The Best Signage For Your Event

A banner or sign is a great way to advertise for your business, especially at community events. The Lake of the Ozarks has many community-wide events that give you the opportunity to advertise for your business. The best printing company at the Lake of the Ozarks can help you create stunning banners or signs to promote your business at these various events. Whether you are needing to advertise at fall festivals or a trade show, Smart Postal Centers can create the perfect sign, banner or promotional materials for your needs.

Banners 

Banners are a great way to advertise to a large group. Whether you need it to hang on the outside of your business to greet customers or you need it to hang at a sporting event, banners will get the job done. Banners come in many different sizes and can be used multiple ways. If you are needing a backdrop for a trade show, a retractable banner may be for you. They are lightweight and roll up, which makes them easy to carry. A floating banner is often used at school functions either hung from the ceiling, on a table or on a fence at a sporting event. A well-hung banner can transform an often forgotten space into an appealing advertising area.

Signages

At Smart Postal Centers, we offer fast turn around on all custom orders. With our state of the art wide format digital printing, we can print a wide arrange of signs including yard signs, Ameren UE dock address signs, real estate signs, property signs and parking signs. Signs are a great way to advertise your business during community events. Yard signs are great for those walking or even driving, by your storefront. However, during fall festivals, yard signs will be great to show people where you are located in the vendor area, as many festivals are located in grassy areas.

Your Company Newsletter - Part 1: Why They Are Effective

Creating a newsletter that is full of helpful, free information and tips can be a valuable marketing tool for businesses. It is a great way to advertise new products or services by providing useful, informative articles. A printing company at the Lake of the Ozarks can turn your company's information, reviews, tips, and announcements into a newsletter that can keep your customers' interest in every issue. Today, with so much demanding the attention of everyone, Smart Postal Centers can help make your newsletter stand out. Here are some reasons your business should consider a company newsletter:

Newsletters Can Be More Effective Than Ads 

A newsletter can attract new customers if planned carefully and it looks professional. A Lake of the Ozarks printing company can help you achieve this. Consider the ways newsletters might be more effective than ads:

• Newsletters have four times the readership of traditional ads. (Source: Dartnell & Co.) 
• A newsletter allows you to give more detail about specific products and services. This is important if you are trying to educate a consumer. An ad is limited to space and is surrounded by competing ads and articles.
• Newsletters can have a longer shelf life than an ad. You may receive a newsletter in the mail and save the article or share with someone else who may be interested. Ads are rarely kept.

Generate Sales Leads By Promoting Free Subscriptions to Your Newsletter

An easy way to generate free sales leads is to add a call of action to the bottom of your newsletter to encourage customers to get a free subscription of your newsletter by providing their contact information. Subscribers already have interest in your product or service and should make excellent qualified sales leads.

Maximizing Your Newsletter's Exposure Can Maximize Its Results

Printing a newsletter at the Lake of the Ozarks is an investment and takes time. If you are putting the effort in, you will want to get the maximum exposure from it. Here are some suggestions:

• Mail your newsletter to all former and current customers. Don't forget potential clients who may have requested information from you in the past, but haven't purchased yet. 
• Give salespeople copies of the newsletter to hand out when they are out working with potential customers. Offering a free newsletter full of valuable information and tips can be a great conversation starter for salespeople who make cold calls. 
• Send newsletters to all potential clients who may have interest in certain articles. If a restaurant is saving hundreds of dollars because of a new point-of-sale system your company offers, send a copy of the newsletter to all other restaurants in your area.
• Place a stack of newsletters at your place of business, available to customers when they visit. This may include your lobby, waiting room, retail store, or show room.
• Hand out your company's newsletter at trade shows and exhibition booths. 

Smart Postal Centers Can Make Your Newsletters Stand Out

By planning and proper placement of your newsletters, you can increase sales leads and awareness of your products and services. Smart Postal Centers can help you manage all aspects of your company's newsletter, from graphics and sizing to printing and mailing. In next week's blog, we will go into further depth on the type of information to include in your newsletter to become an industry leader and to effectively generate more sales.

