Mail Shot

Decided to do a small mailshot last week, only a 100 or so. 2 days later had an enquiry for a banner, 2m x 61cm.
The client concerned wanted delivery next day, Giraffe Press obliged, produced the banner and in fact delivered hours early.
Client most satisfied, so much so that they sent an email, "it's brilliant, thank you so much for all your help".

So satisfying when you get a thanks.

Proud


Have now finished the Wealth Wizards Goody Bags, and they look absolutely FAB. Rachel Elnaugh is really chuffed with them. It was the first job produced on my new vinyl cutter - FC8000-60.

Because Rachel and I are so pleased with the final product that I have to let everyone see it, so here it is.

Bespoke Bags

Have just completed the Goody Bags for the Wealth Wizards Event, and have to say, they look absolutely BRILLIANT, Matt Black Laminated bags, with Rachel Elnaugh' Logo on them in Gold Vinyl.

Looking forward to seeing you all there on 5th October.

COR-What a Shock

Saw myself on telly today, Britain' Funniest People, but hasten to add that I was NOT the silly one!!
Don't know who sent the clip in, but it must be at least 20 years old.
Even my daughter came running down stairs to tell me she had just seen me on the telly.

Vinyl Cutter

Have now ordered my new Vinyl Cutter, Graphtec FC8000-60, top of the range. Will be able to contour cut S/Adhesive labels all in one process, print to large format printer, Canon iPF6100, then run straight through to vinyl cutter, and then cut the sheet as wanted by customer, ie; A4, A5, or just one roll of labels up together on an A1 sheet. Great bit of kit, and it has many uses, vinyl lettering for Banners, T-Shirts, S/Adhesive labels, as above, plus much more.

New Start

After almost 30 years working in the family business, I have eventually left, well thrown out. A very sad and heartbreaking time.

But have now started my own business, perhaps some may say a little late in life, but hey, what the heck, the aforementioned new business is giraffepress.

We are offering a vast range of services, from the normal business stationery items, Letterheads, Business Cards, NCR Sets & Pads, through to POS material.

And yes, we will be "sticking our neck out further for you"

Adding Twitter

Have seen others do this, so thought I would see if it is as easy as they say to add twitter, and hey, guess what, IT IS, so now I have really got my work cut out; running a new business, regular blogging and of course must keep my tweets up to date.
