New Multi Effect Single Ignition

We have been in business since 1968 but last night we filmed the best single ignition firework we have ever seen. At £59.99 it is better than other manufacturers products at twice the price. Lasting about two minutes the sky is constantly full of stars. Great sequence of wriggling fish, a salvo of tumbling whistles, a false finale and a great encore of crackling stars. The new Crossette Finale was also tested and filmed and is a great firework for people wanting something different. Commencing with a rapid sequence of zig zagging stars followed by large breaks in a fan shape accross the sky. Hopefully we will have the new videos on-line in the next couple of days as the videos currently on our web site were of pre-production models filmed in China.

New Year's Eve fireworks

Due to the bad weather (heavy snow at our storage site this morning) we are going to start dispatching our fireworks for new year's eve to our customers in the Scottish Highlands on Monday morning. Hopefully there should then be a break in the weather for the delivery vans to get through in the next two weeks. The new single ignition fireworks for new year look fantastic, we will be posting new video footage onto our web site in about a week.

New fireworks for new year celebrations

After months of waiting our new single ignition fireworks for new year celebrations look like they could be soon with us. We have experienced about every obstacle in getting these new fireworks. Firstly the fireworks got put in the wrong container and apparently ended up in the US, then storms meant that the container ship has to stay in port, finaly thick fog at Felixstowe mean the ship could not get into port. We have heard today that all is now ok and that the ship has landed and we are just now waiting to hear that the container has passed customs and is on it's way to us. All being well we will have two exciting new single ignition boxes. Our multi-effect single ignition box will contain everthing you need for new year celebrations and is truly a dipslay in a box, our Crossette Finale will be spectacular but will satisfy the needs of those wanting something a little quieter. Hopefully we shall be posting new videos of these fireworks on you tube as soon we get them tested.

See Jordans Fireworks advertising

Our 2010 advertising campaign has just started. This was all planned early in the year so it is very frustrating when other mediums try to get us to advertise at the last minute. The buses we advertise on in the midlands are fantastic value for money, how many times have you been stuck behind a bus with just the advert on the back to look at? We are also trying Google adwords properly for the first time. In the past we have been given vouchers from companies to spend on adwords and we have just played at it but we didn't realy know we were doing. So early this year we approached a local company to handle a pay per click campaign for us this September/October. I can see straight away that they are doing lots of things that we knew nothing about but then that's what we are paying them for. Our motorway banners will also be in place during October. Again we use a professional company to handle this for us. Please keep your eyese on the road but we will be advertising by the M40 and M1. Not a cheap medium by any means but when you look at the number of people passing those banners in a day we tend to think it is good value for money. We don't do much press advertising these days, locally there are now so may free papers I wouldn't know which one to choose and they have such a short shelf life.

New firework stock

New fireworks are arriving every day at the momment. We have just moved down the new Panther Rockets from Absolute Fireworks down to our showroom. New stock of the Fury single ignition firework also moved to our showroom, this is a fantastic value for money barrage, outperforming many larger fireworks.

the busy firework season

Like magic the 1st of September seems to awaken peoples minds to the fact that Bonfire Night is getting near. The next few weeks are going to be very busy with allocating orders and in goods and out goods are well co-ordinated. Hopefully the weather will stay dry as it makes the job so much more pleasant.

Jordans Fireworks latest news - August

Coming to the end of the holidays. Every week someone is off so it will be good to get back to normal staffing in September. The first of the deliveries for bonfire night are now in stock. We have managed to upload some video clips onto the web site. During September we will try to speed up the loading time of the videos but just at the momment due to holidays and a sudden rush of orders for August/early September parties we have been too busy. We still have a few brochures to post out and should get that done next week.

New Firework Brochure finished.

Our winter 2010 firework brochure has been signed off (hope we don't find any mistakes now!)and should be delivered within the next few days. We then will start the process of sending them out in the post. This often takes quite a few days, stuffing encevopes, putting in order forms etc.

The move around in the office is coming along well. The new long desk should help as two of us can work side by side on either the same or different tasks. The new linked computers should be installed next week so we will have plenty of time to iron out any problems.

