CATWALK CHIC

Q: We are planning a charity fashion show and are looking for a glamorous club venue for it in London. Do you have any suggestions?

A: You should consider the Eve Club (020 7287 1991). Situated in Mayfair, it is rapidly becoming one of London's most desirable venues and is an intimate space suitable for many types of event.

The club has a post-modern 50s atmosphere and the interior includes an ice-sculptured bar. It is scattered with low tables, surrounding a luminous glass dance floor.

Eve Club also has an experienced events team to help you with all your needs, and offers a wide range of packages to suit all budgets.

Brands that have used the venue include Cartier, easyJet, Channel 4, Teenage Cancer Trust, Hello!, Christian Dior and Morgan Stanley.

GREEN BROCHURES

Q: We are an eco-friendly holiday company and want to produce some brochures printed in the most environmentally friendly way possible. Can you recommend anyone?

A: Give Mobius a call (020 7836 3864). It ensures that all of its paper is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, or 100% recycled from paper that has been bleached using the most environmentally friendly methods.

Mobius uses vegetable-based inks and water-based protective coatings. It also uses low-alcohol or alcohol-free printing presses, and waste is recycled.

The company can print flyers, posters, leaflets and business stationery, as well as brochures. Previous clients have included the London Symphony Orchestra and English National Ballet.

FORTUNE SELLERS

Q: We are launching a product and, during a brainstorming session, came up with the idea of sending fortune cookies as part of a direct mail campaign. Who can supply these?

A: Why don't you try Fortune-cookie.co.uk (0800 310 1560)? Established for more than eight years, it can print logos and pictures on the message slips, in colour or black and white, as well one-off 'winner' cookies and branded wrappers.

It can also arrange for the fortune cookies to be mailed to your customers and can handle all aspects of a mailshot.

Your fortune cookies could also be used as giveaways at trade shows, or be distributed on tables at presentation evenings or at your launch.

POLL TO POLL

Q: We are a car dealership and want to set up an online survey to measure customer satisfaction post-purchase. Can anyone help us?

A: Give Retail Eyes a call (01908 328 000). It is one of the UK's fastest-growing research agencies and has more than 35 of the country's biggest retailers and service providers among its clients.

It is also fast becoming one of the UK's biggest providers of online surveys, enabling the creation of tailored polls that align with other data channels for greater accuracy, in addition to various ad-hoc surveys.

Clients include Coca-Cola, Subway, Virgin Active and Spirit Group.
