Are you regularly updating your company letterheads? If not, then you are in big trouble. It is always a good practice to invest in letterhead printing every so often so that your paperwork will always look new and up to date. If you do not do this on a regular basis your paperwork (and hence your company as well) will look old and uncompetitive. As a small guide to you, below are a few suggestions of when you should update your letterheads.
Regular Annual updates
Of course, as a standard practice, you should have regular annual updates for your letterheads. A yearly update is a great way to just keep your letterhead designs in line with the prevailing views and tastes at the time. Culture and the business environment can change quickly and a yearly update is a good way to organize your update schedule to adapt to those changes.
Contact information changes
Besides a regular schedule, you can also set a rule for yourself to invest in a new batch of letterhead printing if important contact information changes. For example, if the email address of the company or its website URL changes, it is always important to update all materials with contact information including of course your letterheads. Doing this thing lessens the chances of people mistakenly contacting the old details letting you lose business opportunities.
Logo change and improvement
Also, it is always inevitable that design changes in the company motif or logo can happen. When this does occur, do not forget to update your letterheads as well. You do not want to continue printing the old logo since the new logo might be part of a whole new revamp of the company image. The logo is very important since it is how your company is identified. It carries with it the pride and respect of the company so it is always a must to have the newest and improved rendition of it printed in your letterheads.
Printing opportunities
Of course, you can also take advantage of printing letterheads when there are certain opportunities. Some printing companies out there may offer sudden discounts in printing especially when they have only a few orders for a significantly long duration. When this happens do not be afraid to swoop in to print your letterheads. Even though you may have several stocks of notepads left, buying those cheap notepads now is a nice investment since you will buy those things anyway. Why not get them now at a discount right?
Public relation issues
Finally, if you had a big public relations incident where the reputation of your company has been tarnished, it might be a good idea to change the letterhead design so that people would not be immediately turned off by what it represents. Business is all about image, so if you lose that image, you must mitigate the effects if you can by adjusting your logo and letterheads so that they still look respectable and responsible.
So keep those situations in mind. They are a great guide on the proper timing of letterhead updates.
