Learn morePre-Made Versus Custom Die Cut Stickers -- The Difference is Undeniable
There is a difference between buying an off-the-shelf pre-made stickers and custom die cut stickers, ya know? For starters, ordering a pre-printed sticker just gets you a mass-produced repeat of what everyone else already has, and we’re not about that at Stickerbeat. If you are looking for something that is uniquely distinctive and one-of-a-kind, then you know we are talking about your ability to fully personalize a custom sticker that you design. Sure you can go to a big box store and buy an already printed sticker, but isn’t that boring?! Why would anyone want something that’s hanging in their neighbor’s home? We give you the tools to create something magical and that’s custom just for you and nobody else. Most store-bought stickers are made of paper or thin grade vinyl that just isn’t up to snuff. You can’t compare the quality, the finish or even the adhesion. That’s why when you buy cheap internet or big box store stickers they tend to peel up, bubble and just won’t stay down. A sticker that is constantly falling off your wall or other surfaces just isn’t any fun, is it?! Inferior paper or thin vinyl stickers are just nowhere near as durable as our super high-quality 3M Scotchcal Graphic Vinyl that is 4mm thick. You will notice with those other low-grade stickers that they will fade and age poorly and their glue starts to break down quickly. That’s not the case with a Stickerbeat die cut sticker, because they are weatherproof, fade resistant and they stay vibrant for years. In addition, every Stickerbeat sticker is laminated on top for extra protection. Our stickers are tough and they will stand the test of time. EVERYTHING about your sticker can be customized for you at Stickerbeat—size, shape and even color. Don’t be scared to go wild with your design because we will be able to print it out for you no matter what! If you want your sticker to be cut right up to the tippy edge with no excess showing, our Kiss Cut stickers are the way to go. No matter how swirly and complex your design may be, our laser-guided cutting machine is able to cut your image out with high precision right on the borderline. We have circle stickers, square stickers and bumper stickers for your car if that’s what you need, too. We can make you a sticker that can go on a mirror, window or glass with our clear stickers that feature a transparent background; and if you want to stop a crowd in their tracks, then our reflective stickers might be in order. Just use our simple template to make yours or contact our dandy customer service reps to help you design one. Whether your business needs a logo sticker or product sticker; or if you want to design a photo sticker or wedding sticker—we’ve got you covered at Stickerbeat. Raise awareness for your business if you are having a sale, there is no reason to use a pre-printed boring and formulaic sticker that anybody else can buy when you can have a die cut sticker that is all your own.

Learn moreHow to Use Giveaways to Get More Customers
Giveaways are an excellent marketing technique because they excite your prospects but also take advantage of the law of reciprocity. In other words, when you do something nice for someone, they will be compelled to do something nice for you. The big advantage with giveaways is that even small, inexpensive items generate a big return. Below you will find some strategies involving giveaways that will really boost your customer base and increase your sales. Product Samples Giving away a sample of your product – or a free trial of your service – is a great way to attract new customers. Supermarkets, for example, are masters at this technique and they’ve discovered that people will spend between five and 10 times more after receiving a sample. So, consider providing prospects and customers with a sample of your product. Even if you don’t have a brick-and-mortar store, you can provide samples at special events or even have someone wandering around in high traffic areas providing samples. This approach will not only attract more customers, but it would also create a positive impression of your brand. Promotional Items Giving away promotional items to prospects and even the people that you do business with is an excellent way to make sure they don’t forget about you. Of course, to really make this work, make sure to provide them with something that they will find useful and fun. So, maybe instead of the classic pen, try some high-quality, die-cut stickers. You can either print them with funny messages, and make sure to include your brand and contact details, or you can go with useful and educational information. The advantage with stickers is that people actually place a higher value on them than on pens and other similar items. There’s also the advantage that people tend to display them in prominent places, which means that not only will they see your brand constantly, but there also endorsing it, so that when others see it, it’s just as effective as word-of-mouth marketing. Giveaways at Tradeshows If you want to attract people to your booth at a tradeshow, your best bet is with smart giveaways. Remember, everyone else will also be giving stuff away, so you need to get creative. For example, a great idea is to provide a charging station, where people can charge their mobile devices. Most people spend quite some time and tradeshows, but they