HIP-HOP mogul Jay-Z has been sued by a New York wearables wholesaler over an unsettled bill for imprinted apparel.
iSource NYC has filed a law-suit in Manhattan Supreme Court against Rocawear, the apparel brand co-created by Jay-Z, over $450,000 allegedly owed to the wholesaler, The New York Post reported.
In its court filing, iSource NYC states that Rocawear placed a one million dollar or-der for “specially ordered goods with the ‘Rocawear’ brand
name imprinted on [them]”. The wholesaler had the gar-
ments manufactured in Paki-stan and shipped to New York last spring, but was only paid for half of the invoice.
The filing goes on to state that Rocawear “never returned the ROC goods to iSource.”
iSource NYC is seeking the remaining $500,000 owed on the bill, in addition to 9% in-terest.
Obviously some Unfinished Business there – Money Ain’t a Thang.
CHOCOLATE and confectionery specialist Michton has acquired the former Orion electrical goods factory in Margam, Port Talbot for an undisclosed figure.
The 100,000 sq ft factory will allow for further expansion. Michton was established in 1992 by siblings Mi-chelle & Tony Wadley. The company started in London but relocated to Swansea in 1998.
Michelle and Tony told PPD they were excited with the new acquisi-tion. Michton has been able to buck the trend and expand during these difficult times.
The company manufactures moulded solid and hollow chocolate products, edible cake decorations and peppermints.
The products are supplied to retail-ers, wholesalers and plant bakeries throughout the UK and Europe either under its own label or The Chocolate Factory, Bite Promotions and BakeArt brands.
Michton currently employs 35 full-time staff, plus additional seasonal part-time workers.
Tony said: “Being able to keep the company based in Wales is very important to us. We have a high-ly-skilled, dedicated workforce and without them, the company would not be where we are today.”
The new factory should be open and ready to host tours during the school holidays.
Michton intends to relocate its en-tire production from Swansea to the new site by the end of this year.
The move will also allow for further investment in production lines and specialised machinery.

THEY say the sun always shines on the righteous. PPD has no comment on that, but The Sourc-ing Team was certainly blessed with brilliant sunshine when it hosted its end-of-year barbecue.
The party, which featured live music from Ray Lowe and the Legends of Swing, was attended by many of the team’s key UK sup-ply partners.
Boss Gill Thorpe told PPD: “There was great food, wonderful music and great company.”
PRESIDENT Obama has an-nounced that the United States is suspending Bangla-desh’s trading privileges with America in the wake of two tragedies in the garment sec-tor which claimed more than 1,200 lives.
The suspension from the “Gen-eralized System of Preferences” programme will increase duties on an array of products Bangla-desh exports to the US, including tobacco, sporting equipment, porcelain china, plastic products and a small amount of textile products.
However, it will not directly affect Bangladesh’s main export, clothing, since garments are not eligible for duty cuts under the GSP program, which was creat-ed in 1976 to help economic de-velopment in the world’s poorest countries and to reduce import costs for US companies.
In 2012, Bangladesh was spared about $2 million in US duties on about $35 million worth of goods
under GSP program. However, it paid about $732 million in US du-ties on $4.9 billion of clothing ex-ports not covered by the program.
Nevertheless, Obama’s decision will be seen as a repudiation of working conditions in Bangladesh following the collapse of the Rana Plaza garment factory building in April that killed 1,129 people and the Tazreen factory fire in Novem-ber that killed 112.
It could also influence a Euro-pean Union decision on wheth-er to suspend trade benefits for Bangladesh – which would have far more impact, since the coun-try’s clothing and textiles exports receive duty-free treatment over here.
EU and Bangladeshi officials were meeting this month for talks aimed at improving safety condi-tions and, on Bangladesh’s part, preserving its trade benefits.
The EU imported roughly 9.2 billion euros ($12.13 billion) of goods from Bangladesh last year.
THIS month sees the new chem-ical requirements of the EU Toy Directive (2009/48/EC) come into effect.
The full implementation of this directive will pose a significant challenge to suppliers of toys to the European market. Manufac-turers will be required to ensure compliance of any raw materials used in toys entering the Europe-an Union.
Toys must be manufactured so as to prevent exposure of children to harmful chemical elements.
The directive has been updat-ed to include the latest scientific knowledge and includes restric-tions on toxic elements, certain allergenic fragrance compounds and use of CMR (carcinogenic, mutagenic and toxic for repro-duction) chemicals.
In particular, it expands the mi-gratable toxic elements require-ments from eight elements to 19, including Organic Tin and Chro-mium VI.
Specialist testing firm UL has actively participated in European working groups on toy safety and was instrumental in helping to develop the new technical stan-dards.
The firm can also offer testing solutions for manufacturers of toys and children’s products to help ensure their products are compliant with the new updated standards.

PRODUCT testing specialist AsiaInspection has acquired CHB, a private Chinese-owned lab test-ing company.
CHB is CNAS and CMA accred-ited and is a leader in REACH and RoHS testing.
The acquisition will allow Hong Kong-based AsiaInspection to perform in-house consumer goods testing and certification in addition to its extensive experi-ence in quality control.
The company now offers more than 2,000 testing services includ-
ing REACH, RoHS and EN 71.
AsiaInspection’s CEO Sebastien Breteau told PPD: “This acqui-sition will benefit clients by en-hancing our lab testing network with the specialised expertise of an internationally renowned fa-cility and further reduce risk in their supply chain.
“In CHB, AsiaInspection clients gain the protection of an array of additional lab test protocols across the entire range of con-sumer goods, further eliminating risk.”

ANYONE who has spent an appreciable amount of time in my company will know that I am an avid consumer of Diet Coke.
Despite my mother’s best efforts, I have always detest-ed tea and coffee, and until my early 20s probably most-ly drank water (if choosing something non-alcoholic, at least).
Then, a spell working in Wolverhampton put me in touch with perhaps the most disgusting tap water ever tasted and I started drinking Diet Coke (this was before bottled water was a main-stream phenomenon).
Please don’t write in telling me how all those additives are killing me etc etc. I know. Probably.
Anyway, what’s that got to do with PPD, you may well be asking (if you’ve bothered to read this far, that is)?
Well, the other day, I stopped at a motorway ser-vices to load up with a Diet Coke. As you may be aware, the plastic bottles of Coke’s drinks currently carry the slogan “Share a Coke with...”, followed by one of dozens of common names.
Of course, mine is not a common name, so it came as no surprise that the service station didn’t have a “Share a Coke with Aidan” bottle – not that I’d have shared, of course. I’m not that gener-ous.
But what did strike me was that it was a perfect ex-ample of the limitations of mass-marketing.
Had the Coke been sent to me by one of you lot (hint, hint), I’ve no doubt that it would have had “Aidan” on the bottle. That’s the beauty of what you guys do.

NOTTINGHAM-BASED SC-M has launched a new website, fea-turing case studies on some of its most successful campaigns.
The company is a brand sub-sidiary of Spinning Clock, a cre-ative agency specialising in events and video production. Last year, SC-M supplied over one million pieces of merchandise to its cli-ents throughout the UK.
AN INITIAL rush in regis-trations for APG expo 2013 augurs well for the popular roadshows, says organiser Trade Only.
The regional shows, timed right at the start of the crucial fourth quarter selling season, are the biggest promotional merchandise events of the autumn.
Gail Kilcoyne, Event Manager for APG expo 2013, said: “With 90 stands already taken, we are really pleased with the numbers.
“We are delighted to welcome many new exhibitors to the shows – including Mid Ocean Brands, Solo, Northern Flags, FDM, Fresh Air, Doves, and Any Logo Any-where – as well as most of the UK suppliers such as SPS, PF Con-cept, Listawood, Adproducts.com, Bagco, Bizz Badge and Sen-ator.”
The shows will use the pop-lar email-badging and mobile badging systems used with much success at the Trade Only National Show 2013, as well as the ground-breaking electronic goody bag also pioneered at the National Show, whereby visitors who are scanned on-stand receive information enabling them to di-rectly contact the exhibitors who scanned them.
Visitors to the shows will also be able to vote for the Best Dressed Stand and Most Innova-tive Product, with awards spon-sored by Crystal Impressions and Purple Zebra Products. Nigel Bai-
ley, Event Director for the shows, added: “APG expo shows deliver excellent networking and meet-ing opportunities at the start of the crucial quartile four selling period.
“It is an important time for suppliers and distributors to get together.
“Many suppliers have new products to show at this time of the year and special offers to help distributors boost their sales.”
This year’s UK events feature two large format shows, at Sand-own Park Race Course and Exhi-bition Centre in Surrey and the Manchester Suite at Manchester United Football Club. The Dublin show will once again be at the Red Cow. The full line-up of dates is:
September 11The Esher Hall, Sandown Park Ex-hibition Centre, Sandown Park Racecourse, Sandown Park, Ports-mouth Road, Esher, Surrey KT10 9AJ. 9.30am-4pm.

Big rush begins countdown for well-timed APG
PAPER Innovation has raised more than £5,000 for local charity SPACE and – with other local busi-nesses – hopes to have secured the future of a vital facility in the North West.
The SPACE Centre has provided unique sensory care for disabled children and adults for more than 20 years, but reduced funding has recently placed it in a precarious
situation. The centre’s closure would severely affect more than 1,000 families nationally, and also be a body blow for the local com-munity.
However, thanks to funds raised by the SOS (“Save Our Space”) campaign, patrons are optimistic about securing the centre for the future needs of users and their families.

PPD HAS been informed that Clive Batchelor’s Mansfield-based company, Goldstar Leisure & Pro-motions, has ceased trading.
THE Everything Environmental Promo Industry Fantasy Football League trophy has stayed in the south for another year, as Trevor Howard of Premier Print & Pro-motions picked up the accolade.
Trevor’s team, Maybe Maybe Not, topped he league with 2001 points. He is pictured above, receiving the trophy from Ev-erything Environmental’s Mark Lever.
However, it was close-run thing, with Trade Only’s very own Gail Kilcoyne not too far behind with her team, Gail’s Heroes, finishing on 1972. Gail is pictured below with the runners-up trophy.
Incredibly, Trevor also came third with his other team, Trev’s Diamonds, on 1963 points.
THE CONCILIATION service Acas has launched a consultation on a draft Code of Practice for the extended right to request flexible working.
Under government proposals for 2014, the right to request flex-ible working will be extended to all employees who have worked for their employer for 26 weeks or more and employers will be obliged to consider all requests “in a reasonable manner”.
The current statutory proce-dure will be repealed and the Government has asked Acas to produce the Code of Practice to help businesses manage this new extended right. The consultation document is available at www.acas.org.uk.
PRINT transfer specialist TheMagicTouch has been hailed for its contribution to a new feature film starring John Malkovitch.
The company supplied its unique temporary transfer paper to the production company of Oscar-winning director Gabriele Salvatores, who used the paper to create tattoos for the key char-acters in his new movie Siberian Education.
Maurizio Nardi, the company’s head of make-up, supervised the transfer application featuring tra-ditional tattoo designs.
The stunning results saw him nominated for this year’s David di Donatello Award – the make-up industry’s equivalent of an Oscar.
Nardi said: “Having been in the movie business for 30 years, I draw on my experience and pas-sion, supported with the excellent tattoo transfer media from The-MagicTouch, to create particular designs where the results must be realistic to ensure perfect con-tinuity whilst filming over long periods.”
During the five weeks of prepa-ration and 12 of filming, there were more than 300 different de-signs produced on around 1,000 sheets of the A4 paper.
The film features Malkovitch as a Russian “Godfather” in a world of crime, corruption – and tat-tooed Siberian bandits.
The movie is expected to arrive in the UK later this year.

