The Real Heat Pack Company Ltd

End of Tax Year Stock Clearance Sale

2009-02-28T15:55:00.002Z

In order to help us with our stock count at the end of March, we have decided to offer a huge 30% discount across the heat pack range for the whole of March 2009!!

The discounts have been built into the prices shown on the shopping page at www.eyeeco.co.uk/shop, and the normal prices are shown in the product descriptions.

We have even introduced a 'set pack' specially, containing a neck & shoulder pack, a pair of foot pals and a palm pal: these would normally be £33 separately, £23.10 with the 30% discount, but we are introducing them for only £20 - that's a saving of just under 40%!!

And the sale still even includes free postage, too!

American Express

2009-01-07T12:12:00.003Z

Firstly - A Happy New Year to all of our Customers and Clients!!

To begin the New Year we have a January discount offer of 15%: we hope it will be very welcome in the current cold snap!

Also, we now accept American Express cards for payment, to add to the Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, Solo and JCB cards that we already accept: so, a big welcome to all those Amex card holders out there!

Christmas Discount

2008-12-02T22:28:00.001Z

Having had another busy year, we are happy to offer customers a 15% pre-Christmas discount. Just use code XMAS08 at the checkout (not available with Google Checkout) at www.eyeeco.co.uk/shop

We successfully launched our Zen Cart online shop in July, bringing card payments to our online customers for the first time in 4 years! We also added Google Checkout at the same time, and now all of these payment channels work alongside PayPal that we have always offered online.

The experience of setting up a Zen Cart shop was a little over-whelming to begin with! But once we got underway with the design, we started to understand more of the technicalities, and now we wouldn't be without it - it is very easy to keep up to date, with loads of features and functionality. We are very happy to recommend Zen Cart to anyone looking for an e-commerce solution.

Google Checkout proved to be one of the stumbling blocks on our new shop - they withdrew the %age discount functionality from the UK market, so that we have to run 2 discount streams whenver we have an offer going. Google Checkout does have its good points, though, among them the lack of fees for Adwords clients: they allow you to receive £10 income for every £1 spent on Adwords before charging you any fees, and they don't charge for withdrawals under £50. It would just be great if they would re-introduce the %age discounts again!

We also successfully launched a campaign to get local Distributors around the UK for our Heat Packs, while giving them the option to take our Eye Eco products too. We have also started looking further afield into Europe, with possible Distributors in Slovenia and Slovakia: we welcome enquireies from other parts of Europe keen to take on Heat Packs and Eye Eco. You can find details about being a Distributor at www.distributor.instantheatpacks.co.uk

We would like to thank all of our customers for the ongoing patronage, and wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year.

Limited Company Status!

2008-01-15T10:59:00.000Z

Due to the successfull re-branding in summer 2006, The Real Heat Pack Company went Limited in late 2006. The reason for the late posting is that we have been so busy for the last year that we haven't had enough time to updaste the blog!
We launched the re-branded website, and that has just undergone a major revision to create a better style, look and interface for users. This latest version went live in December 2007.

The Company also added a very exciting product range in July 2007: Tranquileyes Eye Hydration Products from Eye Eco Inc.in California, with the sole UK distributions rights. The relationship with Eye Eco began when we produced the small heat pack (Thermoeyes) for their fantastic Tranquileyes range, and we have been working closely with them ever since to bring the products to the UK market. More information can be found at http://www.eyeeco.co.uk/ and at our Eye Eco blog at http://www.eyeecouk.blogspot.com/.

Our Heat Pack product range took on a pace during 2007 with the introduction of fully branded products: we now have 4 permanent sizes of heat pack in our range: Hand Warmers, Palm Pals (shaped like a hand, and medium in size), Foot Pals, which come in pairs, and Neck & Shoulder Packs. The details and uses of these great products can be seen at the relaunched website, http://www.instantheatpacks.co.uk/.

Now, in January of 2008, we are looking for others to share in our success with the heat packs: we want to find distributors across the UK, people who are looking either for a good part time income, or who want to build a full time business as we have done. We are not looking for a major investment, just £97 (+£10 p&p): details are available at http://www.distributors.instantheatpacks.co.uk/. Another new website for us!!

The Real Heat Pack Company has arrived!

