April 19th – TPIF – Thank PEP it’s Friday!

Thank PEP it’s Friday!

So did you go and cheer on the runners in the Brighton Marathon last Sunday? NRG Sussex was one of our customers who ran it. We printed his vest top last week. We asked Mark from the company how it went:

“It was a great day thanks, my time was 3:56 and Scarlett’s was 4 hours exactly! All down to the great crowd support

marks-marathon-top

Brilliant running times! Well done! I would love to have a go…but not sure my body is up to it!

But, I am up to designing lots of creative work for our customers, just like this beautiful bespoke wedding invitation I have just completed.

wedding-invitation

Combining the Brides Indian heritage with the Scottish background of the Groom, it was a wonderful brief to work on. Next will be the table name cards for their big day! Here at PEP we have two options for wedding stationery – both high quality, the only difference being the design. Option one is choosing from one of our catalogue designs or option two is where our design team will create a bespoke design from your brief. If you want one of our designers to create something from scratch, all you need to do is call Kelly on 01903 641714 to discuss your needs. Whichever option you choose, we will do our best to make sure it is as stress-free as possible so you can concentrate on getting ready for the big day!

Hopefully Cheryl and Andrew have got their above invite in the post to all their guests so they can now focus on the rest of the wedding planning. I also hope they have filled in one of testimonial cards which they should have received in the thank-you pack enclosed with their order. I should point out that you can also write a testimonial here if you prefer. We don’t mind how or when you do it, just so long as you write something nice! And, don’t forget, the best one this month will be in with a chance to win this ‘take a break’ hamper!

Prize Draw

One team that cannot ‘take a break’ is Team PEP as once again, the press and the shop have been super busy! We have had the usual mixed bag of print and design orders but this week has mainly been about banners, just like this outdoor PVC banner that we have just finished for one of our ‘most loved’ customers.

printed-banner

With our state of the art wide format printer, we can produce fantastic full colour pvc banners. Perfect for your next promotion, for an outdoor exhibition or event or just for someones birthday. Complete with lamination (if outdoor) and eyelets ready for you to hang. What more could you want? A great price? Ok! Prices start from only £35 for an indoor banner 6ft x 2ft! Give the team a call on  01903 641714 to discuss further.

Another type of banner that I have been working on is for the new web banners for another ‘most loved’ customer - Mollycoddle Childrenswear. The spring/summer range is now ready to view and buy with new products just added. Although I may be biased as they are one of our customers, I have to say their clothes are beautiful. So, if you need a gift for a friends baby shower or just for your own little ones, check their website out. You won’t be disappointed!  While I am on the subject of websites, don’t forget that PEP can provide full e-commerce websites just like Mollycoddles – give us a call on 01903 641714!

Mollycoddle childrenswear

Anyway, I had better be off as I have to finish the gallery page for Mollycoddle. No rest for the wicked!

Thank PEP it’s Friday!

How are you all on this Friday afternoon? Hope you are all well and ready for the weekend? I am off to watch (not run) the Brighton Marathon which is this Sunday. Are any of you lot taking part? A good thing for runners to do is to have their name printed on their top so everyone can cheer you on personally, just like these two customers have done…good luck Michelle and Mark!

Brighton-marathon

I am having to write my little blog a bit later than normal today as I have been at a Google seminar all morning learning more about online marketing. It will be a really big help when I design new websites and when I work on updating and enhancing existing websites. Design is all well and good, but what’s the point if the site doesn’t get seen! 

Speaking of websites…just finished a holding page for a new customer. More pages are to be added, but at least the online presence is there for now with a simple slideshow portfolio…more to follow…watch this space!

xpert-web

This customer will of course now get one of our new thank you packs as does every order with us!

Thank you for your order!

We keep getting very nice comments about them (though some seem to be more about the sweet treat)!

love-hearts

Why are we giving away the thank you packs I hear you ask! Well, since our wonderful customers have voted us ‘the most loved printers in Sussex’ for the third year running, we wanted to give a little love back! By the way, here is Mark collecting our awards this week.

Most loved printers in Sussex

While on the subject of the thank you packs, inside you will find one of these testimonial cards -

how-did-we-do

If you fill it in and post it (or drop back into the shop) you will be entered into one of our monthly prize draws. This month you could win this ‘take a break’ hamper!*

On that note, I am off to take a break – wonder if anyone in the office will take the hint

So how was your Easter bank holiday weekend? Did you miss your favourite blog? Or, were you too busy eating your chocolate eggs…or a chocolate bunny in the case of my Easter gift from Ollie.

