Curbing Price Quote Chaos —Morgan

Printers Lower Their Prices: In a Quick Poll in March, we asked, “When bidding a print job to several suppliers, how often do you ask your printers to lower their quoted prices?” Thirty-three percent of print buyers said, “Almost never. If we are bidding a job to several suppliers, they should give us their best price the first time. Unless we suspect that a printer has made a mistake with the estimate, we don’t ask them to requote or to lower their price. It’s not fair to request that of our print suppliers.”
