5 Great Reasons to Wrap Your Company Vehicle

Many business owners and employees are always out and about in a company vehicle. So why not maximize your marketing exposure at the same time? Custom vehicle wraps can be a valuable marketing tool that is also cost effective. You can get your business noticed while it is on the road or parked when you have an attractive and appealing vehicle wrap. Here are 5 great reasons why you should consider wrapping your company vehicle:

1. Budget Friendly – The cost of high quality vehicle wraps is very affordable. When created with effective graphics and a strong call to action statement, they work as an effective, long term marketing tool.  The wrap itself will last for years, while continually increasing your marketing exposure. 

2. Non-Stop Advertising – A vehicle wrap will continue to advertise every moment your vehicle is driven or parked in a visible location.  Your vehicle advertising wrap is like having a marketing rep working for you all the time. 

3. Easily Removed – Wraps can be removed when YOU want.  This is a valuable added convenience. If you decide to trade in your vehicle, the wrap will not affect your trade-in value because it can easily be removed. 

4. Generate Excitement – Vehicle wraps can help your business create a buzz. Well-designed graphics will grab the attention of consumers and potential clients everywhere you go.

5. Builds Your Brand – This type of creative advertising can really help to build your brand in your target geographical markets. Consumers can more easily identify with your business and recall important information about you when they see your name and brand repeatedly.

We specialize in vehicle and advertising wraps at ASAP Signs.  We create vehicle wraps that are attractive, durable and eye-catching.  We work with local Marietta and Atlanta businesses to help them elevate their marketing and branding. Call us today to learn more or to place your order.

What to Consider Before Having a Custom Sign Made?

Custom signs are serious business when you consider the impact (or lack of) they make. You really want to think carefully about all possible aspects of your sign project before starting it. Here are some questions you will want to ask yourself before having your custom sign created.

1.       What is the goal for your sign? A sign is a great opportunity to bring in business and drive sales.  Do you want your sign to just identify your location or drive sales (or both)?

2.       What is your budget? Signs can be all price ranges from $50 to thousands of dollars.  Knowing your budget will help determine your options.

3.      Who is going to design your sign? Sign design is critical.  You need to decide if you are going to hire a professional or put together your own design?

4.       What are the copyright laws involved? You have to consider copyright laws.  Be careful not to infringe on any copyrights when creating your sign.

5.       Will you need to obtain your permit or will your sign company take care of permitting? All outdoor signs/banners require sign permits.  This is critical to look into ahead of time.

6.      Where are you going to place your sign? Location is key.  What’s the point of having a sign made if it is not visible to traffic? You also need to ensure you are following sign ordinance laws.

Your Sign Reflects Your Brand | Sign Company Marietta

Your brand is everything and everything is a part of your brand.  This applies to everything from a fancy website to the very roots of your business: the front door.  Even businesses that don’t rely on customers on site or foot traffic have committed to presenting their brand at their doorstep.  The best and most important way to express your brand is with a new or updated sign for your business. 

When considering new signage for your business, you must follow the same principles of design and graphic work that you might with any aspect of your marketing.  Whether you are a small business or a large franchise, you wouldn’t just find a picture or a font on the internet and send it over to a signage company.  If you are considering a new or updated sign for your business, please consider the following factors for your purchase.

1)     Consult a Professional - Contrary to what your budgets or management might tell you, design work is not easy or cheap.  It is not possible to just print a logo or put a sign together in a Word document and send it to the printers for high quality work.  The first step to proper, attractive signage is to consult the professionals who can work with you or your design team to produce the highest quality signage possible.  From initial consults, acquiring quotes or learning the limitations of your designs (and budget,) a signage professional can help you find the best route for your business.

2)     Mind Your Neighbors – Many buildings that businesses lease from come with rules and regulations that businesses must follow, much like an HOA for a condo.  If you’ve ever seen a strip mall or business lot where every business has the same font or color above the door, this is because of leasing regulations in that area.  Before wasting your time and energy on a brilliant design, consult with your landlord to determine what kind of signage you can place on the property.

3)     Budget Before Commodity – One of the biggest mistakes business owners make, especially in small businesses, is not budgeting properly for something like signage work.  You get what you pay for and the old adage certainly applies here.  If you want an engaging, standout sign that attracts customers to your door, you must be willing to pay for it.  If you follow step one and consult a professional early, you can get a great idea of the kind of work you can expect at various price points.

4)     Be Open Minded – Perhaps the most important thing to consider is that in business, much as in life, not everything is going to go according to plan. Limitations outside of your control - such as building code restrictions - may alter your original design. However, if you’ve followed the steps above, you will likely end up with a sign that is perfectly suited to your building, needs and brand. 

Always remember that with the help of design professionals, smart planning and a healthy attitude, you can find the perfect signage for your building, advertising or lot.  With the proper steps taken, your business or franchise can ensure that your brand extends to the starting place of your own business: the front door.

5 Common Mistakes in Signs and How to Avoid Them

A sign is about making an immediate but lasting impression. You want the viewer’s eye to be quickly drawn to it and to remember the details it communicates. A good sign could be the difference between gaining a customer or losing one. But if you don’t think through all the details, your sign can miss the mark or leave the wrong impression. While planning your company’s sign, make sure you avoid these five common mistakes.

1. You’ve placed it too high!
Good signage is all about meeting sightlines. Your sign needs to be placed at the appropriate height for the settings. Should it be seen from the highway? You need a pole sign or high-rise sign to clear surrounding buildings and trees. Is it street level? It needs to be low enough to be seen by pedestrians and motorists. Placing a sign too high lets potential customers walk or drive by right under it.

2. You’ve camouflaged it!
A sign also needs to stand out from its surroundings. Research the placement of your sign and its background. Will your backdrop be natural surroundings? Avoid greens and browns, and choose bold, bright lettering. Think also of the angle of your sign, and make sure it’s placed perpendicular to viewers’ trajectory, so the sign doesn’t blend into the façade of a building.

3. You’ve provided too much info!
What information really needs to be communicated to the viewer? Your company name, your website, your phone number, your logo? When you try to fit all of these things into one sign, you can end up communicating, well, nothing to the viewer. He or she will be too confused about where to look to truly remember any detail whatsoever.

4. You chose the wrong color or font!
Believe it or not, fonts have a personality. Some appear warmer or colder, some are better suited to restaurants while some are more appropriate for landscaping businesses. Certain fonts may look good on paper, but they don’t translate to a larger format. Your color palette is also very important; the wrong blend of font and background colors prevents your name or logo from standing out. Professional designers can help you choose the right colors and fonts for your sign.

3. Work vans – A business van wrap is a great, durable way to brand your vehicle for your business.
