With how much wraps are used to market companies, it always surprises us when we hear about or see wraps that are not cared for properly or at all. We have repaired wraps where the owner got in an accident six months after the installation, there were still grease pencil alignment marks on the wrap from the original installation. This wrap clearly had not been cleaned at all. To help you keep your wrap clean so it can represent your business well, The Sign Center has put together this little guide so you too will learn the importance of caring for your vehicle wraps.

There are tens of thousands of car dealerships in this country. And every day, the dealerships that are not able to keep up with the competition are forced to close their doors, and new ones run by brilliant entrepreneurs are taking their place. In such a competitive marketplace, dealership owners need to pull out all the stops to stay in business. Brown Daub Kia recognized this, and they decided to promote their business by calling The Sign Center for custom promotional vehicle graphics for Easton PA.

As a landscaper, you need to put your company information out there for people to see if you want to be competitive. One effective way for getting your message out there is using billboards and other signage. However, these can be easy to miss. You will find that landscaper van wraps for Berkeley Heights NJ are a great investment for your enterprise if you want signs that attract lots of people and draw attention to your business. Hall’s Garden Center understood the benefits of vinyl wraps for their delivery vehicles and called The Sign Center for the advertising boost.

Advertising that truly gets results is crucial when it comes to advertising your Union NJ business. With most promotional methods, you not only have to pay to have the ad produced, but you also have to pay for each time it is displayed. To have your content placed again and again in newspapers, magazines, or on billboards, you have to pay for every placement. This is not the case with contractor truck graphics in Union NJ. Reliable Home Inspection recognized this and gave The Sign Center a call for professionally designed and installed vehicle wraps.

Are you afraid that a new paint job will make your care unsellable down the road, yet you want a new look for your ride? Or, maybe you want to use your company van to advertise your business? Vinyl vehicle wraps can serve both of these purposes. Panels of sticky vinyl wraps are often applied to vans, cars, or trucks to change their appearance or to protect the paintwork. You will have many vehicle wrap options to choose from when you go with The Sign Center. Read on for your guide to car wraps for Northern NJ!

What is the most cost effective way to advertise these days?

The Sign Center partnered with Taylor Rental, the premier fullservice rentalcompany in central and northernNewJersey, to provide the company's new vehicle graphics for their commercial fleet. We custom design each vehicle graphic to match the purpose of the vehicle while ensuring a consistent brand message for Taylor Rental. 

Customizing Your Message
Taylor Rental offers a wide range of rental services, a hallmark of their company identity since 1969 when they first opened. Clients can take care of all their rental needs from party supplies to power tools to medical equipment. This wide range of services attracts a wide range of clients.

Taylor Rental's vehicle wraps, therefore, must showcase the range of services they provide as well. The wraps for the party division of their company features a party tent, with a view of tables, chairs and lighting you need to accompany a party tent rental. 

The individualized wrap highlights the party services of the larger company while still promoting the company as a whole. 

Mobile Marketing
Vehicle graphics, like the graphics Taylor Rental has chosen for their fleet, spread your company's marketing message much further than traditional marketing message and to a broader audience that might not otherwise have known about the services Taylor Rental offers. 

For example, as the company's party division van drops off or picks up equipment from an event, guests at the event will see the graphics, know the company offers party rental services, and also get the important information they need to contact the company themselves. 

Taylor Rental vehicle wraps include:

• The company name;
• A phone number;
• A website to contact the company;
• And a short list of the services the company offers in addition to party equipment rentals.

Essentially, the fleet comprise a moving billboard attracting new customers or old customers unfamiliar with other services Taylor Rental might provide. 

Think Outside the Sign
At The Sign Center, we encourage our clients, like our partners at Taylor Rentals, to think about signage in more creative ways. Vehicle wraps and graphics are one way to think differently about how to incorporate signage into your marketing business model. 

Awnings, banners, wall graphics, and pop up stands and displays also take your brand message beyond simple directional signs or signs to announce your location. Signage becomes a part of your overall marketing message when it's incorporated into every aspect of your business, particularly those aspects that have a physical presence, like your company fleet.

