This year our ever popular Graphic Heart has been our best selling Valentine card from our Love Collection.
Simple, classic, stylish – with a touch of nostalgia about it. It says it all.
Here’s hoping it brought a smile to more than a few faces around the country.
Happy Valentines’ Day!
Below is a recent article in Stationery Magazine quoting predictions from Dipingo Design for trends for 2012.
Progressive Greetings – the bible for the trade – asked Lianne what advice she would give to her younger self…..this is her response in February’s edition which is out now
Well the Top Drawer Show went very well again for us and we took lots of very nice orders. So thank you to everyone that came to see us and a special thanks to everyone who placed orders with us.
We are busy processing those orders and following up on other leads that were generated at the show.
So too busy to write much here now but thought we should post a picture of our bigger and better stand as promised.
Last year we had the tiniest stand in the whole show so we had to go for a minimalist look in order to give the illusion of space as well as leaving floor space so potential customers could actually get in the stand to view the designs. Well the plan worked well and we had lots of good feedback about the design of the stand and its “art gallery feel” that we have decided to repeat the format even though this year we have a bigger and better stand. So there will be room for browsers and shoppers alike. Come on down and see us.
Below is an image of last year’s stand, small but perfectly formed!
Some more New Year good news. After such a successful time at our first ever appearance at Top Drawer last year, it is brilliant to find out that once again Dipingo’s products will star in the 2012 Top Drawer Features – in this case images from our soon to be launched Silhouette Colour Collection. Obviously it is great to get recognition within the industry, but perhaps more importantly we hope that this will expose our cards to more and more potential customers. Top Drawer last year was a massively important step forward for our business. We met so many great contacts, secured some excellent orders and received lots of exposure that really helped the business last year. Here’s hoping next week’s show will be even better. Bring it on Earl’s Court!
Once again one of our new collections has been featured in the Progressive Greetings Magazine – the bible for the trade.
We will be launching these designs at Top Drawer very soon but the cards can already be viewed on line at our website.
Happy New Year to all our readers! Let’s hope 2012 will be a good one for everyone. Our first blog of the year is to announce that we have signed up with the licensing agents Advocate Art who will be promoting our designs to their portfolio of clients. All advocates images are shown under the name of the artist or photographer so to find the Dipingo images you will have to search their database under Katy Donaldson who is one half of Dipingo Design.To check out their website follow this link http://www.advocate-art.com/artistfolio/
Trend Bible – the people with their finger on the design pulse – will be using one of our designs in their Trend feature for Top Drawer in January.
We are chuffed to have been chosen for this as Trend Bible are well respected arbiters of all things stylish.
Here is the image they have selected.
Last year was our first outing at Top Drawer at Earls Court London, and it was a great success for us. This year we are returning with a bigger and better stand. So right now the Dipingo head office is a whirlwind of brochures, new collection displays and general preparation as we get ourselves organised.
At Top Drawer in January 2012 we will be launching several new collections including The Wedding Collection,
See below for a peek at one of our images shot in the beautiful Kent countryside….