2006-08-10T09:58:00.000Z

The Real Heat Pack Company

The BenTasha Group has re-launched their heat & therapy packs under the new name of The Real Heat Pack Company. The previous branding, just BenTasha, didn’t give a sensible view of the product. The new name gives a much clearer indication of what the product is. The Heat & Therapy Packs themselves are still the same high quality products that you have come to expect from The BenTasha Group, and are quite capable of demonstrating their own usefulness.
The Heat & Therapy Packs fulfil a number of tasks from simply supplying heat at a cold moment to providing powerful relief from pain. They can even be used chilled as a cold compress for sprains and twists. They are also versatile as they don’t require an external heat source to ‘power them up’: they can be activated anywhere, just by clicking a small metal disc inside the pouch. The current range includes a fantastic Neck & Shoulder pad that, at 18” wide, can sit easily across most shoulders, and has a central flap that sits up the neck, giving relief over a large and often painful area.
The Real Heat Pack Company offer both a retail and a wholesale service, the latter of which includes a great design service for those wanting to have their own branded Heat & Therapy Packs. Marketing agents are using this service for their clients as promotional items. Therapists and therapy product retailers are also making good use of the service, and some of their products are even featured on network shopping channels.
Customer feedback about the products has always been very good, most people just being amazed at how quickly the heat pack heats up. The new name for the company has also met with great approval from customers and marketing people too.
The Real Heat Pack Company remains very firmly within The BenTasha Group, but allows the products to have their own identity within the whole group.
The products can be seen at www.instantheatpacks.co.uk or directly at www.thebentashagroup.co.uk where you can also find information about the other parts of The BenTasha Group, products and services designed to help promote a healthier body and mind.
For further information about The Real Heat Pack Company, or indeed any part of The BenTasha Group, please feel free to contact Mark or Lorna.

New Service Offered by The BenTasha Group

2006-05-16T11:01:00.000Z

We have now launched our new service: we now offer a design and make service for your own heat packs! If you would like to sell your own heat packs, or perhaps offer heat packs as a promotional item, we can now provide you with a full service, from deciding on size, shape and design through to delivery to your distribution centre. We take care of all the import side, and you get a finished product, ready for market or promotion. The heat packs don't need to be standard sizes, as we can arrange for specials to be made easily, maybe featuring your 'theme', such as football shaped for clubs, or torso shaped for therapists! The heat packs themselves are fully printable on both sides, full colour, and the packaging can be fully printed and, indeed, designed for you. Call Mark on 0845 430 9684/01442 248122 or email mark@thebentashagroup.co.uk for more information.

We are also pleased to offer wholesale prices on our existing stock should you not want to have your own branding, or high level stock holding. Contact Mark for details.

New Heat Packs arrive at BenTasha

2006-04-30T11:03:00.000Z

We have recently received our new stock of heat packs: we still have our very popular hand warmers, but we now also have palm shaped pads for holding over localised pain or for gloves and boots, and also large neck and shoulder pads which go right across the shoulders with a flap to go up the neck. These new heat packs are proving even more popular than the hand warmers, and are flying off the shelves! To view the range, please visit www.thebentashagroup.co.uk/heatpacks.htm.

We have also launched our Neways website at http://www.Neways.co.uk/bentashacomplementarytherapies, afantastic range of non-toxic personal care products.

Lorna will be happy to talk to you about the products on 0845 430 9684 or by email to lorna@thebentashagroup.co.uk.

PurePout: The Brand New Collagen Lip Plumper

2005-09-19T09:41:00.000Z

We are very proud to announce the arrival of
PurePout by PureLogicol.