PROMOTIONAL merchandise helped to create the phenomenal centrepiece for one of the most spectacular scenes to appear in London’s Hyde Park in recent times.
The event, organised by the Enough Food For Everyone “IF” campaign, featured speakers, art-ists and activities.
At its heart was an installation containing 250,000 spinning flow-ers supplied by CHX Products.
Its two million petals represent-ed the two million children who die of hunger every year.
The pressure group’s event was timed to coincide with the start of the latest G8 Summit of world leaders.
BUYPROMO’S Ian Greenwell appears to be continuing his ef-forts, judging by two new reports received by PPD.
One of Greenwell’s latest targets was training company Course Academy.
Course Academy’s Chris On-slow told us: “I received a call to-day from a chap called Ian Green-well and he gave me the same script as the one you included in your article.
“I was initially quite convinced but once I started doing some dig-ging, I was lucky enough to find the article on your site – which saved us from being duped into
spending money. I challenged Ian Greenwell by phone and he just dug a big hole for himself.”
PPD has learned that another training company, We Teach You, has also been approached with a similar proposition, this time by the ubiquitous Glen Clough at Buy Training.
As we have said before, PPD can only urge extreme caution in dealing with Buypromo.co.uk Ltd and Buy Training Ltd.

LONDON’S iconic Savoy Ho-tel was the venue when Trade Only hosted its annual key supplier lunch recently.
Guests met and networked over pre-dinner drinks and canapés, which were served in the Savoy Museum.
This was followed by lunch in the D’Oyly Carte Room of the Sa-voy Grill, overlooking the famous courtyard entrance.
After a great meal, coffee and petits fours, many guests moved on to the world-famous Ameri-can Bar, one of London’s favourite meeting spots.
The event certainly hit the spot with the lucky guests.
Senator’s Andrew Hill said: “It was a superb venue, with great food, and a convivial atmosphere appreciated by everyone.”
Stephen Taylor of Sweet Con-cepts said it was “a really lovely lunch – great venue and fantastic company.”
Anna Gill of Michael Virden said: “The food and wine were both excellent and the glorious setting was such a treat.
“I welcomed the opportunity to chat to other suppliers with-out other distractions, and also to hear news and views.”
Pencarrie’s Tony Lock added: “A very enjoyable occasion at an ex-cellent location.”
And PF Concept’s Tracey Bow-en summed it up: “Great venue, great food and great company!”
Featured extensively in the re-cent semi-finals of BBC 1’s Mas-terChef, The Savoy Grill is one of London’s legendary restaurants, frequented by celebrated diners such as Sir Winston Churchill, Oscar Wilde, Frank Sinatra, Char-lie Chaplin, Elizabeth Taylor, Rex Harrison, Doris Day, Ivor Novello and Marilyn Monroe.

The Savoy has just completed the most ambitious hotel resto-ration in British history.
Originally opened in 1889, the hotel has played host to royalty, world leaders and legends of the stage and screen.
It was built by impresario Rich-ard D’Oyly Carte, who staged the operettas written by his friends Gilbert and Sullivan, and was opened on August 6, 1889.
The Savoy was the first true lux-ury hotel in London, the first to be lit by electricity and the first to feature electric lifts.

A WORKING paper sug-gesting that San Francisco’s eco-friendly ban on plastic bags might actually be killing people has caused a stir in the US.
The paper, co-authored by Jon-athan Klick and Joshua Wright of the Wharton School of the Uni-versity of Pennsylvania, found that food-borne illnesses in San Francisco increased 46% after the bag ban came into effect in 2007, with no comparable increase in neighbouring counties.
The authors concluded that the most likely cause was people put-ting food into dirty reusable bags and not washing it before con-sumption.
They concluded: “Our results suggest that the San Francisco ban led to, conservatively, 5.4 an-nual additional deaths.”
However, the claims have been met with some scepticism.
Klick and Wright examined the number of emergency room visits for E. coli infections in San Fran-cisco County in the 10 quarters before and after the plastic bag ban took effect. They found a big
jump. There was no such jump in E. coli-related emergency room visits in nearby Bay Area counties which haven’t passed a ban on the bags.
However, Tomás Aragón, an ep-idemiologist at UC Berkeley and health officer for the city of San Francisco, said the data does not prove the hypothesis.
Aragón said that in order to es-tablish a link between the bag ban and illnesses, the authors would have to show that the same peo-ple who are using reusable bags are also the ones getting sick. The study doesn’t do that.
Aragón offered an alternative hypothesis for the recent rise in deaths related to intestinal infec-tions.
A large portion of the cases in San Francisco involve C. difficile enterocolitis, a disease often re-corded as “food-borne illness” in hospitals.
This disease has become more common in many places since 2005, including here in Europe.
Aragón added: “The increase in San Francisco probably reflects this international increase.”

COMMUNITY Communica-tion in North Yorkshire – also known as Bedale Copy Shop – has become an Associate Mem-ber of the bpma.
Owner and director John Dunwell, pictured with his team, told PPD: “As our trading name implies, our core business is digital print and copying but we have in-house capacity to
produce a range of personalised items, such as heat transfer printed clothing and mugs.
“Joining the bpma marks the start of a more proactive ap-proach to the wider distribution of promotional merchandise, using the network of suppliers through Trade Only, with whom we have been Spectrum sub-scribers for three years.”
TIM Cadell’s Festive Promo-tions (see Company Focus on p26) found itself fielding an un-usual request when internet gi-ant MSN came calling – a snow-globe with no insert.
MSN held its #SHAKE-UP2013 Social Media Summit last month and was looking for an unusual and memorable in-vitation for delegates to attend - and chose a snowglobe with just snow, in the colours of the MSN logo.
Tim told PPD: “In eight years of making promotional mer-chandise snowglobes, we have never been asked for a ‘no in-sert’ snowglobe. Everyone was delighted with the outcome, and it’s another excellent example of
the promotional merchandise industry getting creative for its clients.”

BADGEMASTER founder and Managing Director John Bancroft, pictured right, has been awarded the MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours.

He runs the company with his wife and co-director Vicky.
The company now employs 88 full-time staff at its base in New-stead, a former mining village which suffered large-scale unem-ployment following the closure of the mines.
Badgemaster is now a key em-ployer in the area and received Nottinghamshire County Coun-cil’s first “Bridge to Work” award in 1997 for its training and develop-ment of previously unemployed people.

RUSSELL Coleman has joined European wholesaler Mid Ocean Brands as Account Manager for UK and Ireland.
Russell is a familiar figure in the industry, notching up almost 18 years in the promotional products sector.
Mid Ocean Brands’ Regional Director Haydn Willetts told PPD: “We see the addition of Russ to our UK team as a key part of our plan to once again grow in the UK/Irish market.
“His knowledge, reputation and experience will enable us to con-tact and visit many more custom-ers, helping to raise our profile, improve visibility for our products and services.
“There is a strong fit with both his background and personality and we are extremely pleased to have him on board.
“Russell has joined us at a key stage in the development of the company – the recently-an-nounced new ownership gives us considerable financial stability to allow us to continue to offer one of the strongest product collec-tions and second to none print service in Europe via our own print facility in Poland.”
Russell said: “I am definitely up for the challenge and from what I have seen so far in Holland and Poland, we have a lot to shout about to the UK customer base.
“The print facility in Poland is extremely impressive and the stock-holding and range is vast.
“I am looking forward to work-ing with customers old and new in my new role.”

HIGH Profile has expanded its popular golfing range of products with new items suitable for all levels of players, from those who have just started playing the game to the more experienced golfer.
MD Richard Wood told PPD: “The golfing industry is big busi-ness in the UK and worth a stag-gering £5.25 billion to the British and Irish industries.
“With over four million people playing golf in Great Britain – ap-proximately 8% of the adult pop-ulation – it continues to be one of the most popular sports with au-diences attracting men, women and juniors. As a keen golfer my-self, I am always on the look-out
for new products that we can add to our portfolio of essential golf-ing products.
“Each item we have included in the range can be individualised with corporate colours, branding and logos to ensure it is kept and retained for the foreseeable fu-ture.
“New to our 2013 range is our Golf Tee and Pitch Fork, which are ‘must have’ items whilst teeing up on the golf course.
“For a more personalised golf-ing product, our custom-shaped Golf Bag Tags are an ideal solu-tion.”

AT ANY exhibition or conference, your customers need to find a way to make their brand stand out.
Visitors love freebies, so a brand has to make an impact in a potentially cluttered market-place.
The key is to make an item extremely use-able, quirky or a real essential.
SPS has a huge selection of items that are perfect as giveaways for these occasions.
For items that have a great practical use, look no further than the range of bottle open-ers, keyrings, shoppers and torches.
An SPS spokesman told PPD: “In particu-lar, for 2013, the Shopper Trolley Coin Keyring (pictured below) has made a fantastic impact in the promotional market, thanks to its novel
design and fantastic usability.” If you’re look-ing for something a bit quirky, you can’t go far wrong with a smart phone accessory, so why not take a look at The Bottle from SPS, a sili-cone phone prop, or the hugely popular Trum-pet, to really get a brand seen and heard!
And when it comes to an exhibition essen-tial, there’s always the promotional pen, and SPS have loads to choose from.
Whether you’re looking for metal, plastic, white, coloured, premium, budget or anything in between, the company reckons it has the perfect pen for you, including a large selection available with full-colour digital print.

ON AVERAGE there are 1.3 million events tak-ing place in the UK alone each year, including conferences and exhibitions, and the figure is continually growing to meet demand.
With such large numbers to cater for, it’s essential that the promotional merchandise being used and displayed is not only useful but also strong and durable, so that it can be retained and reused repeatedly.
There are a few “must have” items that al-ways need to be included in any checklist be-fore an event starts.
Andy Knight, Managing Director of CHX Products, told PPD: “Prior to any exhibition or conference opening its doors, many exhib-itors, staff and attendees will reach into their briefcases and handbags and take out their ID Card Holder – an essential tool of the trade.
“For those that exhibit or attend events reg-ularly and need to clearly show their individ-ual and company name, it is imperative they have a robust ID card holder.
“Indeed, our ID card holders are one of the most popular items within our product range, not only because they are rigid in design but also as they are made from recycled and bio-degradable plastic.”
The holders can be printed in full colour with several base colours also available includ-ing white, red and blue and offer a generous print area of 65 x 40mm. Andy added: “It isn’t just displaying identification that’s important to get right. On stand attractions also need due care and attention. They are necessary to not only attract people to the stand, but also act as a reminder that they did.
“One item that is universally popular as an on stand giveaway with visitors and exhibitors alike, regardless of the theme of the exhibition or conference, is a shaped keyring, which can often be found on many sets of keys after the event has taken place.
“The more unusual and unique the design, the more likely the keyring will stay on the set of keys, ensuring the owner is regularly being exposed to the branding and messaging being displayed.”
CHX offers a wide selection of shaped key-rings within its portfolio of products including house, laptop, telephone and t-shirt designs, and provides three different fitting options in-cluding split ring, ball chain and zip clip.
All the keyrings are available in full colour with a white base and have double-sided printing for company logos to be added prom-inently. More details are available by visiting ppda.co.uk/chx

Novelties with a lasting appeal for showgoers
Key items help you to stand out
THE PEN is a classic, popular exhibition giveaway being cost-effective, functional, high impact and a well-re-ceived way to get a brand or
message across. After all, cus-tomers and prospects always
need pens and so are happy to take and use them.
The entry-level Dart retract-able ballpen pen from Senator is a
budget pen which comes, says the company, without the quality com-promise.
With a wealth of colour options including white, orange, pink, blue and green, and a choice of solid or translucent finish, the Dart has a distinctive clip styling that makes it stand out from the crowd.
The signature clip and sleek bar-
rel offers ample space for branding and the pen is fitted with an X20 black ink refill for superior writing performance. The Dart can also be Pantone colour-matched from as little as 5,000 pieces.
Melissa Chevin, Director of Mar-keting UK at Senator, told PPD: “The ideal exhibition stand give-away is one that has longevity and that will act as a reminder of the brand to the customer or prospect.
“Giving away a product that isn’t going to be kept and used simply doesn’t make sense.
“It is vital to choose a quality product that reflects well on the company giving it away, and the Dart pen does just that.”

