Are You Ready For Winter?

Year on year the UK weather constantly changes, with unpredictable snowfall and rainfall it’s important to be ready no matter what the weather. For businesses it’s important to have your staff prepared for what’s to come, whether they be office based on field based, when the winter weather arrives no one wants to feel the cold.

Staff and Winter Weather

Winter is one time of year where sickness is at it’s highest in workplaces, usually due to things such as colds and flus or simply needing time off because of the bad weather.. With a few simple tweeks to your company uniform you could massively reduce time off in the winter, staff working outside without the appropriate attire are more at risk of falling ill, even staff who work in offices feel the cold.

At Crystal Print we believe that having the appropriate work clothing can help to combat time off and can also help to protect your staff in the harsher winter conditions. From simple changes to staff uniforms and including appropriate winter wear such as hoodies, sweatshirts, jackets, fleeces and hats can help to combat the effects of winter. With the right printing and embroidery your staff uniforms can be easily incorporated into your business branding; meaning your new uniform will still be in keeping with what you already have.

Items That Can Be Printed Or Embroidered

At Crystal Print we offer a range of appropriate attire to help combat the winter weather.

Hoodies and Sweatshirts

Perfect for use for both indoor and outdoor work, hoodies can help to keep your staff warm while still looking smart and matching the company branding. Hoodies and sweatshirts can be easily removed, so when you have a nicer day or the heating on full blast in the office, there’s no need to wear it but the options always there when your staff need it.

Jackets and Fleeces

Aimed more for people working outdoors, jackets and fleeces can provide the warmth and protection needed when the harsh winter weather attacks. With the ability to have them printed on or embroidered on your staff will not only feel better when wearing them outdoors but they’ll look great and match the company with colours and info that suit.

Hats

When it comes to working outdoors you wouldn’t believe the difference a hat makes, tradition says that when your feet and head are warm the rest of you is warm. By providing customised headwear such as wooly hats, you keep them safe and warm when their working outdoors.

Customisation

The great thing about workwear clothing is that it can all be personalised, so when your staff are out and about in the local area or working on jobs then they can be branded to match your company. Printed and embroidered clothing provides a great free way to advertise while keeping your staff warm in the harsh winter weather and also helping to reduce the amount of sick days they may need to take. By providing the appropriate winter clothing your staff are less likely to fall ill with things such as the common cold.

When it comes to kitting out your staff in the winter workwear clothing, look no further than Crystal Print. We offer clothing appropriate for the winter weather that can be customised with printing or embroidery; we only use the best quality material clothing items and ensure all work is carried out to a high standard.

How To Ensure Complete Leaflet Success

Here at Crystal Print, we’ve been operating as expert leaflet printers for many years now, which means we have been able to pinpoint some of the key ways to achieve success when you’re marketing your brand, products and services with leaflets. As experienced printers, I think it’s fair to say that we’ve seen a lot of leaflets over the years, which allows you to rest easy with the knowledge that we know what we’re talking about. So, let’s get into it. Here are the steps to ensure complete leaflet success.

Use A Time Bound Offer

One of the best ways to ensure success when marketing your business with leaflets is to use a time bound offer. Utilising a time bound offer will help to draw people into your business, as they will need to use the offer before the time is up. For example. During the summer months, you could offer a discount until the summer ends, which is a surefire way to bring in customers to your business, in quite a short space of time. It’s important to remember to put an end date on your offer, however. This is because, if you forget, people can utilise the offer whenever they like, which could cause major problems for your business and may lead to you losing money. Here at Crystal Print, we strive to help your business increase its outreach and want you to make money off of the back of our printed leaflets, which is why we’ll help you in any way we can.

Logo Placement

The placement of your logo is one of the most important things to consider when using leaflets to market your business. Many companies just put their logo at the top and forget about it, but Crystal Print know different. In fact, the best place to put your logo is close to the bottom of your leaflet. If your leaflet is printed to a high standard, which ours are guaranteed to be, customers will want to keep reading it. This will enable people who are genuinely interested in your services to find your logo and information, which is a lot better than just thrusting it into a customer's face before they even start to read your leaflet. Is your logo a tad outdated? Well, putting it at the top of your leaflet can be quite off-putting to potential customers.

