PRINTOFIA
"Where papers meet their sponsors". OUR AIM IS TO PROVIDE FREE PRINTING MATERIALS (NOTES, BOOKS, PAPERS ETC) TO THE COLLEGE STUDENTS AND CAN BE EXTENDED TO WIDER SECTION OF THE SOCIETY.
The problem PRINTOFIA solves
BEFORE GOING TO THE SOLUTION LET US FIRST SEE THE PROBLEMS FACED:-
- ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES DUE TO USAGE OF EXCESS PAPER BY CUTTING TREES FOR MAKING PAMPHLETS FOR ADVERTISEMENT BY COMPANIES.
- MONETARY ISSUES FACED BY STUDENTS UNREACHABILITY PROBLEMS FACED BY COMPANIES. LACK OF MARKETING OF EXCELLENT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES BY LOCAL OR EMERGING COMPANIES OR STARTUP DUE TO LESS REVENUE AND FUNDS
OUR SOLUTION ---project PRINTOFIA (TRACK- OPEN INNOVATION)
THE POTENTIAL EMERGING COMPANIES, STARTUPS, AND LOCAL MARKETS CAN REGISTER THEMSELVES ON THE WEBSITE FOR SPONSORSHIPS. THE PRINTING MARKET SHOPS WILL ALSO REGISTER TO PROVIDE FREE PRINTING SERVICE TO THE STUDENTS. IN RETURN THE COMPANIES ADVERTISEMENT AND LOGO AND BE PRINTED ON THE FRONTAL OR CORNER SIDES OF THE PAGE WITHOUT DISTURBING THE CONTENT AREA. IN THIS WAY THE STUDENTS CAN AVAIL FREE PRINTING SERVICE AND COMPANIES CAN ALSO DO THEIR ADVERTISEMENTS AT MINIMAL COSTS.
ADVANTAGES TO THE COMPANIES:-
THE COMPANIES CAN HAVE A GREATER REACH AND EXCELLENT MARKETING, AS YOUTH ARE MAINLY FOUND IN SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES WHO REQUIRE THE MAXIMUM PRINTING SERVICE. THIS WOULD BE BOON FOR THE LOCAL MARKETS. REDUCE THE MARKETING EXPENDITURE AND INCREASE THE PROFIT DUE TO WIDER REACH.
ADVANTAGES TO THE STUDENTS:-
WILL SOLVE THEIR MONETARY ISSUES. MAKE THEIR STUDY MORE INTERESTING WITH THE FRESH SMELL OF PAGES OF PRINTED BOOKS AND NOTES. MAKE THEM AWARE OF DIFFERENT PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AVAILABLE. FREE ACCESS TO PRINTING SERVICE.