still have to stay connected, so this means they often end up needing to charge their devices. Just to make sure they don’t forget about you, also provide them with some promotional items, like a mug, or a few good quality stickers, or a variety of other creative items that will make sure they remember your brand. Run Contests You can run contests and provide giveaways as prizes. Yes, people will actually have to do something to win, but contests are highly engaging in people often value the prize more as a result. And don’t worry, because even something as cost-efficient as a set of attractive, die-cut stickers will be more than sufficient to make your customers happy. Sweepstakes Sweepstakes another great way to engage your prospects and customers, in a style similar to contests. However, all your prospects and/or customers have to do is to register. This could be done via website, via text message, or even in person. Again, sweepstakes attract people because everyone wants to win something, but they can also attract attention from other sources, like the media, leading to further brand exposure. Provide a Gift with the Purchase People love getting stuff for free so, when you put out an offer that your providing a gift with every purchase, it’s generally irresistible to most people. The more impressive the gift, the more likely people will be to make the purchase. However, this doesn’t mean you need to throw all your profits away on a gift. Stickers, for example, have a high perceived value and people feel an emotional attachment to them, in large part due to their childhood. So, a set of stickers would be a great option to entice people to make the purchase. Loyalty Programs Loyalty programs are incredibly popular with both customers and businesses. Customers love them because they are excited to earn the rewards, especially with the program where the prizes are creative and attractive. Companies love loyalty programs because they generally generate a lot more business on a relatively small investment. The key to a good loyalty program is making sure that people actually can earn the prizes and that the latter are on par with expectations. For example, if you own a café, your lowest level of reward shouldn’t be after someone purchases 100 coffees. This would seem insurmountable to most people, even if it might only take them a few months to get to that point, even if you are giving away a high-ticket item. Instead, structure your loyalty program so that people have access to the rewards quicker. For example, you could offer a die-cut sticker for every five coffees somebody purchases. Then, on their 10th coffee you can give them a free drink, on their 20th coffee you can give them something a little more expensive and so on. Giveaways are great way to attract new customers, but also to earn their loyalty. It’s a technique that boosts sales because of the law of reciprocity, but it also builds loyalty because your customers feel valued. The great thing with giveaways is that they rarely have to be expensive – unless it’s for a big contest you’re running or your loyalty program – as small items are great way to start building a relationship with new customers. Cost effective items like stickers are also an excellent way to build loyalty because they have a high perceived value. There also a great way to gain greater brand exposure because when people display them on their personal items, they are effectively endorsing you.
Learn more7 Great Trade Show Ideas
Tradeshows are an amazing opportunity for you to network with other companies in your industry, while also showcasing your products and introducing your services. However, it's important to find a way to differentiate yourself because trade shows are generally packed. So, you need to get creative and find a way to make your display stand out because you will be competing with potentially hundreds of other firms to get the attention of the exact same people. Stickerbeat has 7 great trade show ideas to make your display more attractive and get more people interested in learning about your business. Use Stickers to Get People to Your Booth You need to be a little more proactive than just waiting around for people to pass your booth and hope that it catches their eye. Instead, go out into the crowd and hand out stickers with your brand to create awareness. Make sure to encourage people to visit your stand to learn more by promising even more cool giveaways. Stickers are unique in that people really like them and don't consider them promotional materials. They also have a high perceived value, especially if they’re die cut stickers. So, when you hand them out and promise more, the chances of people visiting your stand increase significantly. Of course, you definitely want to brand your stickers, so people know exactly who you are, but also make them fun. That way, when people see other attendees holding your stickers, they’ll be more inclined to search you out, so they can get stickers too. Take Advantage of the Selfie Craze Everyone and their grandmother are constantly taking selfies. It’s gotten to the point where people are obsessed, so providing any type of photo opportunity at your booth can entice a lot of people to come visit. Furthermore, taking a photo together will loosen things up and break the ice, making it easier to connect with potential new clients. You can be even smarter by commissioning a photo frame