Local Government Parking Discs and Recycling Discs

January 31st, 2012 by admin

parkingdiscsAre you looking for Parking Discs that are sturdy, hard-wearing and easy to use?  Or maybe you are looking for Recycling Discs that are simple to use and encourage much more recycling from the residents?  If so you need look no further than the popupmailers products.

 

Perfect Parking – Lots of Space  

The main product features of the Parking Discs are the fact that they are extremely durable with an easy to set and view clock.  Parking Discs get handled a lot so they need to be sturdy yet it is also important that they are simple to use.  This is why the Parking Discs from popupmailers are in use on a daily basis nationwide and beyond.  They are all manufactured to BSI guidelines for local government schemes making them a perfect choice every time.  There is lots of space for extra message on the Parking Discs and Parking Permits without detracting from the platform of the disc whatever size and design you require.

 

Recycling Wheel Charts – Increasing Waste Awareness

These days all local government recycling schemes need resident awareness about what goes where and this is where the popupmailers Recycling Discs have taken off.  The most popular design is the one with photographs of what goes where since they are so easy to use and view by everyone.  The discs clearly indicate where all items for recycling should be put and makes the whole process of sorting rubbish much more pleasurable too.  Specially designed with the user in mind often a magnet is placed on the back so that it can be placed on a fridge or a small chain is added to enable it to be hung in a convenient place. You are completely in charge – your colours, your photographs and your design to suit your requirements.

Paper Engineering Techniques for Attention-Grabbing Marketing Products

January 26th, 2012 by admin

circularstarburstWith fun folds and ingenious paper engineering techniques you can create your best ever attention-grabbing marketing products. It is a proven fact that the more interactive a product is the more focus it gains on receipt and the information is retained for much longer too.

 

Starbursts Bursting with Potential

The Starburst Fold products are available in a variety of sizes and shapes; the folded sheets inside hard-wearing covers are very showy as they open up rather like a flower.  It would take me too long to chat about how these products have played key roles in marketing and promotional campaigns so I will simply give you a few examples of how they have been designed: trade show give-aways, event invitations, attention-grabbing marketing products, direct mail campaigns, tourist booklets, product launches and even bottle hangers.  The Starburst Folded products are top class paper engineering techniques; my favourite is the Circular Starburst.

 

Carry and Keep for Reference

The Carry and Keep Card is exactly as the name suggests – an attention grabbing marketing product that your customers and carry and keep.  This product is available in A7 which makes it perfect for slipping into a pocket or a handbag for easy reference.  The outer cover is hard-wearing and protects the inner sheet which unfolds to reveal double-sided print A3 size.  There is so much room for your custom printing and your marketing communication making the Carry and Keep a very popular item from the paper engineering techniques range.

 

Nostalgic and Playful

The Fortune Teller or Cootie Catcher as it is also known takes its lead from the playground days we of a certain age will remember.  Such fun was had with the folded paper – who had to kiss David at break time, who had to skip around the school etc.  For an attention grabbing marketing product the Fortune Teller will not have forfeits of course but you can have so much fun with your message and it is a cost-effective way to use paper engineering techniques.

Wheel Charts and Volvelles make Terrific Marketing Products too

January 12th, 2012 by admin

wheelchartsThere are so many possibilities with Wheel Charts, Discs, Vovelles; whatever you wish to call them they are versatile, stylish and hard-wearing products.  These designs are hugely popular for passing on information in the form of recycling and parking discs, pharmaceutical information and mortgage percentages but they have many more strings to their bow as interactive marketing products.

 

Turn your Customers Head

The Wheel Charts are discs eyeleted together designed to your exact specifications to match your current promotion.  They are sturdy and stylish and reveal your information through die-cut apertures.  Due to their playful design it does mean that your customers will pick them up again and again and will also share with others which extends your advertising profile and time greatly. 

 

Ideas for using the Wheel Chart Format

As interactive marketing products some of the wheel chart success stories are event invitations for a trade show organiser; announcement of new products in a range; and a calorie counter for a well known slimming organisation.  The Parking Disc and Recycling Disc designs have been used for Corporate Event Invitations regularly with great feedback.  Most recently Christmas Markets were advertised by a local authority using the Parking Disc format– the message was – Stop at the Christmas Market on your way home; I thought that was very unusual and novel.

