  • All Access: Becoming A Rolling Billboard for Business

    Why settle for stationary advertising? Take your message with you wherever you go with our vehicle magnets!

    Have you ever had an elite concert connection? Occasionally, if you were very lucky or knew someone who knew someone, you might score a backstage pass to meet the band after the show. But very few people outside the musicians’ entourage are granted “all-access”, which allows you to wander at will among the worshipped. For rock fans, such a pass is somewhat akin to an all-access badge to the White House.

    However, with a little creativity you can create an “all access” environment for your business, so customers and potential customers can learn about you and what you offer anywhere, any time. No, we’re not talking about the Internet, but the outer net: connecting with the web of life all around you, akin to an all-purpose backstage pass, or Doctors Without Borders. Take a tip from Tim (name changed), who uses his motorized wheelchair to advertise his math and English tutoring services with a sign affixed to the back of his chair. Without driving a car, he’s a personal “rolling billboard” for his brand. As he rolls through town, kids and parents (many of whom he knows, since he’s been a community fixture for decades) can’t help but smile at this unusual use of signage. He may not be driving a car, but he’s certainly come up with a “magnetic” use of a sign!

    Vehicle magnets are a fabulous way of turning your vehicle into a rolling

    No need to restrict your advertising methods!

    billboard — regardless of what type of vehicle you drive. Like Tim’s magnetic motorized wheelchair, you can devise ingenious ways to market your products or services. Our long lasting, attractive matte magnetic material is 3mm thick, with a special plastic coating on the side that adheres to your car (or truck, or wheelchair…) to prevent paint damage.

    So turn magnetic marketing on its ear, and develop your own version of an “all access” vehicle. While we can’t promise it’ll admit you backstage to meet your favorite band, everyone who sees it will admit you’re a creative business owner — and that’s the kind of person others like to do business with. If you’re this imaginative in marketing your own business, who knows what you’ll be able to do for them?

  • Color Combinations for Yard Signs

    Have your ever walked by yard signs for a business and completely ignored them because you couldn’t read what it said? All of us have done it, and you think to yourself, “Why even have the sign up?” Unfortunately the reason you are unable to read the signs is simply because the color combination is just not a match made in heaven. Even though the rainbow is beautiful and has all the colors under the sun, one should not think their sign should appear as a rainbow.  We always get asked by customers what are the best color combinations for business yard signs or campaign signs. We have compiled a list of the good, the bad and the ugly. The main thing to ask yourself when picking colors is what would look good together at a distance of ten feet or more? If you know at that distance light green and yellow will blur together, it’s best to go in a different direction.

    Below we have screen printing color combinations that will make your customers stop and read and others that will have them just walking on past.

    Good:good color sign

    • Blue and yellow on white material
    • Red and blue ink together
    • One single ink color on white material
    • Good Primary Ink colors: Navy Blue, Blue, Forest Green, Green, Burnt Orange, Orange, Red, Maroon, Purple, Brown, Black
    • Good Contrast Ink colors: light blue, teal, light green, yellow, pink, grey, white(only an ink color on yellow material. Doesn’t cost extra on white material)

    Bad: bad colors on sign

    • Pink on yellow material
    • Light green on yellow material
    • Purple on yellow material
    • Navy Blue on Black inks on any material
    • Purple on Black inks on any material
    • Forest green on black inks
    • Light blue as primary ink color (supposed to be a contrast color)

    On your next purchase of yard signs keep these color combinations in mind and see if you get different results. You may just see a perk in sales just from your selection of colors.

  • Be Easy To Find: Business Cards and Business Card Magnets

    You know the drill: you’ve looked everywhere for that scrap of paper where you jotted down an all-important phone number. If only you’d programmed it into your phone. Oh, how frustrating…

    Not if you have a business card magnet…

    Business card magnets are perfect for home or office. Your customers will probably stick the magnet on their refrigerator door, which means when it’s time to call the vet, the hair stylist, the personal chef service, or any business that delivers to the home, your contact information is right there.

    Business card magnets also serve as a reminder to use your service. Your potential customer might be stuck on the exact name of your company, yet be thinking, “Gee, it would be great to see if that family catering place could come up with a creative spread for our family picnic.” On the other hand, if there’s a business card magnet on the fridge or filing cabinet, they’ll be on the phone with you, pronto.

    And Business car magnets go hand-in-glove with printed business cards. These days, when websites are becoming as de rigeur as cell phones, it’s easy to overlook a paper promotional product. Yet the best way to help someone you meet at a networking event remember your website is to give them a business card.

    While some companies offer standard business card templates, our business card are custom designed, so your card will be as unique as your company. Why blend in when it’s much more beneficial to stand out?

