KOLDING, Demark, Sept. 23, 2011 — Bestnet A/S today announced the international launch of their new "Show You Care" campaign. The new and innovative Netprotect® long-lasting insecticide incorporated mosquito nets (LLINs) being introduced are the only WHOPES recommended LLINs for malaria control that can be custom printed with a logo or message at an affordable price.
Netprotect® Customized Logo Nets are intended for purchase by aid agencies, NGO's, Public Private Partnerships, Faith Based Organizations and donor recipients involved in the worldwide Universal Coverage program to reduce the burden of malaria in pregnant woman and children under 5 years of age.
According to Trine Angeline Sig, Bestnet Managing Director, "The funding for Universal Coverage is presently in a state of flux as more and more country campaigns turn to NGO's and Public Private Partnerships to help fill funding gaps to reach Universal Coverage."
"The purchase of Netprotect® Customized Logo Nets can help organizations provide proof that the donor funds they are managing are being spent according to their donors' expectations. That is, visual proof can now be supplied to show that their use of donor funds is providing maximum impact on the communities being helped," continued Sig.
Netprotect® Customized Logo Nets maximize donor spending, as Netprotect® LLINs are made from polyethylene and last up to 5 years, almost twice as long as less durable polyester nets. Donor dollars can be dedicated to saving more lives, rather than replacing inferior nets that have a shorter life span.
Furthermore, donor recognition is high when employing Netprotect® Customized Logo Nets. The presence of a logo allows donor organizations to be clearly identified and can assist organizations in attracting new donors looking for ways to participate in malaria control efforts.
Added bonuses to the use of Netprotect® Customized Logo Nets include the fact that they can be used to easily trace distributed LLINs in surveillance and monitoring studies. In addition, customized messages can be imprinted that complement malaria education efforts.
Netprotect® LLINs themselves can be produced in any color desired with no effect on efficacy, and there are no limitations on the colors available for printing logos or messages. However, it should be noted that a dark print color on a light colored net will often yield the best visual result.
Bestnet has invested in state-of-the-art printing equipment that can do 1- or 2-color logo printing. The maximum size of a logo or message can be up to 55in W x 67in L (140cm W x 170cm L). There are no minimum sizes, as long as the text/logo is visible on the net.
In the case of intricate logo designs containing more than one color, Bestnet's in-house graphic designers are available to help you select the best sizes and color combinations that will have the greatest impact.
