Alternatives to Company Christmas Cards – Pop-up Christmas Decorations

September 30th, 2009 by admin

Snowflake Christmas DecorationEveryone wants to send something a bit different as a company Christmas card in order to get their company noticed. Many look for a complete alternative to a card and the lucky searchers end up here! We believe that a pop-up Christmas decoration will do the trick. It’s jolly, it’s festive and it is certainly different. Take a look at these four items.

Pop-up Diamond

The pop-up diamond really comes into its own when you add a loop of decorative string. It is instantly transformed into a product that looks like a Christmas decoration. The loops are usually made in silver or gold and add to the festive appearance of the product making it an ideal choice to carry a corporate Christmas greeting.

Pop-up Hexapop

We call this product a Hexapop on account of it being a hexagonal pop up, which doesn’t take much working out! Like other products in this section this pop up polyhedron can be printed to look like an attractive Christmas decoration. We can add a decorative hanging loop made in silver or gold string and, added to your prowess in the graphics department, the polyhedron becomes a successful Christmas promotional product.

The Johnson 13

This pop-up product looks really well when printed as a Christmas ornament to carry a company Christmas greeting. Add a loop of shiny string or elastic and it becomes a Christmas tree decoration. It will certainly catch the eye more than the lame offerings sent out by many of your competitors. This pop-up is suitable as a Christmas greeting or as part of a Christmas promotion.

The Snowflake

The Snowflake is the single most popular shape in our range of Christmas greetings products. When a shiny hanging loop is added it just adds the icing to the cake and creates a perfect promotional Christmas greeting in the style of a Christmas decoration or a Christmas tree ornament.

Four Suggestions as Alternatives to Company Christmas Cards

September 28th, 2009 by admin

SpringboxPop-up Pyramid

The pop up pyramid has been printed in many ways as a company Christmas card. It has been a snow capped mountain peak. It is often printed with three months of dates on each triangular face to act as a desk calendar and it has been covered in signatures as just a regular card.

 

Springbox

You can’t actually call the Springbox a Christmas card but it is often printed and sent to carry a company’s Christmas greeting. The emphasis is always light hearted and playful as the Springbox carries a big surprise for the person who opens the pack when four cubes leap into the air!

 

Snowflake

This seven-sided card with fourteen triangular faces is a most popular Christmas pop-up. It is most often printed with a snowflake design regardless of the fact that snowflakes have only six points but the effect is always very attractive. Designers also make a great success of portraying the product as a Christmas decoration.

 

Two Pop Box

Your Christmas message will be delivered with a smile if you select the Two Pop Box. This pocket-sized packet carries two power cubes which spring forward when the pack is opened causing bags of fun. There is not a lot of space for Christmas print but the product is kind to your pocket whilst still delivering a fun message.

Desktop Marketing Calendars offer great value for money

September 26th, 2009 by admin

Hexapop CalendarMany wall calendars cost a lot of money and can make vast inroads into your marketing budget. On top of that, they cost a small fortune to mail out, too! Whilst the size of the wall calendar may be quite large the size isn’t always matched by the reaction to receiving it. Your customer might receive a dozen wall calendars each year, most of which are passed around the offices or taken home by a colleague. Customer interaction is limited to tearing off a sheet once a month.

You’ve heard this before, size isn’t everything and it’s not what you’ve got but what you do with it! So if what you have got is the need for a creative advertising and marketing calendar, make sure that it gets noticed and that it works for you.

A bespoke Hexapop advertising and marketing calendar offers many plus points that require close consideration. There is the unusual shape that is bound to be noticed and create comments around the office. There are the elements of fun, surprise and customer interaction. You have an attractive mailing pack that comes with your own full-colour promotional message unlike the big brown envelope or brown mailing tube in which a wall calendar is delivered. Each pack is light and therefore falls into a lower band of postage costs. The original cost of producing the advertising and marketing calendar is well within most company Christmas marketing budgets and your 12-month calendar will cost something like 2p – 3p per week! This is true of all the promotional pop-up calendars in our specially selected range.

This Company Christmas Gift creates Customer Interaction and Ticks all the Boxes

September 25th, 2009 by admin

power pen pal pop-up calendarOur Power Pen Holder is a six-sided pen pot with an automatic pop-up action. It is custom printed, it has six sides and it holds about a dozen pens. Custom printed as a calendar it makes a perfect Company Christmas Gift – just the custom promotional item that you have been looking for.

The Power Pen Holder also comes with its own custom printed mailing pack which we call a Zippalope which you can see in action right here on video. Your attractive custom graphics will make the Zippalope stand out in your customers’ morning business mail. When your customer opens the Zippalope, out pops the pen holder bringing with it the elements of fun and surprise which will grab your customers attention. This is where customer interaction really starts as your client will bounce the pen holder a few times just to experience the fun over again. Your company Christmas gift is then filled with pens and placed in a prominent position on the desk where it will stay for the next 12 months!

At last, a Custom Promotional Item that Doesn’t Cost a Fortune!

Your new-found Customer Christmas Gift offers plenty of space for calendar dates and for custom-printed promotional messages. The fact that it holds pens and it has dates on it means that your customer will see it hundreds of times throughout the year and whilst it is not the cheapest item in our range of pop-up calendars, it certainly falls within most corporate Christmas Budgets.

With this promotional pop-up pen holder / desk calendar, each pack is light and therefore falls into a lower band of postage costs which helps to keep this custom promotional item affordable and your 12-month calendar will cost only pennies per week!
