Proudly supporting Rammy Pride 🌈

The weather is set to be sunny and dry - we’ll be joining the parade tomorrow so see you there!

Whether you're joining or watching the Rammy Pride Parade on Saturday, here's the route 🌈

For those joining in, please meet us near the Jubilee Climbing Rocks (near the Cormar Carpet / FedEx entrance) from 12:30pm 🌈

Or to watch, grab a spot next to the path that laps the park 🌈

We'll be finishing up on Railway street, just on the edge of the town centre (near Aldi & the railway carpark) 🌈

Nobody Googles “the second-best accountant near me.”

But strangely, most of us aren’t really looking for the best either.

We’re looking for someone who feels like a safe choice.

They look professional.
Their website works.
Everything feels consistent.
Other people seem to trust them.

Basically, nothing sets off the little voice in your head saying…

“Hmmmm… maybe keep looking.”

Funny how much we decide about a business before we’ve even spoken to them.

What’s the first thing that makes you trust, or mistrust a business?

Marc’s turn for a bit of time off! ☀️

He’s taking a well-earned break from the Orbital studio for a little while.

Everything here carries on as usual, with Chris picking up Marc’s design projects while he’s away.

Have a great break, Marc — we’ll see you when you’re suitably refreshed and ready to put up with us all again! 😂

It’s August Bank Holiday Monday… what’s the plan? ☀️🌧️

A walk that definitely ends at a pub?
A BBQ while repeatedly checking the weather app?
A day out somewhere that approximately 40,000 other people have also decided to visit?
Or absolutely NOTHING… and very happy about it?

The Orbital studio is closed today while we make the most of the Bank Holiday, whatever the weather decides to do.

So, important question…

What does a perfect Bank Holiday Monday look like to you?

📍 A little look around Orbital HQ…

We’ve been based in Ramsbottom for over 13 years now, and we still wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

Right in the middle of town on Silver Street, our studio is where the ideas happen, the designs take shape and, most importantly, where you can actually pop in and talk to us.

You can look through print samples, see promotional products, feel the fabrics, have a nosey at different finishes… or just sit down with us and chat through what you need.

And being surrounded by so many brilliant independent businesses (quite a few of whom we’re lucky enough to work with) makes Ramsbottom a pretty good place to come to work every day.

So here’s a little peek inside and outside the studio.

If you’re passing, pop in and say hello. We’re on Silver Street, just up past Mannings 👋

Question of the day: Is black actually a colour?

So we got to talking in the studio today...

Is black actually a colour? 🤔

Half the studio says yes.
Half says no.

Apparently, in science, black is the absence of light, but in printing, black is absolutely considered a colour because we physically print with black ink.

So now we're even more confused.

What do you think... colour or not a colour?

Please help settle the debate before it gets brought up again tomorrow morning! 😄

How many times do you pick up a pen in a day?

Probably more than you realise.

Which is exactly why the humble branded pen is still such a good bit of promo merch.

Useful, easy to hand out and, if it’s a decent one, likely to hang around on someone’s desk for a good while too.

These smart little numbers are for B&E Boys — keeping their name to hand, quite literally. ✍️

Sometimes the simplest promo ideas are the ones that work best.

Does your business look as good as the service you provide? 👀

Your logo, website, print, signage... it all adds up to the impression people get before they've even spoken to you.

If yours could do with a little more consistency, we've put together a few simple options to help, starting with a logo and building up from there.

Have a nosy at our branding packages and see what we mean 👇
