Another financial year is just
born and new budgets for the marketing activities have been allocated. Now most
of the marketing and Sales teams will start allocating money for various
activities that are planned for the next year. Schools and Colleges will reopen
in end May and June and that is when sales promotion and marketing activities
begin to happen. It will begin with school children’s uniforms, shoes, school
bags-regular and water proofed ones. Textile companies regionally start
promoting their products for school uniform clothing and Shoe companies,
particularly national brands will start with their ad campaigns targeting
school kids’ parents. Similarly Biscuit companies will start their activities
promoting their brands with various offers targeting the same set of audience.
Once the strategies are in place,
advertising agencies will be called to chalk out the plan of action for
different Medias like Print, Television, Digital (Internet) and printing of POS
materials…Posters, Banners etc. Once the agencies consume the maximum time to
produce the creatives and very little time will be left to produce the
collaterals. Clients then start enquiring for costs for execution of these
printed collaterals and finalise the Vendors/Printers. As the season begins for
the commercial print houses, they are in a hurry to complete as many jobs as
possible before moving to the festival season rush.

This urgency usually ends up with
Clients spending money on the mediocre quality of printed collaterals as there
is hardly any time for the quality checking on the supplied materials by the
printer. The lighter or darker looking Posters, Foam banners will be noticed by
the Sales teams on market rounds and start complaining. This is where a Print
Production Specialist makes all the difference with his experience and expertise. By nature Print production specialists have imbibed certain
quality culture through their formative years in advertising agencies. Hiring
their services for a marginally higher amount than the printer is worth its
value as print production specialists take charge right from the time the
artworks are handed over to them along with an Order to print. They understand the end result
required and start working backwards to coordinate with agency’s art directors to get
the right size to eliminate wastage which results in cost benefits, the right
colour balance in the originals of the artwork to avoid ink gains (dot gains) in the final printing to ensure clarity of the
visuals as per the shoot/originals. Once the printing is completed, the Print
production specialist team starts coordinating with the finishing departments
in the printing presses to start sorting of printed quantity to eliminate
inconsistent copies and ensure only the consistently good looking copies are
packed and delivered. Kiran print production services is one such company that could make a
difference (visit: http://www.kiranprintproduction.com/about.html)
and take care of a lot of your print sourcing head aches.
