As business model can be based on contract sales you will guarantee the loyalty of the customer for the period of the contract.

HOW IS THE MARKET DIFFERENT?
Once you are in the market for franchise, you get a lot of proposals. Yet starting a franchise in printer consumables market was always one of the most attractive offers:
- Market is huge (86 Billion EUR a year) and growing;
- Market share of remanufactured cartridges (our key product) is growing all the time and there is still plenty of space for further expansion. Currently only 20% of all the cartridges are reused. Key growth drivers remain lower price and ecological profile;
- Printer consumables are commodity products. All offices print at all times (even during biggest turmoils) and that protects your turnover from decrease. No office can deal without it even in the biggest turmoil so your turnover will be stable;
- High gross margins (65-80%);
- Every company spends 1-3% of their gross profit on printer consumables;
- The market is on the verge of big changes that will bring higher efficiency in servicing the client. The future is MPS (Managed Printing Services).
MPS (Managed Printing Services) is the future of printer consumables market. PRINTERA is already there!
The printing supplies market is now on the verge of big changes. Market is in a need for more efficient services then before. Outsourcing more and more of companies activities are getting more popular as search for efficiency is key driver in current market situation. The situation with printer supplies is no different. According to the international research of „Photizo group“ most of the companies head manager‘s would give away their printer‘s fleet and it‘s managing to the outsourced partners. They would also like to be charged per copy monthly rather than purchasing cartridges on demand, as it is first option is easier to control. Another thing highlighted by research was that renting the printers is more appreciated than owning them.
Forecast of the study says that 35% of the market will go to the MPS providers in 2012, while this number to grow up to 50% in 2013. Customers will have to take care of their printers no longer. The service provider will have to make sure that the printer and copier is always functional and never runs out of the toner cartridge.
Up till now such services were provided just to very big corporate customers and service providers ran into a lot of operational issues. They were never sure how much copies are printed, as they had to physically check the counters on the printers. They were also not sure when will the cartridge end so they were changed too early (which is ineffective) or too late (which is annoying to the customer). Not all printers had the copy counters, so charging per copy was not always possible as well.
PRINTERA offers full range of printer and copier consumables: from OEM and high quality remanufactured cartridges to simple refilling. Our business model is focusing on refilled cartridges as our customers love the benefits that can be described as “Double ECO principle”:
Product is ECOnomical:
- There is no need to produce expensive plastic cartridge, which means that refilled product will always be significantly cheaper than a new cartridge. You do not buy a new car every time you run out of fuel, you just fill it up, right?;
- Price per printed copy with refilled cartridge is few times lower than using the OEM cartridge;
- Remanufactured cartridges have all their moving part changed so the printing quality is equal to OEM cartridges.
Product is ECOlogical:
- You do not have to make a new plastic cartridge if refilling, so you save:
- Oil (up to 3,5 litters is needed to produce plastic for one cartridge);
- Energy;
- CO2 emissions;
- Up to 80% of cartridges are still dumped to the landfills, so a lot of plastic is still up there and it will take 1000 years for it to decompose.
The product allows saving on printing cost and help the nature at the same time, therefore its share in the market grows all the time.
HOW IS OUR CONCEPT DIFFERENT?
PRINTERA offers their franchisees traditional business as well. You can set up a refill shop and start refilling the cartridges yourself. Yet we strongly believe that the future belongs to MPS (Managed Printer Services) actively sold to business entities. Our PRINT NON STOP business model ensures the most efficient sales of MPS already now.
PRINT NON STOP is a – tool that gives you competitive advantage. There is no other software in the market that would be as efficient:
- Revolutionary concept: you can online track how much toner or ink is left in every cartridge used by the customer at any moment;
- System automatically notifies service provider when the cartridge will have to be changed. Resources of the cartridge are used at most efficient way. The cartridge is changed exactly when it has to be, before it gets totally empty, so the printing never stops;
- The sales cost per client is lower as the contract is signed for up to few years period. This increases the customer loyalty and makes it harder for your competitors to get market share. Your sales team can then focus on attracting new clients instead of trying to retain existing ones. Low client management costs also allows you to offer lower price to the customer making your offer even more irresistible;
- Customer can pay per copy instead of purchasing or refilling the cartridge every time it is empty. You are very flexible on charge per copy pricing. Anything of the following can be included: toner, printer service, printer rent, and even paper – client can choose himself. minis principas: internetu matote, kiek miltelių liko kliento spausdintuvo kasetėje;
ACTIVE SALES – a way to the B2B market
- Exploiting benefits of PRINT NON STOP PRINTERA is able to use less resources to retain current clients without any risk to deteriorate efficiency or quality of service. These resources are focused to get new clients and grow sales even faster;
- PRINTERA business model in B2B is based on active sales. We do not wait for the client, we reach to him first. That facilitates sales and brand awareness.
