Trades still make up a good chunk of the customer base here. Builders, electricians and plumbers rely on corflute signs and vehicle magnets to get noticed on site, while a growing number of childcare centres and health professionals lean on brochures and business cards to build trust with residents who’ve only just moved in and don’t know anyone yet.

Sitting between North Lakes, Kallangur and Narangba means a lot of Dakabin businesses aren’t just servicing their own suburb. They’re covering three or four at once, which changes how they think about print. A flyer here often needs to work just as well two suburbs over.

We’ve noticed Dakabin customers tend to order in shorter, more frequent bursts than the bigger established suburbs nearby. Makes sense, really, when the customer base itself is still growing and changing every quarter.

It’s also fairly common for a Dakabin business to ask us about signage before they’ve even signed a lease, simply because so much here is still under construction. We’re used to quoting off a floor plan rather than a finished shopfront.

A number of our Dakabin regulars started out ordering just a single product, usually business cards, before coming back for signage and brochures once the business found its feet. We’re just as happy with that gradual approach as we are with a full package upfront.

We supply Dakabin along with Kallangur, Petrie, Narangba and North Lakes, delivering straight to the workplace or home once artwork’s been approved.
