Lick at first sight

by | Jun 3, 2019 | Uncategorised

Get noticed with spot gloss in June

We’re all attracted to beauty and shiny things. It’s in our nature and it’s impossible to override. Your marketing can make the most of these basic human instincts.

One way is to add StarMarque spot gloss highlights to your promo material. The contrasting matt base causes the highlights to shimmer in the light. And get noticed. They bring marketing to life. And make people want to lick it. A lot.

It’s best to use StarMarque as a design object in its own right, rather than overlaying a picture or text. Ask us for ideas. And save up to £50 on our StarMarque range in June.

NEW for April. Get the latest Printing Guide today.

by | Apr 2, 2019 | Marketing Tips

Hit them right in the feels, with print.

Your website needs to look impressive. It has to be clear and consistent. You know that already.
But big brands don’t just focus everything online. They combine their online presence with offline marketing.
Why? Print and direct mail is proven to build trust. It’s perceived to be more credible. It plays with emotions.
And it appeals to multiple senses – touch and sight. There’s nothing like it. And you can exploit that power, very cost-effectively.

Sometimes too much choice is daunting. That’s why this guide features our top selling collections. Our most popular, best value ranges. With a few curious and quirky options sprinkled in, to titillate and add allure.

Biodegradable Laminated Print

by | Mar 20, 2019 | From the R&D labs, New product, News, Special Offers

Since we watched Sir David Attenborough on the BBC presenting Blue Planet 2, it’s been impossible to ignore the impact of single use plastics on our oceans and wildlife.

We thought it was time to consider what we could do better.

Biodegradable Laminated Print

On 1st August 2018, we switched all of our matt and gloss laminated print to a new biodegradable laminate. That’s every business card, flyer, folder, booklet cover, appointment card and postcard. It looks like regular lamination and feels lovely. When the print reaches the end of it’s useful life, it composts. Within two years it’s gone. Without leaving any contaminants in the soil.

Your Favourite Products, But Better

Now, when you choose any product from our Starmarque Bio, Luxury Bio or Fabu-gloss Bio ranges, you’ll know that it uses an eco-friendly lamination which won’t end up damaging the environment.

Up To £20 Off In March

Now is the perfect time to give it a go. Try our StarMarque Bio Spot UV Business Cards or our Luxury Bio Matt Laminated Business Cards for less until the end of the month.

Low-cost stock photography has never been more accessible or of such high quality. Now you have 50 million images at your fingertips. Sign in to your online account, search for images you like and add them to your lightbox. Your lightbox is securely shared with your studio – tell us when you’re ready and we’ll purchase the hi-res imagery to use in your next project, for less than you can buy direct.

Get Out part 3: Make them come

Invitations

First things first. The invites. For an intimate event, mail something fancy. For a VIP look, your invites should match the experience. Opt for Opuleaf gold or silver foil or StarMarque spot gloss highlights to impress. For a larger event, leaflets inserted into the local paper or pushed through letterboxes will be appropriate.

Be a social butterfly. Multiply your message by posting the event on social media. Get people interested and build the buzz.

Get Out part 2: Manage your guest list

by | Jul 20, 2017 | Marketing Tips

Online bookingKeeping track of who’s coming to your event is a faff. There’s an easier way. Online booking.
Whether you charge for tickets, or give them away free, ask attendees to register online. That way you know who’s coming, how many pies to buy and how many bottles of prosecco to chill.

If we’ve built your website, let’s design an event landing page. If your site is hosted elsewhere, let’s create an event microsite instead. Both cost less than you might think, can increase engagement and save time. We’ll set up an event dashboard so you can manage your event. Get notifications. Take payment online. Automatically send e-tickets with barcodes. Even download a phone app to check-in guests.

Flag me down all day long

by | Jul 18, 2017 | Marketing Tips

Right. Let’s do a little experiment. On your way home tonight, count the number of flags you see. They’re absolutely everywhere.
Why’s that? Well for around a hundred quid, you can get a three meter high wobbling, fluttering, piece of eye-catching marketing for your business. That’s such great value that it’s no wonder businesses are lining flags up in their car park, on their forecourt and outside their front doors

Cable-tie the flag to your railings, or buy a base or mount to have it freestanding. A water base or water ring is best if you’re going to use it outdoors at an event. And this summer all our flags are reduced.
