FROM THE PRINT ROOM
If you've ever wondered how note pads are glued, it's just like painting a wall. All the sheets are piled up, and bricks are placed at the top. Then we just paint the edge with padding glue. About an hour later the glue dries and goes clear. The last stage is to trim each pad with a sharp knife.

Take a deep breath when someone argues with your price. There’s a less stressful way!

Price objections are something every business owner faces, but often it’s not really about the price itself. It can come down to timing, cash flow, uncertainty, or simply not understanding the value behind the service or product being offered.

At Simply Print, we’ve found the best approach is to slow the conversation down and genuinely listen before jumping in to defend the price. When customers feel heard and understood, they become far more comfortable discussing their concerns openly.

We like to acknowledge what the customer is saying and ask thoughtful questions that help them explore the outcomes of moving forward versus doing nothing. This creates a respectful conversation rather than a sales pitch, and it allows the customer to come to their own logical conclusion without feeling pressured.

Many businesses make the mistake of immediately discounting their price to secure the job. While that may occasionally work in the short term, constantly competing on price can damage perceived value and attract customers who only shop around for the cheapest option.

The key is to sell the value, not the price.

There will always be someone cheaper, but customers genuinely remember great service, reliability, quality, experience, and helpful advice. That’s why it’s important to position yourself as the expert and communicate the real benefits behind what you offer.

At Simply Print, we believe people are far more likely to support a business they trust and feel comfortable dealing with. A genuine conversation and a helpful attitude can often achieve far more than simply lowering your price.

At the end of the day, it’s not about convincing people to buy. It’s about helping them feel confident and comfortable in their decision to choose you.

Vinyl Of The Week

Eagles - Hotel California. Well what can you say about such an iconic album? The title track will be played on radio for centuries to come, but my favourite song is the last on the album called "The Last Resort", because it tells the epic story of "how the west was lost" as Don Henly describes it. He further stated in an interview "The song is about the human tendency to ruin beautiful places in the name of progress and greed." The lyrics get me emotional every time I listen to it. "We satisfy our endless needs, and justify our bloody deeds, in the name of destiny, and in the name of God" .

PRINT CONFESSION

We get so many business card files sent to us with too much information. With business cards, less is definitely more. You only get one chance at a first impression, so someone having to squint to read your business card isn't the first impression you want to make. Name, contact details, a few dot points, and perhaps a QR code are all you need. Don't give them your life story, give them a reason to call you.

Are You Comparing Apples With Apples When Getting Printing Quotes?

Most people don’t think twice about the difference between digital printing and offset printing - and that’s understandable. But knowing the difference can save you from disappointment when you collect your printing.

At Simply Print, we use both digital and offset printing depending on the job. Digital printing is ideal for short runs and has improved dramatically over the years, but not all digital printers produce the same quality. Traditional offset printing on a press still offers a sharper, more premium finish for many products.

When comparing printing quotes, it’s important to ask questions. A cheaper price doesn’t always mean better value. Think of it like comparing tyres - there’s a big difference between a budget option and a premium brand.

Before choosing a printer, always ask:
• Will my job be printed digitally or offset?
• What paper or card stock will be used?
• Does the quote include GST?
• Are there any hidden costs?
• What turnaround time should I expect?

Your printed material represents your business, so quality matters. The key is choosing the right print method for the right job - and that’s where we can help.

If you’d like advice on the best option for your next project, we’re always happy to help.

Vinyl Of The Week

Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms, and my favourite song from this album is the one playing - Your Latest Trick. The saxophone part is amazing, played by renowned jazz saxophonist Michael Brecker. Brothers in Arms was one of the first albums recorded digitally and helped drive the CD boom in the 80s. Do you remember this one?
