News from the front
JPP news is proud to announce the birth of the new printed pens site, a great addition to our suite of sites and full of new products. Eco friendly to executive and budget to expensive the range of products has increased. There are some really stunning pens such as the LPC 026, 027 and 028 from Lecce, these are pens with a combination of deep lacquer and gold plate and I am sure that these will fly off the shelf at Christmas time. The Evolution Roller Ball is another new product, relatively inexpensive but none the less a really good pen, it compares well with the Parker Vector for example.
It is a good idea to become thoroughly familiar with this site as I declared to a potential customer yesterday that the Panther Extra Ball Pen was not one of ours – bad mistake.
Baseball caps - remember that the website does include some items that cannot be obtained here in the UK so it is always best to check the stock before you quote.
Remember that for stress products the lead time is about 4 – 5 weeks for most items on the web site so beware when quoting.
Ring binders with full height pockets front and spine and polypropylene boxes can be produced quickly if no print is required. Many customers are pressing for the shortest possible lead times at present; check with production before you quote.
Mouse mats continue to sell well with Brite Mats becoming more popular and hard top mats often being custom shaped, tear drops seem to be very common at present.
Printed mugs have not been doing so well just recently, ever since the TOP-MUG site disappeared in fact but we are doing our best to rectify the situation and are slowly getting more enquiries for these products, keep on pushing, the product is good and the prices keen.
On a different note I am off for a short break to Switzerland next week, I’ll send you a yodel! Happy selling.
