Welcome to Bill Ruesch Print Broker on line.

Do you need to know more about your printing choices?
Maybe you don't quite know where to turn for help. That's where we come in. A thorough understanding of printing and the best methods to get the job done often requires relationships with many different printers and mailing services. We take the burden and confusion off our customers shoulders by applying nearly four decades of well earned wisdom to each printing project. The bottom line: We are in
the business of making our customers jobs easier.

IT'S A COMPLEX BUSINESS

For people new to the printing process as well as the professionals, the task of getting a printing job completed can be daunting, just choosing the paper can send many customers running. One of the most common errors that people make is to automatically give their printing to the same shop. They don't seem to understand that printers are like snowflakes, no two are the same. They have different equipment mixes, goals, and business philosophies. If your job happens to fit their special mix you win, if not, it will cost more than it probably needs to.

   So what do you do? If you spend your precious time searching out and analyzing printers and their capabilities who is doing your job? The job that pays your salary. I can't do your job like you, and you can't do my job like me. We already know the printers and if we don't know one we will employ our over 35 years of experience to understand their capabilities
.
    How do we work? We meet with you or get your specs over email. We will bring samples, make paper dummies, and help you decide amongst a plethora of paper options to choose the one for your job. We figure out the best way to print the project and only send the specifications to printers equipped to do it right, and on time. We compare pricing and give our recommendations to you. We answer all of your questions, gather your art, and review it with the printer. We make sure you get a proof and if warranted arrange for a press check to help you guarantee the print quality. We will assist you in mailing services if needed or arrange for shipping or delivery. When the dust settles we bill you for all the work so that you don't have to deal with invoices from here there and everywhere
.
   Couldn't you do this yourself? Of course you could, but is it worth it? I've spent a lifetime learning the ins and outs of printing. I've discovered ways to make the process as simple as possible. You, on the other hand, would have to reinvent the wheel. There is a very real learning curve and some potentially expensive dues to pay for errors.

   Are we costly? Nope. You don't pay a cent. We operate completely on discounts we arrange with the printers. You see, we bring them business and they don't have to pay matching Social Security, health benefits, expense allowances, or even overhead. Talk about a deal. The printer gets nearly free sales help and all they have to do is discount their invoices to us by the sales commission they would normally pay anyway. I'm telling you it's a Win-Win-Win situation.

   In these tough economic times we are all trying to find ways to save money.If you aren't using our services now, you are probably wasting 5% to 20% of your printing dollar. Just call, I'll answer the phone not some wet-behind-the-ears underling and let's get started saving you time, hassle, and money.

Beginnings
      Bill Ruesch has been in the printing industry since his first job out of high school where he was employed as pressman's assistant on a Goss Suburban newspaper press. He was working then for High Color Lithographers in Tucson, Arizona. Since, he has worked a stint in the heat-set web printing industry in Denver, Colorado, where he learned magazine and catalog printing. The company was Rotary Offset Printers and they had the philosophy that account executives were to supervise all areas of the job. He was taught job estimating, production supervision, and other needed skills.

                             Growing, Learning
    Missing his Utah home, where he was born and raised, Bill returned with his family to accept the position of Sales and Marketing Director for a nationally distributed herbal magazine. After a couple of years he was employed as an Account Executive for a Salt Lake City advertising firm. These experiences gave him a unique perspective. He learned to see printing from the customer's vantage point.

                     Printer's Ink in His Veins
   It wasn't long before the call of the press got too strong to ignore and he joined a sheet-fed printing company by the name of Progressive Printing. He worked as a sales representative and the company's Marketing Director. The company saw skyrocketing sales that they had to attribute to Bill's determination and mastery of the business.

                           Increasing Service
   It was obvious to Bill that no one printer could be all things to all people and that if he was going to provide the best possible service to his customers he would have to expand his capabilities. In December of 1990, Bill Ruesch Print Broker was born. Now instead of trying to make the customer's job fit the company, he could take the job to the company that fit the customer.

                                   The Result
   Bill discovered ways to save his customers substantial amounts of money on their printing bills, in fact some reported twenty to forty percent decreases. He was able to improve the quality of their work because he was no longer trying to fit the square peg into the round hole.

                            Honors and Awards
    Bill has won a Gold award for print advertising from the Utah Advertising Federation and the prestigious Diamond award for printing sales from the Graphic Arts Sales Foundation. Bill was the owner and publisher of the nationally distributed New Health Magazine. He is an accomplished Toastmaster and currently serves as the Division E Governor of District 15.