Aesthetically Pleasing Images

Having aesthetically pleasing images is one of the easiest way to catch a customer’s attention. Are you displaying leaflets in a rack? If so, people walking past your shop or the rack itself will notice the high quality, striking images on your leaflet and may possibly be persuaded to pick it up and read more information on your business and the services you offer. In short, high quality images allows potential customers to find out just what your business is about, as soon as they lay eyes on your leaflet.

Use The Back

At Crystal Print, we believe that leaflets should not just be one sided, it’s important to utilise the space on the back as much as you can. Have you used a time bound offer? Well, this is the perfect place to expand on that! Using the back of a leaflet can help grasp the attention of potential customers, as no matter which side they pick the leaflet up, they have something to look at and read. If you’re looking to expand on the services you offer, using the space on the back can act as another full leaflet. Utilising the back space effectively can help to persuade the reader to keep your leaflet and use it whenever they are in need of your services.

Short Headers

When creating a new leaflet, it’s highly important to write your headline as if you’re writing a newspaper article. A short and clear header can help entice people into reading your leaflet. This is because, when people are going about their day to day business, they want information quickly. Catching the eye of potential customers when marketing your products and services is vital, which is why short and snappy headlines are perfect when looking to ensure complete leaflet success.

How Signage Can Be Beneficial To Your Business

Regardless of whether you have just started a new business or you have been operating for a few years, signage is massively important. At Crystal Print, we have been offering our signage services to our clients for many years now, which means we are experts at what we do. It also means that we have been able to notice a few benefits that properly utilised signage can bring to a business, which is why we have decided to outline a few of the key benefits in this blog. No matter if you’re a new business, an established one looking to rebrand or even if you’re simply looking to improve the visibility of your business, signage should be a crucial part of your marketing strategy. Signage can help to make an impact on your intended audience and can create a very strong visual brand, which makes your target market aware that you are operating and are more than willing to offer them your services.

The Benefits Of High Quality Signage

At Crystal Print, we know that high quality signage can hugely benefit any business, if utilised properly. Good signage can be beneficial to your business in a number of different ways, including:

Improved Brand Awareness

Your customers are more likely to buy from a business they have heard of, rather than one they haven’t heard of. This is why maximising your brand awareness is one of the most important things to do when marketing your business, and signage can be one of the best ways to do just that. Eye catching signage can help to advertise your business to people who, over time, may become customers. It also helps to expose your business to already existing customers, which cements the fact that you’re a business who know what you’re doing. Brand awareness should be one of the first things that you try to maximise as a business, which is why we offer our simply magnificent signage services to all of our customers, here at Crystal Print.

 

Differentiate From Your Competitors

If you feel that your business is ‘just part of the crowd’ in your industry, signage can be hugely beneficial to you as a marketing technique. Good, high quality signage helps to differentiate you from your competition and build a simply unique brand. The more unique and distinctive your signage is, the more you will stand out and the more chance you have of generating new customers. Standing out is one of the most important things a company can do as it can help to generate you revenue on a massive scale, through building your customer base.

Improves Functionality

Now, we know that signage has a promotional purpose to any business who is looking to market their brand and their services, but signage helps in a functional role, too. If utilised correctly, signage can help to direct people to your business and products, as well as helping to inform them when you are having a sale or promotion. Due to the functionality of signage, it helps to raise awareness of your marketing activities as well as improving the experience you give to your customers, when providing them with your products or services.

Cost Effective Marketing

Are you trying to advertise your business on a budget? If so, high quality signage from Crystal Print is absolutely perfect for you. We offer truly cost effective prices on all of our signage products and services, which allows you to advertise your business and services effectively, whilst not going over your budgeted allowance. If there is one way to advertise your business as best you can whilst saving money, signage is it.
