Election leaflets
By Steve Hanlon | April 20, 2007
I’m quite pleased with our election leaflets this year. Printed by Flexipress in Ormskirk who did a brilliant job, it’s the first time that we’ve printed colour on non-glossy paper. They have a lovely tactile feel to them and the content isn’t bad either!
When I was little, growing up in Abram, there was a printers down the road in Platt Bridge - just between the post office and a electrical shop (I think). A tiny place, where you went through a narrow front door, stood behind the tiny counter and would be overwhelmed by the smell of ink and cleaning fluids.
We used to buy scraps of paper for a few pence - great for drawing and notes. My Uncle Alec used worked as a printer too, and I grew up thinking that printers were magical places. I still think so.
Regardless of what the public in West Lancs think… I think that this years leaflets get our message across, and do it well.
They say that leaflets are only contemplated for 10 seconds between being picked up and thrown in the bin. I suppose it’s true, but those 10 seconds are important, and we should try our best to make a good impression in that time. I hope we have done that.
