Mon, 20 Dec 2010 12:33:00 -0800 Custom Stickers Can Help To Promote Coffee Shops http://siennapacific.posterous.com/custom-stickers-can-help-to-promote-coffee-sh http://siennapacific.posterous.com/custom-stickers-can-help-to-promote-coffee-sh

We're always researching on internet for effective marketing ideas to share with our readers and customers.

Today we found this article online Effective Marketing Ideas for Your Coffee Shop. It's full of interesting tips and creative projects either you're a coffee shop owner or if you're planning to open one.

However, there's one idea that didn't surprise me at all and it's about using Custom Stickers to promote your name.

"Here is where you have the chance to have every customer take your name with them when they leave allowing others to see it. Whether you have sleeves custom printed or you use stickers and put one on each cup or protective sleeve, they are all part of your branding. Be sure the design is clear and defines your shop well. The same goes for stamps. You can have a rubber stamp made to stamp your whole bean coffee bags with. Note that the brown Kraft paper bags are what you’d need for this. If you use the foil bags, your stickers will work well for this too". - The Internet Marketing Hub -


Custom Vinyl Stickers can help to promote your business or your products. They're affordable, easy to customize and fun.

Stickers are highly visible, by advertising your brand with them you're increasing your exposure and more people will know about your offer.

If you really are looking for efficient ways to spread the word about your business, Custom Stickers can help. But remember that these stickers are going to represent your company out there, so, it's very important to have a professional design aligned with your brand image and your company core values.

Mon, 06 Dec 2010 14:08:00 -0800 "I Wish This Was" Project - Stickers To Get People's Voice Heard http://siennapacific.posterous.com/i-wish-this-was-project-stickers-to-get-peopl http://siennapacific.posterous.com/i-wish-this-was-project-stickers-to-get-peopl

As "I Wish This Was" project shows, Custom Vinyl Stickers can help different causes or goals.

Candy Chang, designer and urban planner in New Orleans, created this project as a tool for people to declare what they want and where they want it.

They're fill-in the blank Stickers that people can get for free at coffee shops, bars, bookstores, etc., and put in abandoned building or anywhere they want expressing what they would like to have in that specific place.

Some examples: I wish this was a grocery, I wish this was a church, etc. Some people go beyond and even funny. There're messages like I wish this was owned by someone who cared or I wish this was Brad Pitt's house.

These stickers, as simple as they are, provide a cool and an easy way for residents to give civic input on site or to express their concerns, hopes and why not let their imagination fly.

Tue, 30 Nov 2010 10:19:00 -0800 Custom Vinyl Stickers To Advertise Your Brand http://siennapacific.posterous.com/custom-vinyl-stickers-to-advertise-your-brand http://siennapacific.posterous.com/custom-vinyl-stickers-to-advertise-your-brand

Many companies face the challenge of promoting their products with a limited budget.

There're several options available, magazines, flyers or internet marketing are some of them, but specially for start-up businesses is very difficult to afford them because they haven't generated enough cash flow yet.

No matter what business you're in, custom vinyl stickers can help to promote your brand. They're easy to personalize, fun and highly visible. Another idea is to opt for custom window decals that will end up on car's windows making your message "mobile" then more people will see it. - Ezine Articles -

Fri, 19 Nov 2010 13:52:00 -0800 Custom Vinyl Stickers Designing Tips http://siennapacific.posterous.com/custom-vinyl-stickers-designing-tips http://siennapacific.posterous.com/custom-vinyl-stickers-designing-tips

When deciding about your Custom Stickers design, the first thing you need to think about is your specific goals and how your custom stickers fit into your overall marketing or promotional plan.

Your custom stickers need to communicate your message as clear as possible. For that reason, we will suggest to keep them simple!

For example, do not include small details that maybe are not noticeable from a certain distance and we would suggest to use a maximum of three colors, more colors can distract your customers from your main message.

On the other hand, custom-shape stickers are a great option because they could have more visual impact on your customers. A special and differentiate shape can help in grabbing people's attention.

Custom Vinyl Stickers are great for advertising your brand at special events or tradeshows everyone loves receiving stickers!

Thu, 11 Nov 2010 16:27:00 -0800 Fundraising Ideas Using Custom Vinyl Stickers http://siennapacific.posterous.com/fundraising-ideas-using-custom-vinyl-stickers http://siennapacific.posterous.com/fundraising-ideas-using-custom-vinyl-stickers

During the academic year, school fundraising campaigns are very usual and almost every school will have at least one to raise funds for sport teams, musical programs and other extracurricular activities.

