Just returned from exhibiting at the DIY & Garden Show at Earls Court and my product (Parcel Safe) won 'Best New DIY/Hardware Product 2007' in the new product awards!

This was the icing on the cake, a superb show with interest from the big guns including Woolworths, Wickes, Amazon and Screwfix!

A fantastic start to 2007!!

Here's a few images from the show.....





 
interesting concept, and very well done!
but who signs for the parcel?
you have a great big container for whatever is delviered, but who signs for it?

Excellent news - and an excellent product.
I am forever having to go and collect parcels after being left cards as I am out and about too much - may be in touch at some stage :)

Thanks for all the comments, and to anyone who has a new product, stick at it....there were plenty of occasions last year when I felt like just giving in but stuck at it, and will hopefully during the next few months start to see the rewards.

the award is great - well done.
now - how can you ramp it up to generate exposure / awareness / consumer interest etc?

How about taking a few hours out to think - 'what am I going to do with this?'

the entire purpose of entering for rewards is not for the reward - but for the publicity.
My old school friend Andrew Black of Betfair won Ernst & Young Emerging Entrepreneurs Award in October 2002 and the Queens Award for Enterprise in 2003 - that would have been nothing if he didn't use it to generate press awareness and get poeple to use his product.

Good luck - the award is an opportunity - use it well.

well done, I like the product, it encourages online ordering which I obviously support.

Do you do a bigger one though? A lot of our boxes would not fit in that.

I am quite envious that you have a product of your own rather than retailing other people's products. It must be very rewarding.

Congratulations, it's always good to be recognised for you work. Being awarded is even better.

Long may your success continue.
