PRESENTING A BUSINESS-LIKE IMAGE IN PRINT
Cards, letterheads, and business forms from the
local discount office supplies store are not of
terrific quality, but most people figure they are
acceptable only because they think they can't afford
anything else. But you want top quality printing, to
give your home business the proper image, and one of
the most inexpensive ways to get it is from one of the
national mail-order companies that specializes in this
type of work. They buy the best grades of paper in
huge quantities, and can provide a variety of choices
of paper types, colors, and typesetting, while still
maintaining good prices. This gets you the same
quality of paper, typesetting, and ink used by giant
corporations. Your printed material is crucial as an
image builder.
Some entrepreneurs are reluctant to order printing
by mail, thinking that the local print shop will do the
job faster. Usually what happens is that the local
print shop is actually slower, and the quality cannot
begin to compete with what the giant corporations use.
There are some mail order printers who are
terribly slow (but they are usually the ones with poor
quality too). We've done a little checking around, and
found a national catalog house, New England Business
Service (NEBS), that ships most orders within two days
of receiving them (although they only promise to do so
in six days). It's nice to find somebody who can
deliver the best quality faster than they promise. For
a variety of printing, most people would be better off
ordering by mail and letting their new business have a
proper image from the very first day.
NEBS also does check printing, and a variety of
formats are available. Instead of just accepting the
limited choices your bank gives you, you can choose or
design a check that exactly meets your needs. Special
boxes, carbon copies, a layout that fits the one-write
bookkeeping system or the computer program you are
using -- whatever you want.
NEBS has several different free catalogs. Ask for
the business forms, checks & supplies catalog; the
computer forms & software catalog; the retail supplies
catalog (signs, tags, gift certificates); and/or the
contractors catalog. Just write to NEBS, Mailcode
18704, 500 Main Street, Groton MA 01471 or call
800-388-3810.
NEBS has over 2,000 employees and is a public
company with its stock is traded on NASDAQ. Founded
over 40 years ago, during 1993 NEBS served 1,200,000
small businesses throughout the United States, Canada,
and Great Britain for the printed business products
they use every day.
