Rush Order Victory: BAMKO Tackles Tight Deadlines for SeatGeek Posters
When SeatGeek, the ultimate ticket marketplace, needed to produce 1,500 posters for the Washington Commanders home games under an incredibly tight deadline, they turned to BAMKO. This wasn’t just any ordinary poster project – SeatGeek needed the posters printed and delivered in a matter of days, with artwork (by the talented illustrator Grand Gruenhaupt) arriving on a Monday. The final posters needed to be delivered by Thursday, in preparation for the weekend game and autographing event with the players.
The challenge was clear: find a printing partner who could handle the volume and execute with incredible speed and precision. SeatGeek and BAMKO initially reached out to a variety of printers along the East Coast, but none could accommodate such a tight deadline. With the clock ticking, BAMKO expanded the search, considering vendors in our midwestern backyard who might be able to deliver.
A Hail Mary Pass: BAMKO’s Winning Play
BAMKO’s sourcing approach is always focused on optimization. We carefully weigh the cost and benefit of shipping, speed, and quality to find the best possible solution for our clients. In this case, it turned out that looking locally was the key. A lithographer in Phoenix, Arizona, not only had the capacity to produce the posters within an incredibly short timeframe but also offered the most competitive pricing.
By thinking outside the box and leveraging our wide network of trusted print partners, BAMKO delivered a winning play within an incredibly tight deadline. This initial victory paved the way for a streamlined and replicable supply chain, allowing us to fulfill subsequent orders with the same speed and efficiency.
The SeatGeek case study is a testament to BAMKO’s commitment to client success. We thrive on overcoming challenges, especially when time is of the essence. Our ability to quickly identify and secure the right vendor, even under immense pressure, demonstrates our agility and dedication to delivering exceptional results.
