GLOBAL GIANT IN PROMOTIONAL BAGS JOINS FORCES WITH UK’s BEST

Crazy: Bags & Halfar strike strategic alliance 

UK leading trade-only promotional bag supplier Crazy: Bags has struck a unique alliance with global promotional bag manufacturer and specialist, Halfar.

Effective from May 1^st 2012, UK distributors will have unlimited and previously unparalleled access to the full range of Halfar products whilst working with a trusted and established UK based brand.

Speaking of the move, Andy Steavenson, managing director for Crazy: Bags commented; “This is a really exciting opportunity for the UK promotional merchandise industry. 

“Driven by the economy and the need for wider product choices, the temptation for many distributors has understandably been to push work overseas.  This has in numerous cases meant passing on costs to clients or worse, having to swallow the costs; all of which has contributed to a dilution of our market.  

“Halfar is well known for quality products and has literally every product in its arsenal. With a 3-year warranty on materials and workmanship and stringent quality controls, our distributors can stay focused on what they need to do, working with a UK based supplier and keeping profits where they need to be.”

Halfar has a formidable reputation for outstanding products, innovative designs and total durability and flexibility, with arguably the most comprehensive product range available from a single manufacturer.

The strategic alliance with Crazy: Bags means the UK now has full access to the complete Halfar range whilst working with a recognised, respected and trusted UK based brand.

UK trade distributors will continue to receive the same attention to detail, swift turn-around and excellence in service from the Crazy: Bags team, with the entire Crazy: Bags and Halfar product range at their disposal.

Halfar® Expressbags will be with your customer in 5-days from artwork approval, with 2–4-week delivery for standard orders.  Samples are usually received within 2-3 days.  All samples are chargeable if not returned. Embroidery, screen, digital, off set, transfer and doming options are available.

The Halfar range is available to trade-only via the member’s only area of the Crazy: Bags website. For more information please visit www.crazybags.co.uk or call 01892 752154.

NEW 360 DEGREE PHOTOS SET TO TRANSFORM PROMOTIONAL BAGS

Crazy: Bags introduces new concept to website for members to make life easier

Leading trade-only bag specialists Crazy: Bags has launched a brand new concept in time for the New Year.  Trade members of the Crazy: Bags website can now log on to the members area to find 360 degree images of all the stock products as well as some of the wider bespoke range.

One of the first to introduce the model to promotional merchandise, the concept is another example of Crazy: Bags drive to continually enhance the products and services it can offer the industry and its clients.

Talking of the move managing director Andy Steavenson commented; “This is a fantastic tool for our industry.  We know our products and how to use them in a promotional context, but getting this across to customers can sometimes be hard.  

The 360 degree rotation gives full visibility and understanding in an instant whilst adding a fresh dynamic to how we can interact with customers, providing them with another key sales tool to help them make the sale.”

Members of the website can use the 360 degree product library, as well as having access to a host of other sales and marketing tools, price lists and special offers available for trade-members only.

Andy Steavenson continues; “As our customers know, we have a policy of listening and responding to their needs wherever possible. We made the transition to trade-only in September last year and now we have introduced our 360 degree product library. 

It is just the next step in our evolution to provide the best and right service for our customers, listening to their needs and responses and more importantly, taking actions as a result of that feedback.”
