Binders and Dividers
Present your sales catalog in an attractive binder with customised tabs. This will show that you are serious about your product and your customers. You can arrange matching diaries or folios as a giveaway for special clients.

Portable Displays
A large scale picture, photo or logo will command attention from passing visitors. This is your chance to pitch your best product to your target market. Were people squinting as they looked at your booth last year? Maybe you need to beef up your banners or blow up your brochure.

Extra Business Cards
Don’t get caught short of business cards! Some clients even have special ones printed up without mobiles or email addresses, so they can hand them out to anyone. Order a fresh set for yourself and any other support staff. Get them done well in advance so you’re not stuck trying to rush them off the day before the show starts.

Carry Bags
This is a great opportunity for free advertising. Every tradeshow visitor needs a big bag to cram all the brochures, pamphlets and giveaways they collect along the way – the bigger the better. So order some heavy duty ones, screenprint your slogan on the side of them and hand out as many as you can. Soon the show will be full of walking billboards for your business!

Several different kinds of signs are produce at The Screenery. For outdoor usage metal refective signs are the most popular. These can be screenprinted in any or covered with vinyl adhesive lettering. All sizes can be catered for up to several metres. For temporary usage, such as special events or tradeshows, you might need a canvas or vinyl banner. Indoor signage allows more flexibility for size and material. Coloured acrylic plates can affixed to walls with vinyl printing, or lettering can be applied directly to panels or glass.

More organisations are opting for the convenience of pop-up or collapsible displays. They can be used in-house and then easily transported to special events, tradeshows or functions. They are great for a high-impact graphic such as large photos or company logos. They are easy to carry in the back of the car and fold out to an impressive size.

It’s good to take a long term view when it comes to signage. Aim for something that will have a live of five years or more. If you make the mistake of buying cheap signage you end up with two problems, fewer people see your message, and secondly your signs will need replacing sooner, due to UV or rain damage.

Talk to our friendly staff at The Screenery they will help you to select the right kind of signs for your situation.

Have you ever thought how many pairs of eyes view your company fleet every day? In most cases it is in the thousands. Throughout a year, that could be a half a million or more. Now ask yourself – are you making the most of this incredible opportunity?

Most likely you’ve seen some brilliant designs on other fleet cars – even today. It doesn’t take much to make a car, van or truck stand out in the crowd.

The quickest and easiest option is the magnetic door sign. Your logo, slogan and phone number may be all you need. The next step up is cutout lettering to place along your tail-gate or rear bumper. Vans have the edge here, with the large surface space allowing for big letters and images.

If you want the works, go for a wrap-around colour across your bonnet or roof. This will give you space for photos, logos and some dot points about your company. Keep it simple though. Plenty of solid colour and not too many words – people are driving right?

There comes a time when your corporate documents need to be upgraded to a dedicated binder. It’s a sign of the maturity of your organisation when you take the time to look at these items and understand how they impact your image. Here are a few signs to look for when it’s time to upgrade your catalog, corporate folder or training manual.

There comes a time when your corporate documents need to be upgraded to a dedicated folder. It’s a sign of the maturity of your organisation when you take the time to look at these items and understand how they impact your image. Here are a few signs to look for when it’s time to upgrade your catalog, corporate folder or training manual.

- You have a pile of generic ring binders with generic labels
- Your pricelist is bulging out of your company presentation folders
- Your spiral-bound training manuals go out of date too fast
- You hear admiring comments about your competitors sales kit

It’s interesting how an ordinary document can command extra respect when placed in a custom designed ring binder. It is a simple way to convey the importance of a project or a new initiative in your organisation. It creates an opportunity to brand your document and package it in a way that gives it more lasting value. But there are many other practical advantages of custom binders.

