In our many travels throughout the United States, we have visited
companies who use a variety of approaches to obtain their swatch
samples. A common method is to produce the swatch samples internally
using staff and limited creative alternatives to do so. We ask clients
to show us their swatch sampling and find that many have hand-assembled
them in low quantities so they can have something to send out to
customers.
Our primary question to these clients is whether they realize the hidden
costs of internally producing their swatch samples. Things like the
non-production that occurs when employees are tied up being focused on
hand-assembly of swatch cards, ring sets, or even memos. The precision
of cutting, aligning, and even coordinating the materials into a
pseudo-production assembly line are all time factors that can make
internal creation of swatch samples a costly idea.
Enter Superior Sample.
The amazing fact is that Superior Sample can produce relatively small
volumes to large volumes of swatch samples, swatch cards, stack books,
or even display boards for a cost that includes efficient processes and a
much wider variety of creative options. Outsourcing versus insourcing
may be the easiest way to "WOW" your customers with your product
samples.
