Magazine Publishing that comes together

This independent publishing company with multiple titles and regional scope have built a successful business by managing all aspects of their operation very closely. As a publisher their choice of print suppliers is crucial to their success. All variables managed by their printer — reproduction quality, binding and distribution — must come together to produce the best product for their readers and advertisers. 

And they have to be able to grow with their print vendor.  In 2007, they moved their printing to Dollco. They can add pages, increase circulation or add a new title without overwhelming Dollco’s production capabilities, or staff. Dollco’s workflow is geared to magazines so all services including data management or perfect binding are provided internally. In the past four years, this publisher has added four titles to its roster. 

But service is the main reason they stay at Dollco. With multiple deadlines, they need customer service that is an extension of their own office, planning ahead and reacting quickly. Dollco customer service understands the critical factors of magazine production the way they do. In the publisher's words, “Sometimes we’re late delivering files and they still turn it around on time. If they have an issue or I do, they fix it. I have nothing but praise for the company.”

This publisher wants a long-term relationship with his printer, whom he acknowledges is an essential business resource. He lauds the contract. It gives him peace of mind, while he is busy running his business. As he says, “A contract guarantees stability in pricing, turnaround, and reliability. I have an out clause if I’m not happy.”

Dollco’s Integrated Print Solutions for Magazine Publishers puts together expertise and processes that provide flexibility, trusted advice and support for your growth.
