Graphic Decals: Just Stick It To Me Baby

by by BRAVO SEO

I love stickers! Used to collect them. I remember having a couple of albums filled with Lisa Frank stickers---with the cute dolphins, fluffy rabbits and of course, the ever famous unicorns! (brings back memories, doesn��t it?) I learned to do business because of these stickers. ��I��ll trade my hologram panda for your puffy unicorn?�� Sounds familiar? How about this, ��two felt puppies for a pair of your dolphins?�� All of these took place back when I was in elementary. Now, I��m a bit older and a lot more mature (I hope). Still thinking about stickers, though. You may ask why I��m talking about Lisa Frank stickers, well, I mentioned this for the purpose of comparison with the topic at hand. LF and all her animal friends will have to put up a fight to win against graphic decals, specifically automotive decals. The latter will probably run over LF��s minions.
Anyway, let��s move on. For an average Joe, decals may mean putting a wee bit more attitude, a little more character to his ride. But for a business-oriented Joe, decal installation is equated to advertising.
Let��s start with custom car decals. Decals top of the line vehicle = one sweet ride! No doubt about it. A touch of flame, a dab of pinstriping or maybe a line from your fav song or quotation---this is your style and your personality draped all over. An affordable way to pimp your ride. Let��s face it, having an auto body paint is expensive---very expensive. I��d choose reasonable priced decals over a gran worth of airbrushing anytime. I remember seeing a decal with the Simpson Family in it. (Roll call: Marge, check. Lisa, check. Bart, check. Maggie, check. Homer, d��oh! Sorry can��t resist.) Perhaps the owner of said car likes the brand of comedy that the dysfunctional family brings. Or that he belongs to one, I hope not. There are other examples ranging from pleasant to downright profane decals. The latter, I can��t stand. Sometimes I just want to scratch the decal off the vehicle. All the same, you��ll be able to tell the character of the person through the decals that he proudly displays.
The Decal That is Advertising. What better way to advertise a local establishment than by making rounds all throughout town with a loudly-colored, in your face signage? Wait, let me rephrase that---with your loudly-colored, in your face signage? This is far more better than a static banner sitting atop of your building. Furthermore, you��ll be reaching individuals beyond your office block. You can opt to drive around during lunch break when everyone��s out buying their lunch. This is promoting product awareness with ease. Car window decals are often used for marketing. Huge truck-size decals or otherwise; DIY or professionally made---all of these stands as publicity.
One may decide to create his own decal. For your materials, just run to your nearest Wal-Mart and grab a lettering kit and a sheet of white stick-on material. But one should be keen to details. Colors, these are important. You want your business to be known. Try to steer clear from neutral hues, hieroglyphics-like font styles and words that are too compressed you can��t even identify a single one. If your business is in the food industry try to use colors that stimulates appetite. Red and Yellow stimulates hunger. You want living proof? McDonald��s and Wendy��s. That��s effective marketing for you. It won��t hurt if you do a little research for colors that will capture the senses of your target market. A catchy phrase won��t hurt either.
Or if you��re too tired to make your own, get help from a professional. Be sure to see their portfolio before hiring them, ok? Ok.
Before I end this article, I'd to impart a friendly warning. These items will certainly aid in promoting your business, but one must not slack for same does not assure sales. Remember that.
So, let your message out and proclaim to the world, or at least to your neighborhood, the existence of your establishment! Aja!
