The Sockcreatures


It was a great pleasure to meet John Lakey of Odd Sock Creatures at @The_Pitch last week.

It was a fantastic day, had by all I'm sure. I made some great contacts, contacts with such great passion about what they are doing and full of inspiration.

Quite amazing really, that we often pay for mentoring, yet, when a great host of entrepreneurs get together, pitching their ideas and guests, how much advice we can all share to the benefit of each other.

I wonder, perhaps, if it's time for 'group mentoring' a place where we can all meet and exchange ideas, without being a networking event as such. As it appears that when such people are together, in an environment like last week, everyone seems so much more relaxed and willing to network without even realising it.

Anyway back to sockcreatures. John Lakey, among others who I met, is a truly fantastic guy. Together with his wife, they design, produce and distribute the most amazing product, bringing together the whole family. Real interaction between children and adults/parents.

A great way to spend some quality time together as a family, instead of watching endless hours of TV. And at the end, your child will have a wonderful creature to be proud of, love and cherish for years to come, knowing that they have made their own little pet creature.

John, as the great man he is, with his wife, put together a wonderful sockiraffe, hope he doesn't mind me calling it that :-) and posted it to me. I received my sockiraffe this morning, and brought a real smile to face, yep that's right, a smile to my face, cheered my day up no end.

Thanks to you John & your Wife, for the time and effort you have put in to my sockiraffe, it is very much appreciated and will be placed in my office in a prime position.

We will keep you updated on the progress of your job/product, and when I say I will deliver on a certain, I will deliver. You can contact me at any time, day and night, unlike 'online' printers.

With online ordering once you have 'uploaded' your artwork, that's it, your order is now out of your hands, if there are any issues with your file, it's down to you! If I find any issues with your file, that you have emailed to me, I will inform you, so that you can be assured of quality at all times.

Just to emphasise this, I thought I would post some testimonials from work recently done.

1. "Thank you so much for producing my banner on such short notice and for bringing it to the venue last night. I am really impressed both with the print quality and the easy assembly and carrying case (not to mention your excellent customer service)! I will recommend you to anyone I may hear of with printing needs.

It was also really nice to meet you".

Thank you for reading this, and I look forward to reading any comments you may have.




Changing Graphics

Giraffepress/Banners will soon be implementing a system in our Roll-Up Banners, that allows YOU the user to change YOUR graphic easily.

For an additional £10.00 you will be able to change your graphic very simply, time & time again.
Although you will pay the additional charge, it will, in the long run be far cheaper for you.

As I am sure you are aware, previously you would have had to have taken your Roll-Up Banner back to where you purchased it, or posted it back to your supplier, then have waited until it was ready, for either collection or to be posted back to you, costing time and money, or even just thrown it away and ordered a complete new Roll-Up Banner.

I am sure will agree this is a far cheaper and convenient way of changing your graphic.

Banners +

At GiraffeBanners we produce an array of Banners, in size and style.

Roll-Up/Tension Banners are a great way to advertise your business, it's products, or, special offers and promotions that you maybe offering to your clients. Whether it be through exhibitions & events, or on the counter of your retail shop/outlet.

For the retail counter or home visiting business we have the perfect banner, the desktop banner. It comes in 2 sizes, A4 & A3, and comes in a box for convenient storage.
We will be adding to the range of desktop banners shortly, with our mini 'X'-Banner (A4). We anticipate that it will retail for around £10 + P&P.

Tension Banners are probably the most cost effective banner available, being easy to transport, easy to erect, just minutes in fact, and your graphic can easily be changed by you, so there is no need to re-order a whole new system.

So why not visit GiraffeBanners now, or alternatively ring Jason on 07850 757605.

We look forward to being of service to you.