The most common promotional products offered in these campaigns are candies, cookies, books or coupons. But today, we want to talk about an item that it’s often ignored or missed, Custom Vinyl Stickers; they’re an inexpensive and versatile option for any fundraising drive.

Your sticker can have a basic design with only your team’s logo or a specific slogan instead. It’ll depend what you would like to communicate. Don’t forget that the right colors selection will assure that your sticker grabs people attention.

Vinyl stickers can be sold at $ 3 to $ 5 per piece, so, it’s an item that almost anyone can afford to buy. More likely that even students or same age friends are going to be able to pay this price. Therefore, it won’t be difficult to sell a good quantity of these stickers and get some of the required funds.

A very good strategy to get more sales is to make group of students or classes to “compete” against each other, let’s say the class that have more stickers sold will get pizza discount coupons. This little reward will keep students motivated and will add some buzz to your campaign.

Custom Vinyl Stickers are a smart approach to make your fundraising campaign more real, people will get something in exchange for their donations, like a thank you gesture. On the other hand, those stickers will show the word that they support your cause and probably encourage others to do the same. Good luck!

Tue, 09 Nov 2010 11:28:13 -0800 Custom Stickers - Don't Forget about Copyright Laws http://siennapacific.posterous.com/custom-stickers-dont-forget-about-copyright-l http://siennapacific.posterous.com/custom-stickers-dont-forget-about-copyright-l

I found an article on the news today about a photographer in Texas who is suing the state because millions of vehicle inspection stickers have being printed using one of his photos without his authorization.

The stickers were produced by state prison inmates and it seems the photo was illegally appropriated by an inmate who scanned it from a magazine.

To read the full article visit News

This is quite a controversy here. Some people can argue the vinyl stickers use a derivative image of his photo, therefore, it doesn't represent an infringement to the copyright law.

On the other hand, as internet is making everything available for everybody some people believe there's nothing wrong. However, we have to disagree here, if a person finds images or pictures on the internet, it doesn't mean that he/she can use them, at least otherwise is specified. It's important to respect other people work and creations.

So, what do you think? Do you believe the photographer is right suing the state?

In an effort to increase awareness against Domestic Violence and spread the word about preventive tips to fight domestic violence, the Shasta Women's Refuge (SWR) Center in Redding, California has been handing out purple lapel pins and stickers this month, as October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Mon, 25 Oct 2010 11:28:00 -0700 Using Custom Stickers to Promote your Brand While Engaging with your Customers http://siennapacific.posterous.com/using-custom-stickers-to-promote-your-brand-w http://siennapacific.posterous.com/using-custom-stickers-to-promote-your-brand-w

Just found this site online Peaceful Parenting, it's a blog with information, tips and news for parents. Also, a place where moms and dads can share their feelings, thoughts or their histories.

It came to my attention this post where they're a announcing the launching of its new bumper stickers and asking visitors to vote for the design they like the most.

They posted 3 options and visitors have 48 hours to vote, then, the winner option will be printed and available for sell I guess.

While it's well know the advantages of using Custom Stickers as I way to promote your brand, your logo or whatever message you want to share, I would like to point out that they also can be used as I way to involve your customers or followers asking them for their opinion as Peaceful Parenting is doing.

Engaging your customers in this kind of decisions not only will assure you to pick the most appealing design, it also will make your clients or readers feel more important as their opinion is listened.

On the other hand, I believe it create a sort of excitement and an excuse for people to comment in your site and express their point of view.

Well done Peaceful Parenting!

So, if your business/organization doesn't have a custom sticker or a vinyl decal yet, first of all you need them...and why not engage your customers in the decision? Sounds a great idea.

Government and Auto Industry are debating about Fuel-Economy Stickers and its convenience to keep customers informed about which cars are more environmental friendly.

"In August, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Transportation released two proposed window stickers designed to make it easier for consumers to compare vehicles particularly as a new generation of electric and hybrid cars are set to hit the marketplace over the next year". - Enviromental Leader -


While automakers and auto dealers agreed with government that a new car window sticker is necessary, they don't think the ones proposed are the more adequate since consumers could be confused.

For more details about this controversial debate visit Enviromental Leader

Custom Stickers are a good option to communicate with customers, you can promote your brand, products, make a statement or maybe give your clients information that you think is important for them to know or remind.
