    Default Free Mug? Who can resist. When vistaprint make an offer do they expect anyone to...

    As any contractor will know the most important tool of the day is a nice big coffee mug.

    And in buisness you cant just advertise to yourself. You gotta get out there and
    ground pound the streets looking for work.

    Its the same with us. We cant just sit in the office all day drinking coffee.
    We have to promote PORSADRILL to retailers etc.

    So when Vistaprint offered us a FREE mug we thought it was worth a cheeky peek.
    Of course they dont really expect any company to order ONE mug right?

    Its just a ruse to get you to look at their site and put an order in for more than one mug.
    After all whats the point of having ONE promotional mug for your company.

    Cue the company check book and yes you guessed it. 365Drills has bought ONE MUG only!! *



    So here is the marketing tool of all time..... ONE SINGLE MUG promoting the company 365Drills



    And here it is in full use for the first time!

    What vistaprint didnt count on was that we are a bit stingy with our marketing budget so we took them up with their offer.

    Now we just need to decide what to do with it.

    Maybe we will donate it to this forum and its "Contractor of the month award"....

    Or maybe its just too valuable for that !!!



    Perhaps it will be displayed in the back window of the delivery fleet.



    But until we decide then its thank you vistaprint for our free mug !

    *The mug was free but we had to pay £2.99 postage and packing

    Agree with you that £3 seems to be the going rate. But they all seem to have minimum orders of about 100 mugs.
    I mulled it over but I couldnt see us getting back our money if we went down this promo route.

    For example we service 5 tile training centres and I thought about giving them 15 mugs each but then I lost interest.

    Well at least we have one mug to drink out of at the factory!!



    Thats enough drills packed... Time to break out the one coffee mug between us !!!!
