A printer sells what they have. PromotionWorks finds what you need.
For over 30 years, we have managed your print and promotional product requirements from start to finish so your team doesn't have to.
PromotionWorks is a print agency based in Kitchener-Waterloo that replaces the print shop model with a solution that uses its decades-long experience in the print industry to find printed solutions that work for you. A printer needs to keep their own machines busy; our complete focus is on finding the right solution for your printed projects. To do that, we audit your process requirements first and then find the best product, strategy, and manufacturing production process method for the job—so you get the right print solution for every purpose, every time.
Four ways we help
Each service is designed to solve a real business problem, not just produce materials.
We start with Why
Every dollar you spend on print should support your broader strategic goals. That’s why we provide expert insight before any production begins. Instead of just taking an order, we ask "Why?" to make sure that the product actually solves the problem. If a product doesn't serve its purpose, we'll refine it until it does - or find a better solution altogether.
30 years of getting the specs right.
We’ve spent 30 years on the production floors and out in the field to see how print solutions work in the real world, supporting business development, marketing and sales programs of all kinds. We know what works, what doesn’t, and exactly where the hidden costs are buried in your print budget. We’re here to pinpoint the communication gaps that cost you money and deliver printed tools that close them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a print agency, and how is it different from a traditional printer?
A traditional printer is a manufacturer limited by the specific equipment they own. They focus on keeping their machines running and often produce what the customer asks for without further thought. As a print agency, we know where everything is made so, PromotionWorks is vendor-agnostic. We focus on identifying the specific process problem and sourcing the solution from a wide network of specialized manufacturers. We make sure our solution is the best fit for the problem, rather than forcing the product to fit a specific machine.
How does Promotion Works lower the total cost of doing business?
Total cost involves more than just the price of the printed item. It’s also the cost of buying the product, the cost of using the product, and the cost of lost opportunity. By taking responsibility for the analysis, sourcing, implementation, and day-to-day management of our solution, we remove the administrative cost from your staff’s shoulders. Additionally, the PromotionWorks process gives your team the time to focus on their primary responsibilities so further operational savings are realized.
Do you charge consulting or management fees?
No. While we act as a consulting agency by performing in-depth analysis and process improvement, we do not charge separate consulting fees or retainers to any client that purchases printed products of any kind from us. Our value is built into the management of the printed solutions we provide.
Why should I work with an agency instead of using an online print service?
Online services are built for organizations that have the internal time and expertise to manage their own design, specification, and procurement. For most businesses, the time spent by an owner or high-value staff member trying to understand and use these platforms represents a big cost in lost opportunity. Using our industry experience we save you time by handling all the details steps in the solution process.
Which industries do you typically support?
We have decades of experience supporting organizations of all sizes across several sectors, including manufacturing, franchise and retail, technology, health care, corporate, and professional services. Our work is especially effective for small and medium-sized organizations who need support in our areas of expertise because they don't have the people or the time to do it themselves. It is also effective when the organization has complex operational needs, such as manufacturing facilities that need work flow products like pressure-sensitive labels or franchise networks that need consistent branding across multiple locations at a cost that makes sense for the individual franchisee.
Do you work with small businesses or startups?
Our clients range in size from one-person operations to organizations with thousands of employees. We believe every organization can benefit from lowering their cost of operation. Regardless of your size, we apply the same analytical approach to find the exact product required for your needs.