FED UP with being unable to meet the demand for printed popper wallets, James Woodward looked East for a reliable supplier of the popular wallet.
That’s the East Midlands, in the form of Nottinghamshire-based PlasTech Print (PTP).
The company was able to print up to four spot colours with close registration onto the product and that was the start of the success story.
Other stationery products fol-lowed and now PTP fields a strong line up of products, from clip-boards to desk name plates.
If clients need “named prod-ucts”, PTP works closely with Rapesco and Snopake to offer a “one stop shop” for printed statio-nery products.

Odds-on? They both win!MARKETING Week Live took place at the end of last month at London’s Olympia, and the bpma used its “What are the odds?” theme to create a fun and engaging stand.
Within the bpma merchandise area, there was also the bpma seminar room, which hosted the debate “Digital v Traditional Mar-keting – which works best?”
The panellists for this included, on the side of digital, James Pais, Managing Partner at Fabrika, and Chris Hyland.
Fighting for the more integrat-ed approach or traditional, along with myself, were Nick Adams, Managing Director of Sense, and Andy Thorne of Outstanding Branding.
The “traditional” team were able to demonstrate some ex-cellent stats over the two days, demonstrating return on invest-ment and engagement offline.
Through our work at The Sourc-ing Team, and also within the ma-terial I have presented to the IPM Diploma students, there are some great numbers to support tradi-tional marketing campaigns.
They include the PG Tips Mon-key Campaign. It’s objective was to drive loyalty and sales over a four-week period – the result was 285% uplift in sales over two
weeks rather than four. Then there was Clark’s footwear
in-store campaign in Spain, which through the use of promotional merchandise, increased sales of women’s products by 264% and men’s by 456%.
All parties agreed that actually, digital and traditional work ex-tremely well together, and it is no longer about one vs the other.
The key is finding the right solution, be it digital, traditional or a combination, depending on the target market, budgets and objectives of the campaign.
As James said: “Digital is chang-ing all the time, whereas tradi-tional has been the same for the last 30 years.”
I guess that’s true in principle but I would argue that all market-ing disciplines have become far more sophisticated and joined up.
Data came up in the discussion a number of times. All panellists agreed that email has become a major irritant, mainly due to poor use of data.
Digital, well-targeted, can be incredibly engaging, driving traf-fic or consumers to a call to action quickly.
Where will we be in the next three years? Well, looking at how the digital again has developed over the last three, who knows – but it will be an exciting space to watch!
Direct mail had some good ar-guments for and against in the traditional arena.
James talked about Royal Mail
seeing a rise in quality targeted direct mail – perhaps in response to the backlash against the junk that all too frequently lands on our doormats.
Andy talked about using prod-ucts in the campaigns and how some of his own campaigns using merchandise had delivered excel-lent results – measured against an email campaign that didn’t.
We have produced some won-derful DM campaigns for our cli-ents and in our experience, whilst this can be costly, it can deliver huge results, particularly if you measure the customer lifecycle.
Clearly, we are all together on the fact that digital and traditional work best together – but for a bit of entertainment we were happy to slug it out!
WELL, good morning everybody and welcome to another exciting round of “Muppet Quest” – our seemingly endless challenge to find those customers who bring just a little extra sunshine into our day by being the dumbest &%*£$ we can find.
This issue’s uber-muppet has been sent in by a regular follower of my articles.
Even though I don’t imagine she would mind my naming her, as she didn’t specifically give me permission, we’ll have to keep it anony-mous. It reads as follows: “We received an or-der from a well-known computer company. As always, they had left it to the last minute, so I processed it straight away.

“Oh dear... I then had to explain that it was like the saying “I’m doing it as we speak”, but that I had changed it to type as I was email-ing.”
As my correspondent points out, there real-ly is no helping some people.
Mind you, it seems only fair that I chime in with one of my own. Let’s be honest, if I weren’t in receipt of such gems like these, I never would have started this thing in the first place.
Now, don’t worry – I don’t plan to dedicate every column to dimwits these single-celled, cream cheese where their brains should be, soul destroying, wonder how they made it through the interview – probably their looks but then you don’t want to be too judgmental do you morons – but for now, let’s just enjoy it.
Mine comes from a client who has ordered some pin badges in the shape of a star with some text in the centre.
Nothing overly complicated about that. We provided the proof and they were happy, but then they asked for one tiny amendment: “Could you put a pink outline around the badge (so it looks like a star)?”
Now, just to be clear, it’s a star shape – OK? It’s in the actual shape of a star!
How the 3825 (for the texters out there) is a pink outline going to make it look more like a star? It’s the most star-looking it’s ever going to be! Aaargh!
Fortunately, we pride ourselves on the ser-vice that we provide to our customers.
We may well go home screaming at night but ultimately, it’s our responsibility to suck it up, slap on a grin and simply answer the ques-tions put to us.
I’ve spoken in the past about taking our cus-tomers through a learning curve.
The more we guide them through our pro-cesses, the more likely they are to show us their appreciation by way of loyal business.
It’s important that we don’t lose sight of that, because the biggest enemy facing all of us is not the economy; it’s our own compla-cency.
There are hundreds of people out there just waiting for your customers to start shopping around. Simply reacting to their needs on an “as and when” basis is a recipe for disaster.
Show them that you’re thinking of them and that you’re grateful to them, and they will re-turn.
But don’t you lot think for one second that I am going soft on the stupid people – they’re out there, and they need to be exposed for the crayon-munching morons that they are.

I WAS asked by a distributor the other day if I had any ad-vice for getting into a niche market they’d identified for their services – let’s just say it was law firms.
It was an informal chat but be-tween us, we came up with this list, which I thought might be helpful for any B2B prospecting activity. We’re working on the as-sumption that we generally know who the businesses are, but not the best person to speak to, so the first port of call is identifying the key contact.
Trade Show Exhibitor / Visitor Lists
There’s a good chance that your targets either exhibit at, or attend, specialist shows for their industry.
Purchasing or renting the ex-hibitor / visitor list from the show organiser is a great way to gain a named contact and email ad-dress.
If your targets are exhibiting, there’s merit to having a booth too because it makes it easier to sell to the booths around you if you’re a fellow exhibitor. They’re there to sell, not buy, but if you’re exhibit-ing, you can catch them at a quiet point, exchange business cards, and forge that first contact.
LinkedIn is like Facebook for business people. If you or any member of your team has a large network of friends, peers, ac-quaintances etc, you can use their connections to access a wider network of potential clients – just a contact name, but that’s all you need to start.
Cold calling
I don’t know anyone who loves cold calling but once you’ve iden-tified a company that’s a good match for your services, there’s no substitute for picking up the phone and asking who the best person is to speak to, then calling back a day later and asking for that person.
Referrals
People often stay within an in-dustry when they switch jobs, so many of your existing customers will have contacts in previous em-ployers who might be a good fit for your services.
I’d definitely suggest capital-ising on these connections – you could offer them a referral fee or just send them a bottle of wine.
Plan – and make that connection
Media partnerships
If your niche is big enough, they’ll have their own equivalent of the bpma, or a trade bible like PPD magazine.
Explore whether you can place an advert to their readership / members, and potentially pig-gy-back off their credibility with-in the industry. Consider print adverts, leaflet inserts, or online banner advertising.
Once you’ve got a named con-tact, we brainstormed ways of getting hold of that person. Your biggest problem is the gatekeep-er – I field calls for our COO and I very rarely put anyone through to him!
We concluded that polite per-sistence was the best way forward, albeit not a magic wand solution.
A letter sent to the named con-tact a couple of days in advance could help as a door opener – “I’m calling to follow up on...”
To make sure that letter gets opened, try hand-addressing the envelope. Happens so rarely these days, I’m always excited to see one!
We also discussed the impor-tance of researching the specific company before making the call.
For example, the other day, I got a call from a guy who, without much preamble, said: “I can see you’re advertising on Monster for new members of staff, and you’ll have paid about $300-$400 for that service.
“We’ll post any future jobs to Monster and a further 15 other job boards for $295.”
Well informed, didn’t ramble on, and a compelling proposi-tion – he’s the first cold caller I’ve bought from, ever.
It’s not rocket science, but hav-ing a plan of attack rather than just picking up the Yellow Pages can definitely pay dividends.

I RECENTLY stumbled upon some archived readings. One, from Investor’s Business Dai-ly, struck me as particularly brilliant.
As I read the article, several events from my life brought each point full circle for me; here are my thoughts...
How you think is everything
My daughter and I were in-volved in a pretty serious accident several years ago. When the car finally stopped rolling I realised very soon that it was totalled.
My daughter, 16 years of age, looked at me and said: “Dad, we’re both OK and safe... and it’s just a car. We can get another new car.”
I learned from that lesson that there are many ways to view a sit-uation – choose wisely.
Remember your roots
Think back to where you were. Things may have been better but I

