You only get one chance to make a first impression. That’s why it is essential to ensure that all the products and services you offer are held to the same high standards that you have set for your dealership. You want to make sure that the overall impression you make is a positive one and leaves a lasting impact.

That’s why we asked Brett Noble, Sr. Business Development Manager, LD Channel Partner Division: “How can toner quality issues affect a dealership?”

Brett’s Response: Murphy’s Law tells us when a toner issue happens it’s usually on the most critical device, like the CEO’s desktop printer. When something like this happens, it reflects poorly on your dealership. We care a lot that something like this doesn’t happen to you! At the end of the day, your brand is your livelihood, and you don’t want a cartridge to be the reason that your business is negatively affected. When it comes to your brand, I think one of the most harmful things that can happen is a cartridge failure or toner issue.

In this competitive market, maintaining customer satisfaction and a healthy bottom-line hinge upon reliable toner products. Poor quality can lead to irreparably damaged relationships with customers who may look elsewhere for vendors and put your dealership’s profitability at risk. Not only do dealers have to compensate their clients or offer discounts, but they also risk draining resources trying to fix the problem. It’s in every dealer’s best interest to prioritize product excellence from day one!

How Can the GOLD Line Packaging Help Dealers?

Packaging is a critical part of the marketing and selling process for any product. It helps to create a memorable and visually appealing experience for end users, while also serving as a practical way to ensure that products arrive safe and intact at their destination. Premium packaging can have a huge influence on the perception of a product and its value.

That’s why we asked Christian Pepper, President, LD Channel Partner Division to answer the question: “How can the GOLD Line packaging help dealers?”

Christian’s Response: We get a lot of complimentary feedback from dealers on our packaging. There are a couple of things that dealers comment on most. The first thing is that people buy everything with their eyes. First impressions are incredibly important, and no matter how great your product or service is, it won’t get a second look if the packaging isn’t attractive. We recognize that people are judging the quality of the cartridge before they even put it in the printer and test its printout. So, we want that outer box experience to be really good. Just like our product is called GOLD Line, we have gold foil on our box. We want to demonstrate that there is a premium product inside.

Additionally, other competitors in the remanufactured industry tend to use about 10 different box sizes for the 5,000 SKUs that they make. So, what you end up with is very large boxes with a lot of filler around small toner cartridges. By comparison, every single GOLD Line SKU has an individually designed box, and that box is designed to be minimal in size to ship cartridges safely and reduce shipping costs, which saves our dealers money. It also means less storage space is needed in customer storage cabinets.

The LD Channel Partner Division understands that packaging is a key factor in forming end-user impressions of their product. The premium GOLD Line packaging has been extremely successful in helping us differentiate our toner from other options on the market.
