12 Little Duckies

Hello folks,

Working in the City can have its advantages. Everything and anything is accessible at the drop of a hat, life is exciting and dynamic and there’s a certain buzz about the place.

However - one thing you don’t get is 2 Mallard ducks and 12 little ducklings nipping in to your car park first thing on a Monday like we had at the Mighty Box this morning!

Being based in a farm house, we are obviously privvy to “all creatures great and small” (including the swallows which live in one of the outhouses) but never have we been more priveledged than with the visit of our twelve little guests this morning. It was cracking (no pun intended) and certainly cheered up the team for the week ahead.

Bianca - our own private paparazzi - nipped out with SLR and got a number of shots (including the one above) of the 12 little beauties. We’ll keep you posted on their progress.

 PS - There’s internal office wranglings at the minute of a ‘natural’ nature. Nobody wants to mow the lawns and take care of the gardens, but as the spring is coming, the grass and pesky weeds are growing at a rate of knots. So - Scoops has had the ingenious idea of getting a couple of goats. Classic.

(Not untyically) Barney is poo-pooing the idea (his favourite saying is bah himbug), but we’re still flying the goat flag. So, the plan is to wait till Barney goes on ANOTHER one of his holidays and get the little fellas in whilst he’s away ;-)

Spider Catcher product Video…

Friday, April 20th, 2007

Hello folks,

 TFI Friday eh!

 Anyhoo - here’s a cracking video done by our good buddy Fraser from (amongst other things) Cool Things Live. It’s a product demonstration of the ingenious Spider Catcher and in my opinion perfectly displays the functionality of the product.

Well done Fraser! :-)

Ipod Accessories…

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

2 blogs in 1 day… I’m becomming addicted.

I just wanted to tell you about the great new products we’ve launched on the site. The buying dept have been heeding the call from all us office techy/music nuts and have bought in a cool range Ipod Accessories. We’ve bought in everything FM Transmitters, which will send your ipod tunes over the airwaves and play them through your FM radio, through to the Ipod Portable Docking Station which is not dissimilar to the old fashioned “Ghetto Blaster” but with a futuristic slant (see piccie below).

The crowing glory of the iLuv range is the iLuv Multimedia Player for your iPod (pictured at the top of the piece) which allows you to view videos from your iPod on the nifty 7 inch screen. And if you’ve not got an iPod you can watch DVD’s or any other form of media. Lovely stuff.

Affiliate Fat Camp

Wednesday, April 18th, 2007

Hello good people,

 Hope you are all fine and dandy.

One of my good buddies in the On Line Marketing World has invited me on to his Affiliate Fat Camp. At first I was chuffed to be invited - A few days of debauchery, drinking and having a laff with like minded marketeers on the comedically entitled “Fat Camp”. That is until Paul told me about the itinery…

It actually is a Fat Camp. There will be a strict diet and you’ve got to do 20 press ups to earn 1 beer!!! And not to mention that I’ve been invited on a “FAT camp”. Now, I know I’ve put on a bit of timber over the last few years, but I think this is the straw that broke the camels back! I’m officially a big unit, man boobs and all.

Right time to go out on my bike. Speak to you when I’m a thinny.

Zak.

Valentines Day Competition Winners…

Monday, April 16th, 2007

Hello folks,

I hope you are well.

I just wanted to tell you about a competition which we’ve recently sponsored at our good friends Quidco.

Basically each entrant had to detail one of their Valentine Horror stories with the winner taking home one of our ‘oh so popular’ Peekaboo Pole Dancing Kits. There are some great stories on there - well worth a read. The ultimate winner suffered a fate that will make most blokes wince. Whilst climbing a fence on the way to spend Valentines Day with his new lady he caught his erm… ‘jacobs’… on some barbed wire whilst on the way to meet his future missus and more embarrassingly her parents! OUCH!!!

Enjoy…

Good Voodoo Dolls

Thursday, April 5th, 2007

You’ve got to believe that we’re good people here at Prezzybox.com. You can often see members of the team clearing up litter, or helping the local elderly. We’ve even been known to tackle local youngsters who are terrorising the Squirrels in the area. We simply ooooze goodness.

Can you imagine our horror when we were approached to sell Voodoo Dolls on the Mighty Box.  In unison, there was an almighty gasp from the staff. Sharon nearly lost her temper, whilst even Sue looked slightly flabberghasted. Thankfully our fears were short lived - these were “GOOD” Voodoo Dolls spreading nothing but love and happiness. We could breathe easy once more.

There are 4 Good Voodoo Dolls to choose from including the Magnetic Twins (above),  Bat Boy, Little Helper and the delectable Voodoo Princess.

I quote you can “Forget the dark reputation of Voodoo and embrace the awesome positive power its little helpers can bring to you and your loved ones”.  Whether you need protection, help with love or just a little luck, these handsome string dolls will wield the power of the universe and swing it your way.

They are soooooo cute and tiny (about 7cm) and make a perfect gift for loved ones.

Great Customer Services…

Wednesday, April 4th, 2007

Hello folks,

 Sorry. My blogging exploits have been nothing short of shambolic lately. Slapped wrists! I promise to write more often.

Anyway, I just wanted to write a post about some great customer services I’ve recently been privy to. I really put a lot of stock into managing Customers expectations and it’s something we put a lot of emphasis on at prezzybox.com. It’s a lot easier to get a customer than to keep a customer snd turn them into a repeat customer.

 I’d therefore like to draw your attention to two companies this week. Recently I’ve bought a lap top and a Mountain Bike (for the missus). Both were ordered on Monday and they were delivered in perfect working order on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively. So - big credit to Ebuyer.com for the lap top and Cyclestore.co.uk for the bike.

People are only to quick to complain about poor customer services and I feel it’s nice to shout about good Customer Services too.

 Take care folks.

Zak.
