Fort Collins Copier: Choosing a Dealer

Selecting a copier dealer in Fort Collins might not be the first thing that pops into your mind when you are shopping around for a copy machine. It would be a mistake to overlook the potential impact that a dealer can have on your business operations. The effects of the decision you make today might live with you many years after the deal is closed.

How do you know which company will provide you with respectful, attentive and courteous service?

• Do your research. Many dealers have reputations, but you can only find out by asking.

• Make sure your dealer is willing to communicate openly. If they are not willing to do it today, chances are they will not change in the future.

• Assess their relationship with a manufacturer. There might be both advantages and drawbacks.

Fort Collins dealers might use a variety of talking points. If you have time to talk to at least a few of them, you will quickly become familiar with their jargon. Copier dealers in Fort Collins may include Lewan, Xerox, Pahoda and All Copy.

Do You Feel Like a Slave in Your Copier Lease?

Don`t Be a Slave to Your Copier Lease!

Don`t Be a Slave to Your Copier Lease!

Do you have a 5 year lease on your copier here in Fort Collins and wish you had not signed the lease at all?  Unfortunately, you are not alone in this feeling, but there are still some basic steps you can take if you are in this position.  First, you will need to identify WHY you are in this position in the first place.  Is it that you overbought initially, the copier is always broke, or you started a business or got the copier when business was booming and now it is not?

Here are some basic steps you can take to lighten the load this copier is placing on you.

If you overbought –  Check and see if your church, social clubs, or friends in industries like Real Estate could use some volume and pay a low amount for the use of the copier in Fort Collins.  If you signed up for too many pages, you are not using these pages anyway, you may as well get something.

If you went out of business or downsized — See if the copier company or leasing company will allow you to sublease the equipment.  Again, you will lose money, just not as much.

If it is a piece of crap — This one gives you the most leverage as you can go to the copier leasing company (the people who paid your copier company cash) and tell them that your copier company can´t seem to fix the copier and you are having constant issues.  They will want a record they can compare with your copier company, so if you are not keeping track of service calls, start doing so or contact your copier company in Fort Collins for help.

If You’re a New Business, Don’t Let Copiers Keep you From Getting Off The Ground

If you're trying to get your business off the ground, copiers help or hurt!

If you're trying to get your Fort Collins business off the ground, copiers help or hurt!

There are a lot of expenses that go into your small business in Fort Collins.   One of the necessary expenses is your print and copier needs.   Small business owners who negotiate successfully on every other supply often seem to be the ones who end up over-paying on their Fort Collins copier bills.   This is unfortunate as most businesses I deal with are usually paying at least 20% more on their current copier, color copier, and print budget than they actually need to!   Some of this is due to ignorance.   Some is due to being oversold by a copier rep (see the previous article!).   And some is due to wasteful office practices.

Copier budgets (if managed frugally and efficiently) can help you make sure your resources are being used wisely.   Instead of paying for features and copies your not using (a common mistake!), you’ll know that the $1,000 you saved on finishing options can be replaced by a $15 dollar stapler and a three hole punch!   In a compeditive business environment, monthly and up-front savings can be the difference between getting your Fort Collins business off the ground, or having to fold.

For tips, advice, and print analysis, and copier comparison give me a call for a solution that is tailored to your business needs in Fort Collins.
