Hi Everyone,
Welcome to the July issue of What's New at DeskDemon.
Now that all the sporting excitement of the World Cup and Wimbledon is behind us, we can all calm down and concentrate on work - with a little bit of day-dreaming about our summer holidays allowed! Here at DeskDemon we're always looking out for you, with great competitions, offers and useful information to brighten up your working day.
First up - how about a Great British Break at a Village Hotel? With the UK weather (mostly) playing ball this summer, a few days away near top attractions sounds really appealing. Go for it! We've teamed up with Pentel to give away free samples of their new EnerGel pens - so make sure you bag yours. Pentel are also offering free cinemas tickets - click here for details of how to enter to win. And don't forget to click on Dymo's competition (see below) for your last chance to get your hands on a free LabelWriter 450 - a fabulous office tool.
So what's new at DeskDemon this month? |

Corporate Events - some golden rules| Corporate Events usually fall into three main categories - problem solving events, communication events, and pure fun events. Unfortunately, however great the event idea might be, it can end up costing a fortune and achieving little if some fundamentals are not considered. So it's time to go back to basics and examine the whys and wherefores of event planning, before your imagination (and your budget) go wild! |
