Consumers Go Dotty for a Hamper

High Street women's clothes retailer, Dorothy Perkins, were looking for an internet promotion for their social media channels in the build-up to last Christmas.

They decided on a competition to submit the best retro family Christmas photo onto their Facebook and Twitter accounts, asking Christmas Hampers UK to provide a hamper as part of the prize. We were only too happy to help.

Dorothy Perkins selected out Festive Fitted Hamper Basket as the prize, which we branded up with a printed sash and provided photos for their promotional launch. From the start, our social media accounts were 'mentioned' in their posts so that we could monitor the progress of the promotion.

Dorothy Perkins customers took to the competition straight way, digging out and family Christmas photos, submitting them and mentioning our accounts. Asa result we received hundreds of mentions and new followers.

Finally, Christmas was upon us and the winner was announced. We delivered the hamper direct to the winner's house and immediately received some kind words from them about the quality of the hamper and how they were going to use it over the festive period.

This is just one example of how using a luxury hamper as an incentive, can create a social media buzz around your brand... and, as 'a hamper isn't just for Christmas', these campaigns can be carried out at any time of the year.

If you would like any more information on how we could help you with sales incentives, internet promotions, social media campaigns or gift hampers for any occasion, please don't hesitate to contact us on 01384 445844 or e-mail sales@christmashampersuk.com

Christmas Begins in June!

It's almost the end of June, the Summer holidays are almost upon us, and believe it or not, Christmas is already well under way at Christmas Hampers UK!

Way back in February, we started analysing the Christmas 2014 sales - which gifts worked well, which need tweaking and which needed replacing. By the end of April the new gift range had been designed and assembled, then fine-tuned by the end of May.

At the beginning of June, the main photo shoot began in our brand new photo studio. The photo studio was included in the refurbishment of our main building and provides us with a great facility for taking product shots across all of the Porter & Woodman Group businesses. Assisting our regular contract photographer, Adrian Burrows, was our new Marketing Assistant, Emily Partridge.

Emily started with Porter & Woodman in November 2014 to assist in the Marketing Department with website management and product photography. Assisting Adrian with this shoot enabled her to pick up some useful tips from a professional photographer, that will help her with her general work for Porter & Woodman. Her help also meant that the photos took far less time to shoot this year! Sorry Adrian!

The photos are now being processed to be included in the new brochure and website.


The website will be live by the end of July, with a PDF version of the brochure available to download too.

Mini Crate Hamper Gifts

Christmas is long gone now, but a wine and hamper gift doesn't just have to be for the festive period!

At Wine and Hamper Gifts, we've developed a brand new range of Mini Crate Hampers using the Union Jack mini crate from our sister company - WoodenBox UK.

The crates are printed with a Union Jack on both sides, but for as few as 20 gifts, we'll print a corporate logo on the crate - this service is FREE of charge when you order 50 or more crates! The hampers also come with our new wooden postcards. These are printed on one side with either 'Welcome Home', 'Breakfast at Tiffany's', 'Keep Calm and Drink Afternoon Tea', 'Love Chocolate' or 'Tuck Box'. The reverse can be printed with an individual message - FREE service when you order just 4 crates.

The hampers start from as little as £18.41 + VAT and if you can't see what you want, we'll design a bespoke hamper just for you if you are ordering 20 or more hampers.

The hampers are ideal as a welcome pack gift in holiday cottages; new houses; hotel, spa or B&B rooms; or a gift for loyal customers and hard-working staff.

You can download a PDF of our Mini Crate Hamper brochure by clicking here and there'll be more hamper gift ideas appearing throughout the year on the website, social media and our new Pinterest channel.

Signs of an Improving Economy

Only a few weeks ago, Wine and Hamper Gifts launched an edited version of its main Christmas brochure, focusing on a selection of 'Best Sellers'.

Mindful of the fact that we've all been through a really tough economic period, the aim of the mini-brochure was to highlight a range of 'best sellers' up to £110.00 in price. However, over the last few weeks, interest has been very high across the entire price range of our wine and hamper gifts offering - a clear indication that we are starting to see an 'improving economy', which is good news for all of us!

DON'T FORGET, you can have your logo included on all of our gifts, either with a gift tag, printed sash, on the lid or with the inclusion of personalised gift cards or compliments slips.

If you would like more information on any of our gifts, or would like us to design a gift specifically for you, your clients or staff, please do not hesitate to contact us on 01384 445844 or e-mail sales@wineandhampergifts.co.uk

Spring Into Action!

We are now fully into the swing of things and the Spring flowers are finally starting to make an appearance. After the success of our Valentine's Day gifts, we now have a Spring gift range available at great discounted prices.

The gift range offers beautiful ideas for Mother's Day, brilliant alternatives to Easter eggs, or just great ways to say 'thank you' (or maybe 'sorry'). At this time of year, we are able to reduce the prices so low, as we need to clear the warehouse of existing stock ready for the new lines going live this Summer.

It may sound surprisingly early to most of you, but we are already sourcing new products ready for Christmas 2013! We have been sent a wide-range of samples from Chilli Chocolate to Whisky Marmalade ...all of which need to be tried and tested by the staff - it's a tough job, but someone has to do it! We are aiming to complete the gift range in just 9 weeks, so watch this space and follow our progress...

On a non-work related topic, we at Porter and Woodman are delighted to be supporting the charity JDRF - the world's leading charitable funder of Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes, One of our office staff has arranged a local 'spring fair', including cupcake stands, a tombola and nearly new items - anyone can come along and help to raise money for this great cause. The fair is being held at Hagley Community Centre on Saturday 13th April 2013 - 9:00am to 12:30pm.

If you would like any more information about our Spring Range, Corporate Gifts in general or our support for charity, please give us a call on 01384 445844 or e-mail sales@wineandhampergifts.co.uk
