How to Use Stickers and Labels as Marketing Tools
Savvy marketers and business owners know that stickers are one of the most versatile marketing tools you can use out there. Stickers are affordable, easy to produce, and fully customizable. If you’re thinking of using print stickers as part of your marketing collateral, here are several ways to get good results.
Promote Your Business With Stickers
Use custom labels and stickers to grab attention.
Stickers and labels are great for making a bold statement. You can use stickers on your other print marketing collateral like brochures, leaflets, flyers, or product catalogs. Your stickers can draw attention to the product’s features or an ongoing promotion.
On the other hand, professionally designed labels can help your product stand out when displayed on a store shelf. Use them to provide information about your product to help your customer decide on making a purchase.
Decorate your product to increase brand exposure.
Aside from packaging, branded custom labels can also be used to spruce up an otherwise plain shipping box. If you’re shipping food items, you can use logo stickers to seal your pouch or mailer box. When you use a branded sticker to seal or decorate your product for shipping, more people will see your logo and learn about your business.
Be memorable at trade shows with branded stickers.
If you attend trade shows, you know how hard it can be to stand out from other businesses. One of the ways you can generate traffic to your booth is by giving away stickers with relatable messages or designs to your attendees.
Branded stickers are a fun marketing material that can help you start a conversation with your visitors. Aside from the standard business cards, stickers are also a good way to introduce your brand to prospects.
Make sure that your design is fun and engaging but still relevant to your brand. Keep it appealing to encourage your visitors to decorate their personal belongings with it. Even a week or two has passed after the trade show ends, your attendees will still remember your brand when they see your stickers.
Turn heads with bumper stickers.
Printing custom bumper stickers to give away is great for promoting your brand. Some customers even purchase stickers to show their support for their favorite local shop or restaurant. For sports enthusiasts, it’s common to use labels and stickers to decorate their car, bike, ski board, or snowboard with their favorite parts and repair shop.