reckon that if you look hard, things today are much better. When we take a moment to see from where we have come, and where we are today, those thoughts should give us inspiration to move forward.
Additionally, that retrospective view should bring tolerance and compassion for those less fortu-nate than you.
Make your dreams your goals
Take the dreams you have today and plant them as future goals; stop wishing and start doing.
I had a friend who was seriously in debt. I remember having a chat with him, and he mentioned that he had this dream of being out of debt; not owing a soul.
He mentioned that “now was the time to put a plan together and work that plan” and remark-ably, 10 months later, my friend’s dream had been realised – so can yours!
Never stop learning
Once you have knowledge, ap-ply it. A good friend of mine, Barry Roberts, once observed: “Knowl-edge without action is useless.”
Applied knowledge, if used in a positive way, can lead to re-markable discovery. Never, ever feel you are too old or too tired to learn.
Be persistent and work hard/smart
You need to do both. Speaker Jim Tunney told the story of per-sistence and hard work when he spoke about the Chinese Olympic diver He Zi and her rigorous train-ing schedule.
He summed it up pretty suc-cinctly: “Four years of training, every day for seven hours a day, up and down the ladder, dive after dive – just for her final dive of less than three seconds.” That puts things into perspective.
Learn to analyse the details at both levels
What you do today – the micro things – how will they affect the big picture? And what about the big picture or macro plans? How will they affect what you do or what you put into action today? Think both micro and macro to keep things on track.
Focus your time and money
“Time is money.” No truer statement has been made, and your thoughts, ideas and hard work all have value.
Place a cost on your time. If you do not value your time, how can you expect others to do so?
Don’t be afraid to innovate
Change is inevitable, don’t fight it. Always be in a mode of evolu-tion. Take a moment to Google
the evolution of various brands – Apple, IBM, UPS, FedEx – just do it, and see how these companies are always in the mode of change and innovation. Remember, if you’re not different, then you’re the same.
In his quest to invent the light bulb, Thomas Edison failed more than 1,700 times – or, as he put it: “I found 1,700 ways not to make a light bulb.” How far will you go?
Deal and communicate effec-tively
Effective communication is the number one thing you can do to propel your business forward.
How you deal and communi-cate with your staff, clients and vendors will indeed lead to your success or failure – it’s up to you.
Are you an effective commu-nicator? A good way to tell is, do people seek out your thoughts and opinions? Do people find you receptive?
A big part of being an effective communicator is being an effec-tive listener; an active listener.
You’ve seen the people that seem to be listening but actu-ally mind-drift and cut you off mid-sentence. Develop good lis-tening skills and be open to all possibilities.
Be accountable
This one is tough. Pointing the finger inward rarely happens. Imagine if more people took re-sponsibilities for their actions – amazing things would happen.
Being accountable means tak-ing control of your actions and accepting the good with the bad as a result.
My former partner Peter Bar-blett said to me once (actually, more than once): “Cliff, you must be hard on yourself – because no one else will; people are lazy.
“Remember that if you do something 100 times correctly and then, on the 101st time, you do it wrong, the first 100 times don’t matter”.
I make it a point to always look inwardly first; and I’ve made that a habit. It wasn’t easy at first but now, I must say it helps me focus on becoming better and better ev-ery single day.
Take a moment to review these tenets, how did you score? If you keep these thoughts in the fore-front and work to master these and hone them daily, you can’t help but be successful.

Bin there, done that? Nervous wait for AppleWOULD you buy a computer that looks like a bin? Apple is pretty much betting the farm that plenty of people will do just that, later this year.
The bin in question is actually the next generation of Apple’s top of the range Mac Pro line, and it was unveiled by vice-president Phil Schiller at the company’s re-cent Worldwide Developers Con-ference (WWDC).
The innovative design uses components mounted in a cylin-der around a central cooling vent.
Apple’s blurb reads: “Engi-neered around workstation graphics with dual GPUs, PCI Express-based flash storage, high-performance Thunderbolt 2, new-generation Xeon processors, ultrafast memory, and support for 4K video, the new Mac Pro deliv-ers state-of-the-art performance across the board.”
However, that will probably mean nothing to the non-nerds out there – so why is this new ma-chine so important for the com-pany?
Quite simply, while Apple turned consumer’s heads and charmed even the PC diehards with the new wafer thin iMacs and lightweight Macbook Airs, the “power users” champed at the bit and accused the compa-ny of deserting them. The current Mac Pro – as imposing a hunk of aluminium as you ever clamped eyes on – remained unloved and un-updated (is that a word?) for years.
Who are these power users? For those not in the know, the Apple platform (and the Mac Pro in par-ticular) has, for many years, been the default choice of both high-end film and video editors, and of the big recording studios.
These are the kind of people who require a lot of “horsepower” from their Mac – they’re not just editing the odd spreadsheet or watching Netflix. They’re record-ing 48 simultaneous channels of audio, or rendering hours of CGI footage at a time.
A small minority, for sure – so why do their opinions matter? Simply because it’s this upper echelon which has helped Apple to arrive at its upmarket niche in the first place. If the com-pany is perceived as being too “mass-consumer”, some of that sparkle will rub off.
So how has the new Mac Pro been going down with its intend-
ed target market? I think it’s fair to say the jury is still out.
On the positive side, it looks one hell of a beast, and the “wastepa-per bin” design is undoubtedly a head-turner – particularly for the aspirational users lower down who will either never need such a beast, or be able to afford it.
The professionals are less eas-ily swayed, however. Their main concern is while the current Mac Pro is a huge beast, it is extremely expandable within the case itself.
However, if you want to add an array of additional disk storage to the new Mac Pro (and it’s aimed at buyers who are going to need to do just that), then you’ll have to run a Thunderbolt interface lead out to external units.
The same goes for optical disks. I don’t know about you, but I’m not yet in a position where I can ditch the CD/DVD writer from my computer – current Mac Pro users commonly have two or three such drives housed in their main unit.
Pretty soon, that compact little “bin” will begin to look more like a telephone exchange.
Another concern is that the graphics cards appear to be inte-gral to the machine and, unlike the current Mac Pro, does not ap-pear to be upgradeable.
This may not matter now, when the factory installation represents substantial processing power, but we all know how each iteration of software consumes more process-ing power than the last.
In the post-Jobs era, it’ll be a nervous wait as Apple gets ready for these machines to hit the streets.

WHEN your customers are choosing their branded promo-tional products, it’s important that the print quality and colour reproduction showcases their logo in the best possible light.
SPS has experts in all aspects of printing – from screen and pad printing to litho print and engrav-ing.
There’s a whole host of brand-ing options to choose from. Plus, all products are branded on-site at SPS’s Blackpool facility, allow for very short lead times.
One of the biggest trends with promotional products in recent years has been the introduction of digital print and SPS claims to have been at the forefront of the promotional industry with this in-novative branding method.
A spokesman for the compa-ny told PPD: “Our investment in several digital print machines has meant that we now have greater capacity, meaning quicker lead-times and an even greater selec-tion of products to choose from.”

DUNELM Glass can now decorate using 24-carat gold. Adding class and sophistication to any crystal or glass product, it will certainly ensure your customer’s branding gets noticed.
A spokesman for Dunelm told PPD: “It’s great to be able to ex-plain our decorating methods to your readers, as it processes can be quite daunting for custom-ers to understand and pass on to their customers.”
Here’s a run-down of Dunelm’s personalisation methods.
Traditional sandblast engraving
Personalised by sandblasting the surface of the glass, this is a traditional skill of engraving and has been around for decades, it is quite dated and Dunelm rarely
uses this now. It’s hard to hit fine detail and can be very time-con-suming. With customers ever-in-creasing artwork demands, usu-ally this is not an option for them.
Inverted engraving
Instead of removing the glass surface by the traditional method
of sandblasting, this speciality of Dunelm’s process consists of ap-plying crushed glass to the prod-uct.
This is then fired on to the surface of the glass at high tem-peratures, resulting in a finished design as permanent as standard engraving but with the added ad-vantage of allowing Dunelm to achieve the finest of detail, along with the added flexibility in terms of design, for example photo-graphic imagery and using half tones etc. The spokesman added: “Due to our passion for perfec-tion, we would strongly advise this method.”
Colour inverted engraving
This method uses the same process as inverted engraving, but colour is added to the artwork to achieve the desired results.
Due to the high tempera-tures used, exact Pantone colour matching is impossible to guaran-tee, but Dunelm says it does come “extremely close”.
The spokesman said: “Some colours are notoriously difficult, such as pinks and purples, so colour work is always subject to sight of artwork.
“We can use lots of colour variances to achieve the desired results – and those results are all permanent and impact-resistant.
“Inspiration is at the forefront of every product we craft, from bespoke handmade items to ‘off-the-shelf’ products.
“We have a product range to suit any requirement and can tai-lor to meet every budget, to give your event that special boost.”

THE PEN Warehouse has rolled out direct digital printing on both round and curved pens.
A spokesman for the company told PPD: “We are all very aware of the limitations of both conven-tional printing, and even direct digital printing, when it comes to marking round or curved pens in full-colour photographic images.
“Transfer printing can produce a high quality image but is no good for small orders.
“Direct digital printing is great for small orders but has a very limited print height on a curved barrel – usually restricted to 4-6mm to avoid ‘misting’ and dis-tortion.”
The Pen Warehouse can now print round pens with an artwork height of up to 10mm.
This new process is not limited to just cylindrical barrels but can also cope with compound shaped pens such as the Pen Warehouse’s recently-launched Contour Digi-tal Ballpen.
As well as increasing the print height around the barrel of the pen to a size it claims is un-matched by any other supplier, The Pen Warehouse has also im-proved print quality to provide what the company says is “sig-
nificantly higher definition and vibrancy”.
The Pen Warehouse has also in-troduced direct full-colour digital printing on round pencils with an “unrivalled” print height of 6mm. This service is now available on the company’s Standard NE and WE pencils.
Rob Hayes, Marketing Manager at The Pen Warehouse, told PPD: “Being able to offer full-colour digital printing onto pens with a cylindrical barrel shape is an exciting innovation for The Pen Warehouse.
“With over six years experience of full-colour digital technology, we could have opted to launch this range long before today.
“However, we understood that to earn buy-in from our distrib-
utors for this initiative, we need-ed to deliver a print area that far surpassed any of the limited areas currently available.
“With selected lines in the full-colour range offering print ar-eas up to 10mm in height, we are confident we are delivering this solution.
“Our unmatched technical capabilities in full colour digital printing puts The Pen Warehouse at the cutting edge of promotional marking.
“We expect to be announcing further ground-breaking services very shortly, to ensure that the distributors that support us are able to provide a unique offering to their customers.”

PRINTING & DECORATING

Artful approach to printSCREENWORKS really showed they were masters of their art when they recreated modern masterpieces such as Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, pictured, and exhibited them at the Trade Only National Show 2013.
The pieces used a unique com-bination of advanced decoration techniques.
Sales Director Matt Daines told PPD: “This just shows what is possible when you understand the tools of your trade, and have the experience to have become a practiced master.
“Of course, these treatments wouldn’t be cost-effective for most campaigns but it is interest-ing to see what is possible.”
Screenworks can give specialist advice on decorated apparel to help you meet your clients’ spec-ification. Here’s a run-down of printing methods:
Screen printing
Traditional screen printing is the best technique for vibrant, crisp colours, and it generally
achieves better quality and allows finer detail than other processes. Screen-printed clothing can be washed at 40C.
Direct-to-garment
This is the newest form of dig-ital printing. It is a process that allows for full-colour images to be printed directly in a resolution of up to 1200dpi.
The print will show exactly as you see on screen with no inter-
pretation in the reproduction. This process produces results quicker than traditional silk screening (usually just a matter of minutes).
Discharge printing
This printing technique bleaches then re-dyes the fabric, producing vivid colours and an extremely soft feel. When com-bined with water-based inks multi-colour, vibrant prints are possible. Maked sure your chosen supplier is experienced, as not all garments are dischargeable and not all garments will discharge the same, even within the same run or box of garments.
Transfer printing
Transfer printing is a printed process that uses heat technology. Designs are printed onto special release paper, which are then heat applied with a specially designed heat press.
There are two types – multi-co-loured screen printed transfers and vinyl transfers, ideal for small runs.
Foil, metallic and glitter
Foil-stamping is a special effect that gives a brilliant metallic fin-ish. It can be applied to almost any garment that withstands the heat and curing process of typical screen-printing. Metallic produc-es a more matt foil finish.
Flock, puff and high build
Raised, 3D effects can be achieved with specialist finishes.
Simulated Process
A 12 colour simulated process prints photo-realistic designs onto coloured garments. When done correctly, simulated process prints give a photographic repro-duction.
Embroidery
Embroidery really creates a styl-ish impression when combined with the right type of garment. Individual designs can make use of up to 15 coloured threads and it offers the possibility of bespoke positions. More details are avail-able at ppda.co.uk/screenworks
COMPANY FOCUS

