Ivory Denture Clinic post sign “after”

Updating an old post sign can be an easy decision, but where there are strict regulations, it can get a little tricky.  Dr. Melissa Loucks at Ivory Denture Clinic knew it was time for a new sign when the old one started flaking, but the landlord would not allow for a new structure to be installed.  The biggest challenge was how to update the sign while sticking to the landlord’s rules – that is, without replacing the existing structure and not changing anything significant to the sign.

“We initially proposed a new vinyl post & rail sign system, but the landlord did not approve the change,” Signs for Success designer Vanessa Bogensberger said.  What finally got approved was to take out the old sign faces and replace with newly designed faces, as well as a new coat of paint for the post sign structure.

The old post sign faces were made of corrugated plastic and were brittle and flaking.  The new sign is made of 3mm PVC, which is smoother and will look good much longer.

Ivory Denture Clinic sign “before”

“When we pulled out the old sign faces, we found the rails were rotted, so we replaced them,” Vanessa explained.  “Then we primed and painted the structure to the new color and put in the new faces.”  This post sign makeover turned out great.  With a fresh coat of paint to match a fresh design, not to mention the repaired rails and more durable sign product, this office post sign will look good for many years to come.

“Guy Siverson from ViralTNTeam had us design vinyl car lettering to show that he is a freelance writer and that freelance writing paid for his car,” Signs for Success designer Vanessa Bogensberger said.  “He also had us design his oval business cards, which turned out great.”  Curved text over the wheels, and neon text on each side door and back hatch, is eye-catching and easy to read.  The simple yet compelling graphics advertise wherever Guy goes.

“Vanessa not only helped with the order but actually jumped into the trenches of ViralTNTeam with me as we brainstormed together what the end result would be,” Guy explained.  “I’ve had signs on my car before, but I have never received a call on the first day that the signs went live.  Thanks to everyone at Signs for Success—your friendly service, high quality value, attention to detail and timeliness within delivery makes you a clear winner in my book.”

Vinyl Car Lettering enhances any marketing strategy.  Here’s how:

  • It’s cost effective. Vehicle graphics boast the highest ROI (return on investment) of all outdoor advertising mediums.  Car lettering and wrap graphics generate a 97% recall rate among viewers.  Bottom line: people remember, trust and act on vehicle advertising.
  • Vehicle graphics advertise 24/7. Your car gets noticed everywhere you drive and park, providing valuable advertising space and time.  Take your advertising exactly where you want to be seen, and if you have errands to run, take comfort in the fact that your advertising never stops working.
  • Car wrap vinyl lasts several years. We use intermediate or high performance vinyl, depending on your needs.  For short term advertising, intermediate vinyl is perfectly adequate.  For car lettering that will last more than a few years, up to 12 years, high-performance vinyl is the way to go.

Our experienced design team can bring your vision to life, whether you want simple car lettering or a full vehicle wrap.  Signs for Success is a locally owned family business in Spokane, and we strive for excellent customer service, perfect color, and quick turnaround on every project.  Our large production facility allows us to design, print and install everything in-house.  Get quality service and a quick turnaround on vinyl car lettering; contact us for a free quote today!

Contractors starting up a new business, or just trying to revamp an existing one, should consider their brand positioning.  Whether the business is multi-tier or just a one-person contractor, building a brand goes hand in hand with gaining customers and building a local customer base.

Contractors can find their brand identity by cueing in on anything that defines their company, including products, services, warranties, guarantees, customer service, and ideals.  What can your business offer that others in the area cannot?  What is the customer perception on your product or service?  Once you’ve identified your branding strategy, you’re ready to market it.

There are many ways to advertise your business, but the key is to keep branding consistent no matter what type of marketing or signage you choose to use.  Just one slogan rather than several and the same colors and logos throughout is a must.  These are the three most essential contractor advertising ideas we recommend:

  1. Promotional Products

Contractor promotional products keep advertising for as long as they are useful, which means up to years of promotion.  Nifty items like pens, notepads, Nalgene water bottles, and Frisbees are just a few examples of promotional products customers will come back to again and again.

Mr. Rooter Plumbing’s clever toilet paper promotional item will not be soon forgotten by its users.

