Southampton Restaurant Business Card

We are often asked for a "simple" business card. I think what most business owners want is a business card that not only gives propective customers their contact details but a business card that also helps sell the business. Afterall is you just want to pass on contact details why not use a bit of paper?

The above images show the initial brief given to us by our customer (My Dreams in Southampton) on the left and the final design and printed business card on the right. The cardboard effect is printed onto the business card - click on the image to see this better. The business card on the right is far more interesting than a bit of paper and importantly through its design gives prospective customer confidence in the business.

Southampton Restuarant Menu

My Dreams is a new restaurant on Shirely High Street near Southampton.

The owners wanted a menu (or leaflet) that reflected the style of their restuarant and had come up with some ideas - see the images on the left. After a consultation we thought we could come up with something much more creative that would actually sell the restaurants to customers. The actual printed menu is on the right. Note on the bottom right menu the creases are printed onto the menu - click on the image to get a better view.

The owners were delighted with the finished menu that we designed and printed and agree that if two menus were posted through their letterbox they would definately pick the resturant with the menu on the right.

Eurotank Southampton Pad

We print a variety of different kinds of pads including NCR pads, sticky note pads, desk pads and as above ordinary note pads. These were printed for Eurotank Enviromental - based in Southampton. Eurotank are specialist contractor consultants to the petroleum industry.

As a rug-rat, if you didn't get enough attention you just SCREAMED (maybe until you threw up your milk). No-one likes to get ignored, especially if it's your customers who are doing the ignoring. With Notepads you get to deliver them as presents to your customers, safe in the knowledge that every time they scribble something down, it's your business that SCREAMS at them.

Steamy Windows Business Cards

Steamy Windows, based in Romsey near Southampton, replaces damaged doubled glazed units. If double glazed units loose their seal, water gets in and they become "steamed up" - hence the company name. Steamy Windows can also fix other related problems with windows and doors - see the business card.

We designed and printed these business cards for them. This is a well designed business card, over and above a plain business card, for 3 important reasons :

1. It includes confidence building "trade" logos - namely "Buy with Confidence" and "Check a trade". These 3rd party organisations vouch for the credibilty and reputation of member business - vitally important for referrals.

2. The card includes a detailed list of what services are offered. This is also important when getting business via referral to make sure the recipient of the card knows exactly what the business does.

3. The card is good quality, well designed and has an eye catching spot UV finish on the back that looks like steam! The recipient of this business card will be impressed and therefore think better of the company that it advertises. Again vital for referrals.

Remember you can get referrals from your contacts and customers passing on your business card to people you haven't met. Which is why a business card is so important as it is effectively advertising your business.

Printed Envelope

We produced these printed envelopes for RCCG Holy Ghost Zone Southampton.

We print a range of overprinted envelopes in 2 or full colour on 90gsm and 120gsm - see our website for prices. Printed envelopes are a great way to brand company stationery, the receiver will know who its from before opening the envelope, or for solving administration problems such as in the above example. Here the envelope is used as a form to collect information about church donors but we have also produced similar printed envelopes for such things as collating car service documentation for a garage and account information for a factory.

Natural Beauty A4 Folded Leaflet

Natural Beauty, based in West Wellow near Southampton, offers beauty treatments using the ultimate in skincare products. They offer facials, massages, waxing and manicures for discerning clients.

The above leaflet was initially drafted by the client using MS Publisher. We quite often get artwork given to us in MS Publisher and MS Word. Neither of these products are great for producing print standard artwork - they just don't have the features to make the fine adjustments needed.

However we can finish off artwork for our clients and quickly turn it into something that looks professional. In the above example we added some stock photography, designed a flowery swirl to add interest, formatted the text for the roll fold, made all the type consistent and allowed for the artwork to bleed off the page, e.g. so there was not gap at the page edge.

Power & Sail Leaflet

Power & Sail provide marine electrical design, installations, sales and repair for the sports, leisure and charter boat sectors that includes motorboats, powerboats, ribs, fishing vessels and racing/ cruising yachts. They are based in Lymington and Southampton but operate across the south coast.

It goes without saying that boats don’t come cheap and so boat owners are very discerning when it comes to selecting a company to handle their maintenance. That’s why it was vitally important to Power & Sail that their marketing material reflected the high quality, premium service that they offer.

For the above leaflet Power & Sail provided the text, images and logo - then following their brief we produced the leaflet design.

It’s immediately obvious that this leaflet has been professionally designed. Therefore anyone picking up this leaflet will feel reassured that they are dealing with a professional company. The images on the front grab attention while the reverse provides the necessary details.
