Make your storefront stand out from the rest with banners. Perfect for grand openings, sales and special events, you can customize your banners to fit the occasion. Hanging up a banner can signal to people that something special is going on in your business.

Window Decals

Do you have people visiting or passing by your business on a regular basis? Then a window decal is a great way to add a little more advertising power to your marketing efforts. Some of the many uses for window decals include listing your business hours, displaying a menu and promoting a sale. Window decals can also be used on car windows and offer an affordable alternative to car door magnets.

Lawn Signs

Catch the attention of passersby with lawn signs. Need some ideas on how to use them? Try putting a special offer or sale on your sign to draw in more business. If your business is located off a main road, consider putting a sign on a street corner with an arrow pointing to your store. Lawn signs are also great for anyone who wants to showcase work they’ve done on a specific property, such as landscapers, construction companies and real estate agencies.

Posters

Hang up posters that feature special offers or events on bulletin boards around town to make an impact on the local community. When designing your poster, consider making it into a calendar which you can give away as a promotional item. This will have customers and prospects thinking of you year-round.

How about investing in a promotional product like T-Shirts? These inexpensive marketing tools are often overlooked, but can do wonders in increasing visibility for your business. Keep reading to discover three questions you need to ask yourself before getting started.

What Suits My Business and My Customer Base?

It’s always important to keep this in mind. You want to reflect your business while being relevant to your customer base. If your product affirms your brand image, you’ll communicate your reliability as a consistent brand. T-Shirts are a versatile promotional product because they suit a variety of different businesses. Whether you’re a spa, realty company or landscaping or construction business – these handy products make excellent giveaways that suit a range of industries.

How Can I Increase My Visibility and Earn More Revenue?

It’s important to remember that the information you include on your promotional T-Shirt is just as important as the T-Shirt itself. Always make sure to include your company name, logo, contact information and website address so customers will always have your information at hand. And to really up the ante, you can include a special offer or promotional discount.

How Can I Use T-Shirts Within My Business?

T-Shirts can work double duty for your business. If you think this promotional item can only be used for your external customers – think again! Improve the morale of your internal customers, or employees, by offering them a T-Shirt as an incentive for a job well done. Doing so will motivate your employees and demonstrate your dedication to them. Also, when your employees proudly sport your promotional T-shirt, they will also be walking brand ambassadors for your business. 

And don’t forget about company sponsored activities like outings, picnics, or other special events. Customized T-Shirts are a great way to promote the event while boosting company pride and publicity.

Get Started

Now you’re ready to boost your marketing portfolio! Keep in mind: promotional marketing doesn’t take a lot of time, energy or money. It’s so easy.  And with Vistaprint, you can cost effectively build promotional products like T-Shirts into your overall marketing plan with little hassle and money.

Car door magnets are the perfect example of inexpensive, yet hard-working advertising materials. Instead of getting a fancy paint job on your company pick-up truck or van, which can be a costly endeavor, consider creating a car door magnet instead. Car door magnets can help brand your vehicles so that you are recognizable to customers. At the same time, they can also make non-customers aware of your business. Because car door magnets at Vistaprint are so affordable, if they are able to bring just a few new customers to your business, they’ll have already paid for themselves.

While you’ll definitely want to brand any company-owned vehicles, if you work from home or want to do a little extra advertising on the side, you can use car door magnets on your personal or family car. No matter where you go – on the highway, in a parking lot, stopped at a traffic light, sitting in someone’s driveway – you’ll get exposure for your business. Best of all, car door magnets are non-stop advertising. You don’t have to keep paying someone else to run your ad and you don’t have to worry about someone “changing the channel.” They are simply out there for anyone to happen upon and read.

Make the Most of a Millisecond

Your car might always be on the move, so how do you ensure that your potential customers see you? To create an effective car door magnet, you’ll want to choose a design that not only reflects your business’s brand identity and industry, but one that will stand out and catch the eye of passersby. For instance, if you have a navy colored vehicle, you’re not going to want a car door magnet with a lot of navy in the design. Instead, choose opposite colors like white, yellow or orange to really make your magnet stand out. You will also want to include your logo for instant brand recognition.

Because car door magnets provide advertising on the move, many of the people looking at it will only see your signage for just a few seconds. This means you need to keep text to a minimum. Consider what you want potential customers to know the most about your business, then choose the top 3 or 4 things in that list and put those on your magnet. Often this information includes your company name, slogan, phone number and website.

For more round-the-clock advertising, try other forms of signage as well. Banners, lawn signs and window decals are other affordable marketing options that will help get the word out about your business.

1. Get Noticed. To drive business, it’s essential you make it easy for your customers to find you. In our highly mobile society, quality signs like car door magnets may be the first interaction a customer has with your small business. You don’t want to miss out on this opportunity to advertise your business! Placing a car door magnet on your vehicle will introduce your company in a manner which inspires customers to pick up the phone or visit your website – and they adhere to vehicles of any size.

1. 2. The Power of Non-Stop Advertising. Car door magnets work around the clock to advertise your business. On the road or even after a long workday is finished, your signage will be hard at work promoting your business and reinforcing your brand. This 24-hour exposure ensures that this inexpensive marketing tool never stops working on your behalf.

1. 3. Location, Location, Location. Even if your business isn’t in an ideal location, car door magnets erase this barrier. Since your signage will be constantly on the move, you’ll increase the chance that customers outside your normal geographic area will be exposed to your business. Signs function as visual cues for customers, and once they identity your business on the road, they’ll be even more likely to recognize your company once they arrive at your physical location.

And as always, creating car door magnets that match your company identity is key to building a consistent business image. This high-quality sign should be an extension of your other traditional marketing efforts such as advertising or direct mail. You can easily accomplish this by incorporating your brand image – try including your logo, color scheme and key messaging so customers can easily indentify your company. In doing so, you’ll send the message that your business is a credible, reliable establishment. What a great way to attract more customers with little hassle!
