Start Smart for the New Year.

It’s been a busy year and now it’s time to relax a little before coming back to the new year. We’ve looked into how you can best set yourself up to return refreshed in 2020 and ease into the year. We also checked in with our Print and Marketing Services expert Jacqueline Murphy on how you can make next year even more special for your employees, customers and leaders within your organisation.

First, take a minute to reflect

What worked well this year and what things could be improved or done more efficiently? If you work very closely with your leader, you’re probably receiving regular feedback about how you are doing, however, the end of the year is always a good time to check in and identify areas for improvement so you can hit the ground running in the new year.

Start the preparation now

By now, some 2020 strategic planning for customer, stakeholder or employee events may have already taken place. Maybe you start the year with a kick-off, conference or workshop. Perhaps you’re responsible for organising celebrations around Chinese New Year, International Women’s Day or Harmony Day. Promotional items and giveaways often have lead times, so if you’re looking for something special to give your people or customers, our Print and Marketing Services team can help by developing a calendar of events and working through a checklist of requirements. Jacqueline Murphy, National Operations Manager of Winc Print and Marketing Services, says that anything is possible when you know your budget.

“We work with all kinds of events and budgets, everything is customisable - it’s a matter of working out what you would like to achieve and then our job is to bring that to life in the best way possible.”

Welcome people back to work

Kick start the year with something special for your employees. This could be a gift box with your company brand, vision and values printed on it with a personal message inside or something the team could wear or use. This is a great way to not only create a sense of belonging but reward and inspire the team.

Jacqueline Murphy says that her team often works with customers to create special experiences for their employees. “It could be something as simple as a thank you card, however, we regularly do branded gift boxes and hampers too. We also help customers create certificates or cards to keep on hand, so that they’re always prepared.”

Make a change

The start of a new year is a great time to inspire the team to do things differently or to make better choices – for the company and the environment. Sustainable products and using resources efficiently continue to be a significant trend, and if you haven’t already, now’s a good time make some changes to your environmental footprint.
