Often, the primary goal of a sticker (or any promotional product) campaign is to engage with your audience while providing them with a gift they&#8217;ll use and appreciate. And, of course, working a little of your branding into it helps keep company and customer connected.</p>
  36. <p>A great example of this type of promotional product is Affirmation Stickers &#8211; stickers with positive phrases and words of encouragement that can be placed on mirrors, water bottles, laptops, notebooks, etc. as reminders to stay positive. At the same time, the sticker can also remind customers of a company&#8217;s positive attributes, to spread good vibes and strengthen relationships.</p>
  37. <p>Stickers with just a logo or name are usually not enough. Often, the best promotional stickers need to resonate with a recipient if they are to be applied somewhere and then repeatedly viewed into the future. To create the best odds of engagement and application, having multiple options to choose from on one sheet not only increases perceived value but increases usage. <a href="https://www.websticker.com/product/postcard-stickers-sheets/">Custom sticker sheets</a> present more choices thus increasing the chances of one of the stickers resonating and becoming a favorite that is held on to and displayed.</p>
  38. <p>Websticker has created Affirmation Sheets to be sold as product, given away to promote causes, brands, or lifestyles, or simply as feel-good gifts. Whatever the goal, Affirmation Sticker Sheets are a low cost way to stay connected with your market and spread positive messages &#8211; which we can never have too much of these days. For help with design ideas and custom pricing <a href="https://www.websticker.com/contact/">contact Websticker</a>. We&#8217;re here to help</p>

When you support a U.S. based business, it helps sustain and strengthen our economy. This has always been encouraged, but really has never been more important than it is right now.</p>
  65. <p>Websticker is headquartered in Stowe, Vermont. Our production facilities are in the Midwestern USA. All materials used in the production of our custom stickers, labels, decals and magnets are made and purchased in the USA.</p>
  66. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignright size-full wp-image-6532" src="https://websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/GillLine.jpg" alt="Sticker Manufacturing Plant" width="200" height="133" srcset="https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/GillLine.jpg 200w, https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/GillLine-24x16.jpg 24w, https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/GillLine-36x24.jpg 36w, https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/GillLine-48x32.jpg 48w" sizes="(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px" />Websticker also buys local whenever possible. If we can’t keep business within our own town and state we do everything we can to support the U.S. economy by keeping business in the country. It provides jobs, is better for the environment, guarantees quality materials and is a win-win for our economy.</p>
  67. <p>We certainly are not the only sticker company 100% U.S. based and U.S. consumers are lucky to have many great local printing options. We hope our dedication to customer service and the pleasure we take in where we live and what we do shines through in all our B2B wholesale design and printing work.</p>

We specialize in the latter &#8211; stickers for phones, laptops, webcam covers, smart speakers and other tech gear.</p>
  89. <p>Custom Tech Tattoos are popular for promotion with schools, colleges, security companies, tech companies, and any savvy businesses that see the value in keeping their brand front and center all day long. Tech Tattoos have an ultra removable adhesive for clean transfer or removability. White vinyl is the usual base material but tech stickers are also available on a frosty clear vinyl.</p>
  90. <p>Here are our most popular Tech Tattoo &amp; Tech Sticker options:</p>
  91. <p><strong>Sticker Sheets for smart phones or laptops</strong> &#8211; With <a href="https://www.websticker.com/product/postcard-stickers-sheets/">custom sticker sheets</a> you can deliver various sizes and types of stickers to customers and prospects. <a href="https://www.websticker.com/product/branded-laptop-stickers/">Laptop stickers</a>, smart phone stickers, water bottle stickers, car stickers&#8230; removable vinyl stickers can be stuck and promote anywhere (as tech stickers or not), inside and out.</p>
  92. <p><strong><a href="https://www.websticker.com/product/custom-webcam-covers/">Webcam Covers</a></strong> &#8211; Custom imprinting movable webcam covers are great for schools, security firms or any company that wants to show they are serious about online privacy and spying. Keep that name (or message) front and center all day long.</p>
  93. <p>At Websticker we’ve seen an uptick in orders for sheets of removable stickers being used to block cell phone cameras at exclusive clubs and special events. Paired with a code-of-conduct contracts signed upon arrival, branded stickers are applied by staff members to create camera free zones. Removal of the stickers or any attempts at photography result in dismissal from the club or event.</p>
