Strategic Sourcing Guide to Photography Services Procurement

Overview

The market for Communication Services and its sub-segments such as Photography Services are at an interesting intersection. In the broader industry, automated tools and advanced technology is making inroads and even replacing some of the non-core workforce of suppliers. As a result, overall cost structure of suppliers has become more favorable across the industry and buyers of Photography Services can expect to benefit from lower costs of suppliers once they break even with their investments in technology.

Rising cost of workforce possessing core skill sets is expected to offset some of the cost savings that suppliers are expecting through implementation of lean and technology-based operations.

Price rise in certain essential assets and supplies required to deliver Photography Services is making a significant addition to the supplier's overall expenditure. This could have an inflationary impact on buyer's procurement expenditure in the Photography Services market.

Trends like these and many others discussed in this report are necessitating a relook at the way Photography Services is procured and the procurement cost saving opportunities that exist.

Photography Services Procurement Best Practices

As market conditions become more dynamic and procurement practices get more sophisticated, category managers need to be cognizant of the best practices that work for their Photography Services category procurement. The report offers a succinct analysis of Photography Services procurement best practices.

For example, Having dedicated on-site staff from the service provider is a highly recommended measure for reducing category lead time for buyers.

Buyers should engage with service providers that can consolidate multiple marketing, advertising and communications disciplines such as SEO, SEM, social media management, and traditional advertising. Such consolidation increases cost savings, convenience, and facilitates supplier performance benchmarking.

Service providers often hire subcontractors to assist in certain aspects of a project. Buyers must ensure that subcontractors are bound by the same terms and conditions that main service providers adhere to. Buyers should also ensure that the project budget does not exceed while negotiating with subcontractors.

  • When requirements of the buyers are not absolutely clear or usage patterns are not stable or predictable, suppliers often build in \"cost buffers\" for unforeseen risks due to a lack of complete understanding on buyer's requirements.

  • Pricing terms in the contract could prove to be inadequate to safeguard the buyer from impact of a sudden increase in supplier's cost, often arising from a lack of clarity on scope of products or services to be delivered
