Spring 2020 - Newsletter

Dear Member

Welcome to our first Newsletter of 2020.

We have a few new items plus some exciting news about the new website and packaging

Craft Bits New Items

The following items have been put online in the last couple of months.

Keep an eye on our Customer Forum for details of new items - we always post on there soon after they go online.

Dawn in the warehouse got a Nudinits Knitting Book for Xmas this year which use Polystyrene Balls and Eggs to fill them instead of stuffing - so we got some in stock for her and anyone else who fancies giving them a go. Never heard of Nudinits? Well they have been around for quite a few years, they have a few YouTube clips where the dolls and their surroundings are all knitted. They are quite "adult" so suggest you don't show the kids, but if you don't mind a double-entendre then why not take a look. Just search for Nudinits

Christmas Craft Pack Includes foam pieces, stems, sequins, buttons & pompoms. Use for whatever Christmas Craft you wish. Age 3 and over

Peel & Stick Joggle Eyes New Size 6mm Plain 150 eyes per pack Remember these eyes are NOT for toys but they are perfect for Cards and other crafts which will not get in the hands of under 3's.

new website

In our last newsletter all the links went to our temporary new website on cpu-enterprises.com while we got ready to go live on craftbits.co.uk.

We are very please to announce that a couple of weeks ago our new website was uploaded and is fully working. The temporary website has been removed but any link you have to that site will automatically go to the new website.

We would love some feedback on the new website which is called a "responsive design" meaning it adapts to the size of your screen. So whether you view on Mobile, Tablet or Desk-Top, you should be able to read the text well and have large enough clickable areas.

You can feedback by email, Twitter, Facebook or a special section on our Customer Forum.

packaging

We visited the Spring Fair at NEC in February, this is a massive trade fair taking up 14 halls and is so large we didn't get to see it all.

We knew there would be none of our suppliers attending, but we wanted to see what the trends were and to see if we could find else anything interesting.

What we did find was a very small stand about Packaging. What excites us about them is that their Mail Bags are made from 100% recycled material AND they are also 100% recyclable. We have a few samples which we will be using on parcels to a few regular customers to see what they think. If you would like to be included please let us know.

We are also talking to them about other things we use a lot of - bubble wrap, grip seal bags and tape - they hope to have more sustainable products in the near future.

They do cost a little more than regular bags but we think they will be worth it. Please let us know what you think about all this. Will you recycle them? Would you be willing to pay more on P+P to help cover the cost? Or do you reuse the packaging we send already?

Craft Bits also have various Social Media accounts as shown in the circular icons below. If you do not belong to any of these you can still contact us by email or via our Customer Forum.

Best Regards
