Hi all,
As well as hanging about on here, I do marketing for a print company called Solopress.com
We're looking to follow a new business from launch, supporting it with printed material and tracking its progress on our blog/social media.
Ideally the business would use a wide range of promotional print: Stickers, Posters, Leaflets, Flyers, Business Cards, Stationery etc. plus trade show type stuff like Stands, Roller Banners, Signage etc.
I thought this might suit a serious pickup winder, pedal manufacturer etc - especially one with ambitions to visit a NAMM or Musikmesse type event.
Basically, we get content / you get printed stuff for free.
If you're interested, send me a message! TIA.

Most of the pickup makers who frequent this forum could fairly be described as artisan/boutique. The majority of their sales are on a build to order basis. If the free promotional printed items successfully attracted the hoped for additional sales, with the best will in the world, these bespoke pickup makers would not be able to meet demand within a reasonable turnaround time.
I'm not trying to shoot down your idea. I'm just suggesting that you have chosen the wrong target(s).
We're open to supporting ANY start-up from first steps through to attending a trade show.
In terms of choosing the wrong targets - rest assured, this is just one of many channels we're using to reach out to businesses.
But, you did say “manufacturer” so to me that isn’t the likes of these guys. I think to maximise your chances of getting this in motion I’d find a business that has some traction already, rather than a start up that hasn’t properly launched yet. But maybe that’s the idea anyway?
Sounds cracking for whoever gets on board, best of luck.
