In Nigeria, the fluctuating cost of items often leads to concerns about finding suitable souvenirs for milestone celebrations. At Jewel Publishers, we understand these challenges and pride ourselves on offering affordable and practical solutions for our clients.

Recently, we had the pleasure of celebrating the remarkable Dr. Mrs. Perpetua Uhomoibhi, who celebrated her 60th birthday and retired from her role as the National Coordinator for the National Malaria Elimination Programme.

For Dr Mrs Perpetua's celebration, we curated a selection of thoughtful items:

1. Umbrellas: With the rainy season approaching, a sturdy umbrella is always a practical choice.
2. Towels: A fresh set of towels is a luxurious yet practical gift that everyone can appreciate.
3. Mugs: As the weather cools down, there's nothing better than a warm cup of tea to stay cosy.
4. Notepads: Our stylish and compact notepads are perfect for slipping into purses or laptop bags, ensuring your guests always have a handy way to jot down notes or ideas.

Whether it's for corporate events, personal celebrations, or any other occasion, Jewel Publishers is here to help you find the perfect souvenirs. Let us take the stress out of souvenir planning and ensure your guests leave with a memorable token of appreciation.

Contact us today to discuss your souvenir needs and let us make your next event truly special.

In one of my posts, I briefly mentioned how documenting our plans has enabled us to deliver our services within a week, even with a 2-week lead time, based on our client's requests.

What I didn't delve into were the details: to adhere to these documented plans, we often find ourselves spending nights at our printing press or on the road when delivering items to different states. We run shifts and do whatever it takes to ensure we meet our agreed deadlines.

On several occasions when emergencies arise, and we need to work late into the night with other vendors, I've found many of them sleeping when I walked in unannounced. Initially, I would feel upset, perhaps due to my high expectations that work should continue even in my absence.

Years ago, I came across something shocking from Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia, about the secret to building a great business. He said, "LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS AND WORK HARDER."

Reflecting on this advice, I had to agree. Often, when I expected quotations or deliveries to be ready before I went to sleep, there were excuses for why they hadn't happened.

To address these shortcomings, I started learning to lower my expectations. When we have urgent jobs with tight deadlines, everyone, including myself, jumps into action. I simply call home and say, "I won't be coming home for a few days because we need to deliver items to our clients."

During these times and nights, hardly anyone expected to be on those shifts sleeps, perhaps because I was present. There is music, laughter, food, and drinks, all contributing to making the work enjoyable until we deliver.

I suppose I'm speaking to fellow process heads, urging them to forget about titles and focus on delivering results, no matter the cost.

At Jewel Publishers and Services and RELL, we are mindful of this approach, and I invite you to join those organisations enjoying what I would refer to as premium service.

Shalom.

My colleagues often wonder why I take notes when handling RFPs or RFQs, or why I continue making notes after securing contracts from successful bids.

You see, having led Quality Management Systems (QMS) initiatives in my previous role, I became deeply committed to documentation. I often remind my colleagues that all the documented policies, processes, and procedures for QMS are meaningless unless they improve customer satisfaction.

During the RFP process, I focus on submitting accurate bids, including pricing details to give us a competitive edge. I meticulously document everything to showcase our strengths, especially when verbal presentations aren't possible.

Once we secure contracts, I shift my focus to documenting everything necessary for customer satisfaction—lead times, quality requirements, key contacts, and resources needed for fulfilment.

Over the past seven years, this approach has ensured consistent service delivery, as these documented plans also serve as key performance indicators (KPIs), guiding our actions.

So, apart from mastering our craft, the key to our success is thorough documentation. I document until completion, a strategy that continues to yield results.

Perhaps others would like to share their success strategies too.

Let's discuss your supply chain needs with RELL, or your publishing, printing, and graphic design requirements with Jewel Publishers.

Shalom.

Permit me to summariseTortoise a story by Damgu - The Three Monkeys and The Tortoise

In the heart of a beautiful park lay a small lake with an enchanting island adorned with shrubs and banana leaves, inhabited by three monkeys—Gila, Fugi, and Lola.

Despite their pretence of friendship, the trio engaged in constant quarrels over every little thing. Complaints such as "Why are you drinking my water?" or "Playing on my tree?" filled the air.

