Impamark Approved – Face Coverings

Keys, wallet, phone… and face covering!

Who’d have ever imagined face coverings would be such an integral part of 2020? We sure didn’t!

To help you out, we decided to do a short summary of 5 face coverings that have proved popular with our clients. Oh, and if you would like to see them in action (we even purchased a model head!), check out our video which will be linked at the end of this post.

Mask 1)

Made from 95% polyester and 5% elastane, these face coverings are single layer with integrated ear loops. They can be branded with just a single colour print but they can also take a full colour print.

They are all individually packaged and available in white, blue, red, green and pink.

Mask 2)

Made from 95% polyester, these face coverings are a 3 layer pleated covering with elasticated ear loops. 2 layer cotton and 1 layer non woven material, they can be branded up to 3 spot colours or can be embroidered with your logo.

Including the black mask pictured, these come in a choice of 20 different colours.

Mask 3)


Available in a choice of 2 or 3 layers, this face covering offer a more fitted style. Top layer polyester and bottom layer(s) cotton, they all come with a choice of ear loops – fabric or elastic.All of these coverings can be matched to any pantone reference which ensures consistency with your brand guidelines.

Mask 4)


Another 3 layer face covering made from 100% recycled cotton. They use silver ion antibacterial technology to remove odour and keep mask feeling fresh.They all come with adjustable ear loops and are available in 9 standard colours. However, if you are after a different colour, we can see what we can do!

Mask 5)

With a choice of 1 or 2 layers, these face coverings come in 2 different styles. A more fitted shape (left) and a general covering style (right). Both come with elasticated ear loops and can take a full colour print as standard.

In addition, they can be printed to both sides so different designs can be achieved on alternative sides!

Meet The Team

The Impamark Team

Get to know us!

Have you dealt with Impamark before or are you a complete newbie to us? Whichever the answer, do not fear! We thought we would do a quick introduction to each of the team so you can put a face to a name. After all, it’s hard to imagine what someone looks like just from one phonecall, right?

Nicky – Managing Director

Nicky-MD Nicky has been the Managing Director of Impamark for over 30 years and is based over in our Spanish office. She took over the business after her parents retired back in 2006. With her years of experience in the promotional merchandise industry, she is always on hand to offer expert advice to both customers and the rest of the team.

Nicky’s favourite promo item is anything Bamboo related. Bamboo has fast growing properties and due to its longevity, can be regenerated to create products that do not place a strain on the environment.

Outside of work, Nicky enjoys being in the water. From swimming to snorkelling, she’ll never be far from the sea or her pool! She also enjoys travelling and exploring new places, not to forget a spot of wine tasting along the way!

John – IT & Technical Support Manager

John

John is our IT and Technical Support Manager and has been working for Impamark for 17 years. He, like Nicky, is based over in our Spanish office. Thankfully for us in the UK office, it does not stop him from overseeing and sorting our IT issues remotely!

John has a few favourite promotional items. One that has to be mentioned is any type of Mug as he is the biggest coffee lover you’ll find! As well as drinkware, he is an avid Tech fan and loves any gadgets he can get his hands on.

When not working, John enjoys sailing, open source coding, and anything to do with computers. Oh, and loves a glass of wine!

Denise – Sales Account Executive

Denise

Denise is one of our knowledgable and enthusiastic Sales Account Executives. She is the final member of the team to be based in the Spanish Office and has been working for the company for just over 3 years. She is primarily in charge of our army and regimental clients.

Her favourite promotional item is a Thermal Cup. They are just so handy! Running late to work and no time finish your morning tea? Drink it on your journey. Heading out for a long walk on a Sunday afternoon? Fill it with some water and you are good to go!

Outside of work, Denise enjoys taking local trips and exploring new places. She also has 4 dogs (yes, 4 dogs!) to keep her busy so you’ll find her in the countryside walking with them or her friends.

Cathy – Sales & Finance Manager

Cathy

Cathy is our Sales and Finance Manager. She is based in the UK office and has been a part of the team for 4 years. She is in charge of all things finance so if you have an accounts query or question, Cathy will be there to help! As well as this, she also manages some of her own key accounts.