or using a banner is a background that incorporates your brand. You can be even more creative and offer to send the attendee in question the photo as a sticker – this will significantly increase the perceived value of the giveaway -- as long as they provide you with contact details. This will break the ice even further and you'll be providing them with a giveaway that they aren't going to see from many other companies. Make Your Booth Inviting No matter what your budget is, make sure that the layout of your stand is such that it invites people in. If you've got a long table separating you from the client, this creates the perception of distance and even opposition. So, avoid physical separation as much as possible, and design a layout that people will find welcoming. You’re better off with a simple interactive kiosk or even a tablet on a couch where you both can sit, rather than a table that creates physical and emotional separation. Get Creative with Your Giveaways While you certainly want to provide people with giveaways that they'll keep and that remind them of your brand, you also should consider providing things people actually need while at the tradeshow. For example, everyone needs to charge their phone or mobile device at some point as most attendees are constantly messaging and checking their emails, which tends to drain the power on their devices. So, set up a charging station at your booth and spread the word that visitors can use it freely. You’ll be surprised at the amount of traffic you get. The cool part is that while they're waiting for their device to charge, you can educate them about your business. So, take a moment to think about the last trade show you visited and what would have made your life easier. Free water or coffee? A tote to carry your other giveaways in? A sandwich or a donut? Make a list and decide with your team what would be the most effective option to get people to your booth. Go High Floor space is at a premium at trade shows, so the bigger your booth, the more you're going to pay for it. If you can't really afford an overly large booth, a good way to attract attention is by going high. Hanging overhead displays, like a large-scale vinyl banner suspended from the ceiling, will attract people because they'll see it from a distance and will be curious to discover what's under it. Of course, before you try this approach, you need to speak to the organizers of the trade show to see if they can accommodate your request to hang something from the ceiling. If not, you can still go high with banners suspended on frames. Just be careful and make sure they're safe. Go Interactive Interactive booths have been proven to be highly effective. It gives your guests something to do, while also ensuring that your business is memorable. You can allow people to test out your product, or even set up games, contests, or giveaways. Simple games will make people's visits more entertaining and will also attract other people as word spreads that your booth is a fun place to be. It also helps people relax, making it easier for you to close the sale. Give them a Special Deal One effective way to skyrocket your sales at a trade show is by offering a deal specific to the event. People love getting special deals, so they’ll be excited to learn more. And by confining its availability to the event, you will increase the perceived value of the offer due to scarcity, and you’ll also create a sense of urgency because people will know that once the tradeshow is over, they aren’t going to be getting another opportunity to take advantage. Tradeshows are great opportunities to network and expand your customer base, but it means making sure your booth gets noticed. The aforementioned tips will certainly help you draw more traffic, so make sure to take advantage.

Learn moreThe Diverse Universe of Custom Stickers
Custom stickers have a wide range of applications, whether you’re looking to increase brand exposure, build customer loyalty, or are simply looking for the cost-effective and highly engaging form of marketing for your brand. However, the universe of stickers is highly diverse, and if you aren’t sure what they immobile, it can be difficult to choose the best option for your brand. Below you’ll find some of the most common types of stickers, along with a quick look at what they can be used for and their benefits. Die Cut Stickers Die cut stickers preacher custom shapes as they are cut out along the outline of the design, all the way through the backing paper as well. They can be used for any application and make great giveaways. The main advantage of these types of stickers is they tend to stand out and also have a higher perceived value. They also look great and tend to draw the eye more than other types of stickers, especially if you have a unique design. Geometric Stickers Geometric stickers come in a variety of shapes. They can be round, square, rectangular, oval and so on. They tend to have more space for your design but are still interesting enough to draw the eye. Like die cut stickers, they can be used in a wide range of applications, but they’re especially great when you have a more complex message you want to deliver. Lots of room means your message can be more extensive. However, don’t go overboard because you still want to grab people’s attention and keep it. An overly complex message will do the opposite. Bumper Stickers Bumper stickers are specifically