GETTING THE MESSAGE ACROSS
Last month I urged suppliers to keep promoting themselves, as there is business out there and those who keep their names in front of the buyers are more likely to win it. But John Wray, board member of Promota and MD of Sunbase has made a good point. “It’s not just products you should be offering your clients, it’s assistance. Now is the time you can help your clients to keep up their profile with their clients.” and that’s the message suppliers should be getting across.
I’m sure many promotional product suppliers are finding new and innovative ways to attract and retain customers and I’m equally as sure they won’t want to tell us how, but if they did, we’d be delighted to hear.
Party on
Party time is upon us again and we’ve got details of the ISP and BPMA Christmas lunches on the site.
I know times are hard, but I’m sure there are lots of you out there who will be having their own Christmas parties too, officially or unofficially. We have a whole blog section where I’d be delighted to show your party pics. Well, the publishable ones anyway! So if you are having an alternative Christmas party, maybe scaled down, but just as much fun, then let’s hear about that too.
But before we get to Christmas, we’ve got another issue of Promo e-News, so let's have your news, views and comments. Our December feature is on Trophies and Special Gifts, long service awards, etc. So if you’ve got trophies and special gifts to sell, or if you’ve received an award that you're proud of, drop me a line.