  94. <p><strong><a href="https://www.websticker.com/product/custom-keyboard-stickers/">Keyboard Stickers</a></strong> &#8211; Customize keyboards with school letters and logos. These are very popular with schools and colleges but can also be used by other companies and organizations in creative ways.</p>
  95. <p><strong>Popsocket stickers</strong> &#8211; custom popsocket stickers can be included on sheets with other tech stickers</p>

  186. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Times-Roman;">I harp constantly on the need to think <a title="Small Promotional Stickers Increase exposure" href="https://websticker.com/blog/beyond-the-bumper-sticker-small-promotional-stickers-gaining-big-exposure-for-businesses/">beyond the bumper</a> when creating <a href="https://www.websticker.com/products/custom-stickers/">promotional stickers</a>. If you are looking to maximize impressions and impact you want stickers that are versatile and can be stuck in any number of locations (indoor and out) &#8211; especially where your target market will see them. For ski areas, being on cars is nice but being on helmets and equipment is essential as well. For bands, you want to be on guitar cases, equipment, bathroom walls, etc. (as well as cars). For business to business advertising you ideally want to be on laptop computers.</span></p>
  187. <p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-6597" src="https://websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/2712563.jpg" alt="VANCOUVER, BC: MARCH 18 , 2010 -- Cameron Herold, who charges companies $2,500 to put their banner stickers on the lid of his laptop which he uses for international speaking engagements, in Vancouver, BC March 18, 2010 (Photo by Nick Procaylo/ PNG) Shaw story [PNG Merlin Archive]" width="200" height="129" srcset="https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/2712563.jpg 200w, https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/2712563-24x15.jpg 24w, https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/2712563-36x23.jpg 36w, https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/2712563-48x31.jpg 48w" sizes="(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px" /></p>
  188. <p><span style="font-family: Times-Roman;">Don&#8217;t think that having a promotional sticker on a laptop is worth much? Way back in 2010 <a href="https://www.cameronherold.com/marketing/all-5-laptop-ad-spots-taken-more-offers-coming-in/">Cameron Herold was selling</a> sticker space on his laptop for $2500 a pop. He sold space on his cell phone as well. Obviously, in the right locations displayed by the right person there is a lot of value in putting a logo/sticker in front of a targeted market. </span></p>
  189. <p><span style="font-family: Times-Roman;">I&#8217;m not suggesting you sell space on your laptop (though you should consider it if you do a lot of travel and do speaking engagements) or that you pay to be on someone else&#8217;s laptop. What I am recommending is to be aware of the best locations, events, and target audiences and design promotional stickers that have the best chance of showing up and being noticed and perhaps talked about. That&#8217;s free word of mouth marketing &#8211; the <a href="https://www.websticker.com/blog/tools-generating-word-of-mouth-marketing/">most effective marketing available</a>.</span></p>
  190. <h3>Another Sticker Case Study</h3>
  191. <p><span style="font-family: Times-Roman;">Websticker worked on the creative and design for a sticker for Business Beware. Business Beware helps raise awareness of difficult to please customers, helps resolve payment issues, and offers a location for businesses to not just complain but do something about problem customers. A typical bumper sticker or car sticker would be of absolutely no promotional value in this case. We needed to create a sticker that had the best chance of getting in front of business owners, peeking interest and starting a conversation. So, we went with <a href="https://www.websticker.com/product/branded-laptop-stickers/">custom laptop stickers</a> &#8211; a small sticker that could go on notebooks, laptops, office equipment&#8230; places business folks would likely apply it and other businesses associates would see it. </span></p>
  192. <p><span style="font-family: Times-Roman;"><img decoding="async" class="alignright size-full wp-image-6598" src="https://websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/customer_sticker.jpg" alt="Custom Sticker for Business Beware made by Websticker" width="200" height="133" srcset="https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/customer_sticker.jpg 200w, https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/customer_sticker-24x16.jpg 24w, https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/customer_sticker-36x24.jpg 36w, https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/customer_sticker-48x32.jpg 48w" sizes="(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px" />We didn&#8217;t just make a sticker of the Business Beware logo, instead we used one of their mantras, &#8220;The Customer is Not Always Right&#8221; as the main design element to get business owners attention and draw them into the conversation. These promotional stickers had much more mileage and garnered more attention than a larger logo sticker ever could.</span></p>

I&#8217;m all about cultivating relationships that result in opportunities to sell.</p>
