Benchmark Your Print Spend

We all want to get the best value for money, but it’s often difficult to know if and when you have achieved this goal. The task can be made almost impossible if you are not an expert in all areas of the printing industry, or have a large and diverse spend spread over a significant number of transactions.

Blue Buffalo are frequently engaged to undertake just such Benchmarking projects on our clients’ behalf.

A client who was coming to the end of their contract wanted to evaluate the market before deciding whether to renew with their existing supplier or issue a tender to the marketplace.

After undertaking an initial print audit, extensive analysis and irrefutably demonstrating to the client that there was a saving of 16% available in the marketplace, our client re-negotiated from a position of knowledge with their existing supplier achieving a ROI of the Blue Buffalo costs of more than 50:1.