Easter-bunny

So, can you remember where we left off? Well, I was complaining that some of Team PEP had been away/was going away on their hols so we were busy busy busy in the shop. Now it’s a week later and everyone is back – Andi is back from Devon and Terry is back from Paris. So, the big question is, did Terry make it to the top of the Eiffel Tower.

eiffel

I am happy to report that the answer is yes! It sounds like it was very scary but our Terry didn’t let that stop him! Good on yer Tez!

So the whole of Team PEP are back working hard on all the orders you lovely lot keep giving us! But, not ones to just take and not give back, here’s what you will now be getting with every order.

pep-thank-you-pack

Yes, our new thank-you packs are ready and waiting to go out with every order placed. Each month, you will get to know each member of Team PEP. This month, it’s Andi’s turn! 

pep-thank-you-pack-2

You will also have the opportunity to win some prizes! But, if you want to get your hands on one, you have to place an order!

Speaking of orders, what’s been happening at PEP Towers this week I hear you ask? Well, as usual a mixed bag of orders has come our way, including these lovely docufolders:

docufolders

Our docufolders are great as they are digitally printed which means you can have as few as 10! Each come with an inside pocket which has slits to hold your business card. The perfect presentation folder! Interested? Call us on 01903 641714 to speak to one of the team.

docufolders-inside

This week we have also been busy printing legal cornersone order was even for a business in Australia – quite a bit away from our little shop in Worthing! Because of this sudden surge of interest in our legal corners, PEP have just launched new prices and new packages. So, if you are a solicitor or accountant, check out our two new ranges – Value and Classic – the same high quality for both but printed on different card.

Thank PEP it’s Friday!

This week has been busy, busy, busy! While the rest of us are getting on with the stacks or orders, Andi is off enjoying himself in Devon and boy do we miss him! Although Andi should be on his way back as I type, we cannot relax as another team member, Terry, is jetting off to Paris. Ooo la la! He keeps telling me that he is scared of heights so I will fill you all in next week if he actually manages to get to the top of the Eiffel Tower…

Our coffee/cake morning last Friday in aid of Comic Relief was a success! Everyone seemed to enjoy our special cupcakes…I managed to get one too (after I donated of course!) and I can report that they were delicious!

comic-relief-cake

While I am on the subject of Comic Relief, I should remind everyone that there is only one week left on our special Comic Relief business card offer up until the 31st March,  PEP will donate £1 from every business card order to Comic Relief. So, last chance to give some dosh while getting some rather fab printed business cards! We have three different ranges, so there will definitely be one that suits your budget!

Speaking of cards…but of a different kind, we are launching a brand new ‘thank-you’ pack from 1st April. Every order will get one – basically we want to make sure our lovely customers know how much we love them! In the pack, you will get to know all about the PEP team, have the opportunity to win some prizes and we may even throw in a little sweet treat for you! But, to get one, you have to place an order!

Thank you card from PEP

Although our digital printers and litho presses have been churning out the usual batch of printed goodies for our customers, we have also managed to print some new PEP promo stuff this week…like these lovely stickers: 

i-heart-pep-stickers

We didn’t stop at one set of stickers though…we designed another one just to say thank you for loving us for the third year running. (By the way, if you don’t know why we have been voted the “most loved printers in Sussex”, take a look here.)

thank-you-for-loving-pep-st

Anyway, I had better be off to help Ollie in the shop!

Remember to like us on facebook and follow us on twitter to keep up to date on what’s happening at PEP Towers! If this reminder isn’t enough, maybe one of our new ‘like us/follow us’ cards will help!

Next Friday is bank holiday so I will be having a week off from my blog and enjoying lots of chocolate eggs instead. See you on the 5th April!

Thank PEP it’s Friday!

No birthday celebrations this week at PEP, just snow chaos for some of the PEP team. Yes, the snow on Monday night brought the PEP commuters to a bit of a halt on their journey home. My usual half hour trip took 3 and a half hours! I was skidding all over the place, needed a kind lady to push me up a hill and then I was diverted from one road to another. At one point, I really thought I was going to have to kip at Ollie’s place…

But, enough of the moaning…as it’s time for my Comic Relief Blog Special!

Is everyone getting into the spirit of Comic Relief? The team at the Worthing shop certainly are! 

Ready for Comic Relief!

We have been making coffee and handing out cakes to our lovely customers in the shop all morning to raise money for Comic Relief. Here are some before shots…

Printed mugs at PEP the Printers

Do you like our new mugs fresh off our mug press? We just had to celebrate being your “most loved” printers for the third year in a row!

