Cinram - The Rebrand -
Fast, Effective Solutions


With time running out to get their rebranded marketing material produced, Cinram turned to Fresh for help. With only days to spare before launching their new brand identity at an exhibition, Fresh had to produce Pop Up Banners, Full colour brochures, data sheets, business cards and other literature in 2 days.

With the artwork coming from Canada and timeline difference of 5 hours, proofing wasnt easy but with only minutes to spare Fresh delivered it all into Central London as well.

The point to this story is who else in the area could produce all the these different solutions in-house, ontime and to a high spec.

Andy Gerlack from Fresh stated 'It was a bit hairy at times and the whole team sweated a lot to make it achievable, but we managed it, we co-ordinated it brilliantly but it helps that we can do all of these different print solutions all in-house and that we have total control over the job as there are still a lot of design & print companys out there saying they are producing it in-house when in fact they have not got the equipment or expertise  and sending it out.'


So if your looking for fast effective design & print solutions for your business that are all produced in-house the call Fresh on 01296 489998 or 01442 345088 or email us at hello@freshdps.co.uk or visit us at www.freshdps.co.uk/

Is this the Death of a Salesman?


Have you tried
e-marketing?                  

Over the last 2 years we have seen a massive increase in the number of clients that now use us for their e-marketing campaigns, with the economic climate looking like a bumpy road to recovery more and more businesses are looking for better value for money marketing than the usual mediums of press and radio advertising.


What our customers have found by using e-marketing to stay in touch  with their existing clients and to generate new leads is a cost effective sales tool that brings an excellent success rate on their return of investment.


Our clients include some very big names around the Vale and all have had success with us.


Andy Gerlack said ' This is the easiest way of staying in touch with your existing customers and not hassling them at the same time, people dont want to be bombarded with sales calls and this is perfect for letting them know your offers and your news in an easy informal approach, from as little as £100.00 you could send out up to 2000 email addresses and the report you get back can help so much in generating new sales leads.


Gareth Davis for GES said ' We started using Fresh for our e-marketing because we believed that this is the future of keeping your existing clients informed and letting them know what else you could do. Its given us a new dimension to generate very hot leads and convert them quicker by the results who opened and how many times they opened, its been a great sales tool for us.'


So with the increase in e-marketing and the need  for good, cost effective marketing could this be the 'death of the salesman'

Websites R US

Exactly!! We are the first to admit that we are not renowned for doing websites but just recently since we launched back in the summer we have taken on 7 already, 3 of them are about to launch and we will show you the results.

We have always prided ourselves on being creative and design focused and the websites we have produced thus far endorses this. With this in mind we will be launching our new website early in the spring as its being worked on at the moment. But perhaps this the perfect time for us all to look at our own websites with the increase in social networking and online shopping everyone is spending more time looking at sites.

Try to put your customers shoes on and look for your product or service and see if it is easy to find and then see once on it if it presents itself in its best light and is easy to navigate, websites dont have to be a costly exercise to look good and functional as our team here can talk you through it and make it easy if you have an existing one already or you have to have a new one.

Have a look at a couple that we have already launched.

A Momentous Rebrand      


When it comes to challenges this rebrand project has to be the biggest for us to date.

Baxters International Removals wanted to update their identity for the new year and asked Fresh to come up with some ideas with only eight weeks before the official launch.

But this was only the beginning of the challenge - once the logo was decided upon, Fresh also won the business for the marketing programme. This involved the design and production of the exterior signage for all the buldings and the vehicle liveries for the whole fleet of lorries, trailers and cargo containers. It also included producing all the stationery, brochures, folders and forms, a brand new website and an e -marketing campaign! All this had to be ready for the January launch.

Andy Gerlack from Fresh says, " This was an exceptional challenge to meet and where else could one business organise and produce all of these different solutions? This has been one amazing project and I am so pleased with the results."




Simon Osborne, Group Managing Director of Momentous said " Andy and his team at Fresh were exceptional in every department, their attention to detail and their problem solving have been amazing. I would totally recommend them to anybody. They rose to a momentous challenge!"

Not B2B but P2P                                      


I went to a breakfast meeting a couple of weeks ago and got talking to some regular clients of mine who were there and they were talking about how their business is now more focused on B2B ( business to business) rather than relying on the public. I argued the point that all sales focus for new clients or business' should be more P2P  ( people to people).

We all know the old saying that people buy from people and this is completely true. Sales & Marketing is about knowing your audience and interacting with them. Knowing what people want to know and encouraging them to interact with your brand is essential to building loyalty and should never be overlooked. As pro-active as we are we accept that our clients will always know more about their product, but it is our job to know the people and build the relationship and loyalty.

Somewhere along the way a lot of us have undervalued good old fashioned values of service and I find this remarkable as the best way to sell your product or service in the best light is the to sell yourself in its best light and then half the battle is won.

So I told my client that not to use these buzzwords but be more personal, be interested and also interesting and then you wont go far wrong.
