LOOKING BACK ON A 'WILD' 2019
LOOKING BACK ON A 'WILD' 2019

It’s been one of the most exciting and challenging years in Wild Thang’s 23 years in business and we are more excited than ever to get our exciting redevelopment completed so we can really do our Thang and shoot for the stars!

You may know us for just printing t-shirts, or just supplying branded pens, but hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised about what we have been up to over the past 12 months and get a much better understanding of the truly extensive range of world class products and services we provide.

 

It’s been a Wild 2019

January was an incredibly exciting moment, after 4 years of hard work and preparation we were finally granted planning permission to redevelop the premises.

 

February and our development was competitively tendered and we were chuffed that local Liverpool company Frank Rogers were successful to create a trio of local companies involved in our exciting new development.

 

March gave us the opportunity to produce the official merchandise for the Liver Building 360 tour, Liverpool’s newest and most innovative attraction!

April was immense, whilst we attended the World Famous Grand National at Aintree Racecourse we spotted the playing cards we had produced for the Jockey Club in the hospitality lounges.

May was the month that we finally broke ground on the development, a momentous moment for sure, it was fantastic, and with much relief to finally get the build underway.

June allowed us to put the final touches to Liverpool Football Clubs 1st team player’s jerseys and training kit with the embroidery to commemorate the Champions League Final in Madrid, we are proud to be an official branding partner for one of the greatest football clubs in the world.

July and the development is making exciting progress with the steel frame and cladding being completed, so really starting to become a reality that all the effort and planning made with the very talented K2 Architects, to create a development that had integrity to add something dynamic to the city scape was finally paying off.

August, wow we are very proud to be voted as one of the top merchandise and corporate gift distributors in the UK, and the only representative based in the Liverpool City Region for 2018.

 

September seen the launch of the medal muddle initiative with our friends at BTR. CSR is at the heart of Wild Thang as a company, so we were proud to make an effort to not only help raise much needed money for local charities, but in turn upcycling products to minimise waste. 

October and Salford Red Devils reach the Rugby League Grand Final at Old Trafford, against all the odds, we were incredibly proud and privileged to be part of their journey this year as their Official Branding, Merchandise and Retail Partner following the commencement of a 3 year deal with our friends at Kappa UK.

November - I’m a celebrity, get me out of here! In every jungle there has to be a Wild Thang and that just happened to be us! Producing the Official Merchandise for one of the biggest programs on TV.

December and its time to have yourself a merry eco Christmas. This year we wanted to highlight a number of innovative products that are all about sustainability, reusability and recyclability, which included a straw for life, collapsible reusable coffee cup and a draw string tote bag, made in part of recycled cotton blend and plastic bottles! If you has been a good boy or girl this year you may even receive one of our Wild Thang branded, eco orientated, corporate merchandise gifts!

Topping off an incredible 2019, and something huge for us to celebrate is our new building officially becoming water tight, so we can starting planning the interior design, new office layouts and the official launch in March, so watch this space...

 

We have come a long way since that £1500 Princes Trust loan 23 years ago, so we are more excited about the future than ever before and what we can achieve as a team in 2020. When the team works the dream works, so we would like to wholeheartedly thank and wish all of our amazing team, clients and friends a very merry and Wild Christmas, this New Year don’t worry about a Thang, so we can make it a very prosperous 2020 together.

WILD THANG BRANDING GEEK THE PEN IS STILL MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD !
WILD THANG BRANDING GEEK THE PEN IS STILL MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD !

We love pens & we love this amazing piece of artwork which was produced using a Bic pen & you still have to believe the pen is still mightier than the sword. It is a simple fact that writing instruments are still top of the tops & did you know the first patent on a ballpoint pen was issued on 30 Oct 1888, to John Loud (leather tanner)

Pens to this day are still a marketing must and all market research still ranks them highly in terms of quantities produced & usage, psst it’s in the billions. Research still shows that the printed pen is still king in terms of brand carrying merchandise for numbers produced throughout the industry, as a company we have a vast range to suit every budget & campaign from a promo promotional item giveaway to something more quality such as Cross, Parker, Sheaffer for the corporate merchandise VIP gift market.

