Hi,
THE PRINT EXCHANGE: Don't miss out on the Christmas Traffic.
To Printers and Print Customers:
Christmas is only 43 Working days away! And for the publishing and Print industry, that often means... a rather busy time of year. With Christmas Cards, Corporate Christmas Gifts, Invitations, and Flyers, and so on, the holidays are often a well deserved break.
Right now, there are Print Customers searching for Printers to give them the best quote and delivery of their Christmas Printing needs, and The Print Exchange is the quickest and most convenient way for Printers to catch Printing Customers at this busy time of year.
The Print Exchange exists purely to match Printers to Print Customers. It has been an excellent source of growth for Printers, and an easy and convenient tool for Print Customers. If you are not a member, and would like to be, contact Ceinwen at the D2P office on (03) 8512 1550, or email cme@d2p.com.au.
Alternatively, Print Customers can check it out at theprintexchange.com.au or for printers visit tpx.d2p.com.au.
Christmas @ D2P
It seems to be that for some people Christmas is a time for Summer, Holidays, Fun, Food, Parties and Friends and Family, but for others is a time for Pressure, Mad Christmas Shoppers, Crazy Busy Work Environments, Expense, Family get togethers and Hangovers. It is apparent you are either a Christmas person, or you are not.
Christmas is an exciting, eventful and frantic time of year, and should be enjoyed the way it was intended... As a celebration.
Following is a list of the top 10 rated worst presents to be given at Christmas time last year according to a company that ran a 'bad present boy-cott' and encouraged people who had received terrible gifts to dump them in their 'Terrible Present Dump Bin'.
It is recommended that if you are indeed in the unfortunate company of one of these Christmas-Haters, you choose one present from this list to give to them... They will more than likely hate Christmas even more then! We hope you find this list as useful and amusing as we did!
1. Clown Art - in the form of prints, statues, T-shirts and towels. Who knows, clown art might make resurgence in the years to come, but for now, resist the urge to purchase anything clown-related. Whether it's a happy clown or a sad clown, the receiver of your gift will resemble the latter.
2. Homemade Jumpers - Remind yourself that the person who knitted the garment at least thought enough of you to take the time to create it, regardless of how itchy and ill-fitting it may be.
3. Puzzles - A good puzzle can be a great way to get the family together. However, be wary of giving a puzzle to anyone between the ages of 15 to 25. This age group sees the concept of working on a puzzle akin to watching grass grow.
4. Tube Socks - Many stores carry them in packages of three at prices thrifty holiday shoppers can't refuse. Retro is in, but not THAT in.
5. Ties - Ugly ties, along with the fruitcake, have become a bad gift cliché. Yet, both items arrived in droves at last year's Bad-Gift Boycott. Ladies, trust us, go easy on the ties this year.
6. Exercise Videos/Diet Books - Even if the package is adorned with multiple bows, it is impossible to give a gift of this ilk without offending the receiver. A gift/hint of this nature is as subtle as a battering ram.
7. Underwear- Women typically choose boxer shorts with overly cute designs that men can't wear to the gym. Men typically choose something too risqué -- your average woman wouldn't wear them in a million years. Men, trust us, go easy on the lingerie.
8. Padded Toilet Seat - What were you thinking?
9. Salami Sample Pack - Salami is best in small quantities. Very few people really, truly have a need for 10 different kinds of sausage at any one time.
10. Chemist Perfumes - It's cute if a very young boy buys it as his first gift for Mom, other than that, cheap perfume is wrong on too many levels to actually list.
Provoking Thought for The Week:
We find comfort among those who agree with us - growth among those who don't.
