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

As London Fashion Week marks the end of summer we thought it was time to add a little sparkle and sunshine to MRM by holding the Summer R2: Recognise and Reward Awards Presentation.

There were lots of nominations for employees who had demonstrated outstanding service, dedication and solution creativity.

The lucky winners this month were from our B2B, IT and project team.  The winners hot trotted down our awards catwalk (A.K.A the edge of the contact centre) to receive their prizes and get ‘papped’ for the MRM reception winners’ board.

If you would like to discuss your promotions with our fabulous team please contact us on 0844 99 12345.

MRM romp home at the COGS Awards

I must confess to feeling a little hungover today…the reason for this? We were out yesterday at the Institute of Promotional Marketing’s inaugural COGS Awards – designed to recognise suppliers in the marketing services industry.

fulfilment!

Thanks to our wonderful clients, and a rather cheeky email request to vote for us – we walked (or rather staggered) away with first place for Fulfilment and second place for Handling.

To top it all, Marion Seeney was awarded third place for the Individual of the Year!

What better recognition and thanks could we ask for from our clients?! Thanks so much to everyone who voted for us – we had such a great day.

Coupons for Cash Losses

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

The ISP is taking legal advice against retailers that repeatedly redeem coupons from consumers who have not bought the product. The ISP is collecting examples of coupon misuse and will be taking advice from lawyers to establish whether retailers can be taken to court for allowing or even encouraging coupon misuse. They also need to know whether they could force retailers to only accept coupons redeemed against the manufacturer’s product.

Peter Kerr, who is the MD of MRM and Chairman of the ISP’s coupon committee, has said that he has recently dealt with 15 cases where individual stores had tried to claim back a higher value of coupons than the total value of product sales.