Brainstorm that led Tim to a festive business life IT ALL began with an “around the kitchen table idea”. What promotional item could you send out at Christmas, as an alternative to the corporate card?
The brief was: Christmassy, in-expensive, brandable and, above all, kept. The answer? The busi-ness bauble.
Tim Cadel’s idea was the launchpad for his company of the same name.
He told PPD: “The product con-cept was researched, suppliers sought and phone calls made to the Christmas buyers at Harrods and Notcutts – who both refused to divulge their bauble suppliers!” However, a visit to the UK Christ-mas Trade Fair brought Tim into contact with the German glass bauble manufacturer he has now worked with for the past decade.
Tim recalls: “We launched at In-centive World, held in Earls Court in 2003.
“Our first client was Kevin Thomas at Ultimate Incentive, for his very own Dragon with Santa hat baubles in a range of colours.”
Other early clients included The British Heart Foundation, Duran Duran, Holiday Inn, LG and Oxford University.
Two years later – after many phone calls asking if the company also supplied snowglobes – Tim decided it was time to be able to say “yes”. And so sister operation snowglobes.co.uk was born.
Again, Tim’s outfit chose to partner with a well-established, family-owned German suppli-er. That partnership is now eight years old.
The snowglobes launched at a show at Birmingham’s NEC in 2005.
Tim says: “While we were build-ing our stand, we received the in-quiry that led to our first order.
The question was: could they make “rice snow” snowglobes for Oxfam and its Make Trade Fair Campaign, fronted by Coldplay’s Chris Martin? Tim’s supplier – “who always responds to a new
challenge” – came up with plas-tic “lookalike” rice snow and the globes were made and safely de-livered.
Like many businesses, eco-re-sponsibility has very much come to the front of the agenda in recent years and in 2011 Tim launched his eco baubles, making Christmas decorations out of re-cycled yoghurt pots.
“Since then, we have added wooden baubles made from olive tree trimmings from Bethlehem and recycled newspaper papi-er-mache baubles from Kashmir.”
Appropriately enough, the company’s first customer for its recycled yoghurt pot baubles
were the cubs and beaver move-ments.
Motive Votives – a more suc-cinct name for branded tea light holders – was next to launch, at the Trade Only National Show in 2012.
The company now has a com-plete range of candle products in-cluding branded bags, tins and its new “light-a-logo lighthouses” – a branded wrapper for a tealight.
That’s a lot of diversity from one, original idea. So perhaps it’s not surprising that to celebrate his 10th year in business, Tim has brought all the products under one name – Festive Promotions.
Tim added: “Our aim now is to provide a one-stop shop for everything festive for the promo-tional merchandise industry.
“Our new sub-brand – Festive Fun – will include all our new brandable festive promotion-al products, including badges, crackers, cookie cutters, santa hats, sweets, tinsel (which can be Pantone-matched), trees (in-cluding a ‘grow your own’ item), stockings and many more festive fun products. Since we launched, we have appealed to a wide and varied clientele with an amazing client list.”
It’s certainly diverse – it in-cludes the NSPCC, Capital Radio, Donny Osmond, Jamelia, Virgin, Epsom racecourse, the Old Vic, Canterbury Cathedral and Co-ca-Cola, to name but a few.
“We are a small, approachable and friendly team,” Tim added, “and we look forward to working with customers old and new in this, our 10th anniversary year – and in the years to come.”
‘While we were building our stand, we received the inquiry that led to our first snow globe order’

Versatile product that’s just right for your brandWITH all the choice in the clothing market, it’s some-times easy to forget the little gems.
Aprons are great sellers with no season, so a good all-year-round product.
There are many different kinds to choose from – bib aprons with and without pockets, bar aprons of various lengths and even aprons that can be adapted from bib to bar.
Black and white aprons are the most popular but some brands have up to 40 different colours available, so you are very likely to be able to closely match a compa-ny’s logo. There are some lovely bright colours, which really do make a logo or slogan stand out.
Normally, the aprons will be available in ether 100% cotton or 65% cotton-35% polyester in var-ious weights.
Establish the use of the aprons and just check that they are suit-able for an industrial wash if
heavy use is likely. Some will have a wrinkle-resis-
tant finish, which could be quite useful.
If for a promotion, there are styles specifically manufactured for one-off promotions which are very cost-effective.
There are the obvious tradition-
Tracy Richards
al uses for aprons such as front of house in pubs, bars and restau-rants and to use while serving food, but beyond this they can be used as a great add-on sale.
Many companies will have in-ternal catering, and to add on to traditional uniform sales, they are a great product for exhibition staff and also many schools and clubs will have teams of people who volunteer in the kitchen or cook on their barbecues.
Aprons are also great pres-ents – a nicely-packaged decorated apron is an easy purchase in the gift shop when leaving a visitor at-traction.
And of course, don’t for-get the humerous expres-sions and slogans you’ll find on many aprons in re-tail and internet stores.
My favourite? “When a women says ‘what’, it’s not because she couldn’t hear you – she’s giving you a chance to change what you said...”

IF DEVELOPMENTS in the early part of the 21st Century are anything to go by, the digital age could prove to be a much-needed shot in the arm for British leathergoods manufactur-ers and their distributors – not least in the area of bespoke folders and manuals.
Abbeygate Leathergoods (formerly Nevada Leathergoods) uses the leather skills associ-ated with Walsall for over 200 years, and has combined them with significant investment in the latest digital print equipment.
The company now offers full-colour print on all types of leather and PU folders, as well as its range of paper printed products.
This combination brings with it the possi-bility of very detailed personalisation on each individual folder, as well as changing detail on
every single page when desired. Abbeygate says that this individuality, flexibility and quick turnaround has attracted a number of orders that, in the recent past, would almost certainly have gone to the Far East or India.
One such example is a recent order, created for a luxury boat maker who wanted around 100 bespoke folders each year to hold an own-er’s manual, with covers to match their corpo-rate colour.
By manufacturing the folders in Pan-tone-matched recycled leather and offering the option of holding a stock of the folders in-house and printing off a personalised manual every time a boat was sold, the order was se-cured.
The inclusion of the new owners name
and details on the first page of each manual, including other unique details such as serial number of each boat, added value to the sale of each boat.
Other markets that are providing similar or-ders include luxury car manufacturers, house builders, hotel chains and financial institu-tions.
An Abbeygate spokesman told PPD: “We work closely with our distributors to develop exactly the right folder, manual or binder to fit the occasion.
“We are proud of our heritage, and excited by the opportunities the fast-developing new technologies keep providing.”

FOR A folder that scores high marks in terms of both style and functionality, Senator offers its best-selling Skuba A5 folder.
The company reckons this product offers all the office essen-tials in one place, and it can now be branded using a variety of new techniques.
The folder is ideal for profes-sionals on the move, ensuring they are organised at all times and ready for the day ahead. It fea-tures a business card holder, pen loop, white paper pad and Dart Clear ballpen.
The Skuba A5 folder has a tac-tile feel, being made from a flex-ible and durable vinyl material, and comes in a range of colours including orange, red, blue, green and black.
As well as standard screen print, many other unique brand-ing options are also available on the folder including the new holo-graphic print. Intricate logos and photorealistic imagery can also be achieved with digital printing.
The A5 folder is part of the Skuba writing accessories range, which also features other popular products including pen sleeves, A4 folders and the myCase, which is compatible with the iPad 2.
Melissa Chevin, Marketing Manager at Senator UK, said: “With people in business being busier than ever, staying organ-ised and keeping on top of things is paramount.
“The Skuba A5 offers every-thing professionals need on the go and with its style and extensive branding options, it is a must-have accessory.”

THERE are six folders in the Pickering range available from Bags HQ.
The range starts with the Pick-ering Basic A4 Folder which in-cludes a document and business card holder, elasticated pen loop and 25-sheet notepad.
There is also a smaller, more compact option in the form of the Basic A5 Folder.
The other folders in the Picker-ing range all have tablet holders, doing away with the need to carry a separate case for that technolo-gy and gathering all the essentials for a meeting in one neat, com-pact package.
The Oversized A4 Zipped Fold-er comes with the standard doc-ument and business card holder, elasticated pen loop and 25-sheet note pad. This one also has an elasticated flash drive holder and a tablet holder.
The next model up (A4 Zipped Calculator Folder) has the same features but also includes a cal-culator.
Just when you thought it wasn’t possible to pack in any more fea-tures, the Oversized A4 Zipped Ring Bound Folder includes a tab-let holder, document folder, busi-ness card holder, elasticated pen loop, elasticated flash drive hold-er and 25-sheet note pad. The ring binder makes it even easier to transfer notes to and from your folder.
The daddy of the range is the Pickering Deluxe folder, which packs in all the features of the Oversized A4 Zipped Ring Bound Folder with the added benefit of having extendable carry handles.
All folders in the Pickering range are available in black and are made from PU.

No change in demand at last minute – GeorgeCONFERENCE products have changed dramatically over the past few years – especially folders, reckons Adproducts.com boss George Good-fellow.
“Several years ago, all conference folders were either black or navy,” George recalls. “Now, they are available in bright neon colours and are eco-friendly, of course. So this year, let’s hope we can look forward to a colourful, climate-friendly con-ference season and just make sure it can be delivered quickly!”
George added: “You would imagine that most conferences and events are booked and ar-ranged well in advance, often 12 months ahead.
“So why is it that the majority of orders for conference prod-ucts are placed at the last mo-ment?
“We have to accept that’s the way it is – and have a wide range of products available to be printed and despatched within a few days.
“Without doubt, the other growing trend is towards eco-friendly gifts. Most popular conference items are bags and folders sourced from non-woven material, obtained from old plastic bottles. Pens and give-aways made from recycled plastic are also in demand.”

MITREPRIZE offers a wide range of folders and accessories in its designer range of executive gifts, and this year the company’s Nina Ricci collection of folders offers even more choices, in sizes from A4 down to a compact A7.
For the ladies, there is a stylish white leather A5 folder, a bit dif-ferent from the usual designs, that makes a statement all by itself.
It can be dual branded with the client’s logo neatly and subtly em-bossed, with additional personal-isation opportunities on, and in, the presentation box.
Meanwhile, the Nina Ricci En-trelac suite of folders is available in A4, A5, A6 and A7 sizes. All are made from high quality leather,
with 40 sheets of paper included in a notepad format.
Other styles available include a more substantial “theatre” ver-sion, an A4 brown leather two and a half page opener with a A5 ver-sion also available, or have a look at the A6 manuscript black leath-er folder incorporating a 40-page notepad folder – again, this is a two and half page opener.
The collection also includes more traditional A4 conference folders in both PU and real leather from £18.35 plain stock, and real leather, in both black and brown, all containing 40 sheets of paper.

