There’s no getting away from it – stickers are a fun product that is loved by people of all ages and a throwback to childhood that are still universally enjoyed. Who doesn’t get a frisson of pleasure at peeling off the backer to release a sticker? And who doesn’t get a tingle of satisfaction deciding where to apply said sticker? Versatile and easy to use, stickers are a proven way to expand your market reach and a perfect product for branding or personal use.
We generally associate gold and silver wrapping paper with the festive season but, like puppies, it’s not just for Christmas.
The first beauty of metallic wrapping paper is that it brings instant glamour to anything – whether it is wrapped presents, drawer lining, scrapbooking or in a frame as a poster (you should try this – add a piece of wrapping paper to a lovely frame with a pre-cut mount for an instantly chic picture!)

However, metallic wrapping paper does not need to be limited to silver or gold, nor does it need to be limited to Christmas.
These days making your money go further is more than just a game. The resurgence of the loyalty card is a sign that businesses want you to keep on returning, and the carrot on the stick is the offer of something free or at a reduced price. Tempting!
As a business what should we be making of this phenomena? One thing is clear – to get more business it has to be attractive to potential new customers and rewarding to existing ones. These days it doesn’t matter what type of business you are in, you are in a very competitive market! From cafes (free coffee for every 6 purchased) to holidays (stay 6 nights and get one free) if you do not have an edge then the consumer will click or walk away…..
