The direct marketing industry met the 2009 recycling target agreed by the Government and the DMA and is even ahead of the goal for 2013, a new report has confirmed.
The report, released by the DMA and Royal Mail, revealed that 76.5 per cent of direct marketing material is now recycled – well ahead of the 2009 target of 55 per cent and beating the 2013 target of 70 per cent.
The Paton Brown Group is celebrating 50 years in the direct mail industry this year. Watch out for news on forthcoming celebratory events.
Postal Vote Solutions, part of the Paton Brown Group, is one of the UK’s leading suppliers of electoral material. As part of our presence at this year’s AEA 2010 National Conference at the Hilton Metropole Hotel in Blackpool, we were offering free consultations on a wide range of electoral solutions. Our stand attracted a large number of visitors and MD Ian Cooper said that as always the event, which is now in its 23rd year, provided a good opportunity to meet up with Electoral Officers and other Suppliers to discuss the services we provide in this sector.
We are happy to undertake a variety of work for Amaze Public Relations – including storing and dispatching stocks of Ricola Sweets. The Paton Brown Headquarters in Manchester was recently the backdrop for a very talented photographic shoot. As you can see from the shots our staff were only too pleased to act as extras - X Factor auditions could be on the agenda.
Press Release
X FACTOR CONTESTANTS IN FOR A SWEET TREAT
X Factor bosses have taken steps to help lubricate and sooth contestants’ vocal chords during the gruelling and intensive auditions by enlisting the help of Swiss herbal confectioners Ricola.
Ricola sweets have been sent over in the case load for the contestants and judges to enjoy in between auditions and live shows in the hope that there will not be a repeat of contestants like Dianna Vickers unable to perform due to hoarse and dry throats.
Apparently Simon Cowell’s protégé Paul Potts is already a big fan of the sweets. In an interview with German Journalist Gabriel Brönnimann Paul Potts reportedly said that his pockets are always full of Ricola sweets. (please see German article attached)
It is hoped that this year’s X Factor contestants will follow the singing legend’s lead and enjoy the soothing and refreshing properties of these great tasting sweets. Bursting with 13 Swiss herbs and boasting several sugar-free options, the secret formulation of Ricola Swiss Herb Drops offers a refreshing great taste that is sure to keep you calm – even in front of Simon Cowell.
Available in convenient click-shut boxes, tubes or handy bags, they are the ideal sweet treat and mouth freshener, whether you’re out and about, at home or in the office.
Ricola comes in the following fabulous flavours, Lemon Mint, Elderflower, Cranberry, Menthol and the Original Swiss variety and are available at all good confectioners, priced from 50p for a tube and £1.25 for a handy bag or carton.

Paton Brown MD, Ian Cooper has recently returned from a trip to South Africa with friends and their sons. The trip, which was 6 months in the planning, was to take some well earned time out for fathers and sons as well as to cheer on the Lions on their recent tour. Whilst the planning for the trip went without a hitch, Ian’s plans for a Lions white wash were not a roaring success.
Paton Brown are proud of their long association
with DMA North and are doubly proud to have been
chosen as the Print and Fulfilment partner for 2009.
Over recent years the internet has brought many positive effects to the marketing sector, especially with the growth in e-marketing. This growth has had quite a negative effect on responses through traditional Direct Mail. However recent research has shown that whilst e-marketing is an important factor in communicating marketing strategies, traditional Direct Mail responses are on the increase. This is mainly due to the wider creative opportunities that traditional Direct Mail can utilise to be more effective communicating a product or a services benefits.