  212. <p>This particular client seemed allergic to cultivating relationships for reasons I never really understood.</p>
  213. <p>I remember one such meeting, I was trying to explain to my client the wisdom of first creating trust and credibility before trying to get a sale. And my client was blocking me at every turn with reasons why relationship development would not work for their business.</p>
  214. <p>It was maddening.</p>
  215. <p>Finally, I cried with exasperation, &#8220;Well, why the heck do you want to keep working with me since my approach doesn&#8217;t work for you?&#8221;</p>
  216. <p>&#8220;Because you&#8217;re sincere,&#8221; the client replied.</p>
  217. <p>&#8220;Who cares&#8221; I thought to myself since it didn&#8217;t seem to be helping my client grow their business.</p>
  218. <p>Since that time I&#8217;ve changed my mind about the quality of sincerity. I think it&#8217;s impossible to have sustainably effective marketing without sincerity.</p>
  219. <h3>The Importance of Being Sincere</h3>
  220. <p>The word, &#8220;sincere&#8221; is derived from the Latin word, &#8220;sincerus,&#8221; meaning whole, pure, genuine.</p>
  221. <p>When you think about today&#8217;s business climate, sincerity isn&#8217;t a quality that comes to mind. But it&#8217;s a quality human beings need to perceive to be willing and able to buy.</p>
  222. <h3>The Place of Sincerity in Your Marketing</h3>
  223. <p>First, it&#8217;s important to remember the real role of marketing in your business.</p>
  224. <p>Marketing is NOT about making a sale. Marketing is about creating a relationship based in trust and safety so that a sale can occur.</p>
  225. <p>Regardless of public sentiment towards business, people and companies still have problems that need to be solved and stuff that has to get done. Your prospective customers still need to buy stuff.</p>
  226. <p>They want to be able to trust you because they need to buy what you sell.</p>
  227. <p>The marketing you do is all about establishing visibility and credibility so that there&#8217;s enough trust for the purchase to happen.</p>
  228. <p>For example, if you regularly keep in touch with prospects via e-mail, you&#8217;re not doing it to &#8220;bug&#8221; your customers. You&#8217;re sending out that e-mail because:<br />
  229. • You can remind them that &#8220;Hey, I help people just like you solve these kinds of problems.&#8221;<br />
  230. • You can offer examples and helpful information about the kind of problems you solve (&#8220;Here&#8217;s an example of how I helped a customer&#8221;)<br />
  231. • Or you provide helpful information for your prospects to better understand what they need to do to improve their situation.</p>
  232. <p>Once prospective customers feel accepted for where they&#8217;re at and trust you can actually help, they can then take the next step.</p>
  233. <h3>It&#8217;s About Sustainable, Effective Marketing</h3>
  234. <p>Now there are also some relatively good-hearted entrepreneurs out there who use hard-sell tactics in their marketing. You subscribe to their newsletter and get barraged with multiple emails every day telling you about some amazing program you &#8220;just gotta check out.&#8221;</p>
  235. <p>Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s important: there is no rest with this kind of marketing. You must work very, very hard to generate this level of noise.</p>
  236. <p>And if you&#8217;re spending so much time and energy with your own marketing, it&#8217;s tough to put much time or effort into where&#8211;in my opinion&#8211;we should be making the difference: helping clients and customers get results.</p>
  237. <p>That, to me, is why hype-centered marketing with or without a good heart fails. If you want to market your business in a way that brings in a steady stream of ideal customers without burning yourself into a crispy critter, sincere, heart-centered marketing is the way to go.</p>
  238. <h3>Keys to Developing Sincere, Effective, Sustainable Marketing</h3>
  239. <p><strong>#1</strong>. Ask yourself, &#8220;what&#8217;s my highest intention for my business?&#8221;</p>
  240. <p>What&#8217;s the best possible outcome for you, for your business, and for your customer?</p>
  241. <p>Example: the highest intention for Highly Contagious Marketing is when we help clients create marketing that grows their client base and their bottom line.</p>
  242. <p>When that happens, satisfied clients send us referrals which helps Highly Contagious Marketing succeed financially and there are more successful businesses in the world making a positive difference.</p>
  243. <p><strong>#2.</strong> Look at how your intention is reflected in your marketing?</p>
  244. <p>Thinking of the many different ways you market your business, how is your intention showing up?</p>
  245. <p>Example: In all the activities to promote Highly Contagious Marketing, I want to:</p>
  246. <p>(1.) Provide information, a how-to, or a resource that gives the person who gets the marketing a little added value</p>
  247. <p>(2.) Provide an offer and a clear call to action for anyone wanting to take the next step and get more help from us.</p>
  248. <p><strong>#3.</strong> Ask what one change can you make to your marketing to express your sincere desire to serve customers and make a difference?</p>
