October News

Some great ways to impress your clients

Business cards, showcards, invitations, Christmas cards, menus, flyers. All these items can be beautifully enhanced with the careful use of embossing. Hailsham Creative’s design experts can use your logo, image or a texture to make your material more elegant, impressive and attractive.

So, with Christmas coming, why not treat yourself to something a little special? Full-colour printed, embossed business cards and showcards are on special offer. 

There’s more…

How would you like your name and contact details on your customers’ wall for a whole year? How about a 12 month wallplanner. During October we have great print deals on wallplanners.

See Print Offers or call us for more details.

During October organise your festive calendar gifts. With 25% off Fourteen Month Calendars and 30% off Wallplanners, there’s never been a better time to make sure you’re on your customers walls all year round – make sure your competition don’t get there first.

Don’t just give calendars away – sell them!

Many of our customers use calendars to raise funds or make some money. Here are a few ideas on ways you could boost your income – and raise your profile – with a little bit of effort.

1. Run a design competition for kids

Put the best paintings or artwork into a calendar and sell them to parents (and a second copy to Granny).

2. Sell adverts to local businesses

Ask local businesses to buy adverts – put a different one on each page, or around the side of Wallplanners.

3. Photograph kids on their birthday month

Snap everyone with a June birthday together, print on their birthdays, then flog the calendars to Mums and Dads.

4. Strip off like the calendar girls

Get your colleagues to flash a bit of flesh in the name of charity.

5. Double up as recipe books

Pop on some seasonal recipes on each month and make the calendars even more sellable.

What's happening in July?

Things tend to hot up in July - the sun comes out and there are lots of Business shows, Trade Fairs and all kinds of other events where you will need marketing material. You will be competing for attention so make sure you stand out from the crowds with some great design work. Talk to us about how we can get you noticed.

• Remember, if you are at a Trade Show you need to attract visitors to your stand so you can talk to them face to face. Your stand needs to be eye catching and put across an instant message. 
• Images are important - a sheet of white paper with black writing only conveys a message if someone is taking the time to read it. Grab them by the eyeballs with a striking image, typeface or combination of colours and they are more likely to pick up your bit of paper and not only read it, but keep it.
• Have plenty of Business cards and hand them out with a smile, don't wait for someone to pick one up. Make your cards stand with gloss highlights.
• Have a look at all of the special offers on print available in July - you can afford to be creative. Keep your message short and sweet on flyers and leaflets and have more information available in a brochure or booklet.

June print offers

We've got six deals this month including our premium framed canvas prints (see www.printing.com for more details). Starting at just £18 they make beautiful signage and elegant decoration for your office or home. And if you need Envelopes, Leaflets or Business Cards, we've got discount deals on them too - saving you up to 50%.

Offers end Friday 29th June.
