Case Study
Driving cost savings through innovation
A major airline sought to extend a program's budget in a way that would maintain design integrity while
reducing costs for the reinvestment of savings into additional marketing campaigns.
Continuum examined the characteristics of the control and vetted the previously quoted cost structure
through their supply chain. The result realized an immediate 12% net procurement savings without changing
anything.
Additionally, our on-site team engineered a series of innovations that included simple yet methodical
modifications to the control, which reduced costs without compromising the integrity of the design.
- Page count reduction eliminated one of the signatures
- Paper weight reduction without compromising perceived value
- Bindery simplification that simulated existing format but significantly reduced manufacturing costs and
cycles, therefore, increasing speed to market
Continuum achieved a 19.25% savings on this program. As a result, the modifications will deliver an annual
projected savings of almost $1 million.
Case Study
Better utilization of people and spend
At a high-end outdoor retailer's company, individual departments were responsible for their area's print
and secondary packaging procurement and management. As the retailer grew, this decentralized approach led to
several challenges.
- Staff unable to focus on core strengths
- Over-reliance on suppliers
- Lack of control and visibility on company-wide print and packaging spend
- Inconsistent processes and lack of new design/format ideation coming into company
- Lack of time and specific expertise to source effectively
Upon engagement, Continuum conducted an assessment and then developed a tailored print management solution
to address the company-wide print and packaging spend.
- A centralized, dedicated team comprised of off-site and on-site resources supporting stakeholders within
each business segment
- A transparent, open-book relationship with contractually-guaranteed procurement savings
- Access to marketing production experts with new ideation and value engineering
- Staff can focus on core competencies and reduce time to market
