“Physical hoardings and pamphlets are expensive”

Its true print can never be dead completely but it’s also a fact at the same time that it’s a cost hog. Scaling it back isn’t a big deal if you have decided to get rid of those heavy expenses of print work. You just need to make sure that you do not print unless it’s extremely required, transition to a digital invoice and bill payment system, fill all important information or formalities on your computer instead of a file cabinet and you would not just be able to reduce some of the most common recurring business costs but things would also become more accessible, less time taking and easy to handle. So replace print with electronic and make use of relatively inexpensive email campaigns instead of expensive direct mailers, provide PDF versions of catalogs and brochures and reduce print runs. That’s it!
