JML are a global market leader in consumer products sold through innovative video marketing. Over the last 25 years, we have grown from a small family company into a global business with an annual turnover of more than £100 million. Our success stems from our unrelenting focus on the products we sell and the way that we sell them. We have built our business by engaging with our customers through dynamic multi-channel advertising, creating distinctive promotional videos that inspire, entertain and sell. We have grown by continually investing in product and brand development, and by utilising the potential of new technologies to help us expand and communicate with our customer base. Our people are our biggest asset. We have a skilled and highly experienced team who bring passion and drive to the JML vision and always put quality and service at the forefront of everything we do. 02 C5 RETAIL TV HOME SHOPPING E-COMMERCE RETAIL Every JML product has a story to tell, and we use a powerful multi-channel strategy to bring that story to life in-store. Our bespoke videos sell the benefits of each product to the largest possible audience using a dynamic, visually exciting approach that entertains and persuades. Every video highlights commonplace problems and provides compelling solutions that create instant impact and delivers sales. JML’s first demonstrations were performed live to audiences in stores and consumer exhibitions around the country. Today we use a combination of TV spots, online video content and infomercial advertising alongside in-store screen promotions. Our multi-channel campaigns create screen-to-screen synergy, reinforcing brand values and key selling points. This starts all the way from home televisions, right through to point of purchase and on to our vibrant product packaging. 04 UK & IRELAND RETAIL PARTNERS 05 RETAIL / The advertising We are one of the UK’s biggest advertisers and spend £16 million on advertising annually.
