Sticker advertising is a unique, and yet, very powerful way to get your brand out there. Not only is it cost effective, but stickers are also for long term use, which works very well for branding your business. The good news is you can adapt vinyl stickers to suit any style you choose, all you need is a little bit of out the box thinking to get your message across the best way possible.
As long as you have a flat dry, smooth surface, there are plenty options available for where one can place vinyl stickers. Their dynamic nature, makes it easy, and provides more options for out of the box marketing strategies, since you can make stickers of almost any size, and basically, any shape you can think of. If for advertising your business brand, where you place stickers would have to be carefully planned, as one needs to have a proper sticker strategy, otherwise your efforts would amount to almost nothing, or worst yet, they might back fire. Speaking of which, try to exercise some caution when handing out stickers, as you may never know where they end up, especially if distributing to children.
Since children like playing with stickers, and sticking them anywhere, it would be an advantage for greater distribution, compared to handing stickers to adults. The downside however, may be that the stickers, may end up on other people’s cars, shops or other property without their consent, and you may end up having calls from angry people, and in worst case scenarios, being sued for trespassing, or vandalism, all of which can negatively affect your brand, especially if people have to associate your business with the burden and frustration of having to remove your stickers from their property. There are also laws governing sticker placing, and in most parts of the world, it would be illegal to place stickers on municipal property, as this would be viewed as littering.
Back to the upside, you can place your stickers on places that are so unique, and would not otherwise be considered ad space. Also, stickers are more receptive than flyers if distributing to passers by. Sticker can be handed out at networking events as alternatives to/ together with business cards. You can also stick them to products,or accessories you sell, or repair, or just hand them to customers you serve.
