Prezzybox Goes Pink

Gearing Up For Breast Cancer Month

Breast Cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. Affecting men and women, this deadly disease is one that has touched many lives. Throughout the month of October, Prezzybox.com will be helping to raise awareness and money for St Giles Hospice which provides high quality care for local people living with cancer or serious illnesses. To help us out we are asking people to feature what we are doing, this could be something as simple as a blog post, this will help us raise as much money as possible!

Every one of Prezzybox.com’s employees have put themselves up to do a bit of fundraising. Some examples of the challenges being taken up are; losing a stone in a month, 100 mile bike ride and a tattoo. Topping off the month will be Zak who has nominated himself to do a skydive which has been kindly donated to us from BuyaGift.co.uk

Prezzybox.com are always up for a laugh, and the MD, Zak Edwards, is no exception. He has agreed to take part in every activity that the staff are undertaking. This means that he will be losing a stone, getting a tattoo, and riding 100 miles on his bike alongside his fundraising staff! He will also be battling his fear of heights and taking on his own sky dive.

Prezzybox are trying to raise as much money as possible, and sponsoring is easy through the Justgiving page www.justgiving.co.uk/prezzybox

Prezzybox.com will also be bringing out some new videos to tie in with the theme, including the video of Zak’s Skydive, so keep an eye out for those.

Thumbs Up dominates Autumn Fair

Thumbs Up’s stand at Autumn Fair at the NEC this year was one of the most distinctive and highly visited at the whole event.

The new branding really emphasised the fresh and innovative approach that the company has to marketing itself.

Overall, the event was a huge success for Thumbs Up, with many new customers praising the company’s products and direction, with a whole plethora of large orders placed.

The stand showed off the new range of products to excellent effect – especially the Elektro range of light-up t-shirts, which include Batman and Transformers versions as well as the original T-Qualizer sound-sensitive line.
