Year End Budget Squeezers
Summer is almost over and in world of promotional gifts this means that what lies ahead is the busiest time for companies like Redbows. With VAT set to rise to 20% at the end of the year we anticipate many clients will look to bring their Q1 2011 promotional gift spends into 2010 – allowing them to save 2.5% in terms of cash at least. We are also always on the look out for the best possible pricing and supplies for our clients and this autumn will see us increase our stocks of express delivery gifts, allowing us to respond to even shorter lead times. With autumn approaching its always worth noting that those seasonable items that will see a flurry of activity – notably advent calendars. Pricing is now available for our 2010 advent calendars to allow us to meet the tight timescales of end of October production runs. Other developments this summer have included the launch of our new ECO Gifts Store and we anticipate that 2011 will be the year of the ECO promotional gifts company. So will our predictions and forecasts hold true? We’ll just have to see in 2011.
