Earlham College Case Study
Situation:
Earlham College, based in Richmond, Indiania, is among the nation’s academically strongest liberal arts colleges. To promote its programs and departments, the College produces over 30 brochures each year.
Over the past 10 years, the College’s marketing evolved from simple, single-color pieces to engaging four-color brochures. As the marketing materials became more sophisticated, Earlham needed a print partner who could deliver:
- consistency across dozens of brochures and materials;
- quality that Earlham could stand up to Earlham’s reputation;
- and attentive and responsive customer service …
- All at a price that the independent College could afford.
Challenge:
Earlham struggled to find a local printer who could meet their expectations of quality, turnaround time and customer service.
Solution:
Earlham found the trifecta of quality, turnaround and service at Oregon Printing – 53 miles away, in Dayton, Ohio.
Despite the distance, Oregon is able to deliver the quality and quick work that Earlham requires. And, even with shipping and courier costs included, Oregon is able to beat the local printers’ prices.
How is that possible?
- Oregon offers electronic order submission for both large and small jobs – so Earlham can easily upload files and project details.
- Oregon makes it a priority to know their clients’ jobs… Someone at Oregon intimately understands Earlham’s work, and is able to identify potential problems.
- And, Oregon’s workflow includes six checkpoints where problems can be identified and addressed.
- Quick, quality equipment also helps Oregon to reduce costs – and maintain tight timelines.
