Do you want to try something new and unconventional for your marketing campaign? Are you tired of using posters, postcards and catalogs again and again? Try sticker printing instead.
Stickers are unappreciated and undervalued in terms of what it can contribute to the marketing strategy of your business. Often times, a sticker’s purpose in a company is only for labeling and signage. But stickers can be so much more than that.
Stickers attracts the attention of a wide audience
• Just like in postcards, a good sticker must be interesting enough to keep it from being thrown in the trash can. The difference between the two is that once a sticker is applied in visible locations such as cars, notebooks, musical instruments, even luggage. It has the capability to be visible and attract attention of other people as well.
• A good sticker design takes these two functions into account and takes advantage of both unique characteristics. You will know when a sticker is effective when it is striking from even a relatively close distance as well as legible from afar with the message being quick, clear and concise.
Stickers are fun and are not usually seen as promotional materials.
Even with a great concept and design, fliers, posters or postcards usually find themselves discarded and barely paid any attention to. People nowadays are wary of advertising and promotional materials that are given to them on a daily basis.
• One of the biggest strength of a sticker is that it is not usually viewed as a promotional tool. That is why when a person finds your sticker interesting, they readily apply it to surfaces they see fit – adding it to a collection, a composition of stickers, or accentuating the design of the surface. In this way, the aesthetics of your stickers alone can provide free advertising for your company.
Even the back has its uses
In sticker printing, you can choose not to leave its back side blank. You have two sides to use so might as well use both right? Here are some suggestions on the things you can do with the back side of the sticker:
• You can have sales coupons printed on the back side of your stickers. When you are selling a particular product, a nice way to entice a potential buyer is by giving them several offers that give value to their money.
In using this strategy, you are effectively killing two birds with one stone. You are promoting and re-enforcing your company’s image with the front side while selling your products on the other.
Reinforce your marketing activities and tactics
Draw up stickers that would be similar lottery tickets your clients can peel open and reveal a reward. This makes stickers a promotional tool unlike other. You can make your clients more interested in acquiring your stickers, probably, in coincidence with buying certain products or certain amounts and so on.
Disregard the stereotypes and throw away the your preconceived notions on what stickers should be. Instead, open your eyes to possibilities and see how sticker printing could help you to rise above your competitors.
