Sharing 2007

This issue of SIMPLICITY 3 is packed with exciting things we want to tell you about. Firstly, we would like to wish all our valued clients the very best wishes for the upcoming Chinese New Year holiday. We hope the"Year of the Pig" brings you all the very best in life and in your work. Throughout the past year Birds & Fish has gone from strength to strength – but we couldn't have done it without your wonderful support. Thanks!

Secondly we would like to announce that"sharing" will be our newsletter keyword for 2007. In additional to showcasing our recent works and B&F news, the newsletter will become a platform for us to share our knowledge and skills in design, printing and corporate gifts. We hope the newsletter can be a communications tool between B&F and its friends and clients. In this issue, we offer some of our ideas about promotion gifts, which is our newest business line. Hope you find the tips helpful.

Thirdly, we are very happy to launch our gift website at www.morethanfits.net. It is devoted to offering a quality service in corporate and promotional gifts. Please check the following content for details.

This issue we also have something special for you. The Birds & Fish Shanghai team recently spent several weeks in Vietnam and Cambodia. To share this amazing travel experience, and to create a special limited edition gift for you, we have produced a set of postcards illustrating the journey with vibrant photography. We would like to send out 50 sets of the postcards to our friends and clients as a special New Year Gift.

If you would like to receive this lovely package of images，please send an email to weare@birdsandfish.net with Postcards as the Subject and your mailing address in the content of the email. The first 50 applicants will receive a free pack of postcards.

It's a season for gifts

How can promotional gifts work for you?

What is a gift?
Something to help deliver your emotions! Does that definition work for companies? Yes! We all know that sometimes give-aways are just too boring to help your promotion and your budget is wasted?

Let’s go through some principles for choosing promotion gifts:
Budget
Maybe this is the most important factor for you in making a decision. Do not be afraid to give your budget to your supplier. A good supplier will give you choices with best quality and price ratio.

Subject
How do I make a good choice? The gift range is so big. Every season, every month, every festival and every occasion may have its own special choices. We can help you select what is best for you.

Time Limit
There is a simple rule for gift production. The more time you give to the production, the better quality you can expect and the less the gifts ultimately cost you.

Whether you are looking for exhibition giveaways, conference souvenirs, or memorable items for company events, we've got what you need. Drawing on our design expertise, we are able to brand your gifts appropriately, and get your message across to your clients, business partners and your own staff. What we offer is more than gifts - they are strong communication tools for your products and services.