In addition to fun and creative promo items that might be specific to your industry, for any type of contractor, we recommend refrigerator magnets.  Whenever you service someone’s home, before you leave, stick your magnet on their fridge with a couple of business cards and a brochure listing all your services.  They’ll know just who to call next time, and they’ll have quick access to your number if they want to recommend you to someone else. Your Signs for Success account representative can help you with selection and pricing or you can browse anytime at our Promotional Products Store.

  1. Professional Business Cards

Business cards are like promotional products – they are the traditional leave-behind tool that many customers have come to expect.  Many people keep them on hand for future reference.  Make your card easily recognizable by keeping colors and graphics consistent with your contractor business branding.  Give a few cards to happy customers so they can pass them on.

  1. Vehicle Wraps

Dodge Ram Vinyl graphics

Prime Pest Control Truck Graphics

You’ve invested in service vehicles, now use them!  A truck wrap for your work truck(s) or van fleet wraps are a great use of space you already own.  All that is required is a one-time investment for a wrap that will last 5-7 years.  According to research, just the fact that your signs are on your vehicle rather than a board or post in the ground generates more interest and recall rate among viewers, and vehicle wraps can generate up to 70,000 impressions per day!  To top off your truck wrap or van wrap, consider business card holders that can be directly attached to either side of the vehicle.  Potential customers can lift the top and take a business card with them.

These 3 contractor advertising ideas will work together to create a positive lasting impression with your target audience.  Let us help you create promotional items, business cards, and vehicle wraps to build your brand and your customer base.  Signs for Success is a locally owned family business in Spokane, and we strive for excellent customer service, perfect color, and quick turnaround on every project.  Our large production facility allows us to design, print and install everything in-house.  Get quality service and a quick turnaround on your contractor signs; contact us for a free quote today!

10 Trade Show Booth Design Tips

Research shows you have about 3 seconds to catch someone’s attention at a trade show.  There may be hundreds of exhibitors at a show, so how will your booth stand out?  When it comes to attracting viewers, it’s all about trade show booth design.  Just like any sign or vehicle wrap, when it comes to your trade show booth, you need to get your message across in a simple, clear and creative way.  When you drive down the highway, billboard after billboard appears in your view.  What makes you read some and not others?  Bold colors, an enticing image, a catchy phrase?  Here are 10 tips that will make your trade show booth design even more effective:

  1. Every trade show booth should have a large visual backdrop.  This is the largest graphic space and the place trade show attendees will look first for information.
  2. Make sure your design is centered on one large image (as opposed to many small ones or lots of text).
  3. Win a Toyota, sponsored by Avista and Krem2 TV, backdrop for tradeshow display, printed fast by Signs for Success, Spokane

    Your image should reflect a single focal point of your business.  A fence company at a Home Show should use a large picture of a popular style of fence they supply as their backdrop, but not all companies have such an obvious solution.  Think about your products or services.  Is there one image that describes what you can offer?  Is there an image current customers already know you by or associate with your company?

  4. Your company name and other branding material such as logo or slogan should also be prominent in the trade show booth design.
  5. Use text sparingly.  Leave more detailed information for pamphlets and brochures.
  6. If text appears in the design, make it count by focusing on a few benefits of your product or service rather than just a list of your services.
  7. Be consistent with branding.  If your logo is green and gold, don’t design your trade show booth to be red and black.  You want your current customers to recognize you and new customers to remember you.  Consistent branding throughout materials and over time is essential to building your brand and brand recognition.
  8. A little white space is good.  White space, or negative space, is a portion of a design that is left unmarked.  However, white space is not merely blank space, but is an important aspect of aesthetic appeal.  White space can allow for creative image placement, adding style without demanding attention, and it helps keep things looking neat and professional.
  9. Keep table give away  branded items neat so they don’t distract from the overall design. Whenever possible have items displayed vertically in holders, not laying flat on the table.
  10. Get design help.  We have examples of trade show graphics in our showroom as well as catalogs to help you find the best solution for your trade show booth design.  Our design team will work with you to achieve the right design for your trade show booth.  We can create a design from logos and other artwork you supply – a successful design that will showcase your company effectively.

Looking for Custom Printing Spokane?