designed to go on cars. They’re weather- and UV-resistant and tend to stand up to harsher environmental conditions quite well. These make a great option for brand exposure, but they’re not that great for complicated messages because the distance is a consideration. After all, if you’re using tiny writing on a bumper sticker, you can’t really expect anyone to see it properly. Remember that bumper stickers can get you a whole lot of exposure – quite a bit more than other types of stickers simply because of where they’re applied. After all, a vehicle tends to get around and be seen by many more eyes than a laptop or backpack, for example. However, to get the most bang for your back, make sure the text is easy to read from a distance and that the design draws the eye without being overly complicated. The simpler it is, the less time someone needs to look at it to get it, which is exactly what you want considering that most people will see it in traffic. Kiss Cut Stickers Kiss cut stickers are sort of like die cut stickers in the sense that the sticker itself is cut out along the outline of the design, but the cut doesn’t go all the way through and the backing paper remains intact. These are a great option for stickers with highly delicate edges that won’t stand up well to a lot of “manhandling” as the backing paper will protect them. Like die cut stickers, they can be used for virtually anything from promoting your brand to supporting your favorite sports team. Clear Stickers Clear stickers are printed on clear vinyl, which makes them excellent for putting on windows or glass walls. The design can be printed on the front or the back, depending on your needs. In other words, you can apply the sticker on the inside of a window and have it facing outwards. These stickers are perfect for store displays or for people to put in their car windows. Remember to consider the application as it will impact the design. A sticker for a car window, for example, should be much simpler in design than one for a shop window. With the latter, people can stop to look at it better, but with the former, this isn’t always the case and to get the greatest degree of exposure, you want people to get the message quickly. Reflective Stickers If you really want everyone to see your stickers, then reflective stickers are a great option. Printed on top-quality reflective material, they come with a really nice shine and glimmer that will undoubtedly draw eyes. They also make great giveaways because they have a high perceived value. Plus, people will be enchanted to receive such amazing-looking stickers and are more likely to display them on their personal belongings. This, in turn, acts as an endorsement for your brand, and no marketing is quite as effective as word-of-mouth marketing. And there’s also the fact that anyone who sees them will want some of their own. Sticker Sheets Sticker sheets are sheets of kiss-cut stickers. In other words, a large sheet with multiple stickers. These are great for a wide range of applications, but especially when you have to remove and apply a lot of stickers. Die-cut stickers are great but removing the backing paper can sometimes be a pain. Conversely, separating stickers from a sheet is much easier and faster. So, if you’re printing labels or envelope seals or pretty much anything that you have to remove in a large quantity, then sticker sheets are your best bet. They also make great giveaways since you can have multiple designs on the same sheet. This is a great way to give out sets of different stickers to people while making sure they’re protected. The world of stickers is certainly a very diverse one, but pretty much all of these stickers are a great option if you’re looking for an engaging marketing approach that won’t cost you an arm and a leg. So, whether you want to let more people know about your brand, or need to advertise a special promotion, or are simply looking for a great but inexpensive way to reward your customers and build loyalty, then custom stickers are definitely your best bet.

Each workshop will take an in-depth look at a specific topic to provide conference attendees with greater insight and information on the topics that matter most to them. Using Stickers as a Powerful E-Commerce Marketing Tool We will be speaking with attendees in the IRCE Exhibit Hall about how their businesses can take full advantage of the benefits of using stickers as a marketing tool. While their business may be an online retailer, they can get extra traction for their marketing message if they also use an "offline" marketing tool: stickers. Free sticker giveaways can support your internet marketing strategy—and that's exactly what we will be demonstrating in real time at Booth 173. Specifically, here are the ways stickers can pull their weight as a piece of the e-commerce marketing plan: Increasing brand awareness Stickers generate more impressions than many other forms of marketing. Building customer loyalty By giving away stickers, you build a network of loyal advocates who will spend more money with your business and will also recommend it to others. Increasing customer engagement Stickers act as endorsements for your company and products. By giving your branded stickers to customers, you are turning them into walking and talking billboards for you. Stickerbeat's Stickers Beat the Competition We use 3M Scotchcal Graphic Film for all our sticker products.

