| What have been the reasons/motivation for foreign customers to offshore the
services to India? |
| The biggest reason is the Cost savings. Due to lower cost the break even points
for a DM campaign becomes lower, leading to better chances of a profitable
campaign. India is a highly computer literate & English speaking country, which
facilitates business discussions with foreign clients. India has kept pace with
changes in printing technology & is able to offer to clients what they require. |

| Do you have a standard price list, which is applicable? |
| To set up a standard price list is not very feasible since the pricing is always
calculated on the basis of mail piece size, quantity, weight per piece, mailing
into etc. These aspects determine the exact & accurate price. Usually when
client is interested to outsource services from MOS, we would normally request
client to send us samples of printing material for quote request. In case if
it's a new creative and if they do not have samples from previous print runs
then they could also e-mail us a PDF of the creative which would help us to
understand the specs better. Once client confirms the above we send out the
complete Printing & Postage price. |
