What we did expect was PromoPower to be a roaring success! With over 40 years of experience in the Field Marketing and Brand Experience industry, we know what works.

That’s why we think the turning of a decade seems as good a time as any to assess your ‘Field Marketing’ strategy, so we decided to create a spectacular new website to show off what PromoPower can really do for you and your business.

PromoPower are leaving the recession behind in 2009, in fact, we’re anticipating green shoots in early 2010.  Falling in second place for growth revenue in the ‘Experiential Marketing League Tables 2009’, PromoPower have seen a massive revenue increase of 117% and we’re confident that we can only improve from here.

Whether you, or one of your clients, want to consider a detailed Field Marketing proposal or just a free chat over a cup of coffee, we look forward to hearing from you about your business plans for the future.

We would like to thank all of clients for their custom in 2009 and wish them, and our other business friends, a Happy New Year and hope 2010 brings each of you great health, happiness and prosperity!

Therefore, we would like to take this opportunity to say a really BIG thank you to all of our clients for their continued support!!!

What a great start to the year it is for her.

Keep it up Bev!!!!

We have been working with Beauflor now since 2007 and as well as implementing stands and POS we also manage the database, deliveries and logistics of the merchandise at over 1,000 retailers nationwide.

We are very pleased to have such a prestigious client as Beauflor!!!!

We have created relationships and partnerships with several world wide companies that have provided business opportunities for PromoPower in the UK.

PromoPower provides practical Field Marketing assistance to international companies to bring high quality investment to the UK’s economy, and help in establishing and expanding their business in the UK.

Our global network includes companies that include Eolas International and Conceito Brazil.

We can design, build and install mobile event trailers and exhibition stands of any size.

Logistics and management is also a specialty!

We have two new employees firstly Beverley Bury, taking the position of Administrator for PromoPower and Jessica Smith the new Account Executive both of whom are on permanent full time contracts.

Beverley joined PromoPower in January 2008 to continue and develop her career in Business Administration; once Beverley has settled in she will continue her skills with a NVQ in business administration level 2 qualification.

The opportunity for PromoPower to appoint a new Account Executive from a competitor agency came when Jessica relocated to Nottingham for personal reasons. We are looking forward to Jessica bringing fresh ideas to the company.

We have just won our 100th client, how time flies, it seams like just yesterday when we won our first client but in fact it was over three years ago now.

Our 100th client is Hallmark Cards, we have been appointed to audit, merchandise and increase sales of the Wellington Bear range in the run up to Christmas, this a nationally activity over an eight week period.

Our in-store sales staff were a huge success, they helped build a relationship between Wellington Bear and the customers and increased sales in some stores by a massive 700%!!!

What great staff!!!

The staff worked extremely hard to communicate the message to spectators arriving at Wimbledon and encouraged them to take one of the A4 cards in with them to hold up whilst watching the game. The double sided poster consisted of Homer Simpson on one side saying D’oh! and the other Woo Hoo!

The atmosphere was fantastic and was received with open arms from the general public. Sadly the security staff were not so happy and tried to confiscate the posters from spectators before entry. However this did not alter the fact that we still managed to get spectators inside with the posters and all attending Wimbledon over the few days were very aware of the film and our presence.

Although some articles that were written implied that the activity did not succeed in actual fact it was a huge success!

Cartoon capers

Homer Simpson has been banned from Wimbledon. Security guards from every gate helped capture him. What self-inflicted catastrophe had he caused? Ambush marketing, as a poster was distributed outside the gates to promote the new Simpsons movie. Can this be true? D’oh! said a club spokesman.

Homer ambush fails

A marketing stunt intended to publicise the forthcoming Simpsons movie foundered at Wimbledon yesterday when security guards were ordered to confiscate A4 cards featuring Homer Simpson that were handed to spectators at the gates. The stewards in SW19 are as familiar with ambush marketing tactics as they are with the latest security threats, and the operation never had a chance of success.

Wimbledon Bans Homer Simpson

By Larry Brown | July 6, 2007
Posted in Category: Tennis

Ben Maller had one of those great notes from his rumors page on Foxsports.com. The headline pretty much says it all. Taking it straight from The Suns Wimbledon diary:

HOMER SIMPSON has been barred from the All England Club. Fans outside were given posters advertising the new Simpsons movie but had them binned by security guards as it was ‘aggressive marketing’.

Come on lads, in the spirit of fun, you are shutting down the Simpsons? If the fans had come with sixers of Duffs for all would that have at least changed things? I would think so. First you had a chick get busted for wearing the wrong color underwear, now this. Those Wimbledon chaps need to lighten up a bit.

Homer Simpson Is Not Welcome At Wimbledon

If there is one thing the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club will not stand for it’s ‘aggressive marketing’. Red underpants are okay though.

From the Sun:

HOMER SIMPSON has been barred from the All England Club. Fans outside were given posters advertising the new Simpsons movie but had them binned by security guards as it was ‘aggressive marketing’.
And here I thought they might just turn their clubhouse into a Kwik-E-Mart.

Also, I looked up the word binned and this is all I found:
binned – Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :

Bin \Bin\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Binned; p. pr. & vb. n. Binning.]
To put into a bin; as, to bin wine.
[1913 Webster]
So I guess they put all the posters in a bin … or something … freakin’ Brits, speak English!

Many months of research and hard work have gone into this project, but it’s now paying off, our fabulous new front end website is live and we are over the moon!!!!

Our new system will add much more value to our clients’ activities… so a very BIG thank you to everyone who has been involved!