One day, a wise tortoise emerged from the lake, expressing dissatisfaction with the lack of peace around the lake due to the monkeys' incessant bickering. The tortoise implored them to change their ways and learn to live better with each other. However, once she departed, the monkeys reverted to their usual behaviour, oblivious to the darkened sky, thunder, and flashes of lightning.

As heavy rain poured down, the monkeys, fearing the water would submerge the entire island, sought refuge on a slippery stone. They huddled together to endure the cold, hoping the rain would cease.

Fortunately, the rain did stop, and the water receded. To their surprise, the rock they stood on for safety belonged to the generous tortoise. Grateful for the tortoise's salvation, the monkeys expressed their thanks and joined other animals in the park.

Returning to the island by the lake to occasionally play, the monkeys underwent a profound change. No longer did they quarrel over possessions; instead, each monkey was willing to share what they found.

The story beautifully illustrates that in the face of chaos, humanity can unite. Yet, it poses a question: Must we wait for chaos to erupt before we learn to share?

Encourage sharing these stories with your kids and friends, fostering reflections on values that enhance life.

If you haven't read a book today, consider ordering a storybook from Jewel Bookshop and Services, where prices start as low as 800 Naira (Enjoy free delivery when you order 10 of these small story books for your kids).

MAN LIKE HENRY...

There is a guy called Henry in our business, Jewel Publishers.

I met Henry years ago after he completed his apprenticeship in graphics design and was recommended by a friend when I was in dire need of a stable graphics designer to work with us.

He was the kind of person I needed even though his graphics skills at that time were immature for the media services we wanted to offer our clients.

Considering that, we were also mindful of overheads, I didn't realise when I started asking him to do things that were outside the scope of his work. He was employed then to work as a graphics designer, but as we progressed gradually, Henry learned how to cost for printing and publishing works better than most accountants we have engaged to date.
He became a professional at managing operations during production and interfacing with clients, advising them on the best ways to handle different kinds of work they gave to Jewel Publishers.

At some point in our journey, I was a bit scared that we had put our company Jewel Publishers, in one man's hand, and I was afraid. Sometimes, I am still scared that he knows too much to lead to our demise if he decides to move on to something else.

I know that the arm of flesh could fail, but I realised a few months ago that the things I exposed Henry to have also made him so loyal to Jewel Publishers and me.

He knows the things he knows because he said more Yes to me most of the time than No. Henry does not know what impossible means. At those times, I simply said, I want this, and my guy goes about it, and within deadlines, I would have answers staring at me on my desk.

I didn't have explanations for my methods, but this morning, while reading the leadership book from Robin Sharma, I understood why Henry sticks around me as a good wife Married to her husband in good and bad times. Robin said, "By helping your people become so good at what they do, they become indispensable, you will not only boost productivity, you will gain loyalty".

HENRY IS AN INDISPENSABLE PART OF JEWEL PUBLISHERS. HE IS THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED AT JEWELS TO DATE.

Congratulations for making it to April 2023. We pray that you will excel in everything in you do with your business.

As a business passionate about improving the image of our clients, we urge you to use your business to promote national unity this month. Nigeria is at that time when certain miscreants emphasise things that divide us more than those that unite us.

May we not let their schemes succeed.

Have a blessed April 2023.

Welcome to the Month of March 2023.

Irrespective of the outcome of the elections, we move. Whether we move to the courts for justice or move on to building our country despite the kind of leadership we have, we will this time move towards progress.

All we need to move towards the life we want is to be intentional. No leader can act away from the will of the people. If we do not demand from them, they will lead us as nobodies but if we demand from them as we demanded from our favourite Peter Obi, they will surely lead us right or give us a way to choose the kind of leaders we truly deserve.

At Jewel Publishers, we are open for business offering our best Printing, Branding, Graphics Design, Publishing, Books, stationery and office supply.

We hope that you will get in touch.

We wish you the best of March 2023 and look forward to your patronage.

Dear business owner, small business, big business, online shop owner,

Do you know that your clients sometimes forget where they got certain items even if you sell very quality products.

Rather than use plain nylons or package bags, keep your company crested in the minds of your customers by imprinting your business on the nylon bags.

In business, I have learned not to let people spoil my reggae with their blues.

There are some clients that don't need to make advance payments before we begin their work and for some, it is a no pay, no deal.

Segmenting your customers is a must if you must serve you want happy customers. I shared an experience👇🏾
