National Stationery Week Announces Its First Sponsor

Independent retailer Marple Stationery Supplies in Cheshire, whose products include gifts, has renewed its support for National Stationery Week 2020, which will be celebrating its 10th year.

The retailer is returning to champion Stationery Shop Saturday, a themed day which encourages retailers of all sizes to open their doors and promote their stationery ranges.

“I’ve been a supporter of National Stationery Week and its #WritingMatters message since the beginning,” commented owner Sarah Laker. “I believe it’s the perfect time to shout about our love, and knowledge, of stationery and the importance of putting pen, or pencil, to paper.”

She continued: “I’m proud to be the figurehead for #StationeryShopSaturday once again and hope to bring together more independent retails store to celebrate their individuality and love of stationery. Last year I took on the challenge of leading #StationeryShopSaturday and it grew bigger than I ever expected, becoming a national hit with retailers of all sizes. It was great to see independent stationers around the country shouting about everything they have to offer. I can’t wait to do the same again – but bigger!”

The 2020 National Stationery Week campaign will see the creation of a new POS pack that will be printed and supplied to all retailers who sign up. It contains tips on how to make the most of the campaign.