My advice to you is to think carefully who will be receiving the branded, printed, engraved pen and choose an appropriate quality for that market audience. Please remember we are here to help with expert creative branded clothing, merchandise & print advice :-) We have an amazing range of pens to view on our website including Bic pens of course

Wild Thang Branding Geek The Polo Shirt a very very short history!
Wild Thang Branding Geek The Polo Shirt a very very short history!

We love sharing random and interesting facts about products we supply. This week we are focusing on the garment that everyone probably has in their wardrobe. Did you know that history states the original sport of Polo originated in India and was then taken up in England by returning soldiers. The Polo playing shirt used to be a long sleeved shirt & was the first collared garment to have a buttoned-down collar, which polo players invented in the late 19th century to keep their collars from flapping in the wind. Brooks Brothers's early president, John Brooks, noticed this while at a polo match in England and began producing such a shirt in 1896.

They have obviously since lost their button down collar & gained a buttoned placket but none of their popularity as a sports and casual leisure or uniform garment essential with Ralph Lauren’s iconic polo shirt probably taking the top spot in popularity, linking the original history with its modern day equivalent. Finally when it comes to the important logo or brand aspect did you know the reason why branding is virtually always on the left chest of a garment? It’s so when people shake hands the #branding is still on show, because if it was on the right side it would be hidden. It’s also great that this sport has opened up the doors to every gender so we thought we would feature some younger female polo players that are just as tough as their male counterparts.

We have a great range of polo shirts both female and male available in many different qualities, styles, material and sizes, all of which can be printed or embroidered. Please remember we are here to help with expert branded clothing merchandise and print advice. Why not take a quick look at just a few we have available.

Merchandise in action Red Devils too hot for London!

Our very own merchandise in action was on show on Sunday 10th February on and off the pitch with our pop up shop at the AJ Bell Stadium for the first in a series of games we will be attending throughout the season which will extend our 24/7 web shop solution to the fans on match day. It was certainly a cold and breezy one with that wind whipping in from the Manchester Ship Canal! It was great to meet so many fans who loved the merchandise with the big sellers on the day being the new Kappa 2019 home and away replica shirts, the Kappa player polo and the retro bobble hat, but top sales item on the day was the new Red Devils fan scarf, knitted to a high definition quality and an absolute must to keep that chill off you.

The lads on the pitch certainly went hard & did their best to keep the fans warm making it 2 W’s from 2 games and currently sitting top of Super League after a 24-0 victory over London Broncos. We love this image of the players in action going hard & whatever the campaign or marketing promotion you should never underestimate the power of the photograph to capture the moment of any campaign & deliver real impact, think PR exposure, think the endless social media sharing or competitions on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook & Snapchat.

Maybe you could benefit from our one solution service that covers both on & offline merchandise sales please remember we are here to help with expert branded clothing, merchandise & print advice! For those Red Devils fans it’s #TogetherStronger Don’t forget we will be at more games during the season that will be announced in due course & you can access the goods whenever and wherever you are via the online shop.

Say Hello to Fantastic Merchandise in action!
Say Hello to Fantastic Merchandise in action!

I am sure any newbie would love one of these new employee starter packs, this is a great example of merchandise & branding in action. This included a screen printed t-shirt, corporate merchandise including notebook, pen, info card & a jar of some yummy sweets.

We believe it is so important to create that great first impression for any new employee and it’s never been more prevalent to make a positive impact right from the start with any HR induction welcome & this shows how going that extra mile with branding can really make an eye catching impact while staying on brand. Of course, a similar pack could be used for existing employees for any number of internal awareness initiatives, one of which may be simply trying to promote more people saying ‘Hello’ to each other.

Let’s also not forget the new recruit or existing employee is likely to also share the moment on social media & deliver real impact, think PR exposure, think the endless social media sharing on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook & Snapchat which would be positive publicity for your brand, organisation & CSR. We have a great deal of experience dealing with and distributing new starter or staff incentive kits, if this is an area that you need some help with simply enquire.

Please remember we are here to say hello & help you find that perfect product with expert creative branded clothing, merchandise and print advice. Why not take a look at the 1000’s of products we have available to make that perfect first impression.
