COVID 19 Update 23rd March

Covid-19 – we are always here to help you

20th March 2020

The UK Chief Medical Officers have recently raised the risk to the public from moderate to high

It has left many wondering how to keep up contact with their customers and prevent their sales pipeline from becoming as empty as the toilet roll shelves

We are sure that many of you are struggling with the current crisis and we wanted you to know that we will do all we can to help

There are clearly no short term fixes and we are all going to have to get used to new working practices

What are Impamark doing about it?

Our staff have always had the ability to work remotely. With two offices in two different countries we have always been well prepared for this type of eventuality

Social distancing is forcing people to look at how they can now market their products and services in new and novel ways. In difficult economic times it is particularly important to keep your name in the forefront of peoples’ minds

Online chat

We have used an internal chat system for a long time and you can reach us directly for a chat via the Livechat on our website

Please look at the bottom right hand corner of our website for the Rocket.Chat Livechat icon:

Or go directly to https://chat.impamark.co.uk/livechat

Video meetings

We recognise that visits to clients are now impractical and we are looking at using more videoconferencing for ‘face to face’ meetings

You can request a video conference via the livechat if you want to talk to us face to face!

Direct access to view orders

You can also login and check your Order Status, Invoices and other information in our Contact management system. Please ask for details

Our main phone number is still 01621 782550 but we also have a secondary number which is completely VOIP and goes to everyone: 01621 834980

New products and ideas

Challenging and changing times call for innovative ideas

Although some clients will tragically have major issues, we know that that a large section of the economy needs to keep working, and will do so

For instance schools may have their sites closed, but they still need to be able to communicate with their students. Councils and other public services still need to communicate with the public, particularly with the elderly who may have no internet connection

We are working hard with our suppliers to think of new products, ideas, and methods for the changing times and will be providing information in due course

Keep safe and well

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.

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
