2012: Where’s it Gone?

The JFM team have been extra busy this year, helping many businesses join the online world, promote themselves at trade shows and raise brand awareness. In this newsletter we look back over 2012, highlight a few key projects and leave you with Christmas greetings from all of the team.

Bull Rush Chocolates have had a particularly special Christmas this year, with the launch of The Great Kiwiana Handmade Decadent Christmas Chocolate Box, proudly designed by JFM. We are happy to work with offshore partners to meet print requirements, create custom moulds and present with a top quality end product.

Top quality does not end with one product, it also ties in with continuity of brand, as illustrated by Quigley Contracting. In 2012 they have gone from strength to strength, streamlining their brand across machinery, print collateral, web and social media.  There’s hardly a person in Mid Canterbury who doesn’t recognise their trademark yellow and blue look.

Rosebank turns 20!

Rosebank 20th Birthday

Rosebank Resthome and Hospital recently celebrated their 20th birthday, and the occasion could not have been missed within Ashburton. Front page solus adverts in the Ashburton Guardian, a feature spread and complementary radio adverts helped to spread the milestone message loud and clear: after 20 years as a leading force in elderly care, the team are still going strong.

Rosebank put on a range of events for residents, families and current and past staff, including a morning tea and long service awards for employees marking 20, 15 and 10 years with Rosebank.  As well as creating a great atmosphere, the events also helped to raise the business profile, with long service awards making great news stories.

Does your business have a milestone event coming up? Whether it’s a birthday, significant anniversary of a partnership or a milestone for a long-serving staff member, celebrating with an event and letting the public know about your successes can go a long way towards raising your profile in a positive way. To find out more, or to discuss your own event, get in touch with the JFM team.



Online and On Track

Did you know that while 86% of the NZ population are active internet users, only 32% of NZ businesses have a website? Having a professionally presented online presence is a great way to boost sales and attract new customers with relatively little effort. If they can find you, they are far more likely to come and do business with you.

Facebook is another very valuable tool, with over half of NZ’s population active users of the social networking site. Details on JFM’s tailored Facebook 1 on 1 sessions are below, so this is the perfect time to take the plunge into the world of social media.
Read on to find out more about the businesses that have come online recently with help from JFM, including DNA HairdressingWalling Contracting and Bullrush Chocolate. Enjoy!

Getting Creative


Advertising is not only about print adverts and mail drops. Thinking out side the square can help to attract the attention of customers who are constantly bombarded with ads from all directions. Signwriting your trailer is a great way to promote your business whilst on the road, while creative giveaways that hang around the house keep your brand name in full view – think caps, pens, magnets and other daily items emblazoned with your logo. Such items can be used as thankyou gifts for loyal clients, as prizes in competitions or as a giveaway in store or at A&P shows.

To find out more, call JFM today on 03 308 6272.
