JANUARY 2010

Poor 2009!    It has been blamed for a multitude of sins, including the near-fall of the banks, the recession, and anything else bad that happened during the 12 months.

However, like most business people, I welcome 2010 with open arms, and the hope it will be a better year than last.

During a recession, my sort of business can go two ways

Clients stop all overheads that are not ‘necesssary’ such as promotional gifts.

OR they think the best way to get out of the recession, is to advertise, that way is good for me.

2009 was a mixture of both for Happy-Play, whilst it had it’s good times, it also had it’s times when everything seemed to be an uphill battle.

2010 – is going to be a good year – Why?   Because I am positive and also because I SAY SO!

There are lots of super items to be branded and given away to promote your businesses.    The old favourites such as pens, keyrings, badges etc. are always a good economical start.  Other items are available and ideas if you want any.

Over the entire Christmas period, I was working to find some propping items for a client, who is holding a Conference this month.     They wanted a wide variety of goods from coffee cups, to artificial lawn carpet, plastic insects and sweets.

It involved a lot of research on my part, but it was very interesting.     Some of the items required were child-related and I did have fun finding (and not I will not confess to playing), with them.

My client and her boss have just sent me an e-mail thanking me for finding ALL the items they needed, and delivering to them on schedule too.

Happy-Play Promotions, is not just my website – I can find almost anything you might need for any purpose.    To me, it is fun looking, and a challenge from the usual items.

I can also collate and post out for you, or pack items for you.    I can pick up from your premises, and take away the items required, and bring back as soon as  you require them, packed, collated, or whatever you need.

To give you an idea of some of the items I sourced in 2009:-

Chattering, Walking  False Teeth

Glitter Putty

Bio Free Pen

Badges with photographic image, attached to printed cards

Old Fashioned sweets, packed into a printed box

3D Design t-shirts

Spa Water bottles with logo

Christmas tree plants with card and ribbon attached    Etc. etc. etc.

I really would love to hear from you – it doesn’t cost you to e-mail me with your requests or thoughts on what you may require – I will have a look, quote you, and provide samples where possible for you to view before making up your mind.

I wish you a good 2010, and hopefully we can make it together.