Custom Binders are versatile. They can hold a huge range of material beyond printed sheets. You can include photos, CDs and brochures, group small items into clear sleeves or mount samples on sheets and ring punch them. Many organisations like to build an evolving manual or catalog that can be updated each year with new inserts. Some are fitted with auxiliary pockets on the inside covers for added convenience

One big advantage is the ability to categorise a complex document using tabbed dividers. Tennyson Group is a leading manufacturer of tabbed mylar dividers. These have proven to be extremely hard-wearing as well as being bright and attractive.

There are three main kinds of binder. The most popular model has a cover with a clear pockets for colourful inserts on the front, back and spine. The favourite model for legal professionals and companies in the finance industry is the printed leather or textured vinyl. These are usually customised with a logo in gold or silver foil, but any colour combination can be used. For a more modern finish, try some of the new, translucent acrylic materials or even metal. These can be screen printed in corporate colours in many different shapes and sizes.

The printing press was invented in Germany by the goldsmith and printer Johannes Gutenberg in 1447. Printing
methods based on Gutenberg’s printing press spread rapidly throughout
first Europe and then the rest of the world, replacing most block
printing and making it the sole progenitor of modern movable type
printing.

often been discussed in terms of the effect of the “printing press” on
civilization—a rhetorical device, which alludes to the pivotal role of
the printing press in the global spread of printing.

Movable type printing,
which allowed individual characters to be arranged to form words, is a
separate invention from the printing press. In what is regarded as an
independent invention, movable type printing as we know it today was
invented in Germany by Gutenberg in the 1440s, although the first known
invention was in China by Bi Sheng between 1041 and 1048.

One of the most common problems for business today is having a website that is out of date. It’s a sure turn off when your website is stale and old. Sometimes it is the content that needs updating – or the look and feel no longer compares with today’s dynamic style. You will need to solve both of these problems. Very often, your website is the first part of your business that prospective clients will see, so if it looks a bit daggy give it a makeover.

Tennyson Group’s in-house web design staff use proven design ideas and the hand picked solutions when we recommend a new look. For example, significant advances have been made in the area of content management, which means it’s easy for you to make simple changes to your own site if you want to. We can choose the right Content Management Solution for your particular needs and budget.

Perhaps you are generally happy with your website and it just needs a freshen up. We can advise you on that too.

HOLD THE TECHNOSPEAK!
There is so much misinformation about the web you’ll appreciate the no-nonsense approach we take. You won’t be forced to listen to a bunch of nerds speaking a different language. Good web design is like all good communication – it gets your message across to the right people in a creative and engaging way – and creates a measurable response.

It’s surprising how many websites are designed by people with no knowledge of marketing. Instead the effort often goes into cute visual tricks or unnecessary databases. Another common problem is a website that is so hard to navigate, you get lost trying to find the thing you came looking for. It shouldn’t be that hard.

If it has been more than a year since you sat down with a professional to discuss your website, let us know. We will provide you with quick, free audit of your site and recommend any changes necessary.

Our bigger customers soon notice something different about our Print Management service that they aren’t used to. No, it’s not the ISO9001 Quality Assurance standard, nor is it the streamlined ordering system that enables you to monitor your procurement levels across Australia and it’s not just the range of printing technologies on hand. It’s one simple thing: the personalised human service that goes with each order and delivery.

No amount of technology or state of the art system is ever as important as having an experienced, responsive professional attending to the your individual requirements. Whether it is monitoring batch sized or checking colours, each aspect of the job needs personal attention, and our print management clients know they can expect it across the board.

Here’s an Example
One customer uses our print management data to evaluate the effectiveness of their marketing. Because we deliver brochures and application forms dozens of branches, they use that data to compare the performance of each branch. If one branch is ordering less of a certain application form, or fewer business cards, they can quickly follow it up. They also know that if they have an important requirement, they can talk directly with senior executives at Tennyson.

Print Management is a serious business that will have a big impact on your supply budget each year. It should also provide bring peace of mind to know your printing needs are proactively monitored. And that you can pick up the phone and get immediate feedback when required.
