Promotional-Merchandise wishes you a Merry Christmas

Posted in Editors Column on Tue 16 Dec 2014

mxmas The team at Promotional-Merchandise are looking forward to the festive holidays and we could not wait any longer to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, happy holidays and a prosperous New Year!

Our offices will be closed from the 24th December until the 2nd January so that we can enjoy the festivities with our friends and families. We will be checking emails on the 30th December so if you would like to get in touch with us, please email admin@promotional-merchandise.org.uk.

We are feeling positive about the coming year and, it seems, so are many others in the industry. PSI, the international network for the promotional product industry, recently shared their optimism for the promotional product market next year. Providing a promising indicator for the industry as a whole, they have already booked out 95% of the exhibition area for PSI 2015.

Showing that the American promotional product market is rebounding, ASI (the Advertising Speciality Institute) recently released the results of their gift-giving survey which showed that companies planning holiday rewards will spend $10 more per customer and $5 more per worker than the previous year, despite static overall budgets. Let’s hope that trend is reflected here in the UK!

January is a busy month in the promotional merchandise industry calendar, with PSI 2015, the largest European trade fair for the promotional product industry, from 7th to 9th January in Dusseldorf, the BPMA Education Day on the 20th January and The Trade Only National Show, the UK’s biggest and best promotional products show, being held on 21st and 22nd January at the Ricoh Arena, Coventry. If you will be exhibiting or showcasing any new products at either trade show we would love to hear all the details.

We hope you all have exciting plans for the year ahead. If you would like to tell us about them, whether it’s company news, new products or special offers, you can email us at editor@promotional-merchandise.org.uk. We will share your news on our website and in our monthly newsletter as well as posting it on Twitter and Facebook, ensuring you reach an audience of promotional buyers and industry professionals.

We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and wish you the very best for 2015!