WHEN discussing with any-one changes to the industry, three topics inevitably ap-pear at the top of the agen-da – technology, the internet and China.
Dealing directly with the Far East once seemed like the foun-tain of plenty. For some, it was; for others, it brought heart ache and loss.
Many companies in the indus-try have developed strong rela-tionships in China, others have even bought or bought into com-panies there.
The China advantage has somewhat waned today – rising prices, water shortages, increased labour costs and the fact that most suppliers and distributors have learned to understand the market have all further reduced any advantage.
The rise of the web and relat-ed technology has brought many changes.
Web-based businesses have sprung up which mainly compete on price.
Technology such as Promo-serve, Technologo, Vision and TradeOnlySearch.com has sped up the professionalisation of the entire industry and enabled ef-ficient business and customer management, cost-cutting and
Getting on board for the industry’s next big wave
time-saving. So what’s the talk on the telegraph now?
Still technology, that’s for sure; evolving and improving all the time.
There’s still plenty of discus-sion about how social media and digital marketing are affecting the industry, and the more tradition-al advertising and promotional methods.
But for me, the buzz nowa-days seems to be all about rela-tionships – and not just between distributors and suppliers, and between distributors and end-us-er buyers. A few years back, in the light of technological ad-vances and the development of
trade with both the Far East and the Indian Sub-Continent, I did question if there would be a place for distributors businesses long-term.
But in fact, what we have seen is the distributor’s role and mar-ketplace evolving.
There’s a lot of Darwinism go-ing on – survival of the fittest, and specifically survival of those who change.
Some distributors are find-ing specialist niches; the online, price-driven companies for a start.
Others specialise in supplying certain product ranges, or partic-ular markets.
Some businesses are thriving based on their excellent person-al service. Other companies still are becoming more “full-service” organisations, where promotion-al products are only part of their market.
We often hear about compa-nies moving into the promotional sector from other areas looking for growth, but the reverse is also very true, with promotional com-panies selling and supplying into other market sectors to augment their businesses – printing and print management being the par-amount ones that immediately spring to mind. There’s £6 billion worth of business out there to be
done, compared to £1 billion in promotional products, and the contacts are often the same – so why not?
You will have read elsewhere in this issue about the new relation-ship between Fluid Branding and MadeToOrder.
In the last issue we reported on Proforma setting up a UK base and Gemaco buying into the UK. Inner Workings acquired Mer-chandise Mania last year. So is globalisation the route?
Certainly, it seems that there is a lot of interest in the UK pro-motional product marketplace from both the US and Europe at the moment. Others are likely to follow the lead of the businesses mentioned above.
Print Management compa-nies, and those offering affiliate programmes, already have made some headway into our industry and more will follow.
And it’s not just happening in the UK – large organisations are snapping up promotional and print business and partners worldwide; in Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, India and Australia in particular.
So, what are your thoughts on what our industry will look like in five years’ time? We’d love to hear your views – drop us a line at [email protected].
Love affair on the wane? The influences of the big Far East cities such as Shanghai have faded somewhat as business has become less simple.

Tigers get their paws on trophy in a thrilling finalTHE ALL-STAR team from bpma Tigers were the even-tual winners of the third PPD Football Cup.
With both last year’s champions Fluid Branding and the inaugural winners SPS both indisposed this year, it was certain there would be a new name on the cup for 2013 and it looked like anybody’s for the taking.
However, in the event, the Ti-gers were absolutely rampant, mauling all those who came their way and defeating Liquid Lens FC 3-2 in a thrilling, closely-fought final.
Will I Am FC battled through the plate competition and after defeating Preseli Strikers secured victory over BTC Red Sox.
Adam Harvey from Liquid Lens FC won the Golden Boot for most goals scored, with a total of 17).
PPD would like to thank all of the teams who took part and to the spectators who made the at-mosphere so lively.

New horizons opening up as visionaries join forces
Success story – MadeToOrder’s Rod and Barbara Brown
IT BEGAN – as so many things do in our industry – on the trade show floor. From the UK, Fluid Branding’s Matt Franks. From stateside, Rod Brown of MadeToOrder.
Matt recalls: “Rod and I first met through the work we do for our respective trade associations, and through meetings at trade shows in the US and Europe.”
The first of those, Rod says, was at PSI. “Matt had contacted us and wanted to know more about establishing some sort of a mar-keting partnership with our firm in the UK, and I’m very much in-terested in having international resources for my clients.”
However, like a lot of good ideas, it took a little time to really take off.
“Matt and I spent quite a lot of time together and then nothing really happened for a while, then he started making inquiries to us, so I said: ‘I’m coming over again – let’s get connected up at PSI, then why don’t you come over and em-bed with our entire sales team in Las Vegas at the PPAI Expo, and sit in on all of our planning sessions and really get to know our team?”
Matt says: “We were both run-ning established distributor companies with an ambition for growth, and with clients operat-ing in each other’s market, the advantages of collaborating and opening new opportunities were clear.”
So there was this immediate synergy between the two?
“Right,” agrees Rod, but adds a note of caution: “Our team had to get to know Matt and trust him personally and his company, or they’re not going to refer and en-trust our clients to them.
“It takes some time to figure out – is this someone you want to do business with and risk a very major client relationship with for sometimes a very small portion of the business.”
It also involved what Rod char-acterises as “a pretty invasive fi-nancial review of each company”.
He explains: “We have to have faith in one another that we have financial integrity to be able to handle the business, and that we’re not at risk in any way shape or form. I need to know that the people at the helm know how to
The promotional products industry is changing – the world is getting smaller all the time and as a result, companies separated by thousands of miles are beginning to work together. PPD Editor Aidan Goldstraw talked to Matt Franks and Rod Brown about their new, transatlantic partnership.
run an operation, and vice versa.”
“All this, to a certain degree, happened before Matt even got to PPAI Expo. Then I flew back over to the Trade Only National Show, and embedded over there for a number of days with Matt and his partner. We walked the show and talked to vendors together, and we looked for opportunities where we thought there was an interesting relationship to ex-plore.”
The outcome of this explora-tion was extremely positive for both men.
Rod told me: “A lot of our cus-tomers have EMEA (Europe, Mid-dle East, Africa) operations. We can source somewhat in the US and ship internationally but that’s not always what they want.
“They really want some in-country expertise and in any case, often the cost of interna-tional shipping is very great and the speed within which we can re-act is longer than they’d like.
“But they want our brand knowledge and they want our seal of approval on the deal – they want something that we will have vetted and be responsible for.”
Matt adds: “There are numer-ous advantages to both compa-nies with this arrangement.
“MadeToOrder are a great com-pany – they have an innovative structure and Rod leads them with both vision and drive.
“Fluid can learn much from Rod and his team, but we can both deliver more value to our clients with a joined up approach. Ultimately, that’s the main advan-tage to both companies – a stron-ger offering to our customers.”
So that was the theory; in prac-tice, it was slightly less straightfor-ward. As Rod freely admits: “We had to kiss a lot of frogs before we found a prince.
“But we finally got a significant client that’s expanding into Eu-rope that needed some road safe-ty kits – a $50,000 order.
“They needed them researched and to be to EMEA spec – when you’re talking about flares and fire extinguishers that are going into automobiles, they need to be a certain EMEA spec, and the infor-mation may not be easily gained by our team.
“So Matt’s team was able to put together the offer and proposal and close that deal.
“The end result was that our customer was thrilled that we could deliver the background in-formation, the rules and regula-tions, source and deliver within that country and make that prod-uct happen.
“That strengthens our US rela-tionship because they don’t have to go find somebody else. They can hand the assignment to us, we in turn hand it over to our Eu-ropean partner and they get an exceptional treatment rather than a US company trying to sort it all out.”
‘Our customer was thrilled that we could deliver the background information, source and deliver within that country and make that product happen’

Exciting future – Matt Franks of Fluid Branding
Matt agrees that bringing local knowledge and a presence “on the ground” in the different regions was a “huge factor” driving this new relationship.
“Global brands transcend geo-graphic boundaries, but the local divisions still need to operate ef-fectively in their respective envi-ronment.
“There are cultural differences that come into play within a local market, but the strategy, logistics, reporting etc still need bring-ing together consistently for the brand owner.
“Ideally, this would be taken care of internally by a client’s mar-keting team, but organisations of-ten operate independently from country to country. We can add real value by filling the gaps.”
As both men are keen to point out, this is far from a one-way re-lationship.
Rod again: “Cross-pollination is the key element – to look for those opportunities and bring what I call the implied endorsement of each other’s relationship to the parent company, or to the moth-ership.
“Similarly, Matt’s people can say: ‘We know your brand, we know what you like, we know this business – we’ll be making sure our partner in the US delivers to you in the style which you would like, and you have recourse back to us if something doesn’t go right or you’re not 100% pleased with it.’”
It helps, of course, that both companies have been big success stories in their own countries.
Matt continues: “Fluid have grown from a background of on-line marketing and smaller orders – dealing with large volumes of clients rather than larger, tradi-tionally managed accounts.
“We’ve always had a solid level of repeat business but we were geared more to ad-hoc transac-tional business.
“We’re not abandoning this model – in fact, we’re becoming more sophisticated at it, but we’ve also grown into a more balanced business in recent years, with larger accounts being won and developed with in-house account managers.
“We’ve always been tech-led, with in-house programmers and designers providing a platform for us to scale and manage the busi-ness very efficiently.”
“This approach has allowed us to build a really strong offering for our multi-national clients, which is an area we’ve been actively growing in recent years.
“It’s been a significant invest-ment in time and money, but it has given us the foundation to re-ally grow from.”
Rod’s own entry into the pro-motional gifts market was with perhaps the biggest US name of them all, Jack Nadel, back in the late 70s. At the end of the fol-lowing decade, Rod and his wife
Barbara formed The Harwood Company. And here’s another little UK hook-up for you – that company was named after Rod’s great-great-grandfather, who was once Lord Mayor of Manchester.
“Dad was a GI and married a war bride,” Rod explains.
At the turn of the century The Harwood Company was sold to a big, venture capital-backed oper-ation at the height of the dotcom boom.
Well, we all know how that story ends.
Rod nods: “It blew through tens of millions of dollars and fell apart. It crashed and we bought it back in 2003 for almost nothing – wrecked.”
But with Barbara now at the helm as CEO and Rod as CFO, Harwood – now sailing under the MadeToOrder banner – has gone from strength to strength.
Rod adds: “Our sales force own about 75% of the common stock of the company. That means you have very high performing sales people – they average a million dollars in revenue a year each.”
They also work on a commission-only basis, it should be noted.
So much for history – what are the main challenges of working together in this new partnership.
Matt says: “All the ingredients are there to allow both of us to flourish. I guess the challenge will be to exploit the strengths of both companies to make the most of opportunities that present them-selves.
“There are strong characters and cultural differences across both organisations – it’s sim-ply a case of individuals within the teams being aware of the strengths of each other and bring-ing them into play at the right time. Communication is key, both internally and externally.”
Rod agrees, but is fairly laid back about such a challenge.
“Email’s often something the last thing I’ll do at night at 11 o’clock, and then I’ll check it again on my iPad when I wake up, so the communications flow nev-er stops.
“Voicemails chase me around the world – I’m in Africa in two weeks and I’ll still get my voice-mail!”
Presumably, it’ll also involve yet more travel. Rod laughs. “Yeah, but I like to travel anyway, and see the world.
“As far as the logistics are con-cerned, we’re just moving infor-mation back and forth between the two companies, then each company will handle its own needs, generally speaking, within country. And we can move money anywhere it needs to go.”
So far, I point out, the promo-tional products industry is one sector which has remained fairly parochial, and largely immune to the phenomenon of globalisation. So does this partnership in some ways speak to the implied threat of that happening?
Matt responds: “Globalisation is affecting all industries and mar-kets, with global brands gaining ever more reach and demanding higher levels of service from their suppliers.
“Our industry is no differ-ent. We’ve always been global on our supply side, we’ve just been
slow to adopt a collaborative ap-proach to our clients.
“If we’re to properly service these global brands, we either need to grow across boundaries through merger and acquisition, organically by opening overseas offices, or we need to collaborate with like minded companies.
“This kind of partnership en-ables us to add strength and depth to our offering in an effective and manageable way.”
So will we ever see the equiva-lent of a Walmart bestriding the industry’s stage? Rod is somewhat more equivocal on that score.
“I wouldn’t say never – I think that’s always possible. But it’s a sticky business – it iterates forev-er. It’s not your normal pick, pack and ship operation.
“The minute you introduce art-work into anything, you’re into time measured in hours and days. ‘That colour’s not right, that size isn’t right...’ It’s changing, and changing, all the time.
“There’s no restocking this stuff. If you get it wrong – it’s trash.”
Both men say the type of col-laboration they’re involved with is – right now – fairly rare.
But both are convinced we’re going to see others going down the same path.
Matt concludes: “This kind of partnership is likely to grow over the next five years.
“I can see cross-boundary groups becoming more com-monplace also, making it easier for smaller companies to collab-orate.”
And for the future?“Who knows where this part-
nership will lead? With glo-balisation on the increase and technology bringing down com-munication and trade barriers, competition and opportunity are more prevalent than ever before.
“Business is more exciting and less predictable than I’ve ever known it, and I can’t wait to see what’s around the next corner.
“Those flexible and courageous enough to adapt to new oppor-tunities will be the organisations that flourish, and I believe we are well equipped for that.”
‘Global brands transcend geographic boundaries, but local divisions still need to operate effectively in their respective environment.’

