BCT and the Economy
Why does a BCT generally continue to grow when the rest of
the economy is in a downturn? There are a number of factors.
The population and the number of businesses in general continue
to grow. There is constant change with regard to zip codes, area codes,
company titles, and people changing employers, SO THE DEMAND CONTINUES
TO GROW. Business cards are a low-cost item and seldom part of “business
cost reduction” program.
Our product mix is also changing and increasing the overall
revenue. There was a time when our primary customer was the “quick
printer.” The quick printer would print the stationery and send
us the business cards. In today’s marketplace, we see more and
more non-printing businesses such as print brokers, large warehouse
type office supply companies, and postal centers. Since these businesses
don’t have printing
presses, BCT produces the stationery, rubber stamps, and labels. Additionally,
the trade publication called Business Forms, Labels and Systems (known
as the publication for distributors of printed products) says that this
segment of the industry (outsourcing) is growing in number by 15% to
20% a year.
