Well that about wraps it up for this Summer!

Although we've been thinking about Christmas since March, we still have to take a break from getting the main brochure ready to have a look at wine and hamper gifts for the Summer.

Wrap It Up! is Porter and Woodman's Summer newsletter, packed with beautiful gifts that can be used in any promotion, internet campaign or as a gift for customers and staff this Summer!

The theme is very much 'The Great Outdoors' with gifts such as:

Beach Party Special - BBQ Bucket

Picnic Garden Party


The Picnic Basket


The Gourmet Delight


Corporate Branded Champagne

We are also able to design bespoke gifts around any ideas you may have. If you'd like to receive the newsletter, please do not hesitate to contact us on 01384 445844, e-mail sales@porterandwoodman.co.uk, or download a PDF copy of the Wrap It Up! by clicking here.

               

The Christmas Story continues with the photography...

...so, the gifts have all be selected and fine-tuned - what next?

By the middle of May, all the gifts are ready to have photography taken. Despite having our own purpose built photography studio, it isn't big enough to house this mammoth task, so the complete range is packed up and transported to a professional photography studio.

Each gift is then photographed as a finished item and laid out with props, with several pics taken at different exposures for each setting. From start to finish, this is a 3 week process, with the photographer spending the last week selecting the right exposure for each gift.

At the beginning of June, the pics arrive in our Print Services Studio to be made ready for the website, social media and the brochure, but that's another part of the story...

A Christmas Story - that starts in March!

At Porter and Woodman, our Christmas story starts as far back as March - every year!

Once the dust has settled after the Christmas selling period, we spend some time reviewing which of our wine and hamper gifts sold well and start to develop our range for the next Christmas brochure.

We look at the produce, wines, beers and spirits that will be available another nine months down the line; which packaging might present each hamper in the best way; and develop new corporate branding and personalisation techniques for each gift.

The completed range of new gifts is finally brought together in the 'hamper room' to be reviewed and fine-tuned by the end of April.

The story continues in May when we direct the photography of each gift for the web and the brochure. Watch this space as we follow our own Christmas story throughout the year...

Early Order 15% Discount

October 1^st is the last day to take advantage of our 15% early order discount.

“The early bird catches the worm” or in this case receives a discount for simply getting their act together and ordering one of our luxury Christmas hampers.

It has been rumoured that the discount might be extended for a few days to allow those late wakers to still take advantage of this fantastic offer.

We’ve already had a great uptake from existing customers, many of whom have been enticed back after taking a break from hampers in the gloom of the 2009 recession.

Early leaders in the favourite gift stakes are the inevitable H01 Christmas Chest (winner for the past four years!), but with some very healthy competition from the Christmas Hat Box (H06) and Christmas Bag for Life (H13).

The website at www.wineandhampergifts.co.uk has recently been updated with all the new gifts and is beginning to look fantastic, though there are still some pages to be uploaded so watch this space.

DON'T FORGET! If you let us know what you think of this year's gift selection and our new brochure by Friday 8th October, you'll be entered into a prize draw to win a hamper worth £100! The winner will be announced on our Facebook, Twitter and Blog pages on Friday 15th October.
