Customer Success Story:

Kings Active Foundation is a charity dedicated to helping children become more active through sport and play. They run activity camps, training programs, and consultancy services that support youth development.

As an organisation that relies on clear and effective communication to engage with parents and communities, print plays a crucial role in their marketing strategy. While digital communication is essential, print materials provide an alternative way to connect with their audience, ensuring important messages don’t get lost in crowded email inboxes.

Over the past year, Kings Active Foundation has partnered with B&B Press to manage their print and mailing needs, streamlining their processes and improving efficiency.

Their Challenge

Before working with B&B Press, Kings Active Foundation faced several challenges with their printing needs. They had to contact multiple print providers for different projects, which was time-consuming and inefficient. Some suppliers acted as brokers, which extended the process even further. They needed a partner that could handle both large print jobs and smaller, quick-turnaround projects without excessive costs. Managing mailing logistics was complex, especially when unexpected issues arose. 

Our Solution

Kings Active Foundation connected with B&B Press through an existing professional relationship. After discussions with their Operations team, they saw the potential benefits of consolidating their print projects under one reliable provider. B&B Press provided a single point of contact for all printing and mailing needs, reducing the time spent coordinating with multiple suppliers. They supported both large-scale and smaller, ad-hoc print jobs, ensuring cost efficiency and flexibility. The print management services included design, printing, and fulfillment for key marketing materials, such as 57,000 flyers and 10,000 print mailings. Reliable communication and problem-solving were also key aspects of the partnership, including proactive support.

Kings Active Foundation is also committed to making their operations more sustainable, and they value suppliers who align with this goal. By choosing B&B Press, they benefit from sustainable printing practices, supporting their broader commitment to responsible operations.

The Results

Since partnering with B&B Press, Kings Active Foundation has experienced several benefits. They have achieved cost savings through competitive quotes that consistently beat other suppliers. Efficiency has improved, as familiarity with past projects allows for smoother and faster execution of new jobs. Having a dedicated local provider has led to better turnaround times, enabling urgent projects to be completed quickly. The use of print has also strengthened their marketing impact, helping them reach parents in ways that digital marketing alone cannot achieve.
