Client Overview
A non-government, not-for-profit agency that provides support, advocacy and counselling services to assist in disease prevention and health promotion. They rely primarily on both government funding and private donations.
Client’s Goals
The Client spent considerable amounts on promotional items for distribution, printing of, amongst other things, posters and booklets to promote improved health practices and cleaning their Sydney Headquarters.
While our primary focus is to reduce costs and therefore increase profits for the commercial sector, it can be seen very graphically that our services can have a great impact on charitable and not-for-profit organizations. As we concentrate on the reduction of non-core expenses, funds can also be freed up for human resources also.
Project Summary
After being contracted by the client, we managed to reduce the costs of promotional items by 46%, print by 21% and cleaning by 13%. This meant that they had over $35Kpa extra to spend on consumables, $23Kpa extra to spend on marketing literature and posters and over $5Kpa extra towards administration costs.
Outcome
Our efforts resulted in a delivering the client an extra $63,000 per year without increasing their annual budgets! (Note that these amounts are net of any fees and averaged over a 3year period).
