I’ve heard a lot of people say on here “call a local mom and pop print place, they’ll do it dirt cheap.” I did that today, and they wanted $60 just to print 250! The cheapest I’ve found so far is office depot and staples: which is about $25 for 250 and that is with a discount. I’m basically looking for the best bulk pricing. Are there any places that offer a yearly membership which discounts prints/services? The thing is, the cards aren’t actually for me. I make business card designs, then the people who are buying the design from me usually want me to print them as well. This is the part I don’t make money on, technically. I could charge a small convenience fee for doing the printing, but I don’t want my cost to be outrageous for the customer. Thoughts/recommendations? Is there a smarter way I could be doing this? TIA
No idea why people always say mom and pop shop, usually those are the most expensive because they cannot afford lower price than bigger shops. It’s rare to find one without them barely making a profit.
I would charge a percentage on top of the cost, you are taking the time to prep, send and receive the cards.
Anything out of your usual service because people do not know or too lazy too, you should charge extra on top of the cost.
