Printers and signage companies in Reading

What the phone looks like for a Reading print company

Reading and the wider Berkshire has a population of around 350,000, built on technology, professional services and some of the most expensive property outside London. That produces a lot of phone calls, and for a print company working across Caversham, Earley and Tilehurst most of them arrive at the exact moment nobody can pick up.

Print is bought on deadline, so a customer who cannot reach you rings the next printer immediately.

Callwise answers on your own 0118 number. Customers ring the number they already have, it is answered on the first ring by something that sounds like a person, and the job is booked into your diary before the caller has thought about trying anybody else.

Questions

Reading print companies ask us

Do we keep our 0118 number?

Yes. Your existing 0118 number stays exactly as it is and keeps ringing your phones. Calls only reach the assistant when nobody picks up, or at the hours you choose, so nothing about how Reading customers reach you changes.

Do you work with print companies outside Reading?

Yes. There is nothing local about how it works, so Reading and everywhere across Berkshire is covered the same way, along with the rest of the UK. The local part is your number and your customers, and both stay yours.

Our factory is loud. Is that the issue?

Largely, yes. Nobody hears a phone next to a press or a plotter, and print enquiries are deadline driven and go elsewhere within minutes.

Can it quote?

From your standard price list for standard items, and it takes the specification for anything bespoke.

Will it handle artwork questions?

It gives your file requirements, which saves the back and forth that delays half your jobs.

Hear it answer, then decide

Ring it and ask what a Reading customer would ask. It is the same assistant your callers would get, so if it does not convince you on the phone it will not convince them either.
