Custom Pop Up Canopy for our Texas Friends

/in , , /by

trade show custom table cover matches pop up canopy, designed by Signs for SuccessWell-designed trade show graphics make a huge statement, especially when you have just 3 seconds to catch someone’s attention.  This table cover and matching pop up canopy were custom designed for Scott Realty Group in Texas. They were a big hit at their event last month. The coordinating pieces made a great first impression and got lots of compliments as well.

This table throw and tent are so successful because they are simple.  The coordinating colors and graphics provide visual impact while the message is clear.  Some companies make the mistake of trying to include too much. This just creates clutter and confuses the viewer.  

A pop up tent offers easy set up and take down. In addition, it keeps folks cool and shaded from the Texas sun. Trade show table covers come in 6-foot or 8-foot lengths, and can be printed with one or two colors (for a simple logo or company name), or in full color to really maximize the visual impact.

“The tent and the tablecloth are amazing! We got so many compliments…We are over the moon pleased!” Kathy LaSalle from Scott Realty said.

pop up tent canopy for trade show in Texas designed by Signs for SuccessVanessa worked long-distance with Kathy to create this design. “I took her concepts and logo and produced the proofs with some options. Once we made the final tweaks and had proof approval, production went smoothly.  She had her items well in advance of her event,” Signs for Success designer Vanessa Bogensberger said, adding, “It helped that she ordered with plenty of time.” Our designers are responsive and knowledgeable about promotional products and trade show products. We can create a unique and effective design for your event, whether you need a pop up tent, booth, or other trade show display.

With the design in place, it’s easy to brand other items like promotional products, brochures, signs, and even vehicle wraps for a cohesive look.  The next project for Scott Realty will be full color presentation folders. What can we make for your next event?

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!

3 Non-profit Signs to support your cause

/in , , , , , , , , /by
YMCA used these and other life sized kid cutouts for an ad campaign at their clubs around Spokane, they are free standing and cut around the people, non-profit signs

YMCA life sized kid standees

Non-profits work hard to earn funds that will help achieve the organization’s goals. We work with several non-profits including United Way, Make a Wish, 2nd Harvest, YMCA, the Spokane Symphony, Isaac Foundation, and more.  We’ve created all kinds of signs for non-profits, but the three most common non-profit signs are corrugated plastic signs, special event banners, and promotional items.

Coroplast Signs

Corrugated plastic, or coroplast signs come in many different shapes and sizes.  They work well indoors or out and are a cost-effective means of getting a message across.  Some non-profit organizations have custom standees made in the shape of a person, animal, or goal thermometer.

Perhaps the most popular use for corrugated plastic signs by non-profits this past summer was for Golf Tournament Signs.  Golf tournaments are a great way to raise money, and we can supply hole signs, sponsor signs, and directional signs.  Like golf tournaments, charity runs, walks or biking events also use sponsor signs and directional and arrow signs to keep people on course.

These large banners installed in the Tri Cities for 2nd Harvest are huge! they are bungee corded to the custom frame

Large fence and wall banners for 2nd Harvest

Banners

Custom banners are another great way to attract attention to a non-profit’s cause.  Add details about your cause or an image that relates, and people are sure to take notice.  We print custom large banners, mesh banners, canvas banners, and vinyl banners.  Banners can be specified as double-sided or single-sided, with hem and grommets or with pole pockets.  A custom size can be specified as well. Banner stands display your banner indoors.  Outdoor banners can be hung with cord or installed on a pole or post.

Promotional Items

When it comes to promotional items, try to gear giveaways to your audience.  If your customer base largely includes young families, a bouncy ball with your name on it that can be given to children is a good bet.  Notepads or a planner to write lists down are great for adults who might have lots of activities to keep up with.

If possible, help people remember your cause by having a giveaway that’s related to your cause.  For example, a health or medical support organization could give away mini first aid kits, and an organization focused on helping people find employment could give away attractive, heavy duty folders for storing resumes or portfolios.

There are many other sign options available to non-profit organizations in Spokane and surrounding areas.  Signs for Success is proud to offer a 10% discount year-round to non-profits.  We are 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 non-profit signs; contact us for a free quote today!

