Early post.......

I know it's a bit early but I am off to Blackpool for a few days and thought I would sum up the week so far........it was short.

Honestly, it was not that short as by the time I go home I would have done 25 Hours in two days - we still have loads on press and are running double day shifts to catch up.....it's all good as I love the sound of production. The print room is now well on top of their work and it has been going well, the cross section of work has been amazing as it has been Letterheads, Brochures, Price Lists, Books and loads more besides - this kind of work is lapped up by our two high production presses and backed up by our digital printing solution, we really can manage such a variety of work but I am beginning to think our prices must be to low :) - While we have not had many sales days for a couple of weeks the work is still rolling in, I think this has to do with the fact that while we can service the UK businesses for their print needs we really have made an impact in our local market and I hope we can continue offering this all round quality service for years to come.

Here at Apple Print this month through social media, our local Newspaper and on our website we are going on the hunt to grow our Internet service offering, we have had meetings about what this is and feel the just an honest business approach to be the way forward - too often we are approached to produce a website when the client has not considered the business plan behind the decision, with over 25 years combined experience in this market coupled with a successful business model, Matthew and Mark working with a project manager can really add value to any web project. If you just wanted to have a chat about your options then please drop us a line for a meeting.....you will find that we are easy to deal with and talk plain English, even Mark! Projects we hope to get sign off this week include Crescent Signs (old site here) and the 1st design of a new site for ECEX a great business and good friend of Apple Print, Richards business offers such a great range of services and can be a help to most of us.....check his current site here. http://www.ecex.co.uk/

We are also in the debt of Magneticrc this week for finding us such a great freelance designer at such short notice, Marie came in and did a great job and was an instant hit with the studio so thanks Clare - hope we can do it again soon. Also coming up soon is an event by MD2MD, also our business Coach - see this link for more -I have attended these events before and can really say you walk away with real benefits. Apple Print can, as a sponsor of this event, offer our Guests a special price so drop me a line if you would like to attend.

As it is Star Wars day (May the 4th be with you) I will sign off with this super secret still from the proposed next movie - special effects like you've never seen!