HELLO, and welcome to the first of my regular slots! We’re starting with a bit about my own company, Premier Im-pressions – think of it as a bit of a refresher for those who know us – and an introduc-tion to those who don’t!
In 2014, Premier Impressions will be celebrating its 25th anni-versary and it has been an amaz-ing journey over the years. I’m not sure where they’ve gone, to be honest, but as they say: “Time flies when you’re having fun!”
One thing I do know is that we’re never complacent, and ev-ery day we are still learning and developing both our range of products and the services we of-fer.
I joined the company back in 1990, a year after it was formed, bringing with me the knowledge and experience that I’d learned about pens and branding during my 16 years with Parker Pens.
Our aim was to become the UK’s number one supplier of over-branding services by offer-ing excellent customer service, quick turn round, reliable on-time deliveries, and competitive prices – an aim I think we have achieved.
We set up initially in a small unit in Brighton with one tampo or pad printing machine, which we bought from Pentel Pens in Paris. The following year we in-vested in a Universal, semi-au-

tomatic screen printing machine capable of printing pens and cy-lindrical items, and a second one followed in 1990.
Next came a hand flat printer for bags and folders; a flat print machine for mint cards, lighters and small items, followed by a la-ser engraver for metal products.
Finally, about three years ago, we invested in digital print.
Of course, over the years, we have continually invested in the business by upgrading all of our machinery to keep up with the latest developments and to in-crease our production capacity to meet increasing demand.
Today, we have the greatest ca-pacity for over-branding of any other supplier in the industry, with over 100,000 prints per day.
Along the way, we moved to Ne-whaven and today have a team of 29 dedicated staff.
Whatever their job role, they are totally customer-focused and always go the extra mile to fulfil our customers’ requirements.
As we are continually evolv-ing, in 2011 we took the decision to offer product for the first time alongside the traditional brand-ing service.
In line with our philosophy for good quality, the products had be right, and we started with the fan-tastic range of Camelbak bottles.
In 2012 we added a range of quality metal and leather prod-ucts marketed under the brand Premier Product Sourcing, featur-ing desk items, key rings, torches.
As a testament to our quality print and service, for 2013 Newell Rubbermaid appointed Premier Impressions as the wholesaler for their range of Papermate pens, which was a real feather in our cap. Also this year we have intro-
duced the Sticky Notes range from PPW and are now busy printing these in Newhaven.
To help our customers gain a better understanding of what we do, we offer onsite training at our Newhaven facility and invite cus-tomers to bring their teams along to see all the processes in action.
We think our technical support and advice is second to none, so if you are not sure what the best branding method is for your product, just ask!
In fact, if you have any ques-tions about over-branding, or generally about the promotional merchandise industry, send an email to me at the address in my byline and I will try to answer it in a future column.
Having been in the industry for 39 years, I’ve picked up a thing or two during that time and am al-ways pleased to share my experi-ences and to help people improve their knowledge.

BTC ACTIVEWEAR has launched a new Delivery Timeslot Service with its partner DPD called “Pre-dict”, offering a convenient, in-teractive and productive way of tracking deliveries.
Orders placed online up to 9pm are delivered next morning as standard, and now customers will receive a one hour delivery timeslot e-mail or text notifica-tion, confirming when their deliv-ery will arrive.
Customers won’t have to hang around for deliveries any more
– they will even be informed of the driver’s name to be able to make contact with him or her, and to re-arrange their delivery if required, thus enabling them to make better use of their valuable time.
With DPD Predict, customers can also choose to send a deliv-ery timeslot notification to a col-league in their own organisation or directly to another recipient in the supply chain, so that they are kept informed and can resched-ule deliveries if required.
Notifications are entirely op-tional and completely free of charge to all BTC activewear cus-tomers, and for convenience all
existing customers have already been set-up.

Staff give new tee thorough road test
ALMOST everyone wears t-shirts, from children to adults of all ages, which explains their enduring ap-peal in the promotional clothing market.
But selecting the wrong process for printing your promotional message can produce a whole load of t-shirts that are not fit for purpose, warns Evolve Branding.
For clothing printers, one sig-nificant characteristic of screen printing is that a greater thick-ness of the ink can be applied to the material than is possible with other printing techniques.
This allows for some very cre-ative effects on printed t-shirts that are not possible using other printing methods.
Screen printing is the best pro-cess for large designs, producing a high quality finish with excellent clear definition.
Wherever possible, direct cloth-ing printing is always the best op-tion, but there is a growing market for transfer printing services as another option in garment deco-ration.
High quality and professional-ly-produced transfers are general-ly printed on a large format digital printer plotter and applied to a T-shirt using a high quality heat press to ensure perfect adhesion.
Transfer printing now also uses vinyl, available in many special effects including glitter, fluores-cent, foil, metallic and reflective, and with new ones being devel-oped all the time there is greater choice in fun finishes.
The benefits of transfers for clothing printing are shorter runs, lower costs and a faster process, but it is not always the best option for high volumes.

THE NANO brand of T-shirts has been taken under the wing of St-edman, and is available in the UK through Smartwares Printables.
“NANO powered by Stedman” features both the established NANO tee for men, as well as its newly-introduced counterpart for women.
These basic T-shirts have no la-bel and no print in the back – all you see is a little size label. The remaining free space is there for your client.
NANO comes in black and white with sizes from S to 2XL for men and up to XL for women.
The shirt’s 135 gsm fabric is made of 100% ring-spun cotton, giving it a softer texture than some comparable tees.
Ring-spun cotton is also more durable, which makes it a great choice for the production of casu-al clothing.
The durable nature of the ma-terial also makes it easier to care for and helps clothes keep their shape.
Like other items in the Stedman collection, the NANO T-shirts are WRAP and OEKO-TEX 100-certi-fied, and thus free of any harmful substances.

Professional to be the byword for our future
Gordon Glenister
PERCEPTION is everything. Heard that before? I am sure you have. I feel strongly about us creating a profes-sional image for our industry.
Some while ago, a previous in-dustry spokesperson referred to our industry as the Arthur Daley figure of the marketing mix.
We need to up our game – com-petition has never been more fierce, margins are eroding, there is increased activity from printers and stationers but most impor-tantly, there is the impact of oth-er marketing media, particularly digital.
I heard the other day that the whole Coke Zone consumer loyal-ty website is to be disbanded, Mc-Donald’s is doing fewer premiums – how many more?
So what do we need to do? Well, I think we start by en-
suring that we have a real pro-fessional image right through the business, which includes a well-designed website, catalogues with association logos, customer testimonials, videos of printing processes on the website, making the best use of industry research, consistently coming up with cre-ative ideas for clients, using the best CRM and IT processes.
Just as importantly, we also need to look very closely at the people in our businesses by en-suring that they are equipped to offer the very best in customer service and product knowledge.
The reason why we have in-vested so much in education is because we believe that a well-trained team provides real exper-tise to the customer, and in turn adds value to the business.
It’s not about winning business at all costs, or matching the price
– even if it’s a 10% margin. Traders don’t add value.
In time, I want marketers to only work with bpma-trained professionals, so that they see us as a real extension of their team.
This happens already with some of our members.
Last year at an industry lunch, I sat next to a US distributor and asked her about the qualification letters after her name on her busi-ness card.
I asked whether they made any difference.
“Absolutely,” she replied. “Even to those customers that didn’t know what they meant, it enabled me to elaborate on what I had to do to achieve it, and it gave them total confidence in working with me.”
So there you have it – working with professional distributors does, and will, make a difference.
For those of you who are not already enrolled in the bpma pro-gramme, don’t delay – it’s just £50 to sign up.
It’s your future – and ours.
Discount scheme’s proving a hitTHE “Green & Good” discount scheme, launched earlier this year by Everything Environmental, has seen the Ignite Group take up the popular marketing initiative suc-cessfully.
Ignite Group has 28 major dis-tributors within its group, many of which are industry leaders and 11 of which have a turnover in ex-cess of £1 million.
The scheme allows distributors to pass on heavy discounts to end users when ordering items from the Green & Good range.
Richard Pettinger, Director at Ignite Group commented: “Ev-erything Environmental has been our primary supplier of environ-mental products for many years.
“The Green & Good product range has proven so popular that the vast majority of our members have not only listed all the items available on their websites but are also taking advantage of the dis-count voucher scheme.
“Members are alerting end users of the savings that can be made via their websites.”

THE “H2 WOW” filter water bottle not only makes the con-tents taste fresher, it can be used more than 300 times before the filter needs changing.
This bottle is available in the UK through Squeezyball.
A spokesman for the company said: “Why waste money on single use mineral water bottles when you can get healthier water prac-tically free from the tap?
“UK tap water is some of the safest and purest in the world – it has to pass over 50 stringent tests before it reaches us. By contrast ‘mineral’ water only has to pass 16.”
The reusable bottle is also easy on the planet. More details at ppda.co.uk/squeezyball
SPS HAS introduced a wide range of lifestyle products for 2013 to help get brands seen.
While the warm summer weather can’t be guaranteed, we can at least get prepared for it with a range of products perfect for the great outdoors.

