'Glove’ At First Sight As Leighmans And iPrints Join Forces
Award winning UK promotional products provider Leighmans was toasting the end of another successful year at the tolling of Big Ben last month.
A year, which was capped off perfectly by the recent collaboration with innovative new company iPrints.
iPrints is the brainchild of inventor and entrepreneur Phil Mundy who has created the only solution currently available that allows you to wear any pair of gloves you like, and still be able to use your touch screen mobile or Android phone.
Mundy’s genius solution comes in the form of clever adhesive strips that stick to gloves of any kind, which allow you to use your touch screen device without furious fumbling or battered fingers.
“Up till now the only way you could use your touch screen device whilst wearing gloves was to either buy a pair of very expensive specially designed mobile compatible gloves, or to take your gloves off when you needed to use your phone. The last thing I wanted to do in the freezing cold is to take my gloves off every time I want to send a text message. I knew there had to be a more cost effective solution” exclaims Mundy.
After teaming up with iPrints official corporate gift supplier Leighmans.com, iPrints can now be brought in bulk with custom designs or logos, perfect for promoting businesses of any kind.
Leighmans have been providing corporate gifts and merchandise in the form of anything from umbrellas to cuddly toys since 2003, and are proud owners of two industry awards.
Yesterday, Leighman’s Director Darren Leigh spoke very enthusiastically about the deal.
“We love to work with new and innovative companies, so when we met up with Phil (Mundy) to discuss the ideas he had for branding his products we were instantly sold. I hate nothing more than taking my gloves off in the freezing cold when I need to make a phone call, so I have quite a few of the iPrints myself at home.” He laughs.
“Helping companies build their brands is what we do at Leighmans. Having the chance to do that in conjunction with a great product like iPrints is perfect for our business.”
With the world climate being unpredictable at the best of times, and global winters becoming increasingly colder, the success of the iPrints and their new partnership with Leighmans is sure to continue long after the Sun decides to put its hat on!
