For today’s blog I want to explore some of our 3D pop-up products that offer a new and exciting way of getting your product noticed. Breakfast cereals for example are advertised not for their ability to fill your belly in the morning but by the sound that they make – such as snap, crackle and pop, or by the fact that milkmen are break-dancing in the bowl and so on. Well our marketing products have their own snap, crackle and pop too.
Take one of our 3D Pop-ups the Cube; this is a great DM product that will introduce the element of fun and surprise in to your marketing campaign. The shape is very simple making the product extremely versatile allowing any design to be printed on the sides. The product comes with its own mailer and when released jumps out rapidly at the customer and popping out in to its cube shape. The pop-up advanced action surprises the customer and makes it very memorable.
Another product in this range is the Pop-up Pyramid, this has a more specific shape however can still be used for numerous designs. This also has the unique action introducing the element of surprise and adding the shock value. It makes your advertising fun for the customer and offers them something different they will not see in the normal morning post.
There is also the Pop-up House again another more tailor made design but it still offers endless opportunities to your marketing, weather to advertise a shop, restaurant, café, bar, estate agents, mortgages and the list can go on. The Pop-up House is great for numerous promotions and will add exciting in to your advertising campaign.

In today’s blog I want to explore publicity products that make successful exhibition handouts. It is essential that handouts hold the customers attention in order to achieve a higher rate of response. We all know as soon as we are handed a promotional leaflet the first thing we do is look for the nearest bin however by making your handout interactive it will stop it from getting discarded so easily as it attracts interest because it is something different to what is usually received.
Take the Starburst Cross; this is a fantastic interactive marketing piece that makes a great exhibition handout. The design of the publicity product is useful for displaying a floor or seating plan and the unique unfolding action will hold the attention for long enough for the customer to read your marketing message.
Another product in this range is the Starburst Mini; this innovative promotional piece is a great idea as a handout because when it is opened it offers an impressive, eye-catching display that will instantly attract attention and make your promotion memorable. The pocket-media will fit neatly in to a pocket or handbag meaning it is also much more likely to be retained increasing the chances of a response. The folding mechanism makes it appealing to the customer and will be passed around for all to see.
There is also the Tripleburst within this range which also puts a modern spin on your promotional handout. The Tripleburst offers a generous amount of space for your promotion and is very versatile.

It’s the first Monday in August, so naturally it’s time to start talking about the Christmas period. Our Christmas Marketing website is due for a refurb and wheels are turning in the background to launch a new look site later this month. The range of Christmas products that have been chosen for inclusion has been trimmed from the current selection, paying greater attention to products that are specific to Christmas time.
Corporate Christmas card ideas, company Christmas party invitations and ideas on how to present business gifts at Christmas are all give a strong focus on the new site along with calendars and other ideas for Christmas and New Year promotions.
Amongst the improvements that you will see are increased product information and immediate viewing for product videos. Page access times will also be improved so that visitors are not wasting too much valuable search time waiting for pages to load. Navigational aids have been improved and the whole look of the site has been brightened to enhance the visitor experience.
The whole site is being re-written so this is not a re-hash of existing pages. Research into what visitors want has taken quite a long time and the re-write has been based on our findings so, hopefully, we will not only see an increase in visitors but those visitors should find the site visit much more fruitful. We will keep you posted on the progress so that you can come to visit on opening day.
