Snap design and printing franchises partner with Quark to launch online printing services

Snap  design and printing franchise has joined forces with international publishing software company Quark to launch a new publishing service for Australian small businesses.

Announced by the CEOs of Snap and Quark at the Snap national convention in Sydney last Friday, the new Snap Promote service will go live on September 1.

The online service allows customers to select from a range of professionally designed templates which they can customise with downloadable software available on the Snap website.

Templates available on the service include

• business cards
• post card-sized mailers
• glossy tri-fold brochures
• other marketing materials

Once ordered, customers can pick up their professionally printed marketing material from one of Snap's design and printing franchises, or have them posted directly.

Snap CEO Grant Vernon says that Snap Promote is an exciting new product which he is confident will be embraced by small business owners across a wide range of industries.

“Professional design and printing is so often a barrier for small business owners.

"Snap Promote gives small businesses the ability to create and print high quality marketing material easily and affordably,” he said.

CEO of Quark, Ray Schiavone was in Sydney this week for the launch, and said he is excited about the partnership with Snap.

The association with the printing and design franchises will be the first private label version of the QuarkPromote.com service released anywhere in the world.

“QuarkPromote.com has generated significant interest globally and when looking at the Australian market to launch our online printing service, Snap was the obvious choice to form an alliance with," Shiavone explained.

“We are delighted that Snap, the leader in printing solutions in Australia, is bringing Snap Promote to the many small businesses that need a flexible and cost effective way to grow their businesses."