The new web site is ready to be uploaded, however as many of the new items have not yet arrived from China we will probably wait a few weeks before posting it up. This will also give us time to insert the new video clips of the new fireworks into the site.

Office re-fit

After what seems forever we have made a start on re-fitting our office. New desk, new computers and hopefully more workspace allthough I'm sure we will soon fill it.

Jordans Fireworks brochure

We have been working on the new brochure and web site for the last couple of months. The possible change in VAT has put things on hold for a while but now things are going to stay the same for the next 6 months we can sign off brochure designs. We have the new web site layout sorted out and are now just transfering video formats to wmvs (I know we should probably be using something more modern but I like to work with what I know and understand). We will probably wait until the new stock arrives in bulk before posting the new site up. Most stock arrives in the country during August, we hope the floods in China wont affect things too much and it will allow us to get our 4th July sales out of the way. 4th has become quite a busy time for us, after all there are a lot of people from the states living and working in the UK and it is great that they can celebrate this special time for them.

Jordans Fireworks new products

Interesting seeing some of the new items in the flesh for the first time. Brothers demonstartion was very useful. Some products that we thought would be good were only average whilst others were outstanding. Look out for Air Boss in particular which will feature in our single ignitions range. Prices are yet to be finalised as we are waiting to see if the rate of vat goes up in the budget but as always we discount the leading brands and expect to find the leading brands at the lowest prices on our web site.

Jordans Fireworks off to Brothers Pyrotechnics

We are viewing several new fireworks by Brothers Pyrotechnics tomorrow night, it will help us in our final descision regarding quantities. The videos of Air Boss and Open Fire looked good so it will be interesting to see them for real.

Jordans Fireworks New Products

Just had the images come from China of two of the new items. Very crisp, clean, modern design.

Jordans Fireworks garden assortment packs

New stock of garden assortment packs are arriving today. Prices range from £10 to £20 for small garden packs and from £30 to £60 for larger packs. Our rocket volley will be back in stock today

Fireworks sale

We are now coming to the end of our annual spering firework sale, as usual there is the last minute rush and were quite busy yesterday dispatching orders for spring firework displays. we are now well into finalizing our 2010 main season range. Hopefully we should have all our buying done in the next few weeks and have seen some great new large barrages for 2010.

New fireworks for 2010

We have just seen the video footage of some of the new fireworks for 2010. Some very impressive effects and good value for money. We are converting the format so taht we can post the videos on our you tube site and also show sneak previews on our web site. We may not be able to get this done until after the easter break though.

Jordans Fireworks sale

I don't think we have ever had such a response to our firework sale leaflet. All this morning I have been dealing with requests about our Bonfire selection. This really is a great assortment of fireworks and whilst people have asked if we have a video of it we may not have any stock left by the time we get to film a pack (we did not film this pack as it was an assortment and people can take all evening to light them one at a time. The total duration of the contents when fired continuously is about 10 mins. We are currently working on the dvd for our shop monitors and selecting lines for our winter 2010 firework range.

Firework sale 2010

Staff are working hard stuffing envelopes to send our details of our spring firework sale. The updated web site has been tested and all the links seem to work fine. It will take a couple of days to get all the mail shots out to customers but we wanted to get the web site on-line and ready for those ordering as soon as they got the details.

Jordans Fireworks blog up and running

After having signed up for this blog about a year ago we have done nothing with it. However we have now incorperated it into our web site so you can get a more detailed view of how the year progresses for us. Last year you may have been aware that several large firework importers closed down due to the economic climate and several others did not import any new items as they were carrying over large stocks. This made last year's buying somewhat difficult to say the least and caused a few sleepless nights. This year things look better regarding the importation of fireworks and we have seen some importers rise from the dust and others strengthen their ranges. Others too are offering us more exclusive lines so we are looking forward to putting together our winter 2010 range.

Our spring 2010 sale is just about to go live, For 6 weeks only we have some never to be repeated offers. We can store fireworks for you (for free) if you wish to take advantage now of our great offers. However we are constantly surprised of how many use the fireworks for parties at this time of the year.

For quick updates of what is going on you can see our twitter account.
