Local print companies benefit from big business
The shop local movement isn’t just about creating sustainable food economies. It’s about creating partnerships among businesses in the local community, of which print companies in Red Deer are a large part. More Central Alberta businesses are shunning the large, commercial printers in Calgary and Edmonton in favour of local print companies, owned and operated by Red Deer residents. The increased economic activity has meant that local printers can bring in big city technology while offering the friendly, small town service people in Central Alberta appreciate.
Choosing a local print company creates a sustainable economy and builds relationships in the community. Particularly in the printing industry, where most customers come through the front door based on word-of-mouth recommendations, doing business locally promotes quality. Image and reputation can be fragile in a smaller community, which illustrates the fact that companies doing business with their neighbours must strive for excellence in everything they do.
The City of Red Deer reports that rapid expansion along the Calgary/Edmonton QE2 corridor has brought unprecedented growth in the number of businesses and franchises in the city, with future growth projected to be approximately 2.34 per cent in the next 20 years – good news for people looking to do business in Central Alberta.
Print companies in Red Deer are aware of this, and as such are invested in the community at a deeper level. Many sponsor minor sports days, provide banner printing for community events at no charge and donate other services to non-profit. Local participation by a local company builds loyalty and ultimately, a larger customer base.
