Everyone has officially kicked off for Christmas and the first thing we have to do is to say thank you to Mark Drury from Pioneer for coming in last week and doing a Christmas BMTV. Mark showed us how to make Christmas retail designs that you can sell in your retail shop!

Speaking of Christmas, we are open as normal on the 21st of December but are out for our Christmas lunch on the 22nd we will still be sending out parcels on Friday but they are likely to not arrive before the Christmas period so order early if you need anything for Christmas!

We are talking about Vinyl again this week as it is proving far more popular than we ever thought! We started selling vinyl primarily as a convenience to our customers who didn’t want to buy in bulk from the manufacturers. Vinyl is proving to be super popular for customisation of balloons and is not going away. People use a vinyl cutting machines such as the Silhouette Cameo or the Cricut machines to print out a sticker of someone’s name or a design that is personal to them and stick on a balloon for an extra selling point. As well as a range of colours of the Vinyl we also sell Vinyl accessories such as the auto blade and a vinyl squeegee. If there is any other products you would like us to stock then drop us an email!

Next up we have a tip for how to make money from cello-roll. If you own a retail shop, get a roll of cello-roll and cut into 2 metre lengths. Roll them up and sell them for £2 like you would sell wrapping paper. Gift bags and hampers are becoming more popular as gift ideas and if you sell the entire roll for £2 each then you’ll make around £100!