  249. <p>Some specific actions you can take to show more sincerity in your marketing include:</p>
  250. <p>(1.) Make your marketing message truly focused on your customer and their current problem. The first half of your message should be about your customer and their situation. If you&#8217;re talking about yourself&#8211;your solutions and qualifications, your marketing is not focused on the customer.</p>
  251. <p>(2.) Look for ways to leave anyone who encounters your marketing a little better off than they were before the encounter. Marketing that informs, coaches, inspires, even entertains all leave recipients a little better off.</p>
  252. <p>(3.) Make sure your marketing reflects your values and if not, make changes. If you loathe hype in other marketing but use hype because &#8220;that&#8217;s what everyone says I have to do,&#8221; stop using hype. Create marketing that gets results without making you feel like you sold your soul.</p>
  253. <h3>Bottom Line</h3>
  254. <p>Remember, marketing is all about cultivating trust-based relationships so prospects can buy. And sincerity is a critical factor which enables trust to grow.</p>
  255. <p>Can you market your products and services without sincerity? Sure. But you will have to work a lot harder to sustain sales because you won&#8217;t be creating the quality relationships that give your marketing real momentum.</p>
  256. <p>To create marketing in which sincerity shines through, take some time to remember what your business is in service for and take action so that your marketing better reflects what matters to you.</p>

  278. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Marketing with custom promotional stickers works. Simply, if properly designed, produced, and distributed, custom <a href="https://www.websticker.com/products/custom-stickers/">promotional stickers</a> provide a badge that advertises, encourages word of mouth, and identifies insiders. As our culture moves towards more online and electronic means of communication it becomes harder to see and spread physical badges, endorsements, and insider awareness. Taking the ski industry and specifically mountain resorts as an example I&#8217;ll examine some simple solutions for firing up and improving lost or often overlooked sticker marketing opportunities.</p>
  279. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-9089" src="https://websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/VIPCAL3-220x220.jpg" alt="A Sheet Of Special Domed VIPcal Stickers by Websticker" width="220" height="220" />Mountain Resorts (ski and snowboard areas) in the past easily identified their customers and some of their best customers and insiders. Everyone who paid to ski or snowboard at a certain resort had a giant ticket that hung from their jacket. These tickets were great marketing for resorts because they often stayed on the jacket off of the slopes as well and for extended periods of time. Not only were they difficult to remove, but many people did not want to remove them because they made a statement&#8230; &#8220;hey, I&#8217;m a skier&#8230; check out all the days I&#8217;ve skied&#8221;. Now lift tickets are mostly electronic cards stashed inside of pockets and not visibly displayed.</p>
  280. <p>A similar shift has happened with mountain resort&#8217;s best customers and insiders. Season pass holders used to have a cool pass with a picture that identified these locals and insiders to other skiers. And, with a new pass every year they were often collected, saved, and displayed in ski houses as signs of insider status. Now, with electronic passes being stashed deep in unseen pockets, locals and insiders are thrown in with all other visitors and have lost the social currency they were once awarded. These best customers don&#8217;t want to be asked on a gondola where they are from &#8211; they want to be envied and asked about the best runs or local hot spots. The mountain resorts have inadvertently stifled the voices, pride and marketing potential of their best customers.</p>
  281. <p>In my book, <a href="https://websticker.com/sticker-marketing/book-stick-this/">Stick This!</a> Using Promotional Stickers To Build Identity, Create Word Of Mouth and Grow Sales, I talk about Badgers. Badgers are &#8220;The people not just willing, but enthusiastically volunteering (or even paying) to showcase a badge declaring their association and affinity. This is where the secret to marketing success lies &#8211; fully harnessing the marketing power of your fans and advocates.&#8221;</p>
  282. <p>In Jonah Berger&#8217;s book Contagious he asks,</p>
  283. <blockquote><p><strong><em>&#8220;what good is status if no one else knows you have it?&#8221; People may talk &#8220;but it is even better if there is a tangible, visible symbol that can be displayed to others&#8230; cues in the environment not only boost word of mouth but also remind people about things they already want to buy or do.&#8221;</em></strong></p></blockquote>
  284. <p>Mountain Resorts have not adapted well to a new world where insider status and affinities are more hidden then ever. As a result, they have lost out on a lot of the free marketing and advertising that excited customers offer. Luckily there are easy, powerful, inexpensive ways to reignite word of mouth and display insider status &#8211; not just for ski areas but for any business. The answer lies in better designed and distributed custom promotional stickers for exposure to all customers/visitors, AND something visible and unique for best customers and insiders.</p>
