INSTANT MAKE-OVER FOR YOUR OFFICE SPACE

/in /by

Looking for an easy and cost-effective way to visually enhance your office space? Adhesive vinyl is the hottest trend in wall decor, because it’s beautiful, functional and semi-permanent. The low-tac adhesive allows the vinyl to be repositioned, reused and removed without damaging paint or drywall. Adhesive vinyl works great on glass too and adds visual impact to store-front windows.

Celebrate your company history with engaging installations reflecting your brand story. Create energetic project boards and calendars to motivate your team and push goals forward. Or add instant color and character to a dull office space with a one-of-a-kind masterpiece on a focal wall. With the fantastic variety of shapes, sizes, and patterns, your design possibilities are limitless!

Whether it’s one wall or every wall, The Print Refinery helps you express your company’s voice and create custom, quality solutions that fit your brand communications!

Its Trade Show Season - Are you ready?There are over 10,000 trade shows held annually in the US, and standing out in the dense jungle of exhibitor booths is not an easy task. Here are some tips to maximize your visual impact and budget wisely for your next event:

Its Trade Show Season - Are you ready?

  1. Refresh your booth setup. 

Check the condition of your backdrop, signage and furniture. Is it time for a cleaning, refresh or replacement? Avoid the unexpected by practicing your setup prior to the event. Remember any tools you’ll need to unpack, assemble and disassemble your exhibit booth. Getting setup in a timely manner will give you valuable extra time for networking and marketing.

  1. Update your marketing materials.

Refine your positioning, features/benefits and pitch. Does your marketing communicate a clear and targeted message? Correct formatting issues, grammatical errors and outdated information. If you need help adding visual appeal to your marketing materials, The Print Refinery is here to make your brand shine!

  1. Prepare promotional products. 

Current design trends in branded promotional gifts are: popular retail brands, bright and bold colors and unique materials (like cork, wood grain and matte finishes). Cellphone accessories, insulated drinkware and wellness products are always top choices. A branded tchotchke or trinket that ends up in the trash is a waste of marketing dollars, so think “useful, creative and unique” when selecting promotional items.

From backdrops and signage to business cards and promotional branded items, The Print Refinery can fulfill all your commercial printing needs for your next trade show. So let’s create, collaborate and turn your vision into bold marketing statements!

TOP 5 COMMERCIAL SIGN REQUESTS

Did you know that 85% of your potential customers pass by your business each month? If you want to increase sales, you have to drive foot-traffic, and one the most effective ways to do so is with signage. Here is a list of our top 5 commercial sign requests and general guidelines for each:

Top 5 Commercial Sign Requests

  1. Outdoor Signage 

Like judging a book by its cover, customers gather first impressions of a business based on its exterior signage and appearance. So make sure your outdoor signs accurately convey the tone and experience you want a guest to expect upon entering your business.

Top 5 Commercial Sign Requests

  1. Informational Signage 

Informational signs help guests navigate your business and find what they came in for more easily. They should be self-explanatory and easy to read, so large, bold fonts and highly-visible colors work best.

Top 5 Commercial Sign Requests

  1. Persuasive Signage

Persuasive signs influence purchase behavior through convincing language and visual appeal. They can encourage traffic flow to certain areas of the business, create interest in specific products or draw attention to promotions and add-on services.

Top 5 Commercial Sign Requests

  1. ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Compliant Signage 

You want every guest, regardless of disability, to feel welcome and comfortable in your business. So if your business offers wheelchair accessible parking, doors, restrooms or elevators, you should have those accommodations clearly displayed on signs. Also, any permanent interior signs indicating an entrance/exit, stairwells, restrooms and elevators must have Braille and tactile characters and be mounted at specific heights according to ADA compliance and local fire codes.

  1. Mats

Branded mats are perhaps the most versatile type of signage, because they serve a multitude of purposes. They can be marketing messages, directional tools, safety precautions during inclement weather – or just sheer ergonomic relief for retail staff standing on their feet all day!

A well-designed and properly-placed sign can drive traffic, build brand awareness and increase revenue. Remember to be specific and keep it simple, as too many signs or too much information can have the opposite effect. The Print Refinery is your creative partner for all your commercial printing projects. We consult and collaborate with you to design the best commercial signage that fits your specific business needs.

Commercial Targeting: Taking your Retail Business to the next Profit Level

/in , /by

Specialty retail services can provide much higher margins (60%+) than hard goods sales in many cases, but, for the most part, you are dealing with smaller scale projects for home use. The same products and services that you sell to your retail customers for home use, can also be sold in larger sizes and quantities for commercial use (with possible profit margins of up to 85%). Think of the income generated when fully outfitting a hospital or hotel with wall decor!

Here are just some of the many local businesses that should be using your services: mortgage brokers, restaurants, insurance companies, banks, doctor/dentist offices and realtors.

Adding some signature commercially centered products allows you to demonstrate your wide range of expertise. Consider offering history walls, wallpaper, trade show displays, promotional products and checks/office forms.

Finally, don’t let outside sales scare you. In your local market, you will find the most success in developing long-term partnerships with other businesses. Position yourself as the local, go-to resource for everything print by visiting with local business owners and creatively brainstorming marketing, decor and display solutions.
