Great direct marketing, which is very rare, can make a £50,000 budget look like £500,000. Unfortunately, when you look at the poor work that seems to be around these days, clearly the reverse will be true.

What's more, it was in November.

Last month, you helped us to provide our largest single day in our 75 year history, with clients queuing from 3am to get in.

Thanks again Andy, looking forward to the second half of a record breaking year!

""Just a short note to say thanks for the "160 Hour Spectacular" letter and getting it together at such short notice.We've now got all the figures in and the results speak for themselves.

Last year for the weeks before and after the Bank Holiday we achieved a total of £312.7K plus Vat. This year we managed a simply sensational £585.2k plus VAT… an 87% increase! Comfortably beating my target of £425K and that was considered wildly optimistic by everyone here.

To achieve such an increase at any time is impressive but to do so when trade is as difficult as it has been this year is really something. Clearly we would like to think that all our promotional activity contributed to our success but we have no doubt that the most significant driving factor was the letter to our customers."