  285. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  286. <hr />
  287. <h3><strong>Sticker Ideas For All Mountain Resorts:</strong></h3>
  288. <p>Most mountain resorts have promotional logo stickers for advertising (amazingly, some don&#8217;t). They may hand them out at consumer shows &amp; special events, sell them in their shops, or make them available in other ways at the resort. But, few resorts design and distribute stickers in a way that cover different customer tastes and encourage visitors to apply them and broadcast their affinity to others.</p>
  289. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-9086" src="https://websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/MTNStickerSheet3-220x220.jpg" alt="Vinyl sticker sheets for Mammut, Solitude, Bear Valley &amp; Jackson Hole custom made by Websticker" width="220" height="220" />Here&#8217;s my 2 best ideas for maximizing the effectiveness of promo stickers when marketing for resorts.</p>
  290. <p><strong>1)</strong> Produce one <a href="https://websticker.com/product/postcard-stickers-sheets/">custom sticker sheet</a> or <a href="https://www.websticker.com/blog/postcard-stickers-can-really-deliver-marketing-value/">sticker postcards</a> with multiple stickers to encourage applications to cars, helmets, water bottles, electronic devices&#8230; multiple location.</p>
  291. <p>Making one sheet offers many benefits when marketing for resorts including ease of distribution, multiple options for recipients, and high perceived value. Copy or color changes can also be utilized to target different market segments.</p>
  292. <p><strong>2)</strong> Distribute custom promo stickers in a planned, organized manner to paying customers that appreciate (and will most likely display) the custom logo stickers.</p>
  293. <p>Instead of random piles in random locations or offering no stickers at all when marketing for resorts, stickers can be offered (verbally) to everyone who makes a purchase in a retail store, rental department and/or in restaurants or cafeterias. In this way people are asked and the stickers all end up in the hands of interested paying customers who view the custom stickers as a valued gift.</p>
  294. <h3><strong>Sticker Ideas for Best Customers / Insiders</strong></h3>
  295. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-9087" src="https://websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Sugarbush-Pass-220x220.png" alt="Unique stickers available only to Sugarbush season pass holders custom made by Websticker" width="220" height="220" />Best customers need to be armed with a unique product or badge that separates them from other visitors and common folk. Best customers and pass holders need to feel special, appreciated and they need a way to show off that status with stickers. Again, &#8220;what good is status if no one else knows you have it?&#8221; On the mountain pass holders traditionally wore their special status on their sleeve or around their neck. Why not stick that status back in the open, not only on the mountain but where ever they may go? Stickers are a low-cost marketing solution.</p>
  296. <p>Back to some words from Jonah Berger in Contagious;</p>
  297. <blockquote><p><strong><em>&#8220;If people get something not everyone else has it makes them feel special, unique, high status&#8230; We need to use scarcity and exclusivity to make people feel as if they are insiders.&#8221;</em></strong></p></blockquote>
  298. <p>We also need to give fans and customers an easy way to show off that status. An exclusive sticker or badge offers the highest degree of exposure at the lowest cost. Here&#8217;s are 4 ideas for affordably showcasing the status of best customers.</p>
  299. <p><strong>1)</strong> This is no time for a basic bumper sticker or helmet decal. Not only does the design need to reflect a special, unique status but the quality and perceived value of the sticker needs to be pumped up a few notches as well.</p>
  300. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-9088" src="https://websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/VIPCAL2-220x220.jpg" alt="Examples of high quality decals For Best Customers custom made by Websticker" width="220" height="220" /><a href="https://websticker.com/product/custom-decals/">Vinyl cut decals</a> (perhaps with a gold, silver, chrome or etched glass material) can be highly prized. As can what we call a VIPcal &#8211; a sticker of obvious high quality that can&#8217;t be easily replicated. This could be done with a special design or in a less common (but more high end) material like <a href="https://websticker.com/product/domed-stickers-decals/">domed stickers</a>, which have a poured epoxy layer over a high grade material.</p>
  301. <p><strong>2)</strong> Two sizes of VIP/Insider stickers should ideally be produced for mountain resorts. Smaller stickers can cover helmet and equipment applications, and larger stickers for cars, cargo boxes, water bottles, etc. multiple size options can cover many other applications and it leaves it to the fans/advocates to decide where and how they want to display their stickers.</p>