PureLogicol officially launched all their new branding at The Professional Beauty Show at Earls Court last week, which included the actual launch of PurePout, the amazing high quality new Lip Plumper. The BenTasha Group were also at the show, and helped with the launch on their stand too:
Great looking lips starts here
If you’re looking for sexy, plump lips without injections, then PurePout by PureLogicol has the answer. PurePout contains a gentle lip exfoliater and an effective lip plumper that when combined give your lips that full, healthy, smooth, sensual pout you’ve always desired. Our cooling, gentle exfoliater contains fine micro-beads to remove dead skin cells whilst the active ingredients collagen, hyaluron, vitamins & amino acids boost the lips cellular renewal process. Fine lines are reduced; lips are moisturized as the unique formulation gets to work giving you a smouldering, sensual pout.
How does it work?
PurePout contains active ingredients which create a safe reaction to increases blood flow to the lips surface. This allows the lip matrix to expand. The transdermal influence of collagen, amino acids and hyaluronic acid enhance lip volume.
Apply PurePout 2-3 times per day or as desired.
How long will it take to work?
PurePout is instant. Within 60-90 seconds of application the capillaries dilate and blood flow to lip area increases. Then simply apply your preferred colour and gloss.
You may experience a tingling sensation on your lips, this is normal, (and lets you know the plumper is working) this will subside momentarily.
N.B. Over time with repeated use the tingling will diminish, however PurePout is still as effective

The New PureLogicol Range

2005-08-29T13:29:00.000Z

In June of this year, PureLogicol launch their re-branded range of collagen products. Gone are the sickly sweet pink colours, and in comes a professional black and silver design, which complements any salon ranges perfectly.
Alongside the re-branding, the Velvet Serum was updated to use only vegetable collagen, making it suitable for vegetarians and also saw the removal of parabens, colours and perfumes.
The Face Mask Kit can also be used without the additional capsule collagen to make it suitable for vegetarians.
The re-branding came about as Jasper Conran joined the board of PureLogicol and set about improving the brand, which is now proving to be extremely popular in salons across the UK.
The BenTasha Group will be showing and demonstrating the range at The Professional Beauty Show at Earls Court in September, together with the official launch of a new product in the range.

The BenTasha Group

2005-08-13T09:49:00.000Z

The BenTasha Group is a partnership between husband and wife, Mark & Lorna Evans. The company has been running is various froms for 5 years, although children, bereavement and education took a slice out of the middle: the company was re-vitalised, including the new name, in 2004 with the introduction of the PureLogicol range of non-surgical collagen products. We were already selling Ecoflow magnotherapy range, and later in 2004 we added the Heatpacks to our range. We have since, during 2005, also included Nikken magnotherapy and far infra-red products to our range, and included them all under BenTasha Complementary Therapies.
Mark & Lorna both have a strong customer service background, Mark mainly with the Post Office, and Lorna through print. Lorna gained her B.Sc (Hons) in 2003, from The Open University, after a few years of part-time study. In 2000, just as the company was getting off the ground, Benjamin arrived, with Natasha following in 2002 ("BenTasha").

We chose to offer the PureLogicol range of collagen products as they achieve fantastic results in personal care without resorting to surgery: Collagen is the most abundant protein in our body, accounting for 85% of skin, muscle and connective tissue. From the age of about 25, however, collagen levels start to deplete at a rate of about 1.5% every year – until the age of 40, when the body stops manufacturing it altogether!! The Body Supplement (in capsule from) helps to restart the natural collagen production within the body. The more direct route to results is to use the Face Mask kits and the Velvet Serum, which apply collagen straight onto the skin, with a noticeable effect on fine lines and wrinkles.

The Heatpacks were a bit of a surprise to us: we were not particularly aware of them, but once we had been introduced, we were so impressed with them that we took them on immediately, and haven't looked back since. The Heatpacks are made from tough PVC pouches (made by the same people as make blood bags) containing a hydrolysed salt solution - no dangerous chemicals - which releases energy in the form of heat through crystallisation, so no need for a microwave, making it possible to activate them anywhere!! They are also re-useable, which makes them very sound economically as they cost little more (sometimes less) than disposable heatpacks.

We have also chosen magnotherapy as a product range: it has long been accepted that magnets have a powerful effect, allong with copper bracelets, and the Ecoflow range makes effective use of it. There are products for the person, the home, cars, and even for your pets!
Along side Ecoflow, we also sell Nikken products. Nikken also used magnotherapy, but combines it with far infra-red and other sciences to a great effect. There are also collagen based products from Nikken, which complement nicely the PureLogicol range. Nikken products have been used very successfully by sport stars, increasing their performance without chemical intervention.

I hope that we have been able to give you a brief insight into our business, based in Hemel Hempstead, just north of London, and we would very much welcome your visit to our website, which hopefully provides more information than I have included here!

Thanks for your time - lookout for more information soon!
Mark & Lorna Evans.
