Collaborative working,
at its very best
Sharon Hutchinson from Splash Print Management
reveals how collaborative working helped to
make 2012 their best year yet...
Organisations of all sizes are realising the benefits of outsourcing
non-core business activities, as they get experts working within
their team without the commitment of salaries to pay.
The management and buying of print is perfectly suited to being
outsourced as substantial savings can be made, often significantly
more than the print management fees charged, effectively meaning
a business can benefit from having a dedicated print-buyer working
in their business for free.
Collaborating with other businesses operating in similar markets has
had many benefits. As well as having numerous service providers that
we can use ourselves and confidently recommend to our customers,
we have had a continuous stream of good quality referrals. Working
together in this way, is very cost-effective. Our only investment is the
time it takes to build relationships and facilitate introductions.
Photography
All businesses need good quality
imagery - potential customers usually
form their ‘first impression’ from images
of your team or products before you
have the opportunity to meet them.

customers with professional and eyecatching photographs that they can
use in printed and online marketing
materials. They are happy to offer
advice at the concept stage too,
enabling you to make the most of their
expertise and show your business off in
the very best light.
Whether we love it or hate it, very few
businesses can operate effectively
without reliable IT systems. Tomorrow’s

minimize the disruption to your business
caused by computer failure. They are
Sage specialists and provide bespoke
software and network solutions that
save you time and money. Despite their
technical expertise, they haven’t lost the
ability to talk in plain English!