 

Give your Promotions a Twist with the Volvelles

Of course the turning and twisting involved to reveal all the information with the Wheel Chart designs makes your customer retain the message far better than a boring A4 letter or brochure would do.  It is a proven fact that the more interesting and tactile a product is then the more a person reads the information and remembers it and YOU!

Whitney Woods Pocket Sized Marketing Products enter Top Selling Chart

December 23rd, 2011 by admin

carry\'n\'keepIn 2011 Whitney Woods introduced a pocket-sized range which was primarily for the Tourism and Events Sector.  However due to the novelty value and “carry and keep” qualities these products are now in the top selling charts and are successfully designed for a variety of uses.

 

Unfold a World of Opportunity with the Foldilocks 

The Foldilocks is a mini booklet format that has great print area and folds up into a pocket sized marketing product.  I like the Foldilocks because it has perforated panels and these can be used for issuing discounts and coupons which can contribute towards brand loyalty campaigns.  The panels are secured in sturdy outer cover that has a locking tab to prevent damage.  After much success in the Events and Tourism sectors marketing professionals saw the advantages of using products that can be carried in a pocket or handbag and as such the Foldilocks has entered the top selling chart as a portable marketing product. Available in A7 and credit card sizes you choose the perfect layout for your project and away you go.

 

Carry ‘n’ Keep – Exactly as the name suggests

My ultimate favourite in the range is the Carry ‘n’ Keep; This is A7 in size and is hard-wearing covers that house an A3 folded sheet – wow all that printing area and it can still be carried in your pocket! As a Tourism product its success revolved around the fact that advertising space could be sold making the product completely self-funding!  As a Trade-Show and Event give-away there is ample printing area on both sides for your promotion and the Carry ‘n’ Keep will be exactly that!  Carried away and kept for future reference.  Recently a large furniture chain used the Carry ‘n’ Keep for a mailing campaign to past and present customers with lots of special offers and opening times at different stores on. Feedback was excellent.

 

Starbursts – Flamboyant and Theatrical

If you need something more vibrant and showy the Starburst Fold products will be right up your street. Now available as credit card sized or A7 these are becoming exceptionally popular for direct mail campaigns, event invitations and mini booklets.  They have been around for a while for tourism and local authority maps and town plans and are now bursting into life as pocket sized marketing products with zest and kudos.

Local Authority Discs - Turnaround Your Recycling Figures

December 15th, 2011 by admin

parkingdiscsMarketing products is our forte as you may already know but did you know that we also produce products for local authorities and tourist boards?  The eyeleted discs we supply for recycling and parking discs are all of a premium quality, hard-wearing and easy to use.

 

Smart and Easy to View Wheels Encourage Recycling 

The popupmailers Recycling Wheels are a boon to local authority departments who are battling with residents to change their philosophy on rubbish and encourage as much recycling as possible. Since the products are easy to use, very sturdy and neat they aid education about “what goes where, when and how”. You can if you so wish (and many do) choose to have photographs on your recycling wheel to make the instructions even easier to use.  Orders for the recycling wheels are racing past the post for the most popular local authority products we produce.

 

Top Class Parking Discs and Permits 

We produce millions of Parking Discs each year for numerous local authorities and we adhere to BSI specifications here in the UK.  Smaller versions are favoured in the European market. Whatever you need we can manufacture a hard-wearing, easy to use and cost effective disc that will work well for you and your parking schemes. Parking Permits are now widely used and we have been involved in producing lots of permits with clocks for local councils and privately owned car parks too.

 

Little Big Cards and Foldilocks for Tourism Leaflets

Currently in the best selling chart for Local Government and Independent Tourism Boards are the Little big Card and Foldilocks Designs.  Both make perfect mini booklets and are pocket sized too making them easy to carry and keep for a future visit. The Little Big Card lends itself perfectly to hosting a map inside two sturdy covers whilst the Foldilocks is printed on panels which make ideal tear-off vouchers or coupons for loyalty discounts and return visits.

 

Hand-finishing a Speciality

If you are a printing company you may need your products eyeleting and hand-finishing - we can do that too.
