IGO-POST Celebrates 65th Anniversary

BURNTWOOD, England, Nov. 30, 2010 /PRNewswire/ --

IGO-POST, European market leader in the production and supply of promotional products, celebrates 65 years of trading this December and is inviting customers to join in the celebrations.

IGO-POST was founded in The Netherlands by Martien Jonkers in December 1945 and began selling imprinted pencils during the 1950's, after a visit by the founder to the USA. During the last 65 years the organisation has grown from a sole proprietorship into an international enterprise and now has a team of over 500 staff spanning 12 countries.

The company's base remains in The Netherlands and houses one of the largest printing facilities in the industry with more than forty specialist printing machines and a modern logistics centre spanning 12,000 msq.

Today, the company's product range still includes imprinted pencils, but these now sit alongside a collection of over 1,000 promotional giveaways, merchandise and business gifts. The latest collection also sees IGO-POST team-up with a number of leading brands, including Jamie Oliver, Mag-Lite, Cross, Papermate, Parker, Waterman, 3M, Samsonite, Senz and Victorinox.

To celebrate the company's landmark anniversary, IGO-POST Ltd is offering a special 10% anniversary discount on all UK orders throughout December 2010. Sam Davies, IGO-POST's UK general manager explained:

"This year marks a significant landmark for the organisation and we want to ensure that our customers are part of the celebrations. We have seen our UK business go from strength to strength and want to offer something back to our customers and prospects alike – we hope this discount will provide customers with an incentive to stock up on promotional merchandise for 2011, ahead of the VAT rise."

The anniversary discount recognises IGO-POST's continued commitment to rewarding customer loyalty. This year has also seen the launch of IGO-POINTS, a long-term loyalty programme where customers earn points to redeem against a wide range of gifts.

During its anniversary year, IGO-POST has distributed four publications, the latest is the company's 'Winter Collection 2010', which focuses on popular seasonal items including promotional umbrellas, outdoor clothing, mugs, soft toys, Christmas gifts, hampers, writing sets and diaries.

All items from the Winter Collection are available online alongside IGO-POST's full range of promotional products, including bestsellers such as printed pens, key-rings, bags and an extended range of multimedia items. Customers can generate quotes, request samples and place orders via the website.
