Did we mention the C word? Afraid so. While we’re not reaching for the tinsel and baubles quite yet, or counting down remaining shopping days, we are reminding our clients that things go a little crazy in December. Here are our tips for a stress-free run up to Christmas:
1. Get the big print jobs sorted now. At the beginning of 2015, you might have decided to renovate your brochures or product sheets this year. Time is running out, so get the design and copy started now so that your job isn’t compromised by tight deadlines.
2. Surprise and delight your clients. Personalisation has come a long way in recent times. Now it’s perfectly feasible to give every client a customised Christmas gift, such as gift wrap or gift stickers personalised with their name.
3. Invent a clever corporate gift. Find a great wine or food product and order direct from the manufacturer. Then get us to design and print a label that turns it into a clever corporate gift.
4. Print a beautifully embellished Christmas card. It’s never too soon to start thinking about your branded Christmas card. Our new embellishment book showcases some of the amazing print effects you could use to create a standout card this year.
5. Get ready for the new health and safety regulations. The new H & S rules should be kicking in about December, putting more responsibility on employers’ shoulders. Our large format presses make it easy to run off a batch of long-life H & S posters to support your new policy.
6. Switch to online print ordering for standard stationery items. Business cards, letterheads, comp slips, address labels and all the other items that are part of your stationery set can sourced through our Ebusiness platform. You’ll have your own webpage and templates for quick and easy ordering.
Your Soar account manager is ready to help you get super-organised this year, so that Christmas is all about parties and fun, not stress and deadlines. Call us on (09) 302 9100
