New Scooped! website

Scooped! Limited launched its new website this week - and now YOU can create your own spoof newspaper front page in just 60 SECONDS.

Using the latest state-of-the-art technology, Scooped! customers can name a friend or loved one Christmas No1 or Mother/Father of the Year in the same time as it takes to make a cuppa.

The personalised newspaper and magazine gifts at Scooped! are second to none .. because they are all written and designed by real journalists.

Director James McIvor - a former Chief Sub-Editor at The Sun - said: "We have spent a lot of time getting our website just right and we are thrilled by how it looks and functions.

"Our customers now only need to provide very basic information like their name and age and upload a single image and their very own newspaper front page comes to life there and then.

"If they don't like that particular template they can click another and all their information transfers to that category.

"It couldn't be easier to use and it's great fun to see yourself on the front page of a joke newspaper."

The Scooped! team hasn't just been working on their new website - they have also been developing their finished product and now offer their fake newspapers in three different styles - a single sheet, a newspaper 'wrap' or a framed page.

James, 32 - who has also worked for the Sunday Times, News of the World and Sunday Mail - added: "There has been a lot of trial and error but the finished article is now spot on. The page size is the exact dimensions of a tabloid newspaper and we used recycle paper to give that off-white newsprint feel to the page.

"We have created generic back pages for each of our newspaper titles and if a customer orders a newspaper wrap they can insert a newspaper inside so it looks and feels exactly like the real thing.

"If they put their spoof newspaper on the kitchen table for the recipient to find in the morning, they really will think they are starring on the front page of a newspaper."

Scooped! regularly submit articles to www.articleset.com

Here is an example of one of our recent press releases here

The full article reads

At the last count there were three companies in the UK selling personalised newspaper gifts.

Unlike Scooped!, none of them can boast the experience of working in national newspapers.

One firm in particular has a huge budget and this has ensured that they have a real presence on the web and the customers that go with it.

Unfortunately for their poor customers they do not yet realise that there is something far better out there - but they soon will.

Where our rivals offer quantity, Scooped! offers quality.

They do not employ real journalists, they employ comedians. The owner of Scooped! has worked as a senior sub editor on Britain's best-selling newspapers for more than a decade and has a degree in journalism.

All Scooped! front pages are written and designed by real journalists which ensures a quality product entirely consistent with a real newspaper.
Our rivals wouldn't last two minutes in a real newspaper, there are huge white spaces in their headlines and the misuse of the exclamation mark would not be acceptable in any newsroom.

Our headlines are tight, concise, to the point and funny. Each page - and each individual order - is personalised to suit the needs of each individual customer. While our rivals use the same ads for every page our adverts are special to that particular category eg: A free Wedding Singer DVD on every spoof wedding newspaper; a free packet of Smarties on each personalised graduation newspaper and so on.

So if you are looking for a personalised newspaper or personalised magazine gift stick with the experts, stick with Scooped!
