If your annual leak is meaningfully larger than $899 — this tends to be a straightforward decision.

These printers don't sell to the public. That's the point.

Trade printers keep costs low by selling exclusively through brokers — no showrooms, no direct sales teams. They don't advertise. You can't find them on Google. You can't call them directly.

Advantage Marketing's network of 80+ trade printers is only accessible through a broker relationship. That's where the 10–25% savings come from — and why your team can't replicate this by going direct.

The broker advantage

We pre-pay our printers — that's how we secure priority production lanes and guarantee your turnaround times. Every job is competitively bid across the network so you always get the best available price for that specific job type.

Four sources. One number. One fix.

01 — Rush Surcharges

Urgency adds 20–30% to every expedited job.

Without priority production lanes, tight deadlines become expensive penalties that compound all year.

02 — Reprint Costs

Errors and changing requirements force reprints that rarely get fully tracked.

You pay twice — once for the fix, once in lost time.

03 — Fragmented Shipping

Multiple vendors mean multiple shipping invoices with zero leverage.

Costs stack up with no consolidated view across the total.

04 — Staff Hours

Chasing quotes, proofs, and vendors burns fully-loaded staff hours.

That time could be spent on revenue or operations instead.

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 manager from Advantage Marketing (50 years in print, run by Terry Minke) personally routes every job, manages proofs, and stands behind accuracy and timelines. Real human accountability — not a ticket system.

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.

The Right Specialist for Every Job

Matched by specs, job type, and timeline

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.

How does payment work for print orders?

Print orders are paid upfront before production begins — this is how your manager secures priority lanes with the printer network and guarantees your turnaround times. Payment is via credit card, PayPal, Venmo, or bank ACH. You approve the quote first, then payment is collected before the job goes to press.

How does competitive bidding work?

Every job is routed by your manager across the Advantage Marketing network of 80+ specialist printers — 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. Rush jobs escalated immediately.

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 prints. 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 ongoing fees after the $899?

None. No monthly fees, no retainers, no subscriptions. Ever. 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 — the math is clear. If you're unsure, book a 15-minute call before committing anything.