Here are some of the lovely ‘Comic Relief’ cup cakes Andi baked last night. Hopefully I have some spare change so I can buy one to go with my cuppa!

Comic-Relief-cakes

During and after shots coming in next week’s blog!

As well as our Comic Relief coffee morning, throughout March, PEP will be donating £1 from every business card order to Comic Relief. 

Even though Comic Relief is today, all business card orders until the end of March will help in raising money for the great charity. We will let you know our total amount raised at the end of the month. If you would like to donate to Comic Relief, click here. Enjoy the Red Nose Day live on BBC1 from 7pm tonight where you will be able to see what all the donations do.

So Andi is back in the throw of things with another crazy week at PEP the Printers. In fact, he has been so busy over at head office, I haven’t even seen him yet! He must be in the midst of getting the press rolling with all the flyer and leaflet orders, while over at the shop, it’s the usual digital frenzy!

I have just worked on these lovely simple wedding invites. If you are working to a small budget, Team PEP can help with advice on how to keep costs down while still getting a high quality product. This couple did the artwork so all I had to do was print in black and white on a lovely thick white card and trim to size. All for just £39! Team PEP are at a wedding fayre in Worthing next month so if you see us there, come and have a chat to us about your upcoming wedding/civil ceremony.

Wedding-Invites

Look what’s just come off the press for one of the bosses…yes more business cards for Mark! As our main networker at PEP, business cards are a necessity for Mark when he is out and about at meetings. We have three ranges of business card so whatever you need and whatever your budget, we can help. Having something to give to a potential customer is a company must-have. Get a free sample pack here.

PEP-business-cards

One company that already knows the importance of business cards is…

one of our “most loved” customers who have just had another order of the PEP Classic range of business cards.

Aside from printing, we have just boxed up this little lot of embroidered goodies.

Embroidered tops

People often forget that we do printed and embroidered t-shirts. Whatever you need – maybe a bunch of t-shirts for the girls on a hen night, or your company logo branded on your workwear, Team PEP can give you great prices.

As a lover of tattoos, I have enjoyed doing these colour sheets for a local tattoo shop. Next week I am doing spiral bound books of their work – more pics to follow!

Tattoo books

Before I go, I made a new friend this week…

There I was busy working and I could hear this miaowing coming from outside. He was pressed against the window but got scared and jumped down before I could take a photo. But, he stopped still enough for me to grab this shot!.

As always, if you need anything, pop into the Worthing shop, call us on 01903 641714 or visit our website for more information on all our products and services.

September 21st – TPIF – Thank PEP it’s Friday!

Thank PEP it’s Friday!

So Terry is back – thankfully! I dont think me and Ollie could have survived without him any longer! Maybe it serves us right for doing too many good offers! Speaking of which, the September offer is still proving to be a success…have you seen the newsletter yet?

September Newsletter - more offers from PEP

If you have, you will know we have launched a new 24 hour service for short run flyers and posters. Here is just one of the flyer orders we have finished this week (by the way, if you are thinking ‘hey, that’s a nice design‘..you would be right in thinking that Team PEP did it!)

A5 flyers available at PEP the Printers

The stationery craze that started last week hasn’t stopped with business cards being the job of the week. Full colour, spot colour, laminated, single or double sided…whatever takes your fancy, TeamPEP can do it!

Get business cards at PEP the Printers

Inbetween the stationery and flyer jobs, we have just started to run the calendars for the Kenyan School Project charity that I told you about a couple of weeks ago. If you would like to buy a calendar to support the charity or make a donation, visit www.kenyanschoolsproject.co.uk

Remember to order your calendars soon!

Calendars may not be something you are thinking about since it is only September but this week Team PEP have started printing out Christmas Card orders! It is never too soon to get them sorted…better that than waiting until December and then you have a big rush on! Remember only 94 days to go!!

At PEP we offer a great range of Christmas cards so instead of posting out the same old cards this year, how about sending a unique one of your own? We can print almost any photo, drawing or even your own child’s masterpiece onto quality card. And, if you’re a business, it’s a great way to increase brand awareness. Check out our prices below…

Great Christmas Card prices at PEP the Printers

To go with your Christmas card, a personalised gift is always a good idea…and guess what, Team PEP can do them too! From jigsaws, mouse mats, calendars to snow globes…do I need to go on?

Should you need Team PEP before we meet again next week, pop into the shop or call us on 01903 641714.

Thank PEP it’s Friday!

