Happy Holidays
Do you usually make 'owt over the summer?
This is our 26th year running a print shop on the South Coast and 17th year assembling our team tactics in this our CSMA club magazine and we are none the wiser really, well maybe a tad.
We have gone through the never taking any time off stage as we found no one missed us too much, ahh, sound familiar? If not you should try it, especially in July or August.
Then followed years spent dreaming up aimless activity to keep everyone busy in the summer during the holiday season, now that is a clue really. Holidays. 25% of your customers may be away at the same time, school holidays mean mass exodus. You cannot buck this trend so tune in and either get away yourself or plan some extra summery sales. Language schools, Art Shows, Sports Schools, Exhibitions, T-shirts, Hens, Stags, Fun Runs etc... then Back to School and round you go again.
I guess we all very much flagged out due to the footie, but hey there are so many other sporting and social events needing outside signage. Nail your print credentials to the mast and get out there with your own banner and flag samples to lead by example.
As usual we have projects and beta testing throughout the break and you are invited to get involved.
Peter, raising print standards, Foulkes
