Advantages of Print-on-Demand

The print-on-demand model carries several advantages, including cost control and inventory control. Its popularity exploded in recent years, as business owners and e-commerce business owners were drawn to a business model in which vendors fill the orders, then pack and ship direct to the end customer. Not only does this model save time, which you can then invest back into your business, devoting more of yourself to creating new designs, marketing the business, or interfacing with your customer base, but also alleviates the need to carry inventory, thereby increasing cash flow.

Why is Print-on-Demand so popular?

Since print-on-demand products are made to order with no minimums, even an order of a single product with a specific design can be fulfilled. This opens the door to satisfying a demand for personalization while remaining profitable. Another factor is the shift from traditional retail to e-commerce.

Four Advantages of Print-on-Demand

1. TIMELY + EFFICIENT

More businesses are leveraging print-on-demand because it’s both timely and efficient. E-commerce business owners can feature a broad range of personalized, customizable product offerings without having to carry inventory or forecast sales. Customers simply select their product(s) of choice and place their order. Once the orders are placed, they’re transmitted to a 3^rd party printer who prints, produces, packs, and ships the product directly to the customer.

2. LOW RISK + LOW INVESTMENT

POD also reduces risks and investments associated with inventory and budget. Too often large bulk print purchases create cost issues through storage and inventory management fees. Making matters worse, outdated content becomes a real problem. It’s beyond frustrating to pay for inventory space on bulk print purchases that end up sitting on shelves collecting dust, only for them to be outdated by the time they’re used or remembered. With POD, you can store your print files electronically and change content and product offerings as often as you’d like.

3. FRESH + CUSTOM CONTENT

As noted above, POD uses the latest file versions, giving you fresh content as needed. It also works with variable data, which allows you to customize your prints however you want. Refresh existing designs, create new ones, develop product extensions of your best sellers, the options are virtually endless. With POD, there are also no order minimums, customers can order as few or as many items as they want.

4. STREAMLINED + CONVENIENT

POD also alleviates the tedious work of coordinating with numerous vendors or middlemen for your print supply chain needs. E-commerce business owners can partner with POD suppliers and source all their printing, warehousing, and shipping from a single partner.
