Reflo Socks Point of Sale


We've produced these point of point of sale tent cards for Reflotherapies, based in Marchwood near Southamton, who sell reflosocks.

Reflosocks have unique patented ridges which stimulate specific reflexology zones on the bottom of the feet as you walk or stand. Wearing the socks offers drug free pain relief for the back and neck.

Tent cards are a cost effective way to create some point of sale information as in this example. And as they are printed both sides you can also have two different designs within the same card.

Tent cards can also be used to promote your business on a customer's desk. They are excellent for calendars, essential phone numbers, crucial advice and all the amazing ideas that you can think of.

Logo Design Southampton

We help companies with their branding. Be it an established business or a brand new start up we have the experience as well as some trusted tools and techniques to help our customers.

Here is an example of a logo we designed as part of a branding process. The first image shows the initial idea our customer had for his company Oyo Mesi Productions.
Oyo was a 15th Century West African Empire and the Mesi were it’s elected councillors.
We developed different concepts for the logo – using different typefaces, colours etc. The second image shows the preferred concept. The earpieces of the headphones make the two Os and the wire the Y.

However as part of the development we questioned the company name. This ultimately led to the renaming of the company to Fitilla Productions – fitilla means lamp.

The third image shows the revised logo.

The last image shows the business card design and how we’ve reinforced the “brand” by using the headphones independently of the company name – this is a spot uv finish.

Intech Fat Folder


If you need to hand out lots of bumpf, thick brochures, CDs, samples and the like then Fat Folders could be the answer.

HantsWight Wallplanner


This is a Super A1 Wallplanner we've just done for HantsWight Searches.

Based in Portsmouth, they provide conveyancing searches for property transactions in Hampshire, West Sussex and the Isle of Wight. Through their membership of the 2 professional bodies for the industry they can offer a national coverage.

Wallplanners are a great to give to your customers. They're really useful and have a high percieved value. In this example we've added HantsWights logo and contacts details at the top, matched the colour scheme to the brand and even added some special dates. Now every time one of HantsWights customers looks up they know who to call if they need a property search.

You can have a 1000 A2 Wallplanners from 52p each - so you don't need to make many sales (as a result of the wallplanner) before you get your money back.

We tend to design wallplanners for customer who sell "business to business", whose recipients are likely to put them on their office walls for important dates, meetings and appointments. For example, courier companies, stationery suppliers, trade suppliers etc. We also do them for customers who sell "business to consumer", for example restaurants and take-aways, tradespeople, professional services, hair/beauty salons and many more.

Give us a call if you think this could be a cost effective way of getting some more business in 2010.

Hartley Resourcing Greetings Card


This is a greetings card we did for Hartley Resourcing in Southampton.

Hartley Resourcing is setting new standards in the local recruitment market by taking a simple, honest, customer focused approach for their candidates and clients. They have a very experienced and hard working team who get results – you can read the testimonials on their website.

Hartley Resourcing sends this card to congratulate candidates on their new job. This is a nice touch, as everyone loves to receive cards and if it’s a good one like this, it will almost certainly be displayed on the new desk. It’s also a gentle reminder of the good work done by Hartley Resourcing so next time there is a recruitment requirement they will be consulted first.

Remember a customer is for life, not just for Christmas, so why not love them all year round? Make a note of dates that are important to them (like a new employee) and send them a handwritten greetings card. Major brownie points – TRUST US.

Peq Lab Catalogue


We produced this marvellous catalogue for PEQLAB.

PEQLAB provides excellent, good value products, supported by experienced laboratory staff, to molecular and cell biology laboratories. They are based in Fareham near Southampton.

This is a great example of a 1/3 A4 booklet with 170gsm silk inners and a 250gsm matt laminated cover. PEQLAB send it out to new customers to show them the range of products that they offer. PEQLAB have a comprehensive website but the booklet is a nice format for customers to browse and tempt them to visit the website to view demonstrations of the products. All this plus an attractive 20% off voucher should help persuade customers to place some orders.

We do a range of booklets in all different shapes and sizes from A6 to A4, with thick covers which we can die-cut or add spot UV. We have lots of examples in the studio.

Jury's Inn Southampton Leaflet


We designed and printed this 2 panel DL leaflet for Jurys Inn in Southampton.

They wanted a leaflet (and some posters) to promote their cruise packages. Jurys Inn offer special pre and post cruise accommodation as well as day guest packages for people to relax before embarking. The packages include transfers between Southampton Airport and the cruise terminals as well as car parking.

We worked with Jurys Inn to design the leaflet and to make sure it fitted in with their corporate branding. It was printed on 150gsm gloss paper.

Leaflets folded down to DL size, like in this example, are so versatile. They can convey a lot of information but are also easy to hand out, leave in leaflet dispensers or use in a direct mail campaign. They look great in glorious full colour and are a very cost effective way of getting your message out.
