Additionally, they can offer insights into product feasibility, market trends, and any necessary approvals. Once the details are finalized, the booking will be confirmed, and the NPD process will commence as per the agreed plan.

All nominations are subject to sign off by both the Category Buyer or the Trading Manager. A limit on the maximum number of takeovers per event will be implemented

File Set-Up

How to provide your finished artwork:

  • Please send us a layered Photoshop file (PSD), in the latest Creative Cloud version. If you don’t have the latest version of Photoshop, please send over a layered Photoshop file, along with a PDF/JPG of your artwork so we can see what it needs to look like. The PDF/JPEG file must originate from a Photoshop file.
  • Please include images/links from your layered Photoshop file, even if they are placed in as Smart Objects. Those images shouldn’t be any smaller than 900px x 900px.
  • Overall maximum file size is 200mb.
  • Please remember to provide a mobile and desktop version of your artwork (if applicable). We WILL NOT resize your artwork if you only supply us with one variation. This may lead to your spot being cancelled if the files received are incomplete.
  • We DO NOT accept artwork in any other format - only Adobe Photoshop.
  • Please provide any fonts you require us to use with your artwork. This should include the license for us to use them - we will not purchase a license.
  • All text layers in your artwork must be editable.

Sign off process

  • One round of amends are allowed.
  • Amends should not include changes to the agreed brief, and may be subject to additional charge if they require more than 20 minutes design work.
  • Late or incomplete assets may be subject to cancellation charge.
  • We reserve the right to modify or amend designs, without notice, where we consider that these changes will improve sales conversion
