Ideas Save $33,000 per year

Its all about ideas. One project comes to mind that ideas were able to save a total in excess of $30,000 per year! This is about 40% of the total job. What were these ideas? Below is a list:


1) Use bleed tabs instead of heavy paper tabs that extend past the edge of the book = $10,000 per year savings
2) Mail in a Polywrap instead of a Tyvek envelope = $2,500 savings per year.
3) Special negotiated international mailing rate = $15,000 savings per year + $1,300 shipping savings = $18,000 savings per year
4) Paper switch - changed to a lighter weight paper that cost a little more, but saved money on postage. Net savings = $4,200 per year

Total idea savings = $33,000 per year.

Yes, there are ways to save money on your projects as well.
