2007/8 Growth
Hopefully you like what we do here at printsourceuk, because we certainly do! We love each day working at printsourceuk towers, and really try to make a difference to how you can have things printed - it needn't be hard!
For that very reason we are delighted to note a huge increase in new enquiries, and new customers since Christmas.
Due to increased web activity, great feedback on directories such as Disc Directory and the Square Deal trading standards website, and general recommendation, we have experienced an increase of over 190% on 2006/7, month on month.
Hopefully you haven't noticed any affect on your service levels, as we always want to make sure our customers are well looked after! We really value your business and the support you give us, and your loyalty, but we're always keen to have feedback, bad, and good. Please click here to update us on your thoughts.
Official Portsmouth Festivities Partner
We are delighted to announce that Print Source UK and James Alderson are working with Portsmouth Festivities for 2008 to provide full print support across the broad range of print demands the events have across the Summer weeks. After various discussions and investigations into the requirements of the Festivities, Pippa Cleary, Festivities Administrator and James worked through a basic plan forward to ensure that this year's marketing material goes off with a bang.
This year the 10 days of events around the city promise to be more fun-packed and lavish than ever before, and full details and sponsorship opportunities are listed in the sponsorship pack, should you wish to be involved.
We are proud to be involved in such a long list of events and the Portsmouth Festivities overall, celebrating the history and heritage of Portsmouth. We look forward to seeing you there!

We are delighted to announce that since Christmas we have become regular print suppliers for the First Wessex Housing Group. Portsmouth Housing Association are part of the group based in the old P&O building as you enter Portsmouth, and James popped in there on the off-chance one day, and since then has been working with Michelle, Group designer, on creating good quality, rapid turnaround solutions to many of their print needs.
Eva Lambert-Smith, Group PR & Communications Manager at First Wessex Housing Group, said: "We have been using Print Source UK since last year and have been impressed with the quality of print as well as their ability to meet our tight production schedules."
Dragons Den Appearance
James was asked to appear on a Dragon's Den style panel for local school The Portsmouth Grammar School. Year 9 put together business plans, products and ideas on how to generate funds, with a large percentage going to charity, and James was one of the four on the panel. Luckily for James, no money had to be handed over, but the panel gave positive feedback and advice on how to drive their ideas forward, and the winner was then given the green light to roll-out the idea across the school of over 1600 pupils, to raise money for the Barnados Charity.
Pushing the Envelope
We are delighted to announce an expansion to the envelope printing side of our service. We now can offer full bleed off all edges of the envelopes we print, in single or full colour, and even very small and very large quantities. A great way to ensure your name arrives in front of your customer before they even open the mail!
Make It Personal!
Did you know, we can personalise any print item you want. Whether its a brochure, postcard, letter, or even a magazine, you name it we can print your customer's name, their address, or in some cases even change the image for every single item printed, so that not one postcard looks the same! Amazing! The cost is very sensibly priced, so why not ask how we can target your customers more personally, next time we quote for you?
Magnetic leaflets?
We always keep our eye to the ground when things arrive into the market that could prove useful to our customers, and that's why we thought you may find it very interesting to hear that a new paper has arrived that is magnetic. Although it is quite thick, and cant really be folded, it is a great idea for leaflets or business cards, so your customers can stick them onto their fridges, radiators, or even their cars!! How many applications are there, and now you can print them on a standard printed press, so the quality of print is just the same as any other leaflet or brochure you might order.
