Customers frequently search for the lowest price they can find when looking for the greatest deal on a CD or DVD duplication project, which is totally understandable. You’ve undoubtedly already spent a significant amount of money on recording, mastering, and perhaps even graphic design at this stage of the production process. You may be trying to save as much money as you can after paying for everything. However, make sure you are comparing like with like when you are analyzing quotes from several businesses.

There is frequently a good explanation for a quote that is significantly lower than the rest of the competition: it is lacking one or more of the typical components that better companies provide. A smart strategy to get your foot in the door is to advertise the lowest pricing.

Here are some typical products that might not be included in your cheap price quote if you locate a business providing a startlingly low pricing:

QUALITY

Our printing is unparalleled. No matter the quantity, all projects (sleeves, digipaks, wallets) that will be printed on our cardstock will be offset printed. Other businesses don’t always operate in this manner. They’ll use low-cost stock and digital printing. Your final product’s quality will therefore degrade.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

The cost of the project is undoubtedly lower with one of our rivals. Do you, however, have a real support system from beginning to end? Typically, no. Some other businesses just use digital technology. The project just showed up at your door after you uploaded your artistic and musical files. What if the art has a mistake or the audio master is flawed? There is no one you can call. A sales representative is given to you by Atlantadisc when you manage a project. They serve as your point of contact throughout. They guarantee that your job is completed correctly and on schedule.

COMMON PRODUCTION TIMES

A CD or DVD duplication project should typically be completed in no more than two weeks (10 business days). The production times at some places with the lowest prices may be 15-20 business days longer than typical. Once more, the strategy is to get you in with the low quoted price then raising it when you require a quicker turnaround.

PROOFING / FILE QUALITY CHECK (FQC)

We take the effort to ensure that your art files are setup appropriately, which is one of the reasons our quality is better than everyone else’s. We notify you immediately if there is a mistake, such as poor-quality photographs or missing fonts, and provide you the option of submitting new artwork. Before printing, you also receive a digital proof of your artwork. Perhaps you neglected to give your designer or engineer credit. We acknowledge that things happen. The additional proofreading stage saves you a ton of hassle, therefore we provide it at no extra charge.

BARCODE

Are you going to offer your project in a shop? That package must have a barcode attached to it. We’re willing to include a barcode without charging extra.

You’ve likely noticed the pattern at this point: 1) promote pricing that are lower than the competition to entice clients, 2) exclude important elements that the majority of customers would need, 3) increase the price when they request these items, and 4) typically offer a lower quality product AND customer service.

Every CD/DVD duplication business will aggressively promote their lowest pricing, but make sure such budget-friendly bundles come with everything you require.
