2012 - The Year for hard work and optimism

Happy New Year to you all, I hope you all prosper, get what you want and have some fun while getting there this year.

There are many things this year that we can all do to keep positive, there are the Olympics for starters followed by the Paralympics to inspire us, the Diamond Jubilee of our beloved Queen, not to mention great sporting occasions like the boat race, the national, the FA Cup, Wimbledon, and a great summer of Cricket.

We have so much in this country to be proud of and even locally here as I sit looking out of my window looking at the Chiltern Hills and the historic Hartwell House in the forefront. I think sometimes we all take for granted how great this country is and yes the last 3 years have been very difficult but it is up to each and everyone of us to do our own very small part to make it great again.

Here at Fresh we are planning our year on how we are going to do our bit and as a business we can do a lot, each year we have a dedicated charity we look after and give them as much printed literature as we can to help them promote themselves.

We also help out schools with free paper and we advertise in local parish magazines so as they put the money to good use in their community. Every year we look at what we can do locally to make a difference, we like to champion local business in our shop and on our blogs and website. So I think its about time everybody took a look to see what you could do just to make a small difference to helping our local economys, after all it will be our small businesses that will get us out of this recession and push the economy into a growth statistic.

Goog luck this year, my fellow entrepreneurs, hard work and optimism go a very long way.

A Hot and Spicy New Image         

When it comes to creating a new image for a brand new Mexican restaurant in the Aylesbury Town Centre where else do people come to and have the confidence that it will be delivered on time and to their requirements.

This was the case for Bandidos Mexican Restaurant. They came to us looking for a complete image brand and what we came up with, they were absolutely thrilled by.

Kevin Brook said ' We needed to come up with an exciting contemporary image to get Bandidos noticed and I feel we achieved what we set out to do, the restaurant is always packed so we must have succeeded, we have an extremely creative team that always come up with the goods'.  

So if you feel your image could do with some tweaking or perhaps a little refresh to get you noticed more then email us at hello@freshdps.co.uk or call us on 01296 489998 or 01442 345088

Be Distinct or Be Extinct        

Exactly as the title says, its not just about how your products or service looks, its about how your sales people perform, how your customer service department handle your customers, how quickly you can deliver, how the quality of your product stands up and how your price compares with the next person.

All of these have to be right to achieve success in a tough marketplace, you need to be distinct enough to stand out from the rest of your competition as there will always be someone else ready to step into your shoes.

So what does make the difference in todays market-place?

Its always  been said 'dont judge a book by its cover' but when your pitching for that new contract or sending out that brochure with your quote then the first impression is always the only one you will get, so its important to get it right with your company branding.

Take a look at your company, make a list of the plus points and the minus then give us a call and let us do the same to your company and see if we agree with your points or disagree.

Our job at Fresh is to give honest advice on your image and how to improve it, you might not like what we have to say but we will give you the helpful advice on how to make your company get that first impression right.

So give us a call on 01296 489998 or 01442 345088 or email us at hello@freshdps.co.uk

School Student Planners      


After another successful summer producing student planners, prospectus' and other school material, we thought we would showcase what we have been doing, every year more schools come on board to our way of thinking that print does not need to be boring and that we can offer so much variety and personalization to any document.

When we started looking at the market for schools and student planners we found out that we could produce a planner completely unique to that school and be more cost effective than their current supplier.

So what we have been doing each year is slowly increasing our capacity of who we offer the service to without compromising on the quality as well and what we have now in place is a unique system to produce large volume student planners  from a short deadline, so there is no need for schools to worry about getting planners and prospectus signed off by early March and they can now change policys, staff lists right up until the end of the summer term.


Georgina Harwood from Adeyfield School declared. ' I was astonished by the new look of our student planner and our teacher planners as well, what Andy and his team at Fresh have given us, is something that the students and teachers love and that can evolve and be changed so easily. I am so glad Andy came to see me.'

Andy Gerlack from Fresh said ' We have a proven system that works for schools and everytime we show a school what they could have, they jump at the chance, we have the nice problem of that we cannot offer it to everyone as we will be swamped so which is why we only increase our capacity of 5 schools per year so we dont let anybody down and that way we learn how to cope with the demand and everybody is happy with the results.'

If you want to find out what we can do for your school then email us at hello@freshdps.co.uk or call us on 01296 489998 or 01442 345088.

The results as you can see are fantastic and look great as the centre piece of any exhibition stand, we have become specialists at this type of work now and can produce all different shapes and sizes even if you have an existing stand we can replace all the graphics to cost effectively.

If you have an existing stand that you need the graphics replacing or you need some ideas for your stand then email us at hello@freshdps.co.uk or call us on 01296 489998 or 01442 345088.
