Using our online bidding and procurement tool and our experience, we provide the best combination of price, service, and quality that you seek for a cost effective direct mail solution.
SCHEDULE/PLAN
Your deadlines are our priority. That's why your project will begin with a well thought out plan and firm deadlines. In fact, we can often expedite the handling of your project based on the relationships we have developed with our network of suppliers. Don’t worry if you don’t have a mail schedule, we will make one for you. Throughout the production process we keep you up-to-date, meeting regularly on the status of your project. We are always accessible and quick to respond to your changes, questions, or concerns. Our integrity has been built on our proactive approach and attention to detail. If problems arise they are resolved promptly, before they impact your schedule.
PRINT MANAGEMENT
Printing costs are a major part of any direct mail budget and can soar out of control without the proper attention. Technology is also changing rapidly, leaving behind those unprepared to take advantage of cost-saving innovations. Whether your need is Computer to Plate, an FTP site, or electronic proofing, we can support it. The PS computer program Prosis allows us to maintain fast information regarding the bidding and procurement of your components. If you need to know the latest in package and printing design, we can help. At PS, our size and reputation in the industry position us at the forefront to learn about new technology. We are always kept abreast of important market news, such as impending changes in materials cost. Our production managers are experienced in assisting clients with paper selection, cost-effective layout options, custom processes, and in leveraging the substantial buying power of PS to quickly obtain competitive printing bids — keeping you within budget.
DATA PROCESSING
Complicated output requirements are not a problem for Production Solutions. Often overlooked, data processing management is one of the most complicated and error-prone aspects of direct mail production. Whether your project is large or complex, we can use our partner base to bring the right answers to you. We have worked with difficult merges, list management, and data management to make your project go smoothly. To ensure that your project moves through this process smoothly, we combine our experience with the resources of our strategic partner Frontline Data Group. Specialists in custom data processing work, FDG provides services such as list management/fulfillment, merge/purge work, PCOA, and database management.
MAIL SHOP MANAGEMENT
Outsourcing mailshop functions is one of the areas where our agency partners find the greatest cost benefits. We are adept at achieving postal savings through automation, commingling, and consolidation. Our experience and thorough knowledge of postal requirements, mailshop instruments and automation takes the stress out of your direct mail campaign.
