A brand new service designed to provide a low cost, no risk revenue stream for commercial printers has been launched by merchant group PaperlinX.
It is providing customers within its Commercial Print Division with a fully optimised and customised online platform to sell packaging, paper and other media, to their existing clients.
The bespoke branded web storefront will initially provide customers’ clients with access to over 500 new product lines, and the plan is to continue adding to the range, in direct response to customer demand.
The service is positioned to help printers open up new business opportunities and deliver an alternative revenue stream without significant investment.
Managing director Phil Carr, said, ‘We expect that print volumes will continue to decline which is all the more reason why we’re focused on helping our customers to explore new ways in which to grow their business. This is a fantastic low cost, no risk opportunity and one that won’t tie up their much-needed cash.’
‘Our scope, skill and critical mass are available to customers; we’re able to expand our product offering in direct response to demand and will pick, pack and ship all orders on their behalf. There’s no requirement to invest in stock or warehousing for example, they simply utilise our infrastructure and just resell, earning a healthy commission per order placed that’s paid monthly as a rebate to their account,’ said Mr Carr.
