Kaisercraft set to release products quarterly
Geelong based scrapbooking and crafts manufacturer, Kaisercraft have changed their product release cycle from monthly to quarterly. This change will come into effect on 1 July 2009. Q1 is the first official quarterly release of Kaisercraft products.
Each quarter will feature six new collections, which will include six double-sided papers and a variety of embellishments including Alpha stickers, Die cut elements, black & white and colour rub-ons, embroidered badges and an epoxy brad pack to match. Eleven Beyond-the-Page products will also be released in the first quarter. Tom Beanlands, brand manager, Kaisercraft said the move to produce collections in a quarterly time-frame came from the company’s desire to produce better coordinated and quality products for both the customer and consumer. “Our approach qualified by product release trends in the wider scrapbooking industry saw the need for Kaisercraft to focus on improving product design and packaging,” he said.
“We wanted to give customers more time to purchase, sell and merchandise product, and consumers more time to play with each new product.“We feel Kaisercraft’s Q1 products are our best release yet; adding quite a large number of coordinating embellishments will add immense value to our expanded paper collections for our consumers.“As seen by the latest AustralianSCAN survey, we’re seeing a larger number of people embracing domestic crafts again, and these new products are perfect for beginners,” Mr Beanlands said. Products will be packaged in clear, re-usable ‘zip-lock’ bags in a variety of sizes including A5, A6 and DL. Additional zip-lock bags will be available to purchase from retailers in 12×12, A5 and A6 sizes. “The best thing about the zip-lock bags is they will fit easily into standard ring binders. Kaisercraft are also releasing custom-made folders in jumbo 12 x 12 scrapbooking and A5 sizes; making storing your scrapbooking products easier,” Mr Beanlands said. Kaisercraft will also be replacing their current monthly offer brochure and Workshop Magazine with a quarterly magazine. Mr Beanlands explains, “The magazine will be a much more substantial document that will feature a catalogue of new releases, existing products, project worksheets, project galleries and lifestyle sections.” During May and June Kaisercraft will not be releasing any new products. Instead 12 scrapbooking kits will be on offer. These kits will include a variety of scrapbook paper collections and embellishments to match to make two scrapbooking layouts and one Beyond-the-Page project.
Kaisercraft’s current products will continue to be in stock while they bring out new quarterly collections. However, will be reviewing these current ranges in order to provide customers and consumers with the best possible product ranges available.
