Summer Eventing

Use our business checklist to help you plan
a splendid summer event.

Planning a business summer event can feel daunting. But events are a great way to raise the profile of your business in your local area, to make connections, and to boost sales. Follow our simple checklist below to make sure you’ve got everything in place to ensure your event is a resounding success.

1. Make it memorable

Advertise your event with the most memorable form of marketing – print. These postcards have a summery feel and have a glossy biodegradable laminate on the front.

2. Be mindful

Help your guests to feel safe with the right social distancing devices. Branded masks, sanitising stations, printed messages and signs are all part of our Covid-19 range.

3. Look credible

Make sure you look the business at your event with low cost durable signage, indoors and out. Get custom sized panels cut to shape or choose from a range of sizes.

4. Feel eventful

Make your business event look and feel like a true celebration with colourful, fluttering flags. Arrange them together in groups of three, four or five for maximum impact.

5. Think spacial

Help social distancing by dividing areas with café barriers. Print markers like ‘Entrance’ or ‘This Way’ to help with navigation. Remember to brand them with your logo too.

6. Be relaxed

Ensure your guests have somewhere comfortable to sit so they’ll hang around for longer. Personalised deckchairs will bring a summer vibe to your event and they look cool.

Brand it

A collection of new and unusual ways
to promote your business.

Humans are hard-wired to pay attention to anything we’ve not seen before. But we’re also programmed to trust things we’re familiar with – that’s why branded items work so well in marketing.


Cool stuff gets noticed instantly, and seeing a brand every day develops relationships and creates a bond.
Winning new business needs multiple touch-points. Go ahead and introduce yourself, with innovative and eye-catching ideas from September’s collection of captivating curiosities.

Here are some of our favourites…

Socks

Get your brand travelling in style with unisex personalised socks. From the moment they’re pulled on in the morning, to when they’re taken off at the end of the day, they’ll be reminding the wearer of your wonderful brand.

Magnets

Colourful, branded magnets that are both useful and decorative, are likely to end up stuck on fridges and radiators for month, if not years. A great way to make your brand feel familiar with clients and would-be customers.

Air Fresheners

Smell is our most powerful sense. It instantly connects memories. Associate your brand with a fragrance and make people feel good.

Make more of the Great Outdoors

Outdoor branding and event ideas
can help to take your business outside.

With lockdown easing, customers are being welcomed back with open arms. Well, more of a socially-distant-wave from a well-sanitised hand, than a warm hug. But nevertheless it’s a welcome sign as businesses look to reboot.

Post-lockdown advice can be a little muddling at times but one thing is very clear – outside is best. The covid-bashing combo of safe distances and the great outdoors significantly helps to reduce the chance of spreading any nasties. Keep hand sanitiser handy and you’re good to go.

Table tops to roof tops. Collections under canopies. Breaks on the benches. Open air events. Meetings moving outside. However you’re planning to make the most of the great outdoors, our weatherproof covid-secure collection has it covered.

Here are some of our favourite
outdoor products on offer this month.

10% off Gazebo’s

Our Gazebos are hot sellers. Use them at outdoor events and markets. Or for temporary workspace shelters you can assemble anywhere. Although they’re designed for outdoor use, they’re great indoors too. So when things do move back inside safely, you’ve got a ready made self-contained exhibition stand.

10% off Giant Deckchairs

Create an Instagrammable centrepiece for your beer garden, outdoor attraction or event. Our Giant Deckchairs are printed in full colour with your branding on waterproof fabric and seat two people (from the same household ofc). They’re locked into position with a hasp lock, to help keep things nice and safe.

10% off Pop-out Banners

Pop out banners are compact and self erect like magic. Choose from a tall and slim or low and wide banner shape. Both are double sided – have the same message on both sides or mix it up. Flexible way-finding signage that can appear anywhere in an instant. Supplied with ground pegs to secure them to grassy surfaces.

Ready for social distancing?

Before businesses are permitted to get back to work, it’s likely they will need to have taken steps to become a ‘covid-secure’ environment.

This might mean signage and floor graphics to reinforce social distancing procedures, installing protective barriers, or providing face masks to staff.

We’ve put together a collection of products to help businesses reinforce social distancing methods, so they can get ready to reopen in a safe and practical way. Find our top picks below, or browse the whole range at http://prt.cm/16d2fe1

 

SNEEZE GUARDS

Help to protect workers and customers in shops, newsagents, post offices, pharmacies and other retail environments with a portable sneeze guard. They feature an acetate window to aid communication and a cut-out area at the bottom for handling transactions.

BRANDED FACE MASKS

Wearing a face mask helps to reduce the distance that droplets can travel via breathing, talking, coughing, or sneezing. Printed in full colour with your logo or branding, these masks are a great addition to workwear. Please note: these are not medical grade masks.

FREESTANDING SIGN POSTS

These freestanding sign posts can be accessorised with an A4 plastic wallet or snap frame on the front and reverse. Alternatively, a permanent message can be printed on both sides. Use in busy spaces like shops, pharmacies and factories where important safety messages need to be reinforced at ground level.

FLOOR STICKERS

Encourage customers to stay a safe distance apart and reinforce important safety messages with instructional floor stickers. Choose between indoor or outdoor variations. The outdoor option is made from an aluminium based substrate and can be recycled.

All in this together

Being in business is often about adapting to adversity. Coping with the unexpected. Responding to change.

There will be disruption of course. But when we pull together, we can rise to the challenge. Every business across the country has a role to play. It’s business as unusual. But we need to keep the wheels of commerce in motion and together we’ll get through this. Below are some ideas to help you navigate these unusual times.

CLEARLY DISPLAY INFORMATION

Use large format posters to tell people you’re open for business, have temporarily relocated or changed opening hours. Let customers know how to get in touch. Advertise your phone number, social media and web address.

NAVIGATE EVERY VISITOR SAFELY

Do you need to change access to your premises? Maybe your team are now working from home. Or you have new check-in rules. Use wayfinding soft signage. Help people understand what to do and where to go.

BE YOUR SECOND BEST

We know gatherings are getting cancelled and postponed. Follow up every lead, enquiry or quote request with a printed pack. If you can’t deliver your message in person, trust a printed presentation folder to get the deal over the line.
