Quotes – should I take the lowest bidder?
You’re on a tight budget and you’re tempted to make your CD/DVD duplicating decision based on the lowest quote. Stop right here: you may be taking a big risk. The lowest quote may be the best – after all, good companies know how to compete in the marketplace or they wouldn’t be around. But you want to know how to pick them out of the crowd. So what should you consider when looking at your quotes?
There are several critical points to consider for your CD or DVD duplication project. How important is your project? Do you want your disks to play every time for your clients, fans or customers? Is it important that the printing and graphics on your disk and packaging look professional? What about delivery times – do you want a guarantee that your project will arrive on time?
Cost is important and after considering all the factors for your project you may decide to go with the company offering the lowest quote, but you’ll be glad you considered the other factors too.
Quality of the CD/DVD disks
Another consideration is disk quality. If you want your CDs or DVDs to play again and again for your clients, fans or customers, you want your content on a good quality disk. After all, one unhappy disk user can influence a lot of other people – and it won’t be pretty.
What does the company say about its disk quality? Even if they say they use industry-standard disks, wouldn’t it be great to get disks of even higher quality? For example, MediaXpress.com uses disks with top shelf quality, exceeding the highest industry standards. When you find this kind of quality, you know your content will last a long time.
