Month: December 2017

It’s been a wonderful year for us here at Northside Graphics and two more awards in the last three weeks really are the icing on the Christmas cake! At the end of November Northside Graphics were named Best Trade Supplier/Print Finisher at the Irish Printer Awards, then a week later our MD Gary White collected the UTV/Business Eye Best Digital/Online Company of the Year award at Belfast’s Waterfront Hall.

Northside Graphics – 30 years young and still growing
Following on from two industry honours earlier in the year these latest awards and the loyalty of our customers have made 2017 the most successful of our 30 years in the industry.

UTV/Business Eye award
We’ve always been dedicated to supplying the very best print quality and service to our customers with our Belfast-based customer service team always on hand to give professional, friendly advice. Our website not only shows our huge range of products but even allows you to download templates for your artwork. We supply to a wide range of customers from many business sectors and we want to make it as easy as possible for you to supply print-ready artwork. The UTV/Business Eye Best Digital/Online Printer award tells us we’re certainly going in the right direction.

Irish Printer award
Covering both Northern and Southern Ireland the Irish Printer Awards are judged by a panel of industry experts and print professionals. Our customers know that we only use HP Indigo digital presses to produce the very best quality digital print available. To receive the Best Trade Supplier/Print Finisher award makes us particularly proud of what we do and of the staff who operate our presses and systems.

With these latest two awards joining the PrintWeek SME of the Year and the Digital Printer SME Business Initiative awards, we finish 2017 with a clean sweep of four awards from four nominations. That’s nice but more important to us is that you – our customers – finish the year (and start 2018) knowing that you can trust Northern Ireland’s largest printing company to deliver excellence in print and service all year round.

Promotional banner stands are popular and effective marketing tools used by small and large companies alike. You’ll see them in showrooms, business receptions, hotel foyers and shops as well as at trade shows and other events. Banner stands come in different sizes and styles designed for many different uses. Often a business will roll out their trusty banner stand frequently for different events. Usually that’s not a problem – as long as it’s still in good shape and still relevant.

How has your promotional banner stand stood the test of time?

If you’ve had your promotional banner stand for a while it’s a good idea to take a look at it as part of your current marketing mix and ask yourself a few questions:

Is it still on brand?

It’s not uncommon for your designs to accidentally slip slightly away from your brand guidelines over time, especially if you use different designers from time to time. Even if you haven’t had a full rebranding since you had your banner stand printed you might find that its design looks a little dated and just doesn’t sit alongside more recent marketing. If that’s the case, it’s time for a refresh.

Is it still on message?

Has your business changed since your promotional banner stands were originally printed? If your business has grown and diversified over the years or even months, your stand’s message may be out of date. Does your banner stand still send the message you want potential and existing customers to see?

Has its use changed?

Often customers order a stand for a particular event or location but over time they find themselves using it in different places and for purposes other than those originally envisaged. That can mean the message carried on your promotional banner stand may not always be relevant. If that’s the case, a new more generic promotional stand will be a wise investment.

Does your promotional banner stand look old?

Anything used again and again can start to show signs of wear. That might be the case with a promotional banner stand you use regularly, especially if you bought it some time ago for single use. If your stand has been damaged or stained or even if it’s starting to look a little worn then it’s not going to give the perfect impression you want people to have of your business. If that’s the case, it’s definitely time for a new stand.

For nearly 30 years Northside Graphics has supplied promotional banner stands to all sorts of businesses throughout Northern Ireland. We offer an extensive range from entry level bronze stands right up to our top of the range platinum banner stands that can be used again and again in multiple locations.
