What is Print-on-Demand?
Print-on-demand is a digital printing technology in which materials can be printed on an as-needed basis. Instead of printing content in large quantities, print-on-demand allows organizations to print as the need strikes. The option of small-batch printing has a lot of positive attributes, including the benefits listed below.
Benefits of Printing-on-Demand
There’s Less Inventory
Many organizations need storage space to keep their marketing materials. But if you choose to try printing-on-demand, there is very minimal stock involved. Printing-on-demand allows the flexibility to only print what you need at the time. Your organization won’t need to maintain a designated area to store marketing materials. The lack of inventory can help avoid stockpiling outdated marketing materials that may go unused.
It’s An Eco-Friendly Alternative
Your organization will become more eco-friendly by choosing to print-on-demand. Since you won’t be storing outdated marketing materials, you won’t need to get rid of un-needed marketing item. Keeping a minimal amount of supplies will help your non-profit avoid future waste from un-used materials. Only printing and using materials you need at the time is a very eco-friendly alternative compared to stocking up on massive quantities of printed marketing content. This can also extend to reduced shipping costs associated with working with multiple vendors.
You Can Customize Small Amounts
When you are only printing what you need in small-batches, your marketing team can make changes to the text as needed and on-demand. By printing in smaller amounts, you don’t need to worry about wasting older, stored materials. Each time you are prepared to send materials to a new group of people, you can add focused, customized text to ensure your marketing outreach is well received. Creating small-batches of customized materials can provide a better, more successful outcome to your marketing campaign.
You will Save on Costs
Printing-on-demand allows you to avoid unnecessary up-front printing costs. If you are doubtful or unsure of your marketing approach, you can choose to opt for print-on-demand instead of printing in large quantities. Then, depending on the need, you can choose to either print in bulk, if you want to stay with the same marketing content for a while, or you can decide to continue printing on-demand with changes here and there.
