Posted in Uncategorized      Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

We’ve had some fun staff charity events over the last few months and have decided to put some of the proceeds towards brightening up the day of poorly Leicestershire children at local hospices and hospitals by donating Easter Eggs to the ‘Easter Egg Extravaganza Campaign’.

Stored in secret location with in MRM we have these fun Easter Eggs – We’ve had to keep their whereabouts a secret as chocolate doesn’t last long here!! Look at the fun creations we were able to track down.

Work Hard – Play Hard

Posted in MRM News      Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

At MRM we all enjoyed the bank holidays this year, especially the sunny ones at the start of May, but the three and four day weeks have  meant we have had to work extra hard to prepare for all of the new fulfilment, competition and direct mail campaigns we are supporting.  Over these exceptionally busy weeks we have also had a big increase in the number of clients using our contact centre and e-commerce services.

To reward our hard work we will be having an MRM staff night out tonight in Market Harborough, so keep an eye out for us if you are in the area – we will be the ones dressed incredibly well sipping tea in the corner of Enigma!

We will be back in the office on Monday morning bright eyed and bushy tailed!  If you want to call us to make sure, or if you have a campaign that you would like to discuss with us please contact us on 0844 99 12345.

Investors in People

What is IiP?

The Investors in People assessment is an organisational improvement tool to help businesses grow and develop. It is an internationally recognised and respected mark of good practice.

Why do we want it?

  1. To give our clients and prospects confidence in our company. That we operate to high standards which have been audited and approved by a recognised accreditation.
  2.  To ensure that we continue to develop and improve our business.

MRM have made a commitment to the IiP program and we have appointed a company to assess our business with the view to achieving accreditation. The assessor spent two days with us at the end of 2010 where he interviewed many people across the company in different departments.

He looked at the way in which MRM leads, manages and develops its people in line with the 10 IiP Key Indicators. We were delighted that we are already very close to achieving accreditation and a comprehensive report written by the assessor has meant that we have developed plans to address and eliminate the final few gaps. 

We are confident that we will achieve IiP accreditation at the next assessment at the end of Feb 2011.

If you would like to work with our team, please contact us about our award winning range of marketing services.

No, no, NO! We’ve eaten enough pork pie and Stilton (well this IS Leicestershire) for one year, and now it’s almost time to say hello to the next…

Promotional Handling – where your brand matters

Posted in Industry News      Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Promotional handling at MRM comes in many forms; from direct mail to consumers, warehousing and logistics of promotional items and sourcing of goods through to managing a distribution center for a sales promotion agency working on a major on pack promotion. Handling hundreds of sales promotion campaigns each year, MRM delivers multi channel fulfilment and logistics solutions to brands and agencies.

Each promotion in business is important in its own right – whether it requires promotional handling for B2C consumers or a brand’s B2B customers. The branding of product will usually involve a sales promotion agency working directly with a brand whilst the promotional handling house such as MRM will be contracted directly with the brand in many instances to provide control and ensure agreed standards in customer handling are maintained.

Promotional handling is a skilled market sector in its own right; it requires direct marketing experience and knowledge of brand guidelines to manage customer expectations whilst delivering a cost effective solution. If you have an outsourcing requirement for 2011, you should be talking to MRM now to seee how we can provide fulfillment management services for your promotional handling needs.