When Spokane Symphony needs coasters in a day (or a week) Signs for Success delivers now, with high quality custom printed coasters, at affordable prices

Spokane Symphony Coasters made right here in Spokane

Custom printed coasters aren’t just for restaurants; they can be used at any business or promotional event for additional exposure.  Since we added full color drink coasters to our long list of promotional advertising options at the beginning of the year, we’ve seen many orders for these thoughtful special event favorites.

We started making drink coasters when one of our long-time clients was in a pinch with his regular supplier.  “It was just before Christmas, and his usual supplier was closing for two weeks around the holidays and could not deliver in time for their event on New Years’ Eve,” Signs for Success designer Vanessa Bogensberger explained.  “We called a few more of our vendors but received the same answer.”

Vanessa immediately began the search for a suitable material to print custom drink coasters on.  She collaborated with Signs for Success Production Manager Denise Gillit, and they came up with X-board.  “We decided to use X-board, which is very much like matte board for framing, and it’s a better quality product than most coasters are printed on,” Vanessa said.  “We were able to print the coasters full color, double sided for similar pricing as the ad specialty products, but we got a far superior product.”

Digitally printed single or double sided coasters on high quality matte board, full color, Spokane, fast serviceThese custom printed coasters were completed on time for First Night Spokane, a Spokane Symphony event, and our client Clint Burgess was thrilled with the result.  He ordered 4,000 double sided, full color coasters for his New Years’ event, and loved them so much that he has come back to order more every time they run low.  Custom drink coasters have become a regular advertising tool for Spokane Symphony.

Drink coasters are great for:

  • Special events
  • Fundraisers
  • Weddings
  • Restaurants
  • Bars

Clifford 80th Birthday Celebration Items

A drink coaster is a great place to advertise upcoming events, special deals, and contact information such as logo, website, phone number, and social media.  We can do single- or double-sided full color printing to really maximize the advertising space.  We now advocate our in-house custom printed drink coasters over other vendors because, as Vanessa says, “Our coasters are superior quality of both print and material, done locally, done more quickly, and at a very reasonable price point.”  It just doesn’t get any better than that!

Settlers of Catan custom printed game boards for groomsmen gifts

Settlers of Catan custom printed game boards for groomsmen gifts

These particular printed custom game boards were created for a groom-to-be with a love for Settlers of Catan.

“My son Jim just graduated from Gonzaga and will soon be stationed as an Army officer in Hawaii with his wife Hannah. They were married this past weekend and he wanted to make something truly unique for his groomsmen gifts,” Signs for Success owner John Bogensberger said.  “Since Jim has been working around the sign shop since he was a kid, he’s got a good feel for what we can do.  With our state-of-the-art design and printing technologies, we can come up with a solution for just about any project.  Even though it was our first time working on a project like this, Jim knew it could be done, and with style.”

Digitally printed wood game boards with shape cuts, custom game boards

Digitally printed wood game boards with shape cuts

Jim came up with the idea of printing the game on a thin 1/8” wood board and personalizing the games to each groomsman.  Signs for Success designers Vanessa Bogensberger and Will Oakley created the designs.

After purchasing raw wood, Jim applied a layer of clear finish to the entire printing surface.  Then the graphics were printed with our HP FB500 and covered with another layer of clear finish.  He then took the boards to Decade Awards where Ted & Adam laser cut the shapes out of the board.  Jim used transfer tape over the surface to protect the graphics from the laser.

Next, he printed a parchment background on the back side of Marine Grade vinyl upholstery fabric to give the fabric the look of Parchment.  On the face of the vinyl fabric Jim printed the cover and back, each of which were customized with a nickname and the event date. The custom game boards were then attached to the parchment side of the fabric.

Custom printed wood game boxes

To take it over the top, Jim decided to make custom wood game boxes that required a lot of cuts and finishing.  The custom game boards box lids were printed with our HP FB500.  Because the inks are translucent against a non-white surface, we utilized the white ink channel and put a layer of white ink, also called white ink underflood, under the graphic in order to maintain the color.

“There was no money in this project but it was great fun working with my son and learning new things that can be done with our equipment.  We learned we can laser cut wood after printing on it and we can print on both sides of the Marine Grade Upholstery fabric,” John said.  “Kudos to his mom and one of our designers Will Oakley for working out all the print and cut files. That alone took many hours.”
