Bolton Associates are printing brokers, how is that different from a Sales Rep or even from going direct to a printer?
A good question. You can view us as production managers. Right from the beginning we join you in seeking a solution to your printing needs. We don’t just throw your information over to a printer’s overseas team, like most Sales Rep’s do. Joanne looks carefully at your book specifications and then asks several printers whom she thinks would give you the best quality and price, to bid on your book. She studies the pricing and gives you a quote based on what she believes matches your criteria the closest. She analyzes the quote and your requirements. She makes her choices based on twenty five years experience in her field. If you have a time crunch, then her choice includes that factor, or if cost is the most important element, she considers that. Most clients want it all, the best quality, the best price and the best schedule. And although it isn’t always possible to get all three, at least with Bolton Associates you know which ones will most likely be met. Joane has this rule for press