We can design and print business documents, posters, forms and brochures, and more.  Here are 7 printing projects to give your business a professional look:

Business Cards or Punch Cards

Whether you’re looking for simple one-color cards or double-sided full color gloss business cards, we deliver professional business cards with quick turnaround.  Custom design allows you to create perfect punch cards or discount cards for your customers.  Merle Norman Cosmetics had us design discount cards to promote skin care products during the month of October.  The single-sided gloss cards can be passed out to customers and handed on to friends and family.

Posters

Use posters to advertise an event, post goals or boost morale.  Posters are lightweight and easy to hang from the ceiling or in a window.  For a professional touch, frame your poster and hang it in a lobby or behind a desk.  Our heavyweight satin paper prints beautifully and can also be laminated for added durability.  Custom design and sizing will make your poster truly unique.

Letterhead with Matching Envelopes

Impress clients with professional letterhead and matching envelopes.  Even small businesses can make a big impression.  In addition, these work much like promotional items because they carry your logo and contact information and have a tendency of sticking around a while.  Standard white copy paper, bond paper, and linen are just a few of the paper options, with pricing per 250, 500 or 1,000.  Matching materials are available for envelopes.

Brochures

Use a three- or four- panel brochure to tell customers about your history or experience and list FAQs, highlights of your product or service, company information and more.  Finish if off with a strong call to action that will really get the phones ringing.

Notepads and Post-it notes

Custom color lined or un-lined notepads or post-it notes.  Pass them out around the office or hand them out to clients.  With your company logo, website and phone number in the header, clients will always have your information close at hand.

New Logo Design Unifies Custom Signs and Van Wrap

Pioneer Homes van wrap design featuring new logo, created by Signs for Success

We have the opportunity with many businesses looking for a fresh start, or new businesses just starting up, to create a logo design and brand image from scratch.  Working with the customer to achieve their vision is rewarding, especially when we get to see the final product – a complete advertising campaign utilizing the new logo across different media.  For Pioneer Homes, we helped create a new logo design and implement it into the production of custom yard signs, business cards and a van wrap.

Logo Design Spokane

Our experienced design team works with customers one on one to come up with a logo design that suits their company identity and goals.  “We came up with a new logo after many revisions.  Gil is thrilled with his new logo,” Signs for Success designer Vanessa Bogensberger said.  Logos are a shorthand way of referring to the company.  They are the “face” of the company, and they provide a standard and unified focus for the various fonts, colors and design choices in all other marketing materials.  As such, it’s important to take the time to work out a design that will convey that unique identity.

Pioneer Homes Yard Signs proof

Custom Yard Signs

Custom yard signs are a cost-effective way to advertise on and near properties you are working on.  The standard size for yard signs is 18” x 24,” but yard signs are customizable, including sign size, colors, text and artwork.  Vanessa was able to incorporate the new logo into the yard sign design while still maintaining a clean, easy-to-read design.  We print yard signs on weather-resistant corrugated plastic.  Printing can be single- or double-sided, and UV-curable inks hold up outdoors for several months, up to a few years, depending on weather and direct sun exposure.

Van Wrap Design

Vehicle wraps are regarded as the best form of outdoor advertising in terms of return on investment (ROI).  It’s a no brainer to use space you already own to advertise your business, especially when that space also travels to all the communities you want to advertise in.  Furthermore, vehicle wraps generate up to 70,000 impressions per day, and they last 5-7+ years.

“We used his own great photos from jobs he has done in the Inland Northwest as well as out in the Seattle and Western Washington area,” Vanessa said.  Using photographs from finished projects is a great idea – not only is your logo advertised wherever the vehicle goes, but proof of your expertise does as well.  When it comes to van wrap design, simple and bold is the way to go.  Too much text or lots of small photos are difficult to process quickly.  On the other hand, a large logo, large photo and contact information gives just enough visual impact without overwhelming.

Gil of Pioneer Homes was able to use the new logo across different media, from yard signs and business cards to a new van wrap.  Now with the cohesive look, Pioneer Homes is giving a great first impression wherever business takes them.  Signs for Success is a locally owned family business in Spokane, and we strive for excellent customer service, perfect color, and quick turnaround on every project.  Our large production facility allows us to design, print and install everything in-house.  Get quality service and a quick turnaround on logo design Spokane, custom signs and more; contact us for a free quote today!
