Mid April Update

April is here, so it’s time to get patriotic if you’re English! 23rd is St George’s Day – so we’ve designed and added a new Knight, Dragon and series of pretty Roses and come up with lots of ideas for marketing them to your customers – far beyond April 23rd itself. Think fantasy themed items for the Knight and Dragon (team them with our shields or dagger maybe?), using the Roses as symbols for supporting England in sports events throughout the year – and especially for the Football World cup – looming up in June!

In our ongoing GRAND SALE the  45 x 35 mm key rings in sturdy 0.7mm could be printed up as great Flag keyrings to support your country in the World cup plus we still have luxury keyrings that would do the job too in CLEARANCE – our Rectangular key fobs  are up to 40% off or in our ongoing PRICE DROPS many of our core range of Luxury Key rings – Bottle Opener, Metal Pendant Style, and Leather Keyfobs – rectangular and pear shaped would work too. We have managed to reduce these by 10-30% ONGOING!!

NEWS
Parcelforce and Royal Mail merger
Many of you will be aware that Parcelforce and Royal mail merged their systems last year and have been rolling out a series of changes to the way we have to send items. It has given us a bit of flexibility and choice for which services we can use – but it has also meant a more inflexible system for generating labels.
Because of this, we wanted to ask you to be extra vigilant when filling out your details on your orders, as we aren’t able to make changes and spot details are correct as we did before (like checking the address is complete or postcode matches – as the system imports the address details from your order automatically).

So, the best way to order from us, is to create a free account as you check out, so that your details are stored – then you don’t make mistakes when returning to order (as long as you are extra careful to enter them correctly in the first place lol!!) Other advantages of an account are being to see your order history and find templates to download for any shapes you buy – you can also ‘favourite’ items to find them again easily if you are logged in when browsing the site – a very useful feature!

Standard 0.5mm white metal Update
Reminder that our new shipment of standard 0.5mm white which has protective film that is green instead of white, so don’t be alarmed if you receive a mix of green and white film

No minimum order requirement continues at present (and CARRIAGE PAID shipping is only £95 ex VAT!)
