NEW COMPANY HELPS PRINT SHOPS EVOLVE INTO CREATIVE SERVICE PROVIDERS

The Creative Support Team Allows Printers To Help More Customers And Earn Profit Through Expanded Product Offerings

Phoenix, AZ — November 2010 - The Creative Support Team (CST), a company dedicated to helping trade printers meet the growing creative and marketing demands of their customer base, officially launched on November 1, 2010.

In the face of a rapidly-changing landscape where more and more individuals and businesses are seeking creative, design, content management, and marketing services, traditional printers are struggling to adapt and take advantage.

The Creative Support Team provides printers with a comprehensive solution by allowing them to effectively outsource creative projects to CST’s carefully-picked team of experts.

“Printers are seeking new ways to attract customers, hold them longer, and provide a more comprehensive customer experience so that they can increase profits,” said Bobbi Fischer, Director of Operations for CST. “CST gives printers the expertise they need to offer a vast array of creative services without the need to train employees, hire a new staff, or spend a lot of money to expand the business.”

CST has developed an online system that seamlessly integrates into a trade printer’s existing business process. Customers interface with the printer, but their projects are handed over to CST experts who complete the project for a set fee. The printer receives the completed project and delivers it to the customer and charges an increased rate.  The customer only interacts with the printer.

“It really is a win-win situation,” said Fischer. “CST allows the trade printer to become a one-stop-shop for creative services with no additional investment or increased overhead.  CST offers its services at wholesale prices, allowing the printer plenty of room to upsell the finished product and collect profit.”

CST’s service offerings include: copywriting, resume writing, business plan development, press release generation, book cover design, video production, and public relations services. Printers can pick and choose which services to offer their clientele and what prices to charge.

CST was founded by industry veterans with over 20 years of experience in the fields of publishing, printing and marketing. The CST team is made up of an extensive network of talented content writers, graphic designers, public relations managers, marketing experts, and business consultants. The company is planning to expand its services to office supply stores and mailbox services.
