Keep it clean! a punderfully themed 60 second pitch.

This morning I shared a cleaning company themed 60 second pitch with my #business sales team at Fortress Fareham (BNI)
How many #puns can you spot this week? Are there any more you can think of that I could have used?

Good morning!

I’m Nigel Williams and I can blow up your clients logo using my Canon! From a business card size to an A zero sized poster and beyond!

Punderfully named cleaning company (image source: The Sun)

I am the owner of Afford a Print, based in #Southampton, with clients across the uk.

This week an intro to a cleaning company would be neat. Specifically, I want you to scour your contacts for an intro to Hippo Cleaning Services, specifically Olly / Oliver Page – based in Southampton.

If you know Oliver, let’s speak after and we can plan the fresh intro.

Why refer business to me? because we wipe the floor compared to our competition. This is because our customer reviews have swept us to the number 1 spot- out of over 1,000 other print services across the whole of U.K. on the Freeindex Directory.

Here is an example 5 star review from a cleaning company:

What can I say I phoned Nigel for a quote and within minites I had a e-mail with a quote. After giving him the go ahead I e-mailed him … and he worked his magic and produced a brilliant client #newsletter ! You may find this as nothing out of the ordinary but I discovered that Nigel did this while being very ill, which resulted in him ending up in hospital and to prove his exceptional service he even texted me from his hospital bed on the day of delivery to give me the hour time slot of delivery! If you are looking for #affordableprinting and great service, give Nigel a call or call me for a reference. Wayne A+ Cleaning Services.

So if it’s a bright #businesscard, a shiny set of #printedbooklets, or a polished #poster – for all your client’s #printing needs, choose Afford A Print, where we have the cure for the common card!

10 reasons to send business Christmas Cards this year… Number 8 is a no brainer!

    1. It tells your customers that you still exist to provide them with your services. It’s quite possible people will have a doubt about what businesses are still around after this year’s COVID-19 drama.
    2. It’s another way to thank them for their relationship – maybe include a gift, like a custom voucher, tucked inside? (Why not consider custom thank you cards to send out during the year too – we can help you with those).
    3. To tell them about anything new you are doing – you could include a flyer about this. Many companies have changed what they do or the services they offer in light of COVID-19. (Talk to us for a flyer quote).
    4. Compliment it with a free calendarfor the year ahead – so your brand stays on their desk or wall all year round – include a special offer each month to encourage their ongoing relationship. we can print your custom calendars – contact us for a quote (See our article – https://www.affordaprint.co.uk/10-reasons-market-business-printed-calendar/).
    5. It continues to boost confidence in your brand – a branded card speaks much more than something purchased in a shop. It is most cost effective – when you consider most good cards in the shop are over £1 each. Some we have done recently worked out at only 24p each (148mm square) and 17p each (rectangular, A5 folded to A6). We can also provide you with a quote for design (if needed). Here are some some design examples put together for our customers:

7. They don’t have to be business branded – have a different design as your own personal cards – again, more cost effective than from the shops – and much more personal.
8. The open rate of an email campaign recently was estimated at 80% (see https://www.campaignmonitor.com/resources/guides/email-marketing-benchmarks/)- So out of 100 contacts, less than 18 will open them.
With that in mind, what percentage will open a Christmas card from you? To answer that question – how many Christmas cards do you open that arrive in the post? So, in many ways, this would be better than an email campaign.
Something to bear in mind while considering other cards too during the year – Easter, Birthdays, Anniversaries and Thank You cards.
9. Depending on who you send these to, why not include a newsletter – your latest email campaign, but in printed format – the open rate will end up being more!
10. The human touch – we have all been stuck behind screens for so long this year! Greeting cards carry with them a sense of warmth and appropriate intimacy that makes the content of the card all that more important to the recipient. Especially at this time, include a personal message – tempting as it may be to have everything automated – a personal pen written message will stand out as very human in such a technologically drenched time.

 

Talk to us about your Greeting Card project – we would love to hear from you.

Helping launch a brand new magazine – 60 second pitch

Recently we were recommended to a young lady who needed help formatting her first magazine for printing. Here is a brief summary in the format of a 60 second business pitch (read out at our excellent business referral meeting BNI Fortress Fareham):

Good morning,

Nigel Williams from Afford A Print, based in Southampton, delivering across the UK.

Story this week, another 5 star review on Freeindex saying this:

“I ordered 200 copies of a children’s magazine I put together. I’m thirteen years old and never done anything like this before…..”

So – we provided help from the ground up – about what she needed to do to make her magazine format ready to print.

She went on to say…

“The service was amazing, all my questions were answered and everything was explained clearly. The posting was super fast. I was really impressed with the quality of the magazine. The price was also really good. I’ll definitely be using Afford A Print, if I decide to make another issue.”

This is something we see time and again – customers saying how they appreciate our work from start to finish.

This week, I would love an introduction please to your contacts who have stapled magazines or product catalogues – specifically Mark Durrant at MD Truck and Trailer Spares Ltd in Fair Oak.

So to save your clients a mint, send them to Afford A Print!

Incidentally, since the meeting where we pitched this, we were introduced by someone in the room to Mark at MD Truck and Trailer Spares Ltd.

60 seconds on the landscape

Amazing business meeting again this week at BNI Fortress Fareham.

Our business pitch theme was around landscape companies:

Good morning, Nigel Williams from Afford A Print, based in Southampton, delivering across the U.K.

This week I would like you to “pave” a way of introduction to Miles Stone (landscaping) in Eastleigh. That’s Miles Stone (landscaping) in Eastleigh.

You should refer business to me because we “rock” when it comes to our value for money,  professionalism and quality. Ranked five out of five again and again on Freeindex. Here we are in fact, number 1 out of over 1400 other Print services… It’s “marble”ous.

This week we had plenty of business cards for “shale”, thanks to several referrals from our locksmith, Conor.

So to make your print project a “breeze”…. from a “boulder” looking flyer to a “gem” of a roller banner, choose Afford A Print, where we’ll save your clients a mint!

Recently a local landscape company had a cement truck stolen,  some evidence was found but nothing concrete – probably some hardened criminal!

An explosive business pitch – 60 seconds countdown

An explosive business pitch from our recent Business Networking International meeting (Fortress Fareham):

Good morning, Nigel Williams from Afford A Print, based in Southampton, delivering across the UK.

This week, I would love you to “make some noise” to introduce me to a demolition company – anywhere in the UK. For example, Hughes & Salvage, who have a head office in Portsmouth, that’s the demolition company, Hughes & Salvage.

You should refer business to us, because we are on a whole different “level” when it comes to our customer service. For example, our own good member Steve, needed an urgent “collapsible” banner – the design was ready Tuesday and I hand delivered it to him the next day. “Bang” on time.

Another reason to refer business my way, is because we  “obliterate” our competition when it comes to customer reviews. “Blasting” our way to the top spot – ranked number 1 on the Freeindex directory out of a staggering 1400 other print services UK wide.

So if it is a “smashing” flyer, or a “ground breaking” poster .

To save your clients a mint – send them to Afford A Print!
