What made you stop scrolling today? 👀

Catherine and Chris were walking through Bath recently when this shaped flyer at a whisky pop up caught their eye.

Amongst all the shops, people and distractions on a busy street, it stood out straight away.

Not because it was flashy.
Not because it was expensive.

It was different.

Instead of a standard leaflet, it was cut to the shape of the bottle itself, making the brand impossible to miss.

The surprising bit? You can produce 500 shaped flyers like this from around £182.

A good reminder that standing out isn't always about spending more. Sometimes it's about doing something a little differently.

What's the last piece of marketing that caught your eye?

Following on from our recent post about branded clothing... Here's a perfect example of why it matters.

We've just printed these event t-shirts for Bury Comic Con ahead of this year's event on Sunday 28th June.

When thousands of visitors are exploring stalls, meeting guests and taking part in activities, nobody wants to be wondering who to ask for help.

Good branded clothing makes it easy.

It helps visitors instantly recognise who's part of the team, creates a more professional experience, and helps everything feel that little bit more organised on the day.

Plus, they look pretty good too!

We're proud to be supporting Bury Bid Comic Con again this year and can't wait to see these out and about at the event.

On Saturday evening, Claire and Catherine enjoyed a trip to see Calendar Girls by Summerseat Players at The Theatre Royal, Ramsbottom.

The tickets were kindly donated by the theatre as part of an offer to local businesses, which we thought was a lovely gesture and a great example of local organisations supporting one another.

As for the show itself... absolutely fantastic. Funny, moving, brilliantly performed and thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish.

A huge thank you to everyone at the Theatre Royal for the invitation and for helping keep live theatre thriving in our town. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

How many hours did you spend this week creating your own marketing materials?

An hour?

Three hours?

More?

When you're designing your own social posts, flyers or brochures, it's easy to focus on what you're saving.

But what about what you're giving up?

The customer you didn't call.

The quote you didn't send.

The work you didn't get done.

The hidden cost of doing it yourself isn't always money.

Sometimes it's your time.

You're the expert in your business.

We're the experts in design.

When you walk into a restaurant, café, bar or salon can you instantly tell who works there?

The really good ones make it obvious.

Sometimes it's branded clothing.

Sometimes it's just a consistent look across the team.

But either way, you never find yourself wondering who to ask for help.

It might seem like a small thing, but those little details shape how people feel about a business.

More organised, more professional, more confident.

And often, without even realising it, that's exactly what customers are looking for.

Have you ever walked into a business and not had a clue who actually worked there?
