Our new van is out on the road and now it has a snazzy new look to match our new image.
Company image is very important to us here at Doro Tape, so as soon as we took delivery of our new van we were keen to have the graphics done asap.
By using a combination of our vehicle wrap vinyl & laminate (Ri-Jet 50 + Vehicle Lam) along side traditional coloured vinyl we have achieved a professional, seamless look which will enhance our image when delivering to our customers.
Our van operates within the East Midlands area and enables us to deliver large sign boards such as Foamed PVC, Aluminium Composite & Correx boards alongside the regular boxes of sign vinyl and digital print media.
Doro Tape are trying every trick in the book to get people to vote for them in the national competition to win £150,000 of administration software and services from Greentree. Not satisfied in just marketing over the internet, sending e-mails and leafleting customers, Doro have applied a giant 4 foot sticker to their building.
The sticker was printed using Aslan DFP45 a special film for direct to facia signage which Doro Tape supply to the Sign & Graphics industry. It is a great way to get maximum impact for short term promotions and can be easily removed once the competition closes.
Help Doro achieve their ambition to up-grading their business software by winning the competition, and beating the other 9 finalists.

Doro needs your stories!!!
I am sure, when finishing a job, there have been plenty of times when you have stood back and been very pleased with what you have created for the customer. Well then why not tell us about it.
We are always looking for interesting applications of our materials which we can use for marketing purposes. With your permission this will include passing the story on to the trade magazines for use in features and articles. This will not only help in advertising our products, but will also give your business excellent and free publicity.
All we ask is that the job is something a little special, possibly using a product we have recently added to our range; or work carried out for a well known national company. Send us some basic information concerning the job; which of our products you used and why you found them the most suitable for the application. But most importantly of all we need good images preferably in jpeg, tif or gif format at no less that 1Mb. It is true: a picture does tell a thousand words.
AND for extra encouragement we will give a £25.00 discount off your next order for every story we use. PLUS at the end of the year we will pick the story we consider the best for a special prize.
Come on guys, I know your proud of what you do, so don’t keep it to yourselves.
For your chance to win just email your stories & pics to sales@dorotape.co.uk
