Importance of a good supplier
Yesterday we had the pleasure of being taken through the print presses of one of our suppliers to investigate what goes on behind the scenes and to do a press check. We have only started recently sending our work there and to be honest we have only good things to say about our suppliers with never really any issues and if so handled accordingly, fast turn around and fantastic service. Then it got me thinking finding a good and reliable supplier is as important as the business itself especially when starting up (trust me).
So what makes for a good supplier?
Delivers on promises & on time
Handles issues or concerns
Takes the time to look after you
Is going to be around in the next 5 years
Consistent and reliable
The importance of having a good supplier not only eases your mind but also has a roll on affect to that of your clients, with them now being able to see you as a reliable source. When you find that your supplier isn't meeting the above criteria it can make for an unsteady relationship and reflect poorly on your own business. Keeping a good network of suppliers and contacts I have found is crucial to the quality, reputation and reliability of any business.
So where and how do I find a good supplier?
Referrals and previous experiences
Industry related research
Take into consideration cost + quality
Research into competitors suppliers
Trial your supplier with smaller jobs with less risk before giving them larger ones