Learn moreHow Colleges and Universities Can Use Custom Stickers
Custom stickers have a wide range of uses because of their perceived value. People just love stickers, whether they display them on their personal belongings or collect them. In many ways, they allow us to let our inner kids out to play without seeming too childish to those around us. And that’s exactly why colleges and universities can use custom stickers to raise morale and encourage students to support their school, their athletic and sports teams, and much more. They also have a number of practical uses, which make them an even more effective tool for any school. Read on to discover a few ways in which your college or university can use custom stickers. Support the Team Custom stickers are a great way students can show their support for your school’s teams. Whether it’s the football team, the basketball team or the swim team, you can get some really nice stickers printed and hand them out to students so they can show their support. After all, every fan wants a way to show their love for their team, and stickers are a great way to do that. Anything from die-cut stickers to sticker sheets will work. In fact, you can do both. Get sticker sheets printed that feature all your sports teams and athletes for those students who want to support all their school’s athletes. Then print individual die-cut stickers for the same teams and athletes for those students who are more passionate about a particular sport. Regardless of your choice, custom stickers make a great option for you to engage students in your school’s sports and athletic events, while also enabling them to show their support. Parking Permits As we said, custom stickers also have practical uses, and one of those is for student and faculty parking permits. Loose permits can get lost and, with time, can fade. Especially if you get a lot sun in your area. Quality stickers, though, can be attached to windshields, which makes losing them a lot more difficult. In fact, it will take someone losing their car to lose their parking permit, and in that case, the permit really doesn’t matter all that much anymore. Plus, custom stickers are UV resistant, which means it will be a long, long time before they fade. In fact, your students will graduate long before that happens. Special Announcements Though our world is very digital and you likely send announcements out via email or your school’s intranet, you also probably put up printed announcements. After all, you have to make sure no one has an excuse to say they didn’t know, especially when it comes to events. Custom stickers are a great way to make these special announcements and promote any events. You can hand them out to the student body, or display them around the school. Support the School Custom stickers are also a great way to enable your students to show their support for their school. After all, everyone is proud of the institution they attend and they should be allowed to show it. And there’s no better way to do that than with some awesome stickers. Not only can they display them on their personal belongings, but they can also keep them as mementos. It’s a lot of fun looking back and remembering all the amazing moments you experienced in college and university. And stickers are a great keepsake to allow your students to do just that in the future, once they’ve graduated and are out in the real world. Inspire Your Students Stickers can also be great inspirational tools. Get a bunch printed with various inspirational messages, along with your school’s name and logo. You’ll inspire students, raise morale, and really show that you care about them, and will help you build a true community. Furthermore, stickers with inspirational messages also help to spark everything from creativity to critical thinking. So, if you really want to have some of the best students around, then make sure you take advantage of stickers with inspirational quotes on them. Promote the School A great way to promote your school and attract more students is by using custom stickers. Students often get stuck on a few ideas in regards to what they consider acceptable colleges, which can make it challenging to garner their interest if your institution is not on the “short list.” So, to get these students interested, you need to take a more creative approach than the usual posters and mugs. In fact, you have to get a bit more creative and stickers are the perfect way to do that. Instead of just printing stickers with your college’s name on them, add funny but inspirational quotes, for example. Others will be more likely to remember the name of your college if they loved the message on the sticker so much, they stuck it on their laptop. You can even print series of stickers and get kids interested by offering a prize to anyone who collects the whole set. It doesn’t have to be anything significant – it can even be another sticker, though it probably has to be a much more awesome sticker to make it worth it. The key is that by getting the kids involved and interacting with your institution’s brand, they are more likely to want to know more. Plus, taking this “fun” approach will make you more interesting to kids because it shows that your institution is creative and isn’t afraid of out-of-the-box thinking. Custom stickers have a wide range of applications. Whether you are looking to boost morale, inspire loyalty, or just give students a fun way to support their team and/or school, custom stickers are the way to go. Besides being cost-effective, they allow for a lot of creative freedom, which makes them even more valuable. After all, the sky really is the limit when it comes to how colleges and universities can use stickers for their students. All you have to do is think a little outside of the box for maximum impact.
