Why Sublimate?

How Will Offering Sublimated Products Profit Me?

Here are seven excellent reasons sublimation printing will profit you-

1. Ready Made Market - The sublimation process has been around over 25 years and has gotten better, each year, to the point that many actually prefer the look. Many of your existing and potential customers are already buying sublimated products. If you offer those products, they will buy from you.

2. High Profit Margins - A recognized authority on the sublimation process stated, "If the need is to cheaply produce lots and lots of metal plates, there is no comparison with sublimation." Margins on materials range from 400% to 1000% and the extraordinary high speed of the process adds even more to the profit.

3. Compatibility - According to research, customers look at any type of company that offers a printed or lettered product as an expert. The credibility of the company is already established. This makes laser sublimation very compatible because it is just a different process of lettering and printing.

4. Add On Sales - Most customers only want a specific quantity of what you offer, and you can't change that. The low cost, high-speed productivity of laser printer sublimation also allows the opportunity to produce "impulse buy" gifts, which are not personalized (that is why nearly every retailer in the world, from restaurants to department stores, have those type of items around the cash register).

5. Flexibility - Most companies who sell the finished products of others (and even companies who offer only engraving) have been caught in a "time" bind. At best, their customer wanted something so fast, rush charges killed their profits or, at worst, the company couldn't provide anything at all. Sublimation offers such a diversity of ability and possibility that you will always have a chance to offer something: at a good profit.

6. Related "cross selling"- Today's customer demands convenience and fast service. Smart professionals are catering to that demand. Award companies are selling ad specialties; branch banks are locating in grocery stores; vinyl sign companies are offering engraving, quick-print shops are doing T-shirts; discount department stores are selling food; ad specialty companies are cashing in by offering personalized products. Customers like the convenience of "one stop shopping" and respond by buying more.

7. Low start- up costs - Even if you have nothing but a computer, and must buy everything else, you can still set-up a basic sublimation printing system for under £1000. Low start-up cost means that you start making money faster that can go into your pocket or put back into your business, for faster growth.
