Plan your Christmas and New Year print early
Plan early for your Christmas & New Year print this year to ensure delivery
Christmas arrives quickly for businesses. But this year we could all be facing logistics issues before Christmas - best to play safe.
Plan your print and promotional products early, and we can help you deliver quality, reliability and understanding: right first time.
From Birmingham and Wolverhampton to Shropshire and beyond, Print RFT provide a personal partnership for seasonal print, workwear and promotional products.
We oversee tailored orders personally, while our team manages the process end-to-end. That means less last-minute pressure for you: and more confidence in your brand.
Make your seasonal brand presence count
Christmas and New Year print should do more than carry a festive message. It should strengthen relationships, support sales and keep your business visible when inboxes are busy.
Thoughtful printed materials can help you:
- Thank your clients and suppliers personally
- Remind past clients what you offer
- Promote seasonal offers and events
- Support january sales activity
- Present a consistent, professional brand
- Help your team feel part of the business
A well-planned seasonal campaign creates a valuable digital to physical bridge. Online activity may attract attention, but a printed card, calendar, leaflet or branded gift gives people something tangible to remember.
Christmas cards personal messages stronger relationships
A branded Christmas card can communicate warmth in a way that a standard email often cannot.
Use seasonal cards to thank your clients, suppliers, partners and team members. Include a personal message, your business details and a design that reflects your brand rather than relying on a generic festive template.
For larger mailing lists, we can help you consider:
- Card formats and paper finishes
- Personalised messages
- Addressing and mailing requirements
- Combining cards with seasonal direct mail
- Co-ordinating print with your planned posting dates
The earlier you get in touch, the more time there is to discuss your options and resolve any artwork or data questions. Timings vary according to product, quantity, personalisation and delivery requirements, so early planning is always the safer approach.
Calendars and diaries - your brand in view all year
Calendars and diaries can extend your seasonal message well beyond December. A branded calendar can remain on a client’s desk or wall throughout the year. A quality diary can become part of someone’s daily routine. Both provide useful, repeated visibility for your business without demanding attention.
They are particularly effective for:
- Professional services firms
- Trade and construction businesses
- Estate agents and property companies
- Local retailers and hospitality businesses
- Businesses with regular client relationships.
- Teams planning sales or service activity for the year ahead
Choose a practical format, use your brand colours consistently and include the details clients may need throughout the year. We can help you consider the right product for your audience, quantity and budget.
Promotional gifts - useful memorable on brand
A promotional gift works best when it is useful, well presented and relevant to the person receiving it.
Branded mugs, notebooks, pens, key rings, tote bags and carefully selected promotional gifts can help your business stay visible in offices, homes and working environments. They can also support client appreciation, staff recognition and event activity.
The right gift can help you:
- Show appreciation without overcomplicating your campaign
- Keep your logo visible after the festive season
- Support stronger client relationships
- Give your team something they are pleased to use
- Create a consistent brand experience alongside your printed materials
We can help you choose a suitable product and arrange a tailored quote. Bespoke quotes and prices are approved by paul, while standard items shown online provide transparent pricing through the shop. Payment is required upfront before production begins.
Festive leaflets and Direct Mail reach people directly
Christmas and New Year can be important trading periods. They can also be crowded, with businesses competing for attention online.
A carefully planned leaflet or direct mail campaign can help your message reach a defined audience in a more personal format. Use it to promote:
- Christmas offers
- January services and appointments
- Seasonal opening hours
- Gift ideas and vouchers
- Local events
- New year launches
- Community activity and charitable work
Print RFT can support your campaign from planning and design through to print and delivery. Our leaflet delivery and direct mail service helps you avoid the hassle of coordinating separate suppliers.
For businesses in Birmingham, the wider West Midlands, wolverhampton and surrounding areas, this can provide a practical way to target local households or selected business audiences. We also support clients across Shropshire, and indeed we help with campaigns across the UK
Event materials be ready to welcome people
If your business is attending a Christmas Market, networking event, exhibition or New Year launch, your printed materials should be ready before the event becomes urgent.
Professional event materials can help people find you, understand your offer and remember your business afterwards.
Consider:
- Roller banners
- Posters
- Banners
- Leaflets and flyers
- Business cards
- Branded tablecloths
- Promotional gifts
- Event programmes or booklets
- Stickers for packaging or giveaways
Our four key print product lines remain practical year-round:
- Business cards : make every introduction professional
- Stickers : add your brand to packaging, products and promotional items
- Posters : communicate offers, events and key messages clearly
- Banners : increase visibility indoors and outdoors

Winter workwear keep your team visible
For teams working outdoors, travelling between sites or meeting clients, winter workwear can support both comfort and brand consistency.
Branded jackets, fleeces, gilets, hoodies and hi-vis garments help staff and subcontractors feel part of the team. They also make your business easier to recognise.
Print & workwear are a great way to build and maintain brand awareness, a professional and consistent brand image and help your staff and subcontractors to feel part of the team.
Branded clothing is a high-touch service. We provide expert oversight and bespoke guidance around garment choice, sizing, placement, print and embroidery. This helps connect the inspiration you find online with the finished product through our digital to physical bridge.
Right first time, easy by design

Start early, you'll be glad you did
There is no single lead time for every seasonal product. A simple card order, a personalised mailing, a large calendar run and branded clothing project all have different considerations.
Quantity, artwork, product choice, personalisation and delivery requirements can affect the schedule. That is why we recommend getting in touch early : particularly if you need several products working together as one campaign.
We can help you plan the right combination for your business, agree the details and manage the process from start to finish.
