Books Are My Bag campaign is launched

Posted by Print Week News on Sep 3, 2013 in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Books Are My Bag campaign is launched

The Books Are My Bag campaign was launched in April at The London Book Fair, but kicks off in earnest with a Big Bookshop Party on Saturday 14 September. This will see bookshops around the country hold readings, competitions and author events, and distribute Books are My Bag canvas bags. The campaign is calling on book lovers to show their support by purchasing a book on 14 September from their local bookshop. Further events will be held in the run up to Christmas, with over a quarter of a million bags distributed from 14 September to Christmas at over 1,800 chain and independent bookshops across the UK and Ireland. “The campaign is really designed to make people aware of the importance of the bookshop in our high streets and campuses and also of the role the bookseller plays in the community,” said Tim Godfray, chief executive officer at the Booksellers Association, one of the organisations collaborating on the campaign. “It’s not just about selling books, it’s also about promoting reading and improving literacy.” Also collaborating on the campaign is advertising agency M&C Saatchi, the Publishers Association and the Society of Authors. It has so far been endorsed by a wide range of authors, publishers and retailers including creator of the Horrid Henry childrens books Francesca Simon, publishers Random House and Penguin, and Waterstones and WH Smith. Rumoured to be among the around 100 high profile individuals supporting the campaign, are Jamie Oliver, Mariella Frostrup, Bill Nighy and Delia Smith. A full list, with accompanying images of the celebs sporting campaign bags, will be revealed on 14 September. Several UK printers, including Clays and CPI, have also expressed support. Alison Kaye, UK group sales director at CPI said: “CPI is naturally very supportive of any initiative that puts the spotlight on books and helps bookshops to flourish. Well over half of consumer book buying decisions are made in a bookshop, so the high street is vital to the entire publishing industry. The Books Are My Bag campaign will encourage everyone to share their passion for books, which is good for us all.” Highlighting the need for such an initiative, the Books Are My Bag campaign points to the fact that 88% of British book buyers are concerned there are fewer bookshops on the high streets than five years ago. Godfray said: “Our bookshops have been under a lot of pressure in the last few years because of the way consumers are altering their buying patterns, and I think it’s important to remind consumers they have a real role to play.” He added: “It’s not really a question of the high street bookshop being only a champion of the printed book, but they do have a particular synergy. You can go into the shop and actually see the product; you can have a look before you buy it.” A full list of Books Are My Bag events can be found at www.booksaremybag.com....

Newgate Concise in voluntary liquidation

Posted by Print Week News on Sep 3, 2013 in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Newgate Concise in voluntary liquidation

A meeting of creditors took place on Friday (30 August) with the liquidator’s report to be published within 28 days. One of the main factors behind the firm’s closure is understood to be a forced move after the firm’s landlord’s decided to not renew the company’s lease. PrintWeek understands that the company tried to find alternative premises, but lack of suitable premises nearby and associated relocation costs, such as dilapidation fees on the old premises and upgrading new premises, led the directors to close the business and place it in voluntary liquidation. The business, which was initially shortlisted in the PrintWeek Awards 2013 but subsequently withdrawn, was owned by holding company Polarview. According to the last abbreviated accounts, submitted in March 2012, the business was headed by directors Cleveland Deroche, Teresa Garland, Stewart and Stephanie Bose and Christopher Chabdon. It is understood that the business housed a six-colour Heidelberg Speedmaster SM52, a six-colour CD102 and a five-colour B2 press, at its Rotherhithe facility, as well as a raft of pre-press technology, a B2 UV varnisher and guillotining equipment. Originally founded as Newgate Press in 1946, the litho printer split into two with Concise Cover Printers specialising in paperback book cover printing. The two businesses amalgamated in 2004 to become Newgate Concise, which until last month employed around 12 members of staff....

RedTie to host W2P seminars

Posted by Print Week News on Sep 3, 2013 in Uncategorized | Comments Off on RedTie to host W2P seminars

The three free events are designed to give a clearer understanding of implementing web-to-print, exploring routes to market and educating end customers. “Printers of course are aware of web-to-print but it’s still a case of telling them about solutions selling as opposed to a traditional print sales,” said marketing manager Selena Tombs. “Web-to-print is not about substrates and different machines, it’s about saving time and money. It’s a different conversation, and that can take some getting used to for some printers.” The first event, on 18 September, is called a Solution Selling Print Services seminar and is targeted at managing directors, sales managers, marketing managers and directors and other members of the sales team. It will be held at Merrist Wood Golf Club in Guildford, Surrey, and look at how to approach prospective customers and what options should be offered. It will cover strategies and tips on how to sell print services and use online print portals to “empower” customers. The second event, called Taking Your Print Business Online, is on 25 September at Cawder Golf Club in Glasgow will cover the same material and also look at “how to craft a winning web-to-print solution”. The third seminar is being held on 17 October at BPIF Midland Business Centre, Coventry. Delegates will look at the kind of tactics needed to influence decision makers and how to become a trusted web-to-print partner. Visit http://www.red-tie.com/ for more details....

St Ives chief named president of Ipex

Posted by Print Week News on Sep 2, 2013 in Uncategorized | Comments Off on St Ives chief named president of Ipex

“I was asked to do it some time ago and initially I said no, but I was fortunate enough to be asked again and thought, actually, I would like to do it, and hopefully add some value in terms of where Ipex is heading,” said Martell. “I’ve been saying for some time that Ipex needs to focus on how to use print, rather than how to print. By combining marketing services and print we’ve shown just how impactful print can be. That’s what we’ve focused on at St Ives and that’s where I think I can help in terms of my presidency at Ipex.” The prime function of the role will be chairing the Ipex 360 Committee, the show’s new ‘visitor focused steering group’. The members of the 360 Committee are being finalised now, with the first meeting scheduled to take place in late September-early October. According to Ipex event director Trevor Crawford, the committee will be made up of six-to-eight representatives across the whole value chain, including large and small printing firms, marketing agencies and print buyers. “My input, I hope, will be focused on the broader challenges and things that print can bring rather than just a narrow focus on print in isolation,” said Martell. He added that shows like Ipex still have an important role to play in shaping the future direction of the print industry. “We also need to attract the users of print to these shows as well as the providers of print,” he said. Martell became chief executive of the £330m-turnover St Ives group in 2009, having joined as an apprentice in 1980 and worked his way up. In his tenure as chief executive he has overseen the group’s ongoing evolution from offering purely print into a fully fledged marketing services group....
