Wild Thang Team’s Annual Christmas Jumper Day !

Last Friday, Wild Thang celebrated our annual Christmas Jumper Day with the team, this is our opportunity to get into the festive spirit and say a big, big thank you to the whole Wild Thang team for their commitment and dedication in helping us achieve so much in 2022, even with the financial challenges we have continued to make fantastic progress as a team and company, our Liverpool Chamber of Commerce Business Of The Year Award really did top it off.

Wild Thang team getting into the festive spirit

Our fun filled day included a raffle, best Christmas Jumper competition, and surprise treats for the whole team including incredibly tasty pies from Home Baked Bakery which is a Community Owned Bakery in Anfield, Liverpool #MoreThanAPie, a festive mince pie from Costa Coffee and as we are merchandise experts, we also provided a high quality personalised mug as our festive gift for every staff member.   

 

Wild Thang team enjoyed the gift of giving back & some festive treats 

Christmas is the time when we can all make a difference which is why this year for our festive themed Christmas Jumper Day, we raised money for the John Haynes Foundation which is very close to Wild Thang’s heart, with our team having known John before his passing both personally and professionally.

The Foundation itself is focused on delivering professional coaching and mentoring, helping individuals build resilience so they can realise their own potential and ‘Fly With The Eagles’. Our raffle and best Chrimbo Jumper competition raised a total of £400, we’d like to thank our generous staff for contributing and helping make these donations possible, you’re the best.

Our final little bit of Christmas cheer was to encourage our team to donate food items to help those less fortunate so this year we deliver to the St Vincent De Paul Church Food Bank just before we finish for our festive shutdown.

A very Merry Christmas to everyone who has supported Wild Thang in 2022 

Big thank you to everyone who has supported Wild Thang over the past year, wishing all our Clients, Suppliers, Colleagues, Family and Friends a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the whole team.

Well done to all the staff that got involved and supported our go green for The Clatterbridge Cancer Charity day.

The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre is one of the largest networked cancer centers in the UK.

Heartfelt thank you from Wild Thang  to everyone who has purchased an NHS t-shirt !
Heartfelt thank you from Wild Thang to everyone who has purchased an NHS t-shirt !

Big thank you to everyone who has made sure those NHS heroes know They’ll Never Walk Alone by purchasing a t-shirt over the past few weeks.

Just so you know the impact you have been making by purchasing a t-shirt we have put together an info graphic, which was designed by our very talented studio.

We have been overwhelmed by the positive feedback with lots of people posting photo’s which really has made us feel incredibly proud as a team, and really makes us feel that our efforts to make a difference are worthwhile. Sharing our message across social media was the real aim and that has been achieved with tens of thousands of social media interactions.

As you know our first order to be dispatched was a very special delivery to 100-year-old Captain Tom Moore as a birthday treat, what an incredible hero that has captured the nation’s hearts with his fundraising for the NHS.

We have even had a few high profile t-shirt purchases, from the amazing comedian Johnny Vegas, who has been on tour around the hospitals in the North West giving his time up selflessly for those NHS Heroes, and many thanks to the very talented Celebrity Chef from Sunday Brunch on Channel 4, Simon Rimmer.

But the highlight for the week was from Ellie Orton, CEO of NHS Charities Together who commented “Well done for all the support you are giving to NHS charities this is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing with us, we really appreciate it. Thank you so much for your support to NHSCT and our members. I love the videos and selfies they are great.”

We have had orders from across the UK and Internationally so we’re happy to report we have sold over 370 t-shirt’s over the past few weeks.

Don’t forget every t-shirt purchased we are donating 50% to NHS Charities or a t-shirt to an NHS hero in their fight against the virus, to let those heroes get the message loud and clear, whilst also importantly promoting social distancing.

Like many businesses in the UK it’s a worrying time, our sales have understandably slowed since lockdown so initiatives like this even in a small way will also help Wild Thang to reintroduce staff when the UK starts to return to normality, we cannot wait to be back up to full strength and doing what we do best, which as a company is to try and make a difference to those around us, it’s part of our ethos, and as we say - ‘It’s the Wild Thang Way!’.