Make a Great First Impression with Your Business Cards

Business cards are one of the first marketing tools used for self-promotion, and have been used for many centuries. In 17th century Europe, an individual's success or failure in society often depended on how well they promoted themselves. Business cards are still necessary today to make a connection, even with vast Internet access and smart phones. To leave a memorable first impression, your business cards should be printed on premium card stock with high quality graphics and readable text. To make your business cards stand out, Smart Postal Centers can help. We offer color printing at the Lake of the Ozarks and full graphics capabilities. Here is a list of reasons why business cards are effective for business and you should keep a handful of them at all times:

Business Cards Are the First Impression of Your Brand

The purpose of business cards are to share your name, numbers, email address, and other contact information with business prospects. Another reason to have a quality business card is to create a memorable impression of your brand. You should express the tone of your company through your business cards.  A unique business card can create conversation and may stay in a person's pocket longer.

Business Cards Allow Follow Up

Business cards are a personal way to encourage people to follow up with you. When offering a
product or service, this could be your opportunity to make a sale. Handing your business card to a prospective client will look more professional than reaching for a pen and paper. Typing contact details in a mobile phone or tablet is more impersonal and not all people are comfortable with it. Engaging in conversation and making eye contact is how a real relationship begins. This becomes a perfect opportunity to offer your business card to the person.

Business Cards Show You Are A Professional

Presenting your business card when meeting with people, whether at scheduled meetings or in unplanned situations shows you are a professional. Printing business cards for your business and carrying them with you indicates you are prepared. This can send a message to the prospective client that you operate your business with the same organization.

Business Cards Are A Good Referral Tool

Networking events are common among business owners and having a good supply of business cards can bring you referrals. Your business card should not only list all of your contact information, but also information about the company or your skills. This allows people to follow up with you regarding possible business opportunities. If the card gets passed along, the extra detail will make a difference to the person that you initially gave the card to. They may know someone in their network that could use your service.

Let Smart Postal Centers Create Your Business Cards

You can meet a potential business prospect at a tradeshow, charity fundraiser, or even at the grocery store. By arming yourself with business cards at all times, you shouldn't miss an opportunity to make a valuable business connection. Smart Postal Centers can handle the printing for a large or small business. If you are a new business or company looking for a re-design of your current business card, let our design team help you today!

Make Your Marketing Pop With Color!

Colors can really make a difference in your Lake of the Ozarks marketing campaign. Often, colors can affect our emotions in many different ways, by evoking the sense of taste or smell or by bringing forth past memories. Make your next marketing campaign really effective by spending some time thinking about your color scheme. Fortunately, Smart Postal Centers has a huge amount of experience working with our clients to pick the perfect colors for their marketing campaign.

The Psychology of Color

Color is powerful because it can change the mood of your consumers. For example, many people love blue. It is serene, and reminiscent of water and sky. A boat rental company might choose a blue logo, to remind its customers of a good day boating at the lake. Every time the customer sees their blue logo, it invokes a positive memory and they may continue to use the company's services. If appropriate marketing can positively change the state of mind of a customer, then this can deepen the bond with your brand. 

Common Colors Used in Marketing

Since the beginning of marketing, color has been used among marketers to distinguish different products and services. Think of the ways colors are used when decorating for baby showers versus the colors of decorations you would buy for a 40th birthday party. Obviously, these colors could be very different. Here are some meanings of commonly used colors in marketing:

• Red is eye-catching.  It is a warm color associated with love, energy, excitement, and intensity. Restaurants use red often because it raises the heart beat and can make people feel hungry.
• Orange is not as overpowering as red. Theme parks, toy companies, and entertainment products use orange because it suggests positive energy.
• Blue is calm and refreshing. People view it as pure and therefore mineral water, toothpaste, mouthwash, and deodorant is often times in blue packaging.
• Green gives a sense of harmony and balance. A lot of spas and health clubs use green to portray restoration and healthy living.
• Yellow is happy and friendly. Yellow is another warm color used frequently in children's products because it is bright and characterizes fun.

There is not a universal combination when choosing colors for your business, but certain colors will appeal to specific social groups,age groups, and genders. It is essential to know your audience and how they use your product. Pink would probably not sell motorcycles, just as black is probably not the first color choice to use for children's wear.  

Color Sets the Tone for Your Business

Certain colors signify sports teams, business logos, and consumer products. If you have an established business, your community probably recognizes your logo and most likely the color(s) associated with it. When producing marketing materials for print to represent your business, make sure they stand out. The colors should be vibrant and not faded. Full color digital printing can produce quality looking materials. If your marketing looks careless, customers may think that is how you run your business.
