The financial world moves fast, and when opportunities arise, firms need to be ready. A single meeting can be the difference between securing a billion-dollar deal or missing out entirely. That’s where pitch books come in—an important tool for investment bankers, private equity firms, hedge funds, and asset managers to showcase their strategies, financial models, and opportunities. But in high-pressure situations, there’s no time for delays. Precision and speed are everything.
Think You’re Alone? You’re Not. Pitch Books Are Almost Always Rush
It’s 8 p.m., and you just got off the phone—big investor meeting at 8 a.m. tomorrow. You have 12 hours. And no pitch book. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Pitch books are almost always rush jobs. We see it at ABG Print all the time and these are the most common reasons:
The Last-Minute Investor Meeting – A high-net-worth investor or institutional fund wants to meet. The catch? It’s tomorrow morning. There’s no room for errors or late deliveries—your pitch book must be flawless and on time.
The Competitive M&A Bid – In mergers and acquisitions, timing is everything. Financial models and valuation tables change at the last minute, requiring immediate reprints. On-time delivery is non-negotiable.
The High-Stakes Board Presentation – Quarterly reports and investor relations presentations require up-to-the-minute data. When the final numbers arrive just before the meeting, your pitch books must be updated, printed, and ready overnight.
So, How Can You Make Sure Your Rush Job Gets Rushed?
You need it rushed, and we want it to be error-free and top quality. To ensure all these things can happen, here are 5 quick checks you can do before handing over your materials:
- Image Check: Ensure all images are sharp and at least 300 DPI to avoid pixelation. A blurry chart or distorted logo can undermine your presentation before you even speak a word.
- Page Order: Manually verify the correct order, especially for spreads with images across two pages. A misplaced page in a financial model could change the entire narrative.
- Edge Check: Maintain enough bleed so no important content is trimmed off. A common printing mistake is text placed too close to the edge, resulting in key information being cut off.
- Font Check: Embed all fonts to prevent unexpected changes when printed. The last thing you need is your sleek, professional document printing in an entirely different font, altering the intended look and feel.
- Color Check: Use CMYK color mode—RGB looks different on a computer screen than it does in print. Colors that pop on screen might not translate the same way onto paper, and in high-stakes meetings, visuals matter.
