Thinking about 2012 already...
...and how to help your customers call You and not a competitor?
There's plenty of ways you can easily put your business, key messages and offers on your customers' desk or office wall... and help them think of you first!
For example, wall planners, desk pads, wall or desk calendars purposely designed with your promotional messages.

Some of these products have personal applications too! For example, what value would your family members put on a calendar featuring your photos and made with them in mind?
Also please remember, unlike the entirely on-line operators, at Colourinc [Basingstoke's local printer] for Christmas and New Year gift items, we provide you with a FREE physical sample before going ahead.
Look forward to speaking to you soon if we can help you in any way at all.
Best Regards

I know it's not Christmas yet!!!
But believe it or not ... we are already printing for Christmas and beyond!
It's certainly keeping us busy! Debbie's just told me we've got virtually every machine running here this morning, the only exception being the KIP plan printer.
That's the Xerox colour machine, two black & white printers (Xerox and Océ), two large format plotters (HP DesignJet and Canon imagePROGRAF) and various finishing machines, including the Duplo folding maching thumping away in the background!

So with Christmas in mind, I thought why not re-run the photos on canvas offer - which was hugely popular amongst our customers earlier this year!
Simply book your order in with me before the 30th September for delivery prior to Christmas (so you've got a bit of time to find the right photo, but still get a great deal):-
- 15% saving on any size, or
- 3 prints for the price of 2 (from the same photo)
- Or even 6 prints for the price of 4 (same photo) if you've got a big Christmas present list!
These make fantastic and unique Christmas presents, particularly family shots, or pictures of the children - in fact anything you like!
With the 15% discount, one 30cm by 30cm print on high quality canvas, gallery wrapped and ready to hang is just £29.75 (including VAT).

Re: Your Photos Printed on Canvas ….. for Personal or Business Purposes!
Typically our clients have photos printed on canvas for hanging at home, or as gifts for the family. Often the picture is a celebration of an event, the kids, a pet or a stunning view from a holiday. We find it genuinely satisfying to see the look of delight, when a customer sees the finished canvas for the first time!
But why not use this sophisticated presentation medium for business purposes too? Maybe a series of photos printed on canvas, for your customers to see your business in its best light? Or a number of pictures of your products or finished work, incorporating some of your key messages?
The largest canvas print we've completed is 3m by 1.8m. It´s so large, it has a purpose made aluminium frame and looks sensational hanging the wall! Matt Light of Tempura Communications who commissioned the production, uses it very effectively as a stunning backdrop for their live video conferences.
To tempt you (hopefully!) I have a couple of offers, both valid until the 15th July:-
- 15% saving on any size, or
- 3 prints for the price of 2 (from the same photo)
With the 15% discount, a 30cm by 30cm print on canvas, gallery wrapped and ready to hang is just £29.75 (including VAT).
More information and pricing is available at www.canvasinc.co.uk. If you'd like to see some of the high quality prints on canvas hanging on our walls, please drop in any time. Or I can visit you and bring a sample with me. It´s up to you!

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Re: Collaborations & Services
As arguably Basingstoke's leading local one-stop-shop printer, there are a number of services outside of “pure printing” that we are often asked to provide. Which include:-
Design & Artwork
Working with Jon Gorka, who runs Multi Creative Services you have access to blue chip standard, creative design and artwork. But at sensible Colour Inc Basingstoke SME sector prices.
Be it a promotional flyer, a corporate brochure, a banner, a flyer, a pop-up stand, business stationery or even a new logo design, we can take your ideas and create eye catching & winning designs.
And if you want, we can even print it for you!!
Website Design & Marketing
Another successful collaboration, available to Colour Inc clients, at real value for money prices, are the skills of Jared Hayter and his colleageus at The Perfection Group.
If you are looking for a new website, a re-fresh of your current website or for a boost to your website marketing, then please call me first to discuss the options.
pdf Editing Service
Yes, you did read that correctly! If you have a pdf file that you didn't create ... but would like to edit, then send it to Debbie info@colourinc.co.uk. There's a good chance she'll be able to break into it for you!
Hope business is good for you too!

Re: Pop Up Displays!
Have you thought how easily and [now] cost effectively a Pop Up Display could put your "message" across?
These work equally well as an internal communication device, or as an Attention Grabber at an exhibition.
There are two types, both have a large printable area 2000mm high by 800mm wide:
- The One Graphic Stand - which once printed is non changeable, and
- The Multi-use Pop-Up Stand - where the printed graphic can be replaced with a newly printed one.
I've put together a cost effective Spring Price Package for Pop Ups - so now there really is very little reason not to use them!
Preview our new Pop Up or please do call in and see the real thing ... you can't miss it as soon as you walk in to our reception area!
Bye the way, we can help you with any artwork if needed and for lead time, ready within a week!
