Summer update and behind the scenes

We were delighted to launch our new websites last week after a year of photo shoots, hard work and lots of working behind the scenes with our web people and ecommerce seo consultants.  I have also really enjoyed doing lots of step by step tutorials which I plan to add with products, as well as showcase them on Flickr and Pinterest.

We’ve used lots of props to give a fresh approach and had great fun working with many different pieces from old wooden cupboards to china tea sets.  I love nothing more than to rummage at local antique fairs to find perfect junk for a photo shoot.

One thing I was keen to launch was the Gift Wrapping Secrets area.  For over 13 years I have been running gift wrapping courses all over the UK and after completing the course students can access the confidential area for personal use (You will find the log in details at the bottom of this post). There’s still lots of work on my to do list but I’m getting through it bit by bit.

We found that the back up courses website was really helpful tool so students could focus on the
practical side in the class and not miss vital points whilst scribbling lots of notes, giggling with tension!

Another great thing we added was the ‘Pay per view videos’ If you didn’t stretch to buying the DVD, you can now watch single clips which start at only £1.25.
We have also popped on the DVD introduction on our YouTube clip, and I’m planning to do lots of new clips as my head is buzzing with ideas.

We hope that you like our new websites and as a little thank you, we’re offering a 30% discount on our 10M rolls of ribbon in our ‘Big Blog Sale’