Her favourite promotional item is an Umbrella. She loves how versatile they can be! From the choice of handles, colours and funky features, there is something for everyone and all budgets.

When Cathy is away from her desk, she is heavily involved in a local Amateur Dramatics group which she is infact Chairman of. Come the evening, she enjoys being in her hot tub with her favourite glass of wine. Lucky for some!

Ian – UK Sales Account Executive

Ian

Ian is another one of our helpful Sales Executives. He is also based in our UK Office in Essex and has been working for Impamark for just over 3 years. If he is not at his desk, he will be out on the road seeing new and existing clients to help their brand stand out! He also represents the company at networking events and exhibitions.

His favourite promotional item is anything tech or gadgets. From Wireless Powerbanks to LED Charging Cables, there is always something new and innovative coming out!

When Ian is not working, he enjoys spending time with his family and going on holidays. He has a 4 year old daughter who keeps him on his toes so as you can imagine, there is never a boring moment!

Holly – Digital Marketing & Sales Support Executive

holly

The final member of the team is Holly and she’s our Digital Marketing and Sales Support Executive. Based in our UK office, she’s been working for Impamark for 3 years. Her role is to ensure the company has an excellent online presence as well as helping with day to day support and admin jobs within the company.

Her favourite promotional item is a reusable bottle. There’s never a day where she won’t have one on her desk! Not only does using her reusable bottle keep her hydrated but it also helps to reduce her plastic consumption.

When she is not working, she enjoys going to concerts and music festivals with her friends. She also loves going on mini city breaks and exploring new places (with her reusable water bottle, obviously!)

Merry Christmas from Impamark

CHRISTMAS SHUTDOWN 2018 – CLOSED FRIDAY 21ST DECEMBER FROM 1.00 P.M. AND REOPENING WEDNESDAY 2ND JANUARY AT 9.00 A.M.

2018 has been a very interesting year for us at Impamark.

At the beginning of the year we launched our Happy Turtle logo with the strapline “Our solution is less pollution”. This reflects our move to a more environmentally friendly stance, and we hope this will assist in raising the world wide issue of plastic pollution. We are actively focusing on more environmentally friendly promotional merchandise and promoting to our clients where possible. In addition we are Corporate members of the Essex Wildlife Trust and in August we joined the WWF’s campaign by adopting a turtle.

In September 2017 Holly joined us as an apprentice studying for her NVQ level 2 in Business Administration. We are immensely proud that in September this year she won Apprentice of the Year at the ACL Awards.

Holly has also been studying for her TPM qualification (Trained in Promotional Merchandise), and she takes her exam in December. This is an industry standard training organised by the BPMA (British Promotional Merchandise Association), of which we have been members for over 10 years.

In addition, Will, our IT Support Technician having completed level 3 and level 4 BTEC qualifications as part of his apprenticeship, has also completed his TPM qualification earlier this year.

As a team we have visited clients this year across the UK from the West country to Scotland. In April we held our fourth client day entitled ‘The Power of Brand’ at Five Lakes Hotel near Colchester which was attended by clients from all across the UK. We had over 30 top merchandise suppliers exhibiting, and 4 key speakers including the Director General of the BPMA. We held our first ever Business Awards which was really well received. The day was completely free of charge to those that attended, and the feedback was very positive with people saying it was a great way to find new products and ideas, and it was wonderful to learn more about branding. It was also a good opportunity for the Impamark team to meet so many of you and I am sure it will be something that we will repeat again in the future.

Impamark Macmillan Coffee Morning Image

As a team we take training very seriously and we have all visited various supplier factories to learn more about innovative branding processes, as well as attending different trade shows across the UK so we can bring you the latest product information.

In November we exhibited at the Chelmsford Showcase for Business and also sponsored the Essex Hairdressers Under 25’s Competition, with fantastic prizes for the winners, gifts for the judges and goody bags for all attendees.

We have also raised £133 for Essex Wildlife Trust via a fundraising raffle in April, and we recently held a Macmillan Coffee Morning and raised over £270!