LIFESTYLE products are uni-versally popular with audiences and the more memorable the item, the more likely that it will be to stand out from the crowd, grab attention and be desired.
One item that always generates keen interest is the promotional picture frame – frequently used not just around the home, but also on desks at work too.
CHX Products has designed and developed a new picture frame which has the look and feel of slate, yet is actually made from recycled coffee cups and is biode-gradable.
Made in the UK, this frame comes complete with chalk so the recipient can write the “who, when and where”, then wipe it off when the photograph is changed. The picture frame can be fully
branded with a company name, logo or message between one and four spot colours.
Andy Knight, Managing Direc-tor of CHX Products, told PPD: “People like to have pictures of loved ones around them, whether it’s at home or at work.
“Employees, customers and prospects will always be appre-ciative of such a gift and it will be viewed with fondness as the image inserted into the picture frame will hold a strong memory for the recipient.
“Being placed in a coveted spot, it’s more than likely to be looked at several times throughout the day, giving ongoing brand aware-ness and a continued presence for the company that gave it.”

IF YOU’RE looking for some last-minute summer giveaways, Oldeani’s range of travel adapters is a strong contender – practical for anyone off in search of the sun, good quality and reasonably priced.
Oldeani MD Malcolm Fritschy told PPD: “Investing in practical promotional products gets you real value for money.
“Your brand will be constant-ly in front of your clients if you select merchandise that people really want to use, as opposed to gimmicks.
“Our travel adapters are the same quality as those you’d buy in the shops and our clients rec-ognise this.
“Gone are the days of just pack-ing just a hairdryer – look at any airport, and see how many iPads you can spot.”
Oldeani’s One World Charger has a USB connector to ensure ev-erything is kept powered up, and to keep your expensive gadgets safe on holiday, the company is also launching a waterproof cover for your iPad and phone. If camp-ing the and outdoors are more

your thing, Oldeani’s torches will be popular.
The Orion aluminium LED torch is a brand new addition to the range, available in three me-tallic colours and packaged in a gift box.

THERE’S nothing like a sea journey to fill you with antic-ipation and a sense of adven-ture – and although it’s a rel-atively short hop across the Cook Strait, the Interisland-er ferry nevertheless gives you that sense of adventure as you make the transition from New Zealand’s popu-lous North Island to the wild-er South.
Christchurch is the principal city of South Island and prides itself on its Englishness, with its red telephone boxes and the River Avon gently flowing through the city centre.
At the city’s heart is Cathedral Square, where once stood the el-egant Anglican building which gave the city its name.
But in February 2011, the city was changed forever when a huge earthquake struck, killing 185 people. It toppled the cathedral’s tower and the entire building has since had to be demolished.
A new temporary structure, us-ing innovative materials such as cardboard tubes, is currently be-ing erected at another site, before fund-raising and work can begin on a new, permanent cathedral for Christchurch.
The other big city (although, on South Island, such expressions tend to be very much relative) is Dunedin.
Whereas Christchurch affects a conciously English air, Dunedin has tartan in its blood.
The Lay Association of the Free Church of Scotland found-

Head due South for some natural highs
ed Dunedin at the head of Otago Harbour in 1848 as the principal town of its Scottish settlement and there’s no shortage of short-bread, bagpipes and Scottish country dancing for those so in-clined!
The cityscape glitters with gems of Victorian and Edwardian architecture – the legacy of the city’s gold-rush affluence.
Many, including First Church and Larnach Castle designed by one of New Zealand’s most emi-nent architects RA Lawson. Other prominent buildings include the magnificent railway station, from where you can catch a number of tourist excursions.
Dunedin is home to the huge Cadbury factory that manufac-tures all the chocolate manufac-turer’s output for the Southern
Hemisphere. As with its sister plant in Birmingham, England, there’s Cadbury World, a chance to take a tour of the factory and chomp your way through some complimentary products at the same time - just don’t go there be-fore you’ve had your lunch!
Head west and you’re really getting into wild New Zealand. Queenstown is built around an inlet on Lake Wakatipu, a long thin lake shaped like a staggered lightning bolt, and has spectacu-lar views of nearby mountains.
If you ever had a hankering to try out extreme sports, Queen-stown is the place to realise those ambitions. It’s acknowledged as one of the world’s best places for “adventure tourism”.
You can bungy, ride in jetboats on the lake, river surf, mountain bike, paraglide and even take your chances on a canyon swing.
If all that sounds too exhaust-ing or scary, a lake cruise on the TSS Earnslaw is the perfect anti-dote. This 1912 vintage twin screw steamer is one of the oldest tour-ist attractions in Central Otago.
For all the high adventure, it’s the spectacular scenery that abides longest in the memory for
those who make it to this part of New Zealand, especially as you travel into the wildest outposts of its fjord country.
The most famous destination in the fjord country, and in New Zealand, is the spectacular Mil-ford Sound, which author Rud-yard Kipling dubbed the eighth Wonder of the World.
Milford Sound runs 15 kilome-tres inland from the Tasman Sea and is surrounded by sheer rock faces that rise 1,200 metres or more on either side.
Its most distinctive summit is Mitre Peak, in the distinctive shape of a bishop’s headgear.
Walking in the fjord country is a serious proposition and only sea-soned hikers should stray far from the beaten track.
For the less athletic among us, the best two ways to see Milford Sound are by boat – there are plenty of ships plying its waters – and by helicopter, which will also land you up on a glacial snowfield.
It’s a seriously memorable end to your journey through a serious-ly memorable country.
It’s a cliché, but New Zealand is one tourist destination that can truly claim to “have it all”.
Charlie Jones concludes his two-part tour of New Zealand with a memorable stay on South Island

Practical companion with chunk of style thrown in
John Griffiths
SUBARU hasn’t fared too well in the UK over the last couple of years, because of factors largely beyond its control.
But the end of the tunnel is in sight, and the company is confi-dent its all-new Forester is the ve-hicle to drive into the light.
The new car is not only bigger, cleaner and even more capable, it’s a lot sleeker and stylish.
And enthusiasts will be rejoic-ing at the return of a storming, 240PS turbocharged version at the top of the range, the XT: at just under £31,000, a practical family transport with an engine and four wheel drive system developed from the rally-winning Impreza.
And as befits a family car, the Forester qualifies for a maximum five star EuroNCAP safety rating.
The Forester first arrived here in 1997 as a rather boxy, utilitari-an machine.
The new, fourth generation Forester is bigger but sleeker.
The rear can comfortably ac-commodate three adults with generous legroom, while a 6ft 4in driving companion was particu-larly impressed with the available headroom.
The new doors have allowed Subaru to move the door mir-rors back and reintroduce the old-fashioned “quarterlight” win-dow. It doesn’t sound like much, but I was surprised how useful this few extra degrees of front quarter visibility was while off-roading.
Luggage space has also in-creased by 12 per cent to 505 litres with the rear seats up, plus anoth-er 1,000 litres (and a flatter load floor) when they’re folded down.
Forester prices range from £24,995 to £30,995. There are three engine choices – all Subaru’s proven horizontally opposed four cylinder boxer design. They are a two litre, 150PS petrol, a two litre 147PS turbo diesel and the 240PS turbocharged petrol.
The standard gearbox is now a six, rather than five, speed manu-al for brisker acceleration, quieter cruising and better fuel economy.
An option for petrol versions – and standard on the XT tur-bo model – is Subaru’s own CVT (continuously variable transmis-sion), with up/down paddles be-hind the steering wheel.
It’s a big improvement on ear-lier CVT systems tried by several manufacturers, much quieter and more efficient even (much to my surprise) on wet grass and mud during the off-road test.
Better still, the petrol engine
is a whole 15 per cent more eco-nomical than its predecessor (now 43.5mpg average) while its all-important CO2 emission rat-ing is down to 150g/km – even less than with a manual gearbox.
The manual transmission diesel’s CO2 figure is, by coinci-dence, the same – although it is more economical with an official 49.6mpg. I actually bettered that by a couple of miles per gallon on a 100-mile run including motor-way and steep and winding Pen-nine roads where I wasn’t sparing the horses. The diesel is no slug-gard, either, doing the 0 to 62mph sprint in 10.2 seconds.
The quickest Forester, of course, is the 240PS XT turbo pet-rol model, which does the sprint in 7.5 seconds – particularly quick by SUV standards. Fuel consump-tion of 33,2mog means a CO2 rat-ing of 197g/km – a remarkable 22 per cent improvement on the pre-vious turbo.
The Forester’s revamp has brought it a new, more rigid body and a much improved suspension system. On the open road, it’s as smooth and quiet as a decent sa-loon and, unlike some of the SUV
species, there’s none of the rock and roll almost inevitably result-ing from high ground clearance and beefy, long travel suspension.
It feels more secure through the quick corners, too, than many of the breed, thanks partially to the relatively low centre of gravity.
The electronic wizardry of the dynamic stability system extends to monitoring any caravan or trailer you hitch up, so it’s likely the Forester will remain a popular tow car.
So it was a bit of a surprise to find this smooth nature extended to the off-road test, which must be attributed to some excellent damping. A suspension system and chassis which handles so well on the road AND soaks up the bumps off them is impressive.
The off-road test was over wet grass and mud, some of the most testing conditions for any 4x4. The Forester took some pretty steep slopes in its stride. although this latest model does have a new trick up its sleeve.
Press the “X-Mode” button (on CVT-equipped models) and all the electronics controlling throt-tle, transmission, stability sys-tems and brakes work together to increase traction. It also activates
Subaru’s new hill descent control system which makes up for the lack of a low-range transmission by using pulses of braking to keep speed to a crawl on steep, slippery downhill stretches.
The Forester’s new, even tough-er construction, improved elec-tronic stability systems, new whiplash-reducing seats and front, side, curtain and knee air-bags have earned it a maximum five-star crash safety rating.
The Forester has previous-ly been seen as something of a workhorse, a utilitarian vehicle at a competitive price which is ex-pected to earn its keep.
Subaru has, in my view, im-proved on the Forester’s utilitar-ian qualities in most areas but it has also made it bigger, quieter, more comfortable, considerably better equipped and more stylish. And don’t foresters (the human variety), farmers and others who need practicality at a competitive price deserve that?
The driving position offers a comfortable, efficient experience while luggage room is much improved.

WE HERE at Tittle Tattle were under the impres-sion that a 3 x 3 was something you get from the tim-ber department at B&Q, but apparently not. We’re not quite sure how you line ‘em up on this one, but here’s SPS’s Diane Anderton demonstrating some

Helpful Nigel shows his true colours at the footy
WELL, he’s famously “Here To Help”, so those who know him best were not surprised when Trade Only’s very own Nigel Bailey pulled on the goalkeeper’s jersey for Preseli ShowCasers at the re-cent PPD Cup.
Nor, given his favourite slogan, was there ever going to be any question of the colour of that jersey.
Before the action got under way, Nigel admitted to the Match Of The Day Pundits (well, all right, PPD editor Aidan Goldstraw) that he was a bit out of match practice.
However, as you can see, he soon got into the swing of things, carefully marshalling his troops with a vocal performance from inside the goalie’s area.
And for all his rustiness, our man got in a few very decent saves (e.g. below left) to keep his adopted team in with a shout.
Sadly, there was no fairytale ending and Nigel also spent a bit of time collecting the ball from the back of the net.
Still, very well done, and Mr Hodgson, if you’re stuck for a goalie...
