April – A Very Good Month For Sales!

NCD — Wed, 01 May 2013 10:46:06 +0000

Is it May already?!

April was a very good month for us and our clients! Plenty of on-target meetings that have subsequently turned into orders…

After extensive negotiation – and ‘banging on their door’ since early January… We look forward to seeing our clients ‘HomingPIN‘ on the UK’s biggest Shopping Channel, QVC on 9th May!

We are also quoting a major pet wholesaler with a view to closing a 5 figure deal on some container loads of Chinese pet accessories.

More of the same for May, please!

HomingPIN… The product that keeps getting better!

NCD — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 10:04:33 +0000

After a meeting last week with our longest serving clients HomingPIN, we are very excited to reveal their latest developments to their product…

HomingPIN is now no longer a ‘lost bag’ product – it is now a complete lost property AND recovery system.

With the inclusion of brand new HomingPIN stickers, you can now also put a HomingPIN on your laptop, tablet, smart phone, keys… Anything that you really don’t want to lose.

They now also have a working relationship with a major logistical company who specialise in repatriating lost property.

This gives us a much broader pitch and makes the sales development process that little bit easier!

HMV – Still an excellent opportunity!

With the news that Hilco have saved HMV’s place on the High Street, we are delighted to announce that MyMask products will soon be available in all of their major stores! Expect to see party masks of everyone from Justin Bieber to Harry Styles and co.

Also available from MyMask are Cutouts – These are totally new and unique to the retail market! 18″ tall figurines of famous people – Feedback from the Spring Fair was excellent! Expect to see these storm the High Street, starting with HMV.

Pitching to Betterware with LaComo!

NCD — Sun, 17 Feb 2013 09:38:38 +0000

Our newest client LaComo Beauty got off to an excellent start! We pitched in to Betterware (Innovations catalogue) with LaComo’s range of hair fibers (for the more follically challenged of us!!!) and were given the opportunity to meet at their offices in Birmingham – we have agreed to an order with Betterware that makes everybody happy.

Expect to see these on the pages of Betterware in a couple of months!

Cutouts from MyMask!

NCD — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 13:46:58 +0000

…These are really cool! A twist on pop-star posters and life-sized cut outs… These are desktop Cutouts from the makers of ultra-popular party product, MyMask.

At 18 inches tall, these are just the right size to fit, say all five members of the world’s most popular boy band on a bedside table (for example). Watch this space! Whilst small in size, these will be HUGE!
