Peter has spent a lot of time extensively researching and sourcing new products from all over the world , from Europe to Asia and has travelled extensively meeting and building relationships with suppliers . Badge machines became a major part of the business , allowing customers to set up their own business or add to their existing personalisation portfolio . The perfect “ business in a box ”! He sourced a high quality European machine which could produce high volumes with a quality product every time . He has since become the sole UK distributor for these machines .
The success of the badge system produced another idea . Peter saw the opportunity to create a second readymade business and launched the new brand ‘ KeyringFab ’ which allowed customers to create high quality metal keyrings and associated products in low volume production runs whilst also returning high profit margins . Together with the badge system , this gives people the opportunity to start a business from home , or for larger organisations to produce their own promotional / gift products in house without any specialist knowledge . The Keyringfab system is ideal for creating gift and promotional items and amongst the current users there are event photographers , trophy and award shops , sports shops , party & balloons organisations , clothing embroidery / printwear suppliers to name but a few .
My-Accessories ’ next push is to increase their International presence further via a marketplaces strategy , ( they currently ship to 48 countries ) which will be aided by specialised software that will be used to increase their share of this vast market , making transactions seamless for the end user . “ It ’ s like going back to where we started and using these platforms to greater effect , now that technology has evolved ” said Peter .
Over the years there has been massive increase in the demand for personalised items . The UK market continues to grow with sales in excess 1 billion pounds for 2018 and over 53 % of UK adults sending a personalised item in that year . My-accessories has recognised the rising growth in this area and are making these items available for self-assembly or via a 3rd party .
