Out With the Old & In With the New

It’s ‘out with the old’ as we wave goodbye to 2010, the year that bought us the good news about the Royal Engagement and the bad news about the 2018 World Cup. 

It’s ‘in with the new’, as we look forward to the Royal Wedding and other national events in 2011 that will bring business to the promotions industry. The industry is also already gearing up for the 2012 Olympics and so it’s no surprise that merchandise for both these events will be topics for our features in 2011. 

The features list is shown below and if you want to be included in a feature, or if you have news to share with the industry, then just email me at editor@promotional-merchandise.org.uk 

There is no doubt that this has been a tough year for the promotions industry and many more industries besides, so let’s hope that 2011 will be turning point that gets our economy out of the doldrums. 

But between now and then, it’s time to celebrate! So whether you are celebrating Christmas as a religious or traditional festival or whether you are just celebrating having a few days off work, all of us at Promotional-merchandise.org.uk wish you all the best.
