Activity – What’s happening here?

‘i name it’ have had a remarkable start to the year by receiving the accolade of “Highly Commended Free Standing Calendar” at the National Calendar Awards. This was for our eco-friendly DHL calendars which have been described as “a super hit in Asia” and “pretty much the talk of the market….” by Jan Dully at DHL. The paper and backboard on these calendars were 80% recycled and 20% FSC (from sustainable forests) and even the wire-o binding was 100% biodegradable as it is coated in corn oil!

What’s new here at I Name It?

Our most recent product launch, the A4 and A5 notebooks have proved to be a great success so far due to their practicality and innovative design. We have taken the same concept of individually personalising the image on the front with the company logo allowing this unique product to immediately engage the recipient whilst offering them a product of everyday use.

Industry News

01/02/2010

• The Trade Only National show proved to be a huge success for us here at ‘i name it’, therefore it comes as no surprise for us to learn that this years show has broken all previous records with nearly 2,400 visitors over the two day show, an increase of 18% on 2009. This was our first year exhibiting at Trade Only, and we are already looking forward to revisiting again next year!

• We are excited to hear about the joint venture between the international exhibitions Pro and PSI as they are said to enhance and complement each other in the organisation of Pro10, which ‘i name it’ will be exhibiting at on the 25th, 26th and 27th of August in Amsterdam. We found the exhibition to be extremely successful for us last year, so we hope this year is going to be even bigger and better!

Promota & BPMA Merger

• The i name it team welcomes the news that the industry’s two major trade associations,
the BPMA and Promota, will be merging in Spring 2010. The new base will have 1,250 members.
The prime objective will be to offer both trade supplier and distributor members a strong platform to drive business and a framework that builds confidence amongst customers to buy from members. The new association will enhance the trade channel – supplier to distributor and distributor to end user, making it stronger and giving more clarity in the marketplace.

CMC Cease Trading

• The i name it dream team are very sad to here that the CMC are no longer with us. Unfortunately, the CMC, which was one of the UK’s top three promotional gift distributors for a long time, ceased trading on the 1st of October following rumours of bankruptcy. However, as always, every cloud as a silver lining and in this case it comes in the form of the team from the London branch of the CMC joining the Arcadia team. We wish Steve and his new team the best of luck!
