Promotional Scottish Cards

Have you thought abot having your own unique Promotional Scottish Greeting Cards? - They are an ideal way to celebrate company birthdays, corporate anniversaries and almost any event which you are holding throughout the year.

Supply your printer with a photograph or drawing and some text and they will do the rest. If you are stuck give Flavell a call- they are Scottish Card specialists

Scottish Invitation card packs are also a fantastic idea for a wedding or a dinner or small event.

If you are a Clan society or organisation why not personalise an existing card or design with your own name or design.

A really popular item is a Cellophane Bagged card with envelopes featuring a tartan border especially in either Royal Stewart or Black Watch tartan. Make sure you leave space to write date, time, place, etc on your Scottish Card

Good luck with your Scottish Card promotions

so first

System of calculating year: a system of calculating the days and months of the year and when the year begins and ends

Scottish Notebooks and Stationery Branding

Tips on getting the best from your Retail and Visitor Centre Stationery Branding

Several Clients have asked Gordon Flavell designs recently on how they could produce inexpensive promotional stationery items to sell in their retail environments.

I have suggested having their logo in a prominent position on their Notebooks and Pads. Ideally the best notebook sellers are those with an image showing their attraction such as the Bo'ness Railway Notebook or making it slightly more unusual with an unusual typeface such as the papranormal investigator for Mercat Ghost Tours.

Either way you want to make it as personalised as possible so that the notebook becomes a perfect pick-up line for children and visitors alike.

We have some other ideas on our notebook page of the web site

yours Aye

Tips on Advertising Note Pads

How to get more sales from your Advertising Note Pads

Benefit now from these tried and tested killer strategies to increase your enquiries – Your phone could be ringing within 10 days and your next sales figures could be your best ever.

You know the problem – you are so busy dealing with the crisis of the day that you do not have time to speak to your customers as often as you would like – not only that - your clients are dealing with their own dramas and have no time to chat until they urgently need your special product or service.

Imagine the scene – your customer has just realised that they desperately need a product or service which you can supply. They instantly turn to their trade directory and begin to jot down some phone numbers of your potential competitors until that is - they see on their notepad that you also supply that product.

Yes that small perhaps seemingly insignificant hidden silent salesman is just waiting ready to be triggered and brought into action.

So - who will your customer turn to first? Someone they know and trust and deal with or someone completely unknown. - You of course.

Your customer now urgently wants your expert advice and is ready to place that all important order - NOW.


How often has a customer or client said – I didn’t realise that you did this as well

Best of Luck
