Well, why not?

Wall CoveringsLast Mile Delivery” is defined as moving goods from a specified location to the final delivery destination.  The final destination is typically a personal residence!

Yes, you guessed it!  More and more Wide-Format printing companies invest their time and money producing on-demand, customized, and personalized products direct-to-consumers.

Routinely, printing companies provide branded storefronts for their business clients (some charge a set-up fee and a monthly fee), while others offer this service FREE to obtain new business while guaranteeing customer retention; win-win!

storefrontSnapshot:  Storefronts are customized from the ground up; each storefront is uniquely built and designed to match the client’s specifications, enabling PSPs to quickly and easily print-on-demand items, pre-printed inventory (i.e., brochures, presentation folders, business cards, promotional products, etc.)  Streamlining the production and distribution saves time, money and offers consistent end-products.

So, I’m thinking – you should see your offset, small-format, and wide-format printing as a hybrid operation -- (Self-Branded Storefront)?  You might even have hybrid printing equipment sitting on your floor – serving two different but significant purposes (e.g., automobiles, hybrid retail, and even hybrid foods)

The downside?:  Sorry, I can’t think of any!
