Price isn’t the only driver of satisfaction. While it matters for buyers of print products, they care about quality, as well. In fact, quality and affordability aren’t mutually exclusive.

Additionally, representing quality every time leads to cost savings.

Founder and Owner Patric Coldewey joined this episode of Print Precision to share his thoughts on quality and its fiscal impact,“From my experience, quality is the cheapest thing you can do. High-quality every time, all the time. Thinking everyone wants a cheap sign isn’t true,” Coldewey said.Printers are more advanced than ever, and the right equipment is what turns out quality every time. That’s how to win the long game, according to Coldewey.“The goodwill that quality builds equals return business. The problem is thinking it’s ‘good enough’ for the application. That’s not a formula that’s working right now,” Coldewey noted.

A mentality of the output being average isn’t going to lead to success. After all, most people don’t remember average. They do remember high-quality. Many print companies believe that the only way to cut costs is by diminishing the quality. Coldewey said it’s a fallacy and that his customers that are all-in on quality are reaping the benefits.

The commitment to quality in every job drives revenue generation and offsets other costs. First, companies are more likely to retain customers and get repeat business. Second, with happy customers and word of mouth, marketing costs can be more impactful. After all, if an organization invests ad dollars to convert a customer who receives a sub-par product, all that money will be for naught.

Meeting customer expectations includes many elements, but quality is at the top, and there’s no substitute for it.

Distressed sales are 2% of the housing market, and that should change how contractors plan 2027

Distressed sales are 2% of the housing market, and that should change how contractors plan 2027

Existing home sales fell to 3.98 million in August, but distressed sales remain at just 2% of transactions with prices still rising, signaling an affordability freeze rather than a credit crisis. Residential builders and contractors should plan 2027 capacity around intact homeowner equity, higher inventory creating pre-sale work demand, and regional variations in turnover rather than cutting headcount for a financial downturn.

  • 01Distressed sales at 2% of market (versus roughly one-third during 2008) mean no forced-seller wave or equity destruction, leaving HELOC and cash-out renovation funding intact for contractors
  • 02Supply at 4.9 months and 5.9% year-over-year growth forces sellers to fund pre-sale work on roofs, HVAC, kitchens, and inspections to compete, generating small-ticket trade demand despite lower transaction volume
  • 03Year-to-date sales up 1.6% with 27% all-cash buyers and 15% investor purchases plus strong August wage growth (3.1%) and employment (643,000 jobs since January) support demand in rate-insensitive buyer segments
