Printing Industries has launched a new business services and information website www.betterbusiness.net.au
providing a one-stop centre for cost cutting services and information members can use to improve their bottom line.
Printing Industries National Director, Communications and Marketing, Joe Kowalewski, said the website, a mini site within the Association’s existing www.printnet.com.au, replaces the previous third party managed printers buying group.
“We have taken heed of feedback on issues and the services our members value and need and made changes accordingly – beginning with easier access,” he said.
“From our member’s perspective, dual logins are gone and they can access exclusive deals and information with their existing membership logins. From our perspective, we control the site and can be far more dynamic and up-to-date with services and related information.
“This includes the use of webinars, a program we began earlier this year, which will see webinar content added to relevant service and information areas in the Better Business site.
“Our goal is not only to provide great cost saving deals, but to complement this with webinars, services and knowledge that is readily accessible and useful for our members to use across a range of areas in their business.”
Printing Industries General Manager, Member Services and State Manager SA/NT, Peter Mansfield, who has taken on the role of managing service provider relationships, said several new services had been added to meet the expectations and needs of members, and several less popular ones dropped.
“Our program of ongoing review has resulted in the introduction of a significant new range of cost saving services based on the expressed needs of our members including marketing, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), business appraisal and sales, finance, corporate health insurance, credit management and EFTPOS services,” he said.
“We have expanded our energy cost service to cover the whole energy efficiency area, including equipment energy usage monitoring focused on providing members with longer-term and sustainable cost benefits.
“Succession planning is a high priority for many companies, so we have formed a relationship with Ascent Partners to provide services and advice in the business transition area so that they can forward plan, know their options and be realistic about what can be achieved.”
Previous services retained in Better Business include software, Marsh insurance solutions; Media Super superannuation; Sustainable Green Print (SGP) environmental certification; discounted VW vehicle purchasing; Employers Mutual (NSW & SA only) specialist workers compensation services; Printing Industries Musculoskeletal Injury prevention and management resources.
Mr Mansfield said he welcomed any new ideas from members for new services and can be contacted via peterm@printnet.com.au
