Happy New Year 2015!

As 2014 has drawn to a close, it leaves me pondering last year's journey and events and preparing for 2015. I'm proud we've served many new customers and continued successful relationships with old ones. We've covered some exciting new projects, that included creating fully bespoke items and branding a series of items to reflect our clients' brands. We have showcased a few in our #ByUKCorpGifts series. Last year has seen us embracing the digital world. We have launched this blog at the beginning of the year and it's gained great popularity over the last 12 months with new readers subscribing weekly. Our Twitter following surpassed the 1,000 mark which has seen us make lots of new and valuable contacts. We've also had some press coverage, like this interview with me and Ben for Kingston University. 2014 has seen us introducing brand new products that have proven immensely popular, like Verona notebooks with special new branding techniques, power banks that charge mobile devices on-the-go, or innovative chocolate text bars that make anniversaries or product launches sweeter. There were a lot of new developments too! Our factories brought forward new, innovative printing machines to deliver better print quality with crisper edges and more vivid colours. Digital printing machines have been introduced to more and more new products to allow excellent quality full colour print on a large range of items at more competitive prices. Many printing facilities have been moved back to the UK and Europe from the Far East to improve lead times - a large large of items can now be produced in just 5 working days! So what's in store for 2015? As we're becoming bigger and better, we'll be launching even more new products, keeping our catalogue up to date with the latest prices and ideas to help you find the best way to market your business. Our advisors will continue working with you to achieve your goals, bringing you successful products within your budget. In the blog and on our social sites we will keep you up to date with all the latest innovations and launches as well as giving you inspiration for your next product launch, trade show, direct mail campaign or even a complete re-branding event. Take note of our #CleverPromoGifts section where we showcase clever uses of corporate gifts. In the first half of 2015, also keep your eyes peeled for our new look website. I am excited to be introducing the new site in a few months' time, which will be more user friendly and easier to browse on mobile devices. As I can't wait to start work on all the new projects in 2015, I wish you all a prosperous and successful New Year, which no doubt will see some great new advertising campaigns!
