I want to share something with you. It might save you thousands on your marketing campaigns.
It’s all about thinking differently, thinking beyond borders.
Recently, I launched a marketing campaign in the U.S. The plan? Spread the word with vinyl stickers.
So, I ordered 1,000 stickers from a publisher in Ohio.
The cost? $183 total.
That included Ohio state tax and $14 for shipping. I had the stickers sent to a friend in Cleveland to put up around the city.
Now, here’s the twist. I live in Istanbul.
At first, I thought ordering from Ohio was the smart move.
I didn’t even think about printing and shipping from Turkey.
The results of the campaign? That’s a story for another day. But what I learned after is the real gem. 💎
A few days later, curiosity got the best of me. I started wondering.
How much would it cost to print those same stickers here in Istanbul?
So, I checked. To my surprise, I found a local printer. They offered 1,000 stickers for just 400 TRY or $11.89.
And that price included delivery to my home. Shipping them to Ohio?
Surprisingly cheap. Only $3 without tracking, or $10 with tracking.
All handled by the Turkish postal service (PTT).
Even with some price differences, the savings were crystal clear. Now, imagine this.
A business spends $5,000 on vinyl stickers.
What if they printed them in a country like Turkey?
Even conservatively, they could save about 80%. Instead of spending $5,000, they might spend just $1,000.
That’s a $4,000 savings. Now, scale that up. This could be a multi-million dollar idea. 💰
This isn’t something you hear about every day. It’s a small case study with huge potential.
It’s a reminder to think globally. Many international printing centers have English websites.
They handle orders in English. And they can help you slash your marketing costs.
Imagine this: You have an LLC in the US and a website that collects orders from US businesses.
You handle their printing needs by partnering with suppliers in Turkey or another cost-effective country. The result? You could potentially cut their printing costs by 80% or more.
This model doesn’t just save money, it opens up a whole new business opportunity.
You’re offering massive savings while creating a scalable, profitable venture. This could be the key to unlocking that multi-million dollar idea. 💰
