Creating free PR

Marketing companies tell us that there is a huge amount that can be gained using free PR, but thinking of ways to get PR can be difficult, looking at what other people have done can help.

A company in Australia offered to fill any receptacle with milkshake and resulted in pictures in the papers of people filling wellington boots.

Shakeaway offered competitions to win extreme sports vouchers in a joint venture, and last week a company in America launched a limited offer for bacon flavoured milkshakes, the milkshake is created using bacon flavouring , this has gone almost viral with 100’s of papers and even UK papers have picked up the story, and online blogs picking up the story, an example of one of the newspapers can be found at http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2099163/Jack-Box-serves-bacon-milkshake-1-081-calories.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

The Paper Cup Company Expands into Larger Purpose Built Offices

The Paper Cup Company’s European Sales Office has moved to much larger premises to accommodate the rapidly expanding work force.new offices

The Mayor and Mayoress of the Ribble Valley attended the Grand Opening, held at the premises in Clitheroe on Friday 20th January at 12pm. Around 25 local dignitaries attended the Champagne Reception.  The new offices have been purpose built and ajoin the company’s warehouse on Unit 2 Mearley Brook Commercial Centre, Salthill Industrial Estate, Clitheroe.

The company was founded in 2005 by Mark Woodward, who set up his own business from his front room after he was made redundant. The company has grown despite the tough trading conditions, and it is continuing to expand year on year. In the last few months alone, 4 members of staff have been taken on full time. The Paper Cup Company has moved to these new premises to allow further expansion.  In the next 12 months the company expects to employ a further 8 members of staff to deal with the increase in business.  

Mark Woodward European Sales Director said, “Even during hard times, the general public need a treat, and a Cappuccino, milkshake or smoothie fills that requirement. The market for paper cups to package these products is growing at an incredible rate. We needed to move to new premises to allow us to employ staff to provide the continual top quality service to customers and partners in the market. These new facilities will give us room for growth over the next few years”.

The Paper Cup Company prints and distributes disposable paper cups across Europe and around the world for industries such as coffee to go, cold drinks, events,  vending, sampling and retail use. In addition to the Clitheroe office, the Paper Cup Company has a European distribution centre in Lancashire, and boasts a network of distributors across Europe and the World.

The Paper Cup Company picks up a Green Apple Award

Green Apple Award

Green Apple Award

The Paper Cup Company are the only paper cup manufacturer to offer a United Nations Environment Programme recognised scheme (Green Earth Appeal). A list of recognised members can be seen on the UNEP’s website.

Representatives from The Paper Cup Company went to the House of Commons on the 14th November 2011, to collect their Green Apple Environment Award. They picked up a silver award in the packaging section.  The Green Apple Award scheme is a national campaign to find Britain’s greenest companies, councils and communities. The Paper Cup Company competed against 500 other nominations.

Victoria Lotha, Marketing Manager, accompanied Sarah Woodward, UK Print Manager, to collect the award. Sarah said “I am honoured to collect this award on behalf of The Paper Cup Company, but I would like to thank all the customers that have contributed to the scheme. I would also like to thank Marvin Baker at Green Earth Appeal for arranging the trees to be planted in Haiti. It is a real honour to work with them”.
The Paper Cup Company is the first company in the world to enable customers to offset the carbon footprint of paper cups by working with Green Earth Appeal. For just 99p per 1000 cups, Green Earth Appeal will plant a tree which will replace the paper used in the manufacturing of the paper cups and will offset the carbon footprint of manufacturing and transporting the cups. Currently, trees are being planted in Haiti to provide a sustainable source of food for themselves and their livestock, educate farmers and communities about agroforestry and help stop desertification.

The Paper Cup Company’s customers have planted over 750 trees since entering the scheme earlier this year.

If you would like further information on making 1000+ printed paper cups carbon neutral for just 99 pence, please email sarah@tpcc.co or call 01200 449902.
