So here we are in January 2013 and what a fantastic year 2012 was for Essential Print Services and local businesses, alike!

At the end of 2012 we were pleased to be approached by the Business Correspondent at the Derby Telegraph, Oliver Astley, to contribute a business prediction for 2013 for the newspaper’s annual review in the Business Weekly section and even more pleased that it was published.

Our business prediction was in good company – we were proud to see a lot of large companies in Derby had contributed, including some of our clients, colleagues and friends.

Here’s what we wrote:

“Following continued growth in 2012 with a larger office and more staff, the year ahead sees more exciting expansion plans for Essential Print Services. Despite the digital revolution, paper as a medium is continuing to be an effective and sought after call to action. Royal Mail and PPA ,respectively, state that 48% of UK adults have done something in the last 12 months as a result of a printed piece of direct mail, with 23% consumers purchasing a product after being exposed to magazine print advertising. We are pleased and encouraged by these figures and look forward to a fantastic 2013.”

What would your business prediction be for 2013?

We hope you are excited as we are about what this year has in store.
