Casting Products in a New Light to Spur Sales

I’m sure your thinking, “What does coin collecting have to do with UV printing?” Well in Dan G’s previously posted comment about targeting vertical markets, UV printing is similar to the quarter program. Chances are the majority of your current customers will not spend the extra money to print their existing products with UV inks and coatings just because you have invested the money for the dryers and supplies. And I don’t think that you as a business entrepreneur would you expect them to do so.

To some, the state quarters are only worth the $.25 that is stamped on the coin. Use the Mint’s idea and gather some new audiences or even possibly renew interest with your current customers by offering some fresh ideas. Marketing is everything, and with all of the various substrates available, UV can be the answer. Print buyers are still searching for something that will differentiate their product from the next package on the store shelf or the campaign piece that you received in the mailbox yesterday.

Plastics and foils will be around for sometime. Why not take out some of the worries and concerns? Will it dry? Did the ink adhere? Did we run small enough lifts and an adequate amount of spray powder so the sheets don’t offset? Why not find the answers to these questions as soon as the sheet is pulled out off the delivery?

You also have to keep in mind the possibilities you will have with uncoated stocks. The hold outs are phenomenal. You can achieve a look-and-feel that will not be duplicated with conventional printing. Not to mention, all of the wild and crazy special effects possible. They’re endless if you want to spend some time and effort on testing.

Keep all of this in mind when you’re contemplating the idea of either purchasing the equipment to produce UV printing or just to enhance and develop your existing book of business.