  302. <p><strong>3)</strong> Who should receive a VIPcal or &#8220;Insider&#8221; Sticker? Top level (or all levels) of season pass holders. Or, perhaps people that reach a milestone of a certain amount of runs taken, days skied or years with a pass. These stats are now readily available at so many resorts it&#8217;s easy to reward top customers, frequent fliers and VIP &#8220;insiders&#8221;.</p>
  303. <p>With some creativity and proper designs any resort can turn valuable customers into valuable and visible advocates and marketers. There could even be different designs for different achievement levels to incentivize more time on the slopes, a higher priced pass, membership in a special club, etc.</p>
  304. <p><strong>4)</strong> How should these elite stickers be distributed when marketing for resorts? Mail them with a nice note congratulating them on their elite status and how much you appreciate them. You can further incentivize application by offering special perks. On a car perhaps the sticker allows special parking privileges or access to a special event? On a helmet perhaps the special sticker allows for free coffee, an express lane for lifts, or any number of creative perks. But, no extra benefits should really be necessary if the sticker itself is cool, coveted and conveys special status.</p>
  305. <p><strong>Tip:</strong> Now more than ever sticker postcards are one of the best marketing values on the planet. The tips above of having multiple stickers delivered to very targeted best customers are easily realized with a sticker postcard. <a href="https://www.websticker.com/blog/postcard-stickers-can-really-deliver-marketing-value/">Here are 5 reasons sticker postcards may be the ultimate low-cost marketing tool.</a></p>
  306. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  307. <hr />
  308. <p>Mountain Resorts, of course, are not the only businesses that can increase exposure, word of mouth, loyalty and revenue with custom promotional stickers. At Websticker we have helped hundreds of businesses boost marketing power and strengthen identity with well designed, quality stickers. With today&#8217;s technologies it&#8217;s easier than ever to use available data to connect offline in creative ways.</p>
  309. <p>Don&#8217;t leave low-cost marketing opportunities hidden in your pocket like newfangled ski tickets &#8211; take full advantage of high exposure stickers and your best advocates who are also, potentially, your best (free) salespeople.</p>

  328. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When using sticker distribution as a part of your marketing strategy, it’s important to take advantage of all of the sticker “real estate” that’s available to you during the sticker design process. The primary focus is obviously the sticker itself, but what about back copy or printing on the back of the sticker? Letting this space go to waste is a missed promotional opportunity.</p>
  329. <p><img decoding="async" class="alignright size-full wp-image-4745" src="https://websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/tips-backcopy.jpg" alt="Websticker example of printing back copy (back imprint) on a sticker" width="356" height="180" srcset="https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/tips-backcopy.jpg 356w, https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/tips-backcopy-240x121.jpg 240w, https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/tips-backcopy-24x12.jpg 24w, https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/tips-backcopy-36x18.jpg 36w, https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/tips-backcopy-48x24.jpg 48w" sizes="(max-width: 356px) 100vw, 356px" /></p>
  330. <p>Instead of leaving the back of the sticker blank, that space can be used to incorporate a number of marketing messages. Unlike a brochure, letter, or flyer, a sticker has value and is “fun” &#8211; people are more likely to hold onto it! They will pay attention to what’s on both sides of the sticker.</p>
  331. <p>Not sure of what to include in the copy on the back imprint of the sticker? Here are a few ideas for you:</p>
  332. <ul>
  333. <li>Print <a href="https://www.websticker.com/product/postcard-stickers-sheets/">sticker postcards</a> which are an incredible marketing tool unto itself</li>
  334. <li>Print product information/specs</li>
  335. <li>Print coupons to encourage future sales</li>
  336. <li>Print <a href="https://www.websticker.com/blog/mobile-tagging-with-stickers-and-labels-the-ultimate-websticker/">QR codes</a> that connects to an online video or special landing page</li>
  337. <li>Share company information: address, phone numbers, website URL, or social media handles</li>
  338. <li>Promote contests or special events</li>
  339. <li>Present subscription or sign-up cards</li>
  340. <li>Print a reminder to display the sticker! &#8211; Where do you want to see them?</li>
  341. </ul>
  342. <p>If you’re having trouble deciding what message to include on the back of a sticker, you can always include more than one. Don’t limit yourself! You can set up print runs for multiple messages or campaigns, depending on the distribution method. For example, you might want one message for the stickers you plan on handing out at an event, another message for the stickers you’ll be sending out via direct mail, another message for the stickers slipped into product shipments, and another message for the stickers that salespeople hand out when they meet with prospects. This is all possible by making simple copy changes during the print run.</p>
