🎁 Last Minute Orders: Scale Your Mail & Parcels Like a Seasoned Pro In part 5 of our Holiday Hustle Blog Series, we tackle last minute orders. There's nothing quite like waiting until the last minute to do your holiday shopping. For mail and parcel operations, the season is full of surprises. Unexpected orders, fluctuating demand, and last-minute rushes can strain even the most prepared warehouses and printshops. Businesses need to be agile. They must be ready to scale up or down at a moment’s notice to handle these challenges while maintaining accuracy and speed. Read on to learn how BlueCrest’s scalable solutions empower mail production facilities and warehouses to adapt quickly and maintain smooth order fulfillment operations for satisfied customers, no matter the season’s surprises.

Well it is event season after all! It’s been a busy few weeks and it’s not letting up yet but aside from the big man in the red suit I love this time of year where we get to celebrate our amazing industry. The Printing Charity luncheon is a personal fave. Incredible to hear the amazing support the charity provides across our sector from our very own David Phillips and charity chair. Special thanks to BlueCrest for the invitation. We are extremely honoured to continue to partner with Walpole as their trusted print partner and it was an honour to be invited to the annual awards. A magical evening at The Dorchester celebrating the British Luxury industry and celebrating and recognising incredible brands. Apart from my day job I am also a board member of The Strategic Mailing Partnership and I enjoyed catching up with fellow board members rounding out the year after another successful year of igniting passion and demonstrating the effectiveness of the print and mail channel. It’s a pleasure and a privilege to be a board member and our incredible chair Lucy Swanston has big things planned for next year! Watch this space! Lastly even though they had their own post I can’t not mention the West Ham United Foundation gala. The only black tie event that brings me to tears with the inspirational work and support they provide across east London. Now the print calendar isn’t done yet. But goodness me what an honour it is to have these amazing opportunities working for Paragon UK producing beautiful print, delivering effective communications and working with the best customers, colleagues and industry peers! Part 2 round up may follow… #events #print #mail #communication

📫 Say what? Millennials like getting mail?! "Marketers are really starting to look at how millennials respond to marketing.
