Back in February, LDS celebrated its fifteenth anniversary. Much has changed (for the better) since they first started out, but the Company has never taken its success for granted and has always been keen to listen to its client's suggestions and requests.
Back in 1992, when Diana and Paula Bardell-Hedley set up the business with a single (ex GPO) van, an Amstrad and a small back-room office in Llandudno, there were few options open to local tourism operators when it came to leaflet distribution. Many attractions, events and establishments produced promotional print, but more often than not, hoteliers complained about the sheer volume of people leaving unwieldy quantities of literature on their doorsteps, in their hallways and stuffed through their letterboxes. Indeed, they were only too delighted when LDS arrived on the scene.
LDS was first to offer complimentary free-standing and wall-mounted leaflet holders to local hotels, camp sites, attractions and other busy establishments;
They now offer their clients exclusive display in many high footfall establishments and we continue to come up with a variety of fresh and innovative marketing ideas every year. In 2008, they will be introducing a number of exciting new services. Watch their blog for further details.
So why the blog? Well, according to Director of Research and Marketing, Paula Bardell-Hedley, “it's an excellent way for us to keep in touch with our clients and business associates on a regular basis. Here we can chat informally about the day-to-day running of LDS and share information about new projects, in the hope that we will receive comments and feedback from everyone and anyone - but especially from our existing customers.”
Do nip in to see them whenever you have time, and be sure to share your thoughts and opinions regarding promotional literature and the tourist industry in general.