  343. <p>Another great option for stickers with back printing is to sell or trade that space to another company that has a similar target audience. Of course, it shouldn’t be a direct competitor, but rather a company in a related market. For example, a ski shop could partner with a skiing magazine. The magazine could put subscription information on the back of the sticker. Even though sticker printing is a relatively low cost marketing method, costs can be reduced even further if two parties share in the expense. Or, trading is always an option. In the ski shop/skiing magazine example, the magazine could include an advertisement for the ski shop in each publication in exchange for subscription information on the backing paper imprint.</p>
  344. <p>No matter how you choose to use the sticker backing paper imprint &#8211; the bottom line is that you should be capitalizing on the back printing! Most businesses don’t consider this during the sticker design process and therefore aren’t getting the maximum value out of their promotional stickers. Don’t be one of those businesses! Instead, be creative and let both sides of your <a href="https://www.websticker.com/products/custom-stickers/">custom outdoor stickers</a> work for you.</p>

Websticker was thrilled to be able to help them work towards their mission by donating complimentary stickers. They had a great logo, which we turned into  <a href="https://www.websticker.com/product/die-cut-stickers/">die cut stickers</a> that they can distribute at events or be given as a donor gift to raise awareness of the support needed for first responders!</p>
  364. <p class="">Priority Wellness sprouted from the question of ‘Why is no one helping first responders deal with their mental health?” They were inspired to help support first responders who witness so much in their profession and need help processing some very difficult situations. They wanted to remove the stigma surrounding mental health that still exists in our modern times. Fueled by need and determination to help, this non-profit was created to focus on these important issues. They now have a critical response team that responds to major incidents to make sure resources are available to first responders and work collaboratively with EMS, Fire, Police and Dispatch organizations to provide assistance fulfilling their mission.</p>
  365. <p class=""><span class="">The addition of stickers from Websticker further elevates their efforts. Stickers, with their visual appeal, can assist to raise </span><span class="" style="color: #6a6a6a; font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span class="">awareness of the Priority Wellness Campaign, attract volunteers, and support first responder&#8217;s mental health needs.</span></span></p>

  387. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>The Sticker Goal</h4>
  388. <p>A plumbing, heating, and electric business was looking for a way to inform their customers on how to shut down their water heaters in the event of an emergency. They also wanted a way to encourage the customer to upgrade their appliance through the business’s extensive product line when the time came. The plumbing, heating, and electric business was able to create a sticker decal through us that fulfilled all of their service &amp; communication needs.</p>
  389. <h4><img decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-29688" src="https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/HotWatreHeaterSticker-347x240.jpg" alt="" width="347" height="240" srcset="https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/HotWatreHeaterSticker-347x240.jpg 347w, https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/HotWatreHeaterSticker-231x160.jpg 231w, https://www.websticker.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/HotWatreHeaterSticker.jpg 571w" sizes="(max-width: 347px) 100vw, 347px" />The Sticker Solution</h4>
  390. <p>We offer a variety of both stock and custom decals to use on both fun and functional projects. Our specialists worked closely with the business to determine that a 5.5” x 8” <a href="https://www.websticker.com/product/custom-rectangle-stickers/">rectangular custom stickers</a> were the best option and value to be applied to their water heaters. The decal was printed in screen full color and included step-by-step instructions on how to safely shut down their water heater if an emergency occurred. In addition, the decal art included an offer from the company to buy back their old water heater in the event of a new purchase. In the end, the product included both items that the plumbing, heating, and electric business was looking for to both inform and promote to their loyal customers.</p>
  391. <h4>The Custom Result</h4>
  392. <p>The custom square corner decal was able to serve its purpose on the company’s water heaters by providing safety instructions to the customer while also offering an incentive to upgrade their appliance. The plumbing, heating, and electric business not only gained peace of mind regarding the safety of their customers, but they also grew their customer loyalty for years to come.</p>
