Why Print Your Book in Melbourne? The Advantage of Local Book Printing

While collaborating with a local printer that understands your wants and needs in bringing your work to life on the printed page offers obvious benefits like personable customer service and a smooth logistical process, working with a local Melbourne printer also means that you'll be doing more than you know for the local economy - ultimately putting precious money back into the economic ecosystem that will help your own business or project succeed. 

The Pricelessness of Personal Connection

We all know the frustration that comes with using a service that doesn’t offer local customer support. Whether it be struggling to get on the phone to talk to a real human or leaving an interaction with questions left unanswered, it can be more than a little frustrating to navigate a complicated customer experience with a business on the other side of the world. Printing your book locally is one of the easiest ways to cut through all the noise and get down to business. 

Swap out the other side of the world to around the corner with a local book printer who not only understands your book printing needs - however complex or time-constrained they are - but is also able to work with you through personal consultation, as well as in the same time-zone - so there’s no need to be on the phone at all hours or waiting days for an email reply. 

The value of great local customer service is not to be underestimated. Whether you’re printing one or two books or a whole stock room full of them, being able to rely on your book printing service for both phenomenal printing and great customer service takes the ease out of the process. You can even chat in person with your printing professional about your printing needs, helping you to build a communicative relationship - as well as expertly printing your potential on the first go.

The Ease and Speed of Local Printing

Once you’ve sent your work to the printer, the last thing you’ll want to do is wait around for it to finally come back to you. This is especially frustrating if you need to request changes, fix mistakes, or try out different paper types. No one likes to miss a deadline!

The benefit of printing your book locally in Melbourne is cutting out all the unnecessary waste of waiting times - including test runs arriving, changes being amended, and the final product being delivered into your hands. Even if you’re situated in other regions around Victoria - or even other areas around Australia - the time it takes between the printing process in Melbourne and the delivery to your front door is better than you’ll get if you print your work overseas. This is especially important to note if you are printing different copies or tests. One overseas delivery taking a while to arrive is a headache; several overseas deliveries taking a while is a migraine you can’t afford. 

Why Supporting Local Businesses Benefits Your Own

Whether you’re printing a book for your small business, large company or self-published project, supporting a local printing business won’t just benefit the printer you choose, but will also support the local economy which will in turn support your own business.

Choosing to put your cash where your community is is one of not only the easiest but also the most effective ways to uplift the local economy - and, subsequently, the national one. Recent modelling suggests that redirecting just $100 of your existing budget towards local products and services will benefit the national economy with a $16 billion lift in nominal GDP and around 38,000 new jobs. Your money is powerful, and where you choose to put it is just as so.

Plus, with growing insecurities of international economies and unstable factors like tariffs affecting the price of overseas business, it can also be a whole lot safer and cheaper to keep your business local. Overseas shipping prices are continuously increasing, making delivering packages internationally to or from Australia more expensive. Save some dollars on the shipping fees - as well as your precious time - by choosing a local printer that will cut the costs for you. 

Connecting with a local book printing service in Melbourne for your printing needs is not only one of the cheapest, fastest, easiest and most pleasant ways to bring your printed work to life, but it will contribute to a healthy local economy that will in turn support our national one. Supporting the local economy has never been easier.
