.......... ........

After 8 months of starting up Kaizen Print, I decided I needed a little RnR. I have honestly worked harder in the past year, than ever before in my life! But that of course has its rewards. And that was a a week long break to Lanzarote.

True to form, I was scouting out business card designs and negotiating flyer printing with local club owners. It has to be done, doesn't it. Well the answer quite frankly is No, it doesn't! 

With no laptop and very limited internet access, this left me to the worst possible thing; my thoughts. Weird and wonderful ideas sprung up from many margaritas on the beach and most importantly I came back rested and with a renewed sense of energy. That plus 546 emails to respond to. At time of writing this, I am down to 49, and this is not including the emails the rest of the team looked after.

When I get these emails replied to, the following projects are top priority for the Kaizen Print Team.

Canvas Printing Service
Memorial Cards
Flyer Distribution.

These are all services we have provided from Day 1, however, as a new customer recently pointed out - because our services are so varied and wide ranging, we need to talk about hem more often.

Secretly, I'm glad to be back in the office and I know the rest of the team share my sentiments......

 At Kaizen Print we try and do our little bit to help our customers and their good causes. With this in mind, we have been working with the team at Candy Plum, a fantastic boutique in Hillsborough on a project called Viva La Glam.

Remember this is being written by a 27 year old bloke

Viva La Glam is a ladies night to support the S.A.M Charity. It is being held on the 2nd September, which is just before the annual Hillsborough Oyster Festival. We have supported the organising committee with, design, poster printing, flyer printing and tickets for the event.


A bit more about the event rom the organisers

Viva La Glam is this years fashion event at The Hillsborough Oyster Festival!
Viva La Glam is a ladies' ultimate girly night out! 
With a fabulous fashion show lined up with amazing retailers such as Candy Plum, Una Rodden, Wish Bridal, Grainne Maher Millinery and Angelo Designer Handbags.
The very talented Shane Bennett is creating an unmissable 'Showgirl' hair finale which will ned to be seen to be believed!!
If gorgeous fashion and stylish hair isn't enough then fear not............ we will also have the crowning of 'Miss Oyster Pearl 2010', judged by the lovely Tracey Hall and Lisa Harrison.
Ladies will also have the chance to discover and shop the latest beauty secrets from Temple Spa and Senna Make-Up as well as the chance to put the finishing touches to their outfit with some gorgeous jewellery from Shannon's Jewellers in Lisburn!
As well as a gorgeous West Coast Cooler drinks reception, ladies will be treated to scrumptious delights provided by The Plough Inn in Hillsborough, which i'm sure you can all agree, is indeed, a treat in itself!!
This ultimate Ladies Night Out is indeed all for a very good cause - to raise some much needed money for S.A.M - Struggle Against Muscular Dystrophy.
S.A.M is this years selected charity for The Oyster Festival. S.A.M is indeed a Hillsborough based charity and the money raise from this event will help the charity to ultimately improve the treatment, quality of life and long term outlook for persons affected by Muscular Dystrophy through awareness, research, education and advocacy.

All of the above is included in your ticket price.
Tickets can be purchased from Candy Plum in Hillsborough or from www.hillsboroughoysterfestival.com

We look forward to seeing you all there! xo

Printing London

Long Time no update!!!!

I know its been a while, but the Belfast & Dublin Printing markets are in full flow at the minute and if you don't jump on it, well you get left behind.

This week, we have been working for a number of lifestyle, fitness and grooming businesses. Seems everyone wants to get fit for summer, preened and pruned and these smart companies are capitalising on it.

We designed everything below and like the true artists we are we'll go into a little more detail

Project: Tone n Ten Summer Bootcamps

A5 Double Sided flyer on 170gsm Gloss paper

We created this flyer for the guys at Tone n Ten, who needed a great quality yet low cost mass marketing leaflet to be distributed throughout the Banbridge area. 

Project: Man & Woman Flyers

A6 Flyers on 350gsm Silk

As part of our flyer batch (we print 80,000 flyers a week now), we designed and printed the above flyers for the team at Man & Woman. They have two stores, Lisburn and Belfast. Our brief was to create very clean flyers, prominently promoting the new Summer offers.
