, but what about during winter? You have to get up, change your clothes and prepare yourself for a grueling drive to the country. What if it’s the dead of the night or the wee hours of the morning for that matter? If you want faster delivery then you should make yourself available all the time. Also, think about the turnabout of your order print. It doesn’t take a genius to know that the farther away from your print store, the more likely you’ll get an assurance of expected delivery time.

Budget-Wise

Well, everybody knows that you should work according to your budget. Your full color catalog is not the only thing that you should pour resources on. There are other operating expenses that you need to fund in addition to your marketing tools. This is nothing new, but it is still a good advice to look for a printing company that is cost-effective AND affordable. What’s your catalog for anyway if you don’t have the resources anymore to pay for your other expenses. It should always come down to price and affordability.
