August 23, 2011 - Despite its colossal size and importance, the print industry as a whole has neglected the shift to internet commerce for years. Over $160 billion is billed annually by the 34,000+ print service providers in the United States alone. The top 50 companies capture over 30% of the revenue and this disparity will continue to grow until small and medium printers embrace industry opportunities and take advantage of ecommerce.
The benefits of ecommerce for printers have been well documented, and the business case is crystal clear. Ecommerce empowers print providers with an expanded reach and customer base, it reduces their customer acquisition costs, and it reduces the time wasted in the costly prepress stage. It provides a way to automate quoting, payment, and shipping. Printers who take advantage of ecommerce save time, save money, and make more money by capturing additional business and operating with greater efficiency.
And not only do most customers appreciate an online store, many prefer it. It is an important signal of quality and reputation. If customers can't compare your products and services then you're not even in their consideration set.
