How do you tell suppliers about the change?

Each supplier gets the file they actually print, with the date the old material stops being valid. A WhatsApp group with the new logo as a PNG is not enough if the printer is still on the previous PDF. Make the list: signmaker, menu printer, uniforms, website and whoever makes the bags. Beside each name, the format they asked for last time. In Madrid the new sign lives for two months next to napkins with the old name because nobody told the paper supplier. The guest sees two houses on the same table.

Each supplier receives their PDF or vector, the one-ink sheet and the cut-off date. You keep the same folder, in case the next order is placed by someone else.