We would like to remind you all that Chinese New Year, (CNY) is 5th February which will mean that orders for delivery pre CNY will need to be placed before 20th December. Any orders placed in January will be delivered in March. In addition to this we don’t know at this stage what the effect of Brexit will have on our industry supply chain. Therefore, we strongly encourage everyone to place orders in December and January for any events or requirements in the first three months of 2019.

Chinese New Year 2019! Year of the Pig

All that is left for me to say is from all of us here at Impamark we would like to thank everyone for their continued support throughout 2018. We look forward to working closely with you again next year. Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas break and a peaceful and prosperous New Year.

Nicky & the Team

Merry Christmas from all of the team

Fantastic Amazon Voucher Offer to Celebrate Promotional Products Week 2015

To commemorate #PPWeek 2015 Impamark have a fantastic Amazon Voucher offer for all their clients who place orders during this week.

This week also coincides with the Companies 40th anniversary based in Burnham on Crouch and is therefore a great opportunity to celebrate with the industry.

Promotional Products Week is the brainchild of the industry’s umbrella organisation the BPMA (The British Promotional Merchandise Association) of which Impamark has been a member for 10 years. This year the theme of “Promotional Products Invokes Action” promotes the positive effect of incorporating personalised merchandise within your marketing mix. To publicise this to maximum effect the BPMA have a new mascot, a panda – and he can be seen this week promoting branded merchandise across the UK #PromothePanda

IMPAMARK SUPPORTS THE FIRST EVER NATIONAL PROMOTIONAL PRODUCT WEEK 16TH – 20TH SEPT

Organised by the British Promotional Merchandise Association (BPMA), National Promotional Products Week is a celebration of the Promotional Products Industry. Much more than just a freebie, if a promotional item is useful, then research shows that 89% of people will keep it

The aim of Promotional Products Week is to raise the profile of personalised products and encourage their use within the marketing mix. We want companies to recognise the value of personalised merchandise and understand the many different ways they can improve brand awareness

To support this National Campaign Impamark are hosting a Business Networking Event on 11th September at their offices at Dammerwick Farm, exhibiting at Think Local Exhibition in Cold Norton on 13th September and finally are offering FREE AMAZON VOUCHERS on orders placed during the week of the 16th – 20th September

For further details on Promotional Products Week please visit the website http://promotionalproductsweek.co.uk/

IMPAMARK HOST FREE BURNHAM BUSINESS NETWORKING EVENT – 11TH SEPTEMBER

Numbers are already almost 50 for the Burnham Business Networking Event to be held in conjunction with Burnham Chamber of Commerce on 11th September at Impamark’s offices at Dammerwick Farm.

Managing Director Nicky Crisp is overwhelmed by the number of local businesses and organisations that have already reserved spaces and says

“I think the timing of the event – 5.30 p.m. until 7.00 p.m. straight after the working day, appeals to local people as they can call in after business has finished and before going home. We are offering low key networking mixed with a glass of wine and nibbles. ”

The event also hopes to raise money with a Fundraising Raffle on the night for local charity Crouch Valley Nightstop

The Nightstop is a coordination service where local people offer a bed for
the night to children who run away from home for any reason. They then try to reconcile between the child and family or at worse arrange more permanent care accommodation.

The police no longer deal with runaways over the age of 13 and social
workers do not get involved until the child is abused or harmed.

According to information received from the police and schools there are 4 or 5 children who run away from homes in the Dengie every month and many of them get on a train and end up in London and normally a life of prostitution, crime and drug abuse. Most children don’t get found again once they get to London.

The evening ties in with promoting the first ever National Promotional Products Week which runs the following week 16th – 20th September

Organised by the BPMA (British Promotional Merchandise Association) The aim of National Promotional Products Week is to raise the profile of promotional merchandise and encourage its use within the marketing mix. Watch out for some excellent offers Impamark are running in conjunction with this week!

if you would like to attend this event then please contact Nicky on nicky@impamark.co.uk or call 01621 783550 to reserve your FREE place!
