How to get your business noticed in Grimsby

Five practical ways to get your business noticed in Grimsby, from your Google Business Profile to vans, signs and social media.
Conker Studio offers brochure design for businesses and charities in Grimsby and right across North East Lincolnshire, along with menus, leaflets, posters, reports and everything else that ends up on paper. Every piece is laid out to suit your brand, written to be read rather than skimmed past, and supplied as print-ready files your printer can run without a phone call. You also get a PDF version that works properly on screen and in an email.
A brochure gets handed across a counter, left on a reception desk or posted through a door, and people judge you by it before they've read a word. Text crammed to the edges, blurry photos and colours that print muddy all say "we rushed this", even when the business behind it is careful and good at what it does.
Then there's the technical side. Printers want bleed, CMYK colour and high-resolution images, and a file that looked fine on your laptop can come back rejected or, worse, printed with a white line down one edge.
Something about bleed, resolution or fonts, and you're not sure how to fix it.
Each one was made in a hurry by whoever had time, so nothing feels like it belongs together.
It has crossed-out prices, handwritten notes or a layout nobody can follow.
And need a stand, banners and handouts that look like one family.
Whether it's a single flyer or a 24-page booklet, the same care goes into the layout, the words and the files. Brochure design gets the same attention as a one-page poster.
Multi-page brochures, capability statements, annual reports and programmes, laid out so the important bits are easy to find. Folded, stapled or perfect bound, depending on page count and budget.
Clear menus for cafes, pubs and restaurants that are easy to update when prices change, plus table talkers and counter cards to match.
A5 leaflets, DL door drops, tri-folds and A3 or A2 posters with one clear message and a reason to act.
Cards, compliment slips and letterheads that sit comfortably with the rest of your brand.
Pull-up banners, shell scheme panels, backdrops and signage for events, sized to the supplier's templates so everything fits on the day.
Press-ready PDFs with 3mm bleed, crop marks, CMYK colour and outlined fonts, plus a lighter PDF for email and your website.
YMCA Humber needed a steady flow of printed material for its Grimsby work, from campaign posters and leaflets to booklets, table talkers and cafe materials. Everything was designed as one family, right through to exhibition stands and event graphics.
After renaming from Shire Contracting, the new shire horse identity had to work on paperwork and printed material as well as tipper trucks and bulk bags. The print pieces carry the same bold, practical feel as the rest of the brand.
We talk through what the piece is for, who'll read it, how many you need and where it'll be handed out.
You'll see a first draft of the layout with real content in place, not placeholder text, so you can judge it properly.
We tweak wording, images and details together, and you get a final proof to check every page before anything is printed.
Files go to your printer in the format they ask for, or I can recommend a reliable local printer and handle the handover. You also get a digital PDF to share.

Brochures and menus start from £450 for up to 8 pages, then £60 for each extra page. Business cards are £95 and a single flyer or poster is £120. Every project gets a fixed quote before work starts, and as the studio isn't VAT registered, there's no VAT to add.
A flyer or poster can usually be turned around within a week. Brochure design for 8 to 16 pages typically takes two to three weeks, depending on how ready the words and photos are. If you have a printing deadline or an event date, tell me at the start and we'll plan back from it.
Either works. If you already have a printer you trust, I'll set the files up to their specification. If not, I can recommend a printer that suits the job and your budget, and help you choose paper stocks - ideally FSC-certified - and finishes like silk, uncoated, matt lamination or spot UV.
I can help shape and tidy your text so it reads well on the page, and edit long documents down so they don't feel heavy. Bigger writing jobs are agreed in the quote up front. Good copy makes brochure design far easier to read.
Yes. Alongside the print-ready file, you get a PDF sized for screen that you can email, add to your website or share on social media. For things like menus, I can also supply an editable version for small price changes.
Yes. I'm based in Grimsby and work with businesses across North East Lincolnshire, including Cleethorpes, Immingham, Waltham and Laceby. Proofs are sent as PDFs, so distance is never a problem.
Print often sits alongside other work, like a logo refresh or social graphics. Have a look at graphic design in Grimsby for the wider picture, or signage and vehicle graphics if your brand needs to show up on vans and shopfronts too.
