Running a screen printing shop is no easy task. Days can be long, work demanding, but you still need to deliver what you promised. Your customers have come to you to make their merch for whatever the big event is and you gave your word that you’ll have it ready by a certain date. What if you fail to deliver? Your customers don’t have everything they needed, you lose them, and your reputation suffers. If you want to stay relevant and if you want your business to grow, you need to be able to give your customers exactly what you promised them exactly when you promised it. Once you start getting bad reviews it’s going to be really challenging to repair the damage that’s been done.
The fact is that screen printing shops are dealing with multiple tasks at the same time. They have people focused on different tasks and projects that are in different stages of production. That can be a bit chaotic and overwhelming. From time to time, screen printers will simply give up and drop the ball on the project. Many jobs are being handled at the same moment and even more are in the queue, so it’s important to be able to prioritize and not miss due dates.