    So get your customized business cards and business card magnets- and get more business!

  • Follow The Signs To Sell Your Home

    Table of Contents

    When Dorothy set off down the Yellow Brick Road, she wasn’t trying to sell a home, but return to one. Yet the principle is the same: to sell your home, stay on track with a clear focus, and you’ll get where you’re headed.

    Real Estate Sign Basics

    Aluminum Real Estate Yard Signs

    Whether you’re selling your home yourself or through a real estate agent or broker, one of the first steps is placing a sign in your yard to show that the home is for sale. If you’re selling your home on your own, your real estate sign will say, “For Sale by Owner.” More commonly, however, are real estate signs that state the house is being sold through a broker or agent. In this case, the sign depicts the real estate company’s logo and the agent’s name and contact information.

    The Right Direction

    Like Dorothy and her Oz-bound companions, you want to point prospective buyers in the right direction. Directional signs are popular on weekends, when the bulk of home shoppers turn out in search of their new abode. Directional signs are placed at intersections to indicate a house that’s for sale up the block.

    By the same token, if you live on a remote country property, a directional sign can signal a lovely home for sale a few miles up ahead.

    Also, consider where your home is situated in relation to the strategic placement of your real estate yard signs. If you’re in the middle of a block, a single front lawn sign will be visible from either direction. If you have a corner lot, it makes sense to place signage on both streets to reach all prospective buyers as they drive past.

    Quality and Content

    Durable aluminum signs make the best real estate signs, because they hold up in all kinds of weather. And if your home doesn’t sell right away — or if you have a change of heart and decide not to sell for the time being — an aluminum sign will last for years.

    If you’re creating your own real estate sign, make it attractive yet simple: use no more than two colors, such as red on white, which is easy to read and professional in appearance. And be sure to include a contact phone number in boldface.

    Yard Signs, Online Tours and Ads, Oh My!

    Finally, remember that today real estate agents can usually create a virtual tour of your home, so potential buyers can view your house online. Combining a traditional newspaper ad and virtual tour with real estate yard signs can lead prospects rapidly down the road to your successful home sale.

  • Lawn Signs: A Simple Yet Powerful Way to Promote Your Business

    Table of Contents

    When it comes to marketing your business, you have countless options. From digital advertising to print media, every business owner is looking for the most effective and budget-friendly way to gain visibility. One of the most affordable and impactful marketing tools you can use is lawn signs. These signs are versatile, eye-catching, and easy to set up, making them a great option for businesses, events, and promotions.

    Why Lawn Signs Work

    Lawn signs are a cost-effective way to get your message in front of potential customers. Whether you’re launching a new business, promoting a sale, or advertising an event, lawn signs can help spread the word without breaking the bank. You’ve likely seen them during election season, but they serve many more purposes beyond politics.

    Durability & Materials

    Most yard signs are made from corrugated plastic, a durable material that withstands the elements. For a more flexible and cost-effective option, bag-style signs stretched over wire frames can also be used. Regardless of the type, choosing quality materials ensures that your signs remain in good shape for as long as you need them.

    How Lawn Signs Can Benefit Your Business

    1. Brand Awareness & Recognition

    If you’re just starting out, lawn signs help establish your brand presence. The more people see your business name, the more likely they are to remember you when they need your products or services.

    2. Promote Sales, Specials & Events

    Whether you’re running a limited-time sale, opening a new location, or hosting an event, lawn signs are a quick and effective way to spread the word. Unlike newspaper ads that only reach a limited audience, strategically placed signs along busy roads and intersections can attract hundreds or even thousands of potential customers daily.

    3. Flexible Placement Options

    Lawn signs can be placed anywhere—in front of your business, at your home, at community members’ homes, or in high-traffic areas. You can even partner with other local businesses to display your signs and extend your reach.

    4. Affordable & High ROI

    Compared to other forms of advertising, lawn signs offer one of the highest returns on investment. They require a one-time cost and continue to work for you day and night, delivering ongoing exposure at no additional expense.

    Best Practices for Using Lawn Signs Effectively

    • Keep the message short & bold – A clear, concise message is easier to read from a distance.
    • Use high-contrast colors – Make sure your sign stands out against its surroundings.
    • Choose durable materials – Ensure longevity and resilience to weather conditions.
    • Strategically place signs – High-traffic areas and locations where your target audience is likely to see them are best.

    Make an Impact with Lawn Signs

    If you’re looking for an easy, affordable way to increase visibility, lawn signs are a proven marketing tool. Whether for a business, event, or political campaign, they help get your message out quickly and effectively.