The Chatham Club has turned to the Sign Center to create the new entrance signage for this well-established squash club and fitness center. The monument sign the club chose makes it easy for guests, members and new visitors to quickly find and locate the club, while also standing up to the weather so it will look good for the long run. 

Squash Enthusiasts Build a Home
In 1976, a group of squash fans from New Jersey broke ground on a new clubhouse, creating a space for people to come and play squash, learn about the game and enjoy the community of fellow squash players. The initial facility included six courts, locker rooms, a sauna and a baby-sitting service so parents could enjoy their favorite game. 

As the years went own, the Chatham Club has grown and expanded along with its members, adding gym equipment, a spinning room, a Pilates facility and more to meet the needs of the community. Through the years, the Chatham Club has remained committed to providing service to the community both through their mission as a sports club and through contributions to local service organizations. 

Entrances with Presence
The new monument sign the Chatham Club chose for their entrance signage establishes a strong presence for the Chatham Club both for returning members and new visitors alike.

Monument signs have a heft and permanence to them making them ideal for entrances to office parks, shopping centers and places like the Chatham Club that sit off of the main road. These signs are large without becoming overly obtrusive or obnoxious. 

They also project a certain dignity through their style and simplicity. Locations like the Chatham Club do not need a sign with blinking lights or bright colors. They need a sign to match their history, mission and long-standing connection to the community. Monument signs meet this goal. 

Endurance: Signs and Organizations
Another reason monument signs make a great choice for institutions like the Chatham Club is because the signs are crated to hold up against time and the elements, just like the Chatham Club brand.

After more than 35 years of service to the community, the Chatham Club has established its brand within the community. It needs a sign that can continue to serve the club through the years. Monument signs are built with weather resistant materials and come with a five year guarantee against the weather, which can erode materials, paint and reduce the overall quality of a sign.

Let your entrance signage speak volumes about your organization by choosing a monument sign. The Chatham Club's new entrance sign will continue to serve the club and community for years to come.

Hall's Garden Center of Berkeley Heights has chosen The Sign Center to create their vehicle and building graphics. The vehicle graphics and building sign mirror the garden center's cohesive graphics message, brings a new presence into the community, and draws customers to the center with simple marketing messages. 

A Strong Brand Message
Hall's Garden Center has a simple logo with clean graphics and the outline of a gingko biloba leaf. The beautiful, simple graphic has a presence on their website, mobile site and printed materials. Now the message extends to the delivery and service vehicles the garden center uses as well.

Each step a business takes to make a brand message consistent throughout the customer experience strengthens the brand. For example, a customer who visits Hall's website first can easily recognize the garden center when visiting for the first time because the graphics look exactly the same. Customers know they have come to the right place.

Enhancing Community Presence 
Hall's Garden Center offers many services that take their vehicles into the community. This includes their florist department, delivery, design and build services, and "helping hand" service to assist customers building and assembling their purchases.

When the garden center's vehicles go out into the community to provide these services, their vehicle graphics enhance their presence and show the garden center as an active part of a neighborhood. Potential customers will see Hall's as a service that exists beyond just a nursery or shopping destination. 

Marketing Made Easy
Businesses are always on the lookout for new marketing opportunities. Vehicle graphics provide a quick, easy and simply way to extend a marketing campaign. 

The vehicle wrap we completed for Hall's Garden Center includes the basic information any potential customer would need to know about a business:

• The name and logo;
• A phone number for the business;
• The business address;
• And website addresses for both the garden center and the florist service.

Potential customers who see the vehicles learn everything they need to know about the garden center and can immediately take action to interact with the business either by calling the center or using their mobile device to visit the website. 

The benefit of this sort of marketing is that it fits under the inbound marketing umbrella. It doesn't bug potential customers with unsolicited messages. Vehicles simply go about their business attracting attention from customers looking for a garden service. 

Hall's Garden Center has built up their brand, developed a community presence and enhanced their marketing campaign through a partnership with The Sign Center. How can we help you achieve your business goals?
