Print and social media - working together.

Stop Blaming Your Event Attendance on Social Media

Every week I speak to business owners who tell me:
"We posted loads about our event but hardly anyone came."

The first thing I ask is: "What else did you do?" Because social media is brilliant. But it shouldn't be doing all the heavy lifting.

If you're running:
A summer fair
An open day
A charity event
A product launch

People need multiple reminders before they take action. That's where print comes in.

A flyer handed to the right person.

A poster in the right location.

A banner outside your premises.

These aren't old-fashioned marketing tools.

They're visibility tools. The reality is that most people are overwhelmed by digital content. They scroll past hundreds of messages every day. A physical piece of print can often get more attention because it's something people can actually hold, see or keep.

After 45 years in printing, we've seen businesses fill events simply because they combined online marketing with smart print.

Not complicated.

Not expensive.

Just effective.

The biggest mistake we see?
Leaving print until the last minute. A little planning can make a huge difference. If you've got an event coming up this summer, now is a great time to think about:

✔ Flyers

✔ Posters

✔ Banners

✔ Draw tickets

✔ Scratch cards

The right print helps people notice you. And being noticed is where every sale starts.

What's the next event your business is attending?

Who Thanks Their Clients?

Yesterday I thanked my clients for their support over the last financial year…
And it got me thinking…

Many of my customers thank their clients too - using simple printed touches like:
✨ Thank you postcards
✨ Greetings cards
✨ Packaging inserts
✨ Labels for cake boxes
✨ Stickers for donut boxes
✨ Branded thank you notes
✨ Scratch cards

A simple thank you can:
• Build loyalty
• Encourage repeat business
• Make your brand memorable
• Show professionalism

It doesn't have to be complicated…
Just thoughtful.

Do you thank your clients?

As today marks the end of the financial year for Townsend Design & Print Ltd, I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported my business over the last 12 months.

To my loyal clients and those who trusted me for the first time -thank you for choosing me.
To my networking connections and fellow business owners - thank you for the support, referrals and friendship.
And to everyone who follows along, your encouragement never goes unnoticed.

It's been another year of great projects, new relationships, and continued growth and I'm genuinely grateful for every part of it.

Here's to another exciting year ahead!

Thank you all for being part of the journey

Something interesting happens when you place flyers on a table at an event.
Most of them are exactly the same shape.
Rectangle after rectangle.
So people’s eyes tend to skip straight over them.
But when a flyer is a different shape — even slightly — people notice it straight away.
Custom-shaped flyers are a really simple way to stand out without dramatically increasing your marketing budget.
They feel different, they look different, and people are far more likely to pick them up.
And that small moment of attention is often all your business needs.
