AddMat Calculator Mats
It is some time since we had an enquiry for these mouse mats yet once upon a time they were very popular. Obviously, fashions change, and that is just as well otherwise we would be back in the boring old 1950’s, but I am not sure why these mats are so out of favour with our customers just now. On the other hand we cannot turn round orders for hardtop mousemats fast enough; there is clearly a big market out there for these items.
Thinking about mouse mats and business gifts has lead me to think about next Christmas – yes I know, it is 7 months away but the sooner we get our thinking caps on the better, before we know it we shall be back in the last minute panic. Do try to train your customers to think ahead, life would be so much easier and certainly your customers would be happier with their choices if a little more time was given to planning. There are lots of new pens in our range and some of them are supplied with free presentation boxes, perfect for mailing to customers or giving to employees as Christmas presents, but like all products these items become scarce at Christmas time and lead times get very scary. Diaries are another case in point, not surprisingly this is an important item on the Christmas shopping list but they sell out, very fast. It is far better to order your diaries in June and be sure of having exactly what you want rather than waiting until December 15th when all that is left will be very expensive.
