To coincide with the World Cup – a football themed business pitch!

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

So this week, with the world cup now well under way, I would love you to “score” us a referral to a football club.

In particular Havant & Waterlooville F.C. – or any other club you have a contact in – anywhere in the UK.

You should refer business to me because I have over 15 years experience in the printing industry, with a fantastic “crowd” of customer reviews on Freeindex (where we are currently “top of the league” at the number 1 spot in the whole of the UK).

Story this week – we “scored” the “kick off” to print some business cards and labels for an electrician of another chapter.

The customer “cheered” as they were delivered well before the “final whistle” was due to blow. (He also left a five star review on Freeindex “to boot”)

So if your client has a print job to “tackle”, or they have given the “red card” to their current supplier – choose Afford A Print, Where we’ll save your clients a mint!

Our latest punny business pitch – read out at our breakfast networking meeting today

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

This week I would like you to “steer” me towards an introduction to an Autoparts Store anywhere in the UK. Specifically M.A.S. Ltd on Spring Road in Southampton. 

You should refer business to us, because we are number 1 in the UK on the FreeIndex directory, out of over 1440 other print services – UK wide “fueled” by customer reviews!

Recently we did a great “service” to a church that needed 10,000 flyers asap – at “full throttle”, these were delivered within 24 hours.

We also sorted some “wheely” good business cards for members Xan, Roy and Jason. Thanks guys!

So if your business card is looking “tyred” or you want to “shift gears” with a leaflet campaign,

Choose Afford A Print, where we’ll save your clients a mint!

Our latest punny networking 60 seconds – the chinese food suppliers

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

For starters – I am looking for an intro to food wholesalers anywhere in the UK – such as the Chinese food wholesaler Hopelake Food Ltd based in Portsmouth. That’s Hopelake Food Ltd based in Portsmouth.

For the mains – You should refer business to us because we are 1st on the Freeindex directory out of over 1,630 other print services UK wide – based on customer feedback. 

This week we “dished up”
the “desert” for a business coach  – a set of 32 page booklets because they felt the first time we did this job for them was so good, they simply HAD to come back for seconds.

So from a very “rice” flyer to a “beefy” pile of booklets or  you “won a ton” of business cards.

Choose Afford A Print, where we’ll save your clients a few “squid”

Your guide to set up artwork for a spot UV business card

What is Spot UV?

Spot UV works by printing a clear glossy area on top of your printed business card or other item,

The simplest way of setting up your artwork so this process is successful, is by creating an additional page, highlighting the area you require to be with the clear glossy area.

Here is an example.

This is the finish printed design:

The customer wanted the logo and the locks to be the area that is clear glossy over the print.

The customer provided us with a second page in the pdf artwork so it shows exactly the area needed to be covered. All the dimensions are the same from the initial artwork. He has made this one colour as the following image:

Once we receive your file, we will check that it is correct for the printing of your spot UV business card. If there is any problem, we will work with you until you have the artwork correct. If you are still not sure, send us your file and describe where you want the UV spot to be and we will quote you on any work that is need to achieve your print project.

We look forward to helping you with your Spot UV project.

Should you invest in a graphic designer for your printing project?

Why use a Graphic Designer?
Why not do it yourself?
Or your mate down the road can do it.
Or a website where you can choose a logo for £50.
Ask yourself:
  • Is this the best way to represent my business?
  • Is this the best way to attract and engage my target audience?
 Or are you saying don’t bother – I don’t even value spending money on my own business?
A logo design typically takes 16 plus hours to get right, what are you going to get for £2 an hour?
Andy Clarke of Clarke Creative has satisfied many a client of ours for their printing projects. From producing them a designed then printed folder to high quality business card or flyer.
Andy spent 6 years in University, 20 plus years polishing his skills. Has won numerous awards along the way, and is passionate about his craft, giving 110% to every job – a great return on your investment.
You may think you can’t afford him, but we would say you can’t afford not to use him.

Recently in a survey of 1,500 small businesses, asked how important Graphic and web design was to the success of there business: 3% said not important, 7% Slightly Important, 10% Neutral, 31% important and 49% Very Important.

So with that in mind, with 80% saying that graphic design is important to the success of their company: to get heard above the noise, creating brand awareness, and repeat customers – why wouldn’t you invest in a great graphic design company?

Talk to us today about your design and print project.
