What is fragmented print and promo actually costing your operation?

Four cost categories. Your numbers. The total is what belongs on your P&L — not buried across four vendor invoices with no consolidated view.

Enter your numbers above. The total is what fragmented print and promo is actually costing your operation — not what you think you're spending.

$76k+

Recovered by one client in a single year. Documented result from Advantage Marketing's network — not a projection.

See If This Is a Fit — $899

Four sources. One number. One fix.

01 — Rush Surcharges

Urgency has a price tag that never shows up in the budget.

Every expedited job adds 20–30% to the invoice. Without priority production lanes, every tight deadline becomes a cost penalty — compounding across the year.

02 — Reprint Costs

Compliance errors and proof mistakes cost twice — once to fix, once in lost time.

State-specific label requirements change. When a job comes back wrong, the reprint cost disappears into the noise — rarely tracked, rarely recovered.

03 — Fragmented Shipping

Four vendors means four shipping invoices with no consolidated leverage.

Labels from one supplier. Merch from another. Signage from a third. No consolidation means no leverage — and shipping costs stack across the total with no visibility.

04 — Staff Hours

Someone is managing print. That time has a fully-loaded cost.

Chasing proofs, coordinating vendors, tracking shipments, correcting errors. Every hour spent on print admin is an hour not spent on revenue, operations, or growth.

One manager. Every job. Competitively bid. You approve — nothing else.

Not a platform. Not a marketplace. A dedicated human being assigned to your account who handles every print and promo job from brief to delivery.

One-Time Setup — $899

Not a subscription. Not a retainer. $899 gets a dedicated manager assigned immediately. After that, you pay only for jobs you approve. Nothing automatic. Ever.

Your Manager Is Assigned

A dedicated account manager from Advantage Marketing — 50 years in print, direct experience with state-specific cannabis compliance requirements. Compliance accuracy is their responsibility on every job. Not yours.

Every Job Competitively Bid

Labels, packaging, signage, merch, events — every job is competitively bid across 80+ specialist printers. Quotes in 4–8 hours. Rush jobs escalated immediately. Consolidated shipping through one network — no more four separate invoices.

You Approve. They Execute.

You review the quote. You approve the proof. Your manager handles production, revisions, and delivery from there. Pay only for what you approve. The coordination overhead is eliminated.

This isn't for every cannabis operation.

If your print and promo procurement is running cleanly — no rush surcharges, no reprint costs, no fragmented shipping, no staff hours lost to vendor coordination — this probably isn't for you. If the calculator showed a number worth acting on, it might be worth a conversation.

The questions that matter.

What exactly does the $899 cover?

Account setup and the personal assignment of a dedicated manager from Advantage Marketing — 50 years in print and graphics, responsible for every job you submit. After that, you pay only for the orders you approve. Nothing is ever charged automatically.

Does your network handle state-specific cannabis compliance?

Yes. Every legal state has its own label and packaging requirements — warning language, font sizing, symbols, QR codes, child-resistant specs, batch-specific details. Advantage Marketing's network of 80+ vetted printers has direct experience across these requirements. Your manager is accountable for compliance accuracy on every job.

How does competitive bidding actually work?

Every job is routed by your manager across the Advantage Marketing network. Multiple specialist printers are matched by specs, equipment, location, and timeline — you get the right price for each specific job type. Standard quotes back in 4–8 business hours.

What kinds of jobs can be handled?

Everything — compliance labels, packaging inserts, dispensary signage, branded merch, loyalty materials, event banners, promotional items. Every job type. One manager. All of it.

Who retains approval authority?

You do. You approve every quote before production starts. You review every proof before anything is printed. Your manager handles everything between your brief and your approval. The decisions stay yours. The overhead doesn't.

What if a job comes back with an error?

Your manager is accountable for it. Advantage Marketing's standard — held for 50 years — is that if something is off, it gets fixed. You have a person responsible for your outcome, not a support ticket.

Are there any ongoing fees?

None. No monthly fees, no retainers, no subscriptions. $899 once, then only for the jobs you approve — paid directly through the fulfillment partner. That's the entire cost structure.

How do I verify the ROI is there?

The calculator above gives you the number. If your annual P&L impact is meaningfully larger than $899 — and for most operators spending $5k+/month it is — the math is clear. If you're unsure, book a 15-minute call before committing anything.