Only a short blog this week as its manic, manic, manic and we are one body down as Terry has flown off to Spain for some sun! He is off until next thursday so it’s up to me and Ollie to look after the shop and get everything designed, printed, trimmed and boxed ready for our lovely customers to collect or our reliable courier to deliver. With the usual workload we are always pretty darn busy, but this week, with the sample pack introduction and the new 24 hour service for flyers and posters, it has been 5 hectic days. I really mean it this week – thank PEP it’s Friday!

So, the business card sample packs have been available for a week and boy, what a success they have been! It seems quite a few of you really like to have a feel before you buy! And, why shouldn’t you! Remember to keep emailing me about the next sample pack you would like – kelly@pep4print.co.uk – in the meantime, if you want the business card pack, click here.

PEP business card sample pack

The September newsletter is still finding its way in finished jobs and through the letterboxes of our mailing list, which means a lot of you have been hearing about our 24 hour flyer and poster service…well, it certainly looks like it from our order tray!

Aside from the flyers, this week, everybody seems to have gone stationery mad! I haven’t printed this much stationery in ages! The business cards, letterheads and compliment slips are starting to take over the shop…

Tower of letterheads

…here is just one of the letterhead towers that are currently filling our hall space! I am just finishing off the last batch so I can get started on today’s short run flyer orders and the other bits and bobs that need to be finished before 5pm…

Remember the ‘print help’ blogs that I mentioned last week that Team PEP are going to start posting..well, the first one is up – if you want to find out about ‘bleed’ and why we need it, have a read here.

Should you need Team PEP before we meet again next week, pop into the shop or call us on 01903 641714. Now, it’s time for a cuppa and one of these…

Thank PEP it’s Friday!

Only a teeny tiny blog this week as Team PEP have had the most manic week ever! Thank heavens we have a lovely bank holiday coming up – I think we all need a long weekend to recover…

Why so manic? Well, aside from all the usual workload of stationery, flyers, posters and everything inbetween, this week we have also been working through the night to get one of our “most loved customers” yearly jobs done. We get the artwork at some point during the night then we have to print it, turn it into booklets and then….

deliver to Brighton.

So, we are all a bit tired and in need of the extra day off so we can come back fighting fit on Tuesday for another batch of jobs from all you lovely lot.

Before I go to finish all the bits and bobs before the 5pm bell, I thought I should let you know that there is only 1 week left to win a PEP Discount Medal!

So did you see the Olympic closing ceremony? I haven’t had such a late Sunday night in ages, but it was worth it! Best bit for me as you can probably guess (if you read my blog last week) was the appearance of the Spice Girls. They were back in action standing on top of cabs belting out ‘Wannabe’ and ‘Spice Up Your Life’! Although the touch of girl power was my personal highlight, I thought the whole ceremony was wonderful and now it’s a case of  suffering from POD (Post Olympic Depression)…but, I haven’t been down for long as I got a little treat from a customer this week…

Kelly got cake!

First treat was a bit of their delicious wedding cake…then…

Present for Kelly

a gorgeous orchid which has now taken pride of place in my living room. I wish all my customers gave me gifts – especially cake! So what were the treats for you ask? Well, I designed and printed Anne and David’s Golden Wedding Invitations and table name cards. Over the last couple of months, I have worked closely with Anne getting the design right and making sure the colour scheme worked with the flowers, tablecloths and napkins to ensure their day was as special as it deserved. By all accounts, a great day was had by all and the best news was the weather held out which meant they could go punting!

So, you now know where to come for your wedding stationery – not only great design from the fantastic Team PEP but also great customer service! Don’t forget we offer both catalogue and bespoke designs so whatever you need for your special day, just chat to us and we will work with you to get what you desire.

This week, as well as the usual business stationery and boxes of flyers, Team PEP went banner-tastic

Roll up banners available at PEP the Printers

Our roll-up banners are great for exhibitions, networking or simply a promotion in your office/shop. Like a lot of our products, we offer three types of banner so whatever your budget, Team PEP has a solution. VALUE banners start from only £79+vat and come complete with a carry case!

A free carry case with your PEP roll-up banner

All you have to do is snap the 3-part pole together and unroll the poster. If you buy two, you could win a Silver PEP Discount Medal! Or you could buy two banners and 5000 flyers, and you would be a GOLD winner! Or you could buy one banner, 5000 flyers and 1000 deluxe business cards to win GOLD. Or, you could…hold it, there are too many possibilities to go on! Remember only 2 weeks left to win!!! If you want to get your hands on one of our discount medals, spend over £100 in the next two weeks and you will win! It’s that simple!
