Q; surely I'm going to get best value by buying direct from my local printer?
A; on your standard lettrheads and business cards, probably. However, they are unlikely to be able to offer as much as
Bish Bosh in terms of range of products. As we place work with all our manufacturing partners regularly, we are able to enjoy
economies of scale that allow us to save you money.
And your local printer probably won't know where to start to get the best deals on the likes of labels, cartons and othe
specialist print. In actual fact, Bish Bosh do supply general printers with some of their more specialsist needs!
So if printers come to us, what does that say about our service?
Q; this makes you a middle man, right? Or a broker, agent or merchant?
A; yes, that's quite correct! We know that to be competitive, we must make your lives easier when buying print.
In the past, we've worked in large print manufacturers, and we are only too well aware of how awkward some of them can make
life, when all you want is your product printed!
We've seen how they inflate prices because of innefficient administration and production processes, and overly high overheads
(usually because of the high salary demands of Directors and managers in top heavy businesses!).
In this day and age, only the fittest companies are going to survive. This adage is probably truer now more than ever.
As Bish Bosh has no manufacturing, and minimum overheads, we don't need to put huge margins onto the work we buy
on your behalf.
We're keen, enthusiastic and positive about print. We know where to get the best deals for you in terms of price, quality
and delivery.
Q; so, you make these claims of knowing print and printers, how do I know they are not just
empty words?
A; until you know us, you'll need to trust us on that.
However, to indicate how we know what we know, heres an insight into the experiences our MD, Graham Church, has had in
his 22 years+ in the print trade.
He started as an apprentice label printer, before going into reprographics, where he learnt how to convert artwork and
ideas into print. During this time, he was involved in taking briefs from clients, and translating them into the language
of printers - in fact, he is truly fluent in this strange language, and all of it's regional dialects!
He has run printing production units, managed all sorts of different manufacturing environments, and marketed and
sold succesfully for a number of large print comapnies.
His personal ethos, which shapes the way Bish Bosh works, is that a succesful business can only be developed if it offers
true benefits to it's customers - so that is what he strives for.
Through his experiences in the print trade, he knows ony too well how many 'cowboys' there are out there, and is resolute
in his refusal to knowingly get involved with phoenix companies, dutch auctions, or any other activities that do not add value
or benefit to Bish Bosh or its' clients.
Q; so if you are telling me that you can save me money, does that mean there will be compromises
in terms of quality or lead times?
A; no.
We only use print manufacturers that we know, and who have a quality ethos form the top down.
What Bish Bosh prides itself in doing though, is listening to, and understanding your brief, and placing enquiries and
work with the correctly matched manufacturer.
However, if you have a 'Rolls Royce' of a job that needs to be produced, you can be sure that Bish Bosh will make it
happen.
But if you have a throw away leaflet job, that is tight on budget, then we will also make that happen.
I think the phrase I'm looking for here is 'horses for courses'
