New Year’s Resolutions (and lots of New Products!)

What are your New Year’s Resolutions? My guess is: more leads, more conversions and more sales! 2014 looks promising, after five years of “credit crunch” and “tightening of belts”. This year there is a real sense of a new start, when businesses can finally start investing in growth, rather than dealing with stagnation.

New printing machines an now print on leather. Other materials that can take full colour printing are glass and acrylic - ideal for awards and placques.

To mark such positive changes in the economy, there have been a lot of investments in the promotional industry. Our factories have been kitted out with new machines, making print quality better than ever. Among the highlights are special full colour printers for glass, acrylic and leather! These give stunning results - the acrylic and glass are perfect for awards that will really stand out, and leather printing allows you to have photo-quality reproduction on superior leather folders, tablet cases or wallets. In fact, full colour printing is continuously getting better on a large range of products: from pens - to bags, and is available on more items and materials than ever.

The powerbank is predicted to be a hit. It's a spare battery that you can charge up at home and then use it to power up mobile devices when out and about.

In addition to better print quality, 2014 brings new products. We have a special page to feature them and keep checking it as it will be growing more and more over the coming weeks, inspiring you with new ideas for your promotional campaigns. My personal favourite is the Power Bank Charger - a little device that you charge with your computer or laptop, and then take with you to be a saviour when your mobile phone battery runs out. Practical gifts like this are always a hit. Think of how excited and grateful your client will be when they receive one of these from you! It will do wonders for brand awareness.A new great novelty item that is likely to be kept and used is the Multi-Function Construction Pen. Apart from a refillable ballpen, it features: a ruler with 4 different metric ratios, a Spirit Level, Slotted and Phillip's Screwdrivers, and a Stylus for your smartphone or tablet. All encased in sturdy brass and lacquered in one of 5 colour choices. It is durable and has a high-end feel about it - such gift will really be appreciated by anyone in the DIY, building, construction and engineering world. Finally, on a sweeter note, check out the new Dinky Mini Pots! These cute little jars are a cost-effective way to say thank you to your clients. Filled with jelly beans, mints or chocolates, their price starts at only £1.11 each, and includes the branding. These pots are perfect for keeping you brand consistent, because you can choose the colours of the jelly beans to reflect your brand colours. On top of that, we print the lid in full colour and add doming, which gives it an expensive feel. Keep checking our website for new items and have a fantastic New Year with lots of growth and sales!
