In the field of business management or economics, there are three (3) main ways to maximize a company’s profit. These are either to increase revenue stream or decrease costs or both. Internally, the easier thing to do is to cut costs because it is something that you can control within the boundaries of your operation. While you can still influence your revenue stream, it would take more effort. It is in this regard that even in producing marketing collaterals, for example, some companies tend to prefer cheap CD duplication services in order to minimize their expenses, which could have a direct impact to their overhead.

How to tell if the service is cheap?

Firstly, in order for you to get the cheapest option, you need to have a reference on what is the regular cost of availing such service. You need to do a little research in order to do this. One way to do this is to get different quotations from various service providers. However, if you have more time to spare, you can find out the details about the actual costs of the service, including the raw materials like the price of blank CDs, stickers, papers, packaging ...
... and the like. While doing that could be really tedious, this would provide you a more exact estimate of what the real cost of the service is.

Would the quality be compromised?

However, not because you have the cheapest one, it does not necessarily mean that you really got a good deal. There are times that getting the service with the lowest price could even make you spend more in the long run. This is when the aspect of quality comes in. As a matter of fact, cheap CD duplication services are often associated with low quality as well. This could be because the materials used for the production are second-rate in order to cut costs. Nevertheless, there are still affordable options that you can find out there without compromising the quality at all.

What are the components of the package?

Thirdly, but not the least, another thing that you should also ponder on about these kinds of services is about the components that will be included in the package. You should not just look into the numbers alone. Instead, you need to make sure that you are comparing apples to apples. You have to make sure that the service packages you are matching have the same or similar components. For instance, what if two (2) packages have the same price, but one will not include blank CDs on the cost, which means that you need to provide it?