Together we can all make a difference T-shirts still available over on the Wild Thang Shop

What a fantastic week one!

Big thank you to everyone who has made sure those NHS Heroes Know They Will Never Walk Alone by purchasing a t-shirt this past week.

The first orders for our t-shirts have been delivered over the past week and we have been overwhelmed by the positive feedback.

Lots of people have been posting photo’s which has got us all a bit emotional at Wild Thang & really makes us feel our efforts are worthwhile & are making a difference. More amazing images to follow and thank you so much to everyone who is supporting and letting those NHS Heroes know they Will Never Walk Alone #NHSwillneverwalkalone

Our first order to be dispatched as a very special delivery was of course heading to 99-year-old Captain Tom Moore, who has captured the nation’s hearts with his fundraising for the NHS.

 

We have had orders from around the UK but also got our first international order which is heading over to Sweden. Happy to report that positive momentum seems to be building, having sold just under over 200 t-shirt’s in the first 7 days which is a great start.

 

Hopefully this is just the start so it’s critical for everyone to continue spreading the word that our NHS Heroes will never walk alone.

Remember Wild Thang wanted to make a difference to help let them heroes know they will never walk alone whilst also promoting social distancing.

 

For every t-shirt purchased we will donate 50% to NHS Charities Charity No 1186569 OR a t-shirt to an NHS hero in their fight against the virus.

Like many businesses in the UK it’s a worrying time, our sales have understandably slowed down considerably since lockdown so initiatives like this even in a small way will also help Wild Thang to reintroduce staff when the UK starts to return to normality, we cannot wait to be back up to full strength and doing what we do best, which as a company is to try and make a difference to those around us, it’s part of our ethos, and as we say -

 

‘It’s the Wild Thang Way!’

Wild Thangs t-shirt range lets our NHS heroes know they will never walk alone in the fight against Covid-19!!
Wild Thangs t-shirt range lets our NHS heroes know they will never walk alone in the fight against Covid-19!!

Wild Thang wanted to make a difference, so for each t-shirt purchased we have committed to donate 50% of the purchase price to NHS charities Charity No 1186569 , or send a t-shirt to NHS staff on the front line of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The initial idea for the NHS themed t-shirts came about after we created social distancing t-shirts as our last job before lockdown for our amazing team before some started working remotely.

 

The feedback from our friends and family was awesome and they loved the design, but still we wanted to do more, so we donated 28 sacks of garments for NHS workers over at Clatterbridge Hospital on the Wirral, we then also printed some cotton shopper bags for amazing Liverpool Women’s Hospital staff, all linked to helping in the fight against corona virus.

This got the team thinking, how else can we make a difference? We came up with the idea to produce a range of t-shirts so those NHS heroes really know they will never walk alone, and we can continue to raise awareness/make a difference in the fight against Covid-19, one t-shirt at a time!

Our creative team developed some awesome designs, we asked the public to vote for their favorites and they are now available in all their glory on the Wild Thang shop!

Please remember, if you do make a purchase you will not only be helping the NHS, you will also be helping Wild Thang in a small way to reintroduce staff as the UK starts to return to normality.

Liver Bird’s  MERCHANDISE IN ACTION
Liver Bird’s MERCHANDISE IN ACTION

We simply love it when people share their great branded merchandise in action on social media especially when the photograph really pops. Wild Thang think this is a great example of how branded merchandise is creating the best possible exposure and helping them stand out from the crowd by raising brand awareness through a coordinated physical branding approach. This was actually a charity midnight walk aptly named the ‘Liver Bird’s Midnight Walk’ for the Roy Castle Foundation with every participant receiving a t-shirt & can anyone spot the great branded curved frame exhibition backdrop.

Never underestimate the power of the photograph to capture the moment of any campaign, event or product & deliver real impact, think PR exposure, think the endless social media sharing on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook & Snapchat. We know that its critical for any charity organisation to raise awareness to help drive exposure that will hopefully then in turn create that end donation.

We hope this gives you a little inspiration to create some world class merchandise for yourself and really help your brand, company or organization stand out from the crowd. Please remember we are here to help with expert branded clothing, merchandise and print advice! Why not check out the extensive range of products & services that can help you get the best possible ROI.
