Customer communication is a cornerstone for any successful enterprise. It’s no wonder that having good client relationships begins and ends with efficient, timely, and coherent systems for billing, invoicing, statement sending, and general correspondence. No matter how good a business is at manufacturing, production, marketing, and employee management, failures in client communication can make or break a business.
There are so many factors that go into making a business successful. From the initial start-up to giant growth periods, it is so difficult to be experts in everything. However, for most businesses, self-reliance is not just a priority, it is a must. Independence can be taken to the extreme until a business owner literally spends every precious moment trying to handle every aspect of operations.
It takes skill and trust to be good at outsourcing aspects of a business to a third party. And yet, there is so much data to support how outsourcing, particularly the mundane tasks of bill printing and mailing can significantly increase productivity, reduce costs, and generally enhance flow for small and large businesses alike. What exactly is outsourcing?
What Exactly Is Outsourcing?
Outsourcing is just a complicated word for handing over certain aspects of your business to an outside specialist. That’s it. There are so many ways to use outsourcing to benefit your business. In strategic management, outsourcing is one of the best ways to save money, time, and resources of all kinds. Let’s look at an example of outsourcing.
A family-owned bakery specializing in home-baked bread, cookies, scones, donuts, and croissants, offers delicious artisan baked goods to its community. Filled with pastry flours, sugars, baking powder, butter, nuts, chocolate, and creams, this popular bakery handles everything from procuring the best wheat to making the creamiest cupcake frosting imaginable.
One day, a client comes in and asks for a gluten-free treat. The manager explains that because the bakery is powdered in flour, it would be impossible to make a truly gluten-free snack that would comply with gluten-free standards. Any attempt to make one in-house would result in contamination of the gluten-free items with the wheat-based products.
With some creative research, the family business owner finds a local company that specializes in wholesale, gluten-free pastries. In no time, this locally loved bread shop is able to sell gluten-free products to its loyal gluten-sensitive clients. Rather than fighting with resources to endeavor to make their bakery comply with gluten-free standards, this bakery does the smart thing by outsourcing the specific gluten-free product from someone else. This is just one simple example of outsourcing.
How Does Outsourcing Bill Printing Help?
Outsourcing your billing can be as easy as the example above. When you partner with a reputable expert in the field of bill printing and mailing such as Towne Mailer, you will be able to hand over the management and execution of one of the most resource-laden aspects of business ownership. Towne Mailer takes your billing data, prepares it for mailing, and sends it out within twenty-four hours. Just imagine how much time and energy could be reserved for other aspects of your business when you choose to partner with a third party company to handle your bill printing and mailing.
Reviewing your business processes regarding bill printing and mailing is the first step. Your employees spend dozens of hours on the time-consuming demands of preparing and mailing bills and statements. Even if you use an online database to help organizations, due to the possibility of a high number of errors in automated services such as these, you still have to check each bill, contact individual creditors or debtors, and hand-check each file.
When you hand over such a labor-intensive activity, your workweek is refocused on creative tasks instead of the drudgery of bill preparation and mailing. Imagine a creative staff focusing time and energy on innovation, expansion, and invigoration for your business instead of plowing through piles of bills and paperwork. Towne Mailer is an expert at handling bill printing and mailing for clients all around the country. Isn’t it time you looked into outsourcing your bill printing and mailing with a service such as Towne Mailer?
What Are The Benefits of Outsourcing?
There are some proven benefits to outsourcing your bill printing and mailing services. When you take on this task in-house, there are equipment purchases and maintenance, storeroom paper stocking, reports, and computer upgrades, and data protection to manage. Outsourcing your bill printing and mailing can help your business to minimize purchases of costly printers, stockpiles of paper goods and printing supplies, and time spent in handling sensitive data.
Not only does outsourcing reduce costs in time and money, but it also raises the quality and overall professionalism of your billing. Instead of your billing looking like a low-end product on a sub-standard printer, your designs are cutting edge, your bills are streamlined, and your end result is a more exceptional presentation.
Rather than trying to become a first-rate printing house, you can leave that work to us so that you can get back to doing the business of your business. An in-house bill printing and mailing service could never compare to the professional product we offer at Towne Mailer.
Another common issue is timeliness. When you outsource your bill printing and mailing, you will never again have to worry about missed deadlines, overdue bills, and late fees from those issues. Clients that receive consistent, timely, and professional-looking bills that are printed using the most modern layouts and techniques will feel confident paying in a timely manner in turn. And the result is better cash flow for you and your business.
