Control your costs

Ever heard the saying "take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves"? Well its just as valid for business.

Overheads are a fact of life for almost every business, but how often do you check your suppliers to make sure you're getting the best price? One business I was involved in in the 1980's (yes, I've been around that long) saved £70,000+ PER YEAR just by changing the print company they used (this was a £6 million turnover business, so not a massive company).

Zoom forward to today and we recently paid just £59 for 2500 full colour, two sided A5 size leaflets (200gsm glossy paper). The first quote we had was over £200.

The moral?……………… shop around!
