An in general summary of this idea/proposal is:
*We have a 60" x 96" UV Digital Printer, prints 4CP on most substrates up to 1.5" thick
*Build a Customer Specific website made for franchises, corporate chains, distributors, schools, etc.
*Each franchise has the opportunity to log-in, place an order...for example; 3 Banners, 10 Window Clings, 2 Counter Mats & 1 Open/Closed Sign....possibly for that particular month's promotion.
*The order is received by us, printed & shipped direct to that specific franchise
*Corporate bills each affiliate for their order, based on data transmitted by us at the time of shipment.
*End of the month...all orders will be tallied, detailed by franchise & invoiced to Corporate.
Corporate Benefits:
*All orders printed & shipped will be billed on a monthly basis for only the actual orders received. As opposed to paying upfront for a large print run, inventory & warehousing for items that they can only HOPE will be ordered by their affiliate locations.
*Personalization....Since this is Digital...we can make each print order specific to that one franchise if requested.
So...My question(s); How do I get started? What do I need to do first? How do I get it in front of the right buyers? Who are the right buyers?
We have this excellent capability that would benefit so many small chains, franchises & distributors....but I am stuck on how to get it out there.
Thank you in advance for any guidance on this.
