Creative Ways to Use Custom Stickers for Branding

 

Did you know it takes consumers 5 to 7 impressions to remember a brand?

This is why it’s so important in marketing to create opportunities for consumers to interact with your brand name and imagery as frequently as possible. When it comes to this, there is one marketing medium that may be less traditional but is no less compelling: stickers!

They may be small, but they are mighty! These creative little pieces can be a powerful vehicle for marketing your brand. Fun, cost-effective, and easily transportable, stickers are a great token to share with current and prospective customers to help build brand recognition.

However, you must choose the right design and focus on the right tactics to utilize those stickers as best you can. Here are four helpful tips on creatively using stickers to boost your company’s image.

4 Ways to Promote Your Brand with Custom Stickers

1. Special or Exclusive Occasions

One way to use stickers to the advantage of your company is by giving them away at strategic times. The perfect occasion for handing out your stickers would be at a grand opening or a big sale event.

As an inexpensive tangible takeaway item, stickers can easily be mass-produced and handed out at any event, including trade shows or business fairs. Distributing your stickers at high-traffic events like these will help get them into the hands of a greater number of interested customers.

You could even include a sticker along with any free samples, business cards, or coupons that you might be offering at those special events to encourage more people to bring one along with them.

2. Product Packaging

Another creative way to incorporate custom stickers into your branding is by including them with your product packaging. 

To catch consumers’ attention, there are multiple ways to use custom stickers in your packaging design: You can add branded stickers to the outside of the box or use one to seal the box, an envelope, or tissue paper wrapping.

Using a custom sticker on your product packaging will elevate and personalize the look of your product and create a more memorable experience for your customers.

3. Wall or Vehicle Decals

A unique method of utilizing custom stickers for your company branding is turning that sticker design into a decal!

Use stickers to make an eye-catching window or wall decals for your store that highlight new products, promote special discounts, or include eye-catching images associated with your company. Custom stickers are perfect for this purpose since they can be placed and removed for seasonal promotions.

You can also convert custom sticker designs into waterproof car decals or bumper stickers to turn any vehicle into a mobile ad! These can be applied to company vehicles and delivery trucks or even handed out or sold to customers.

4. Social Media Connection

Social media and digital marketing are powerful tools for connecting with customers and spreading brand awareness. One way to increase the impact of a marketing tool like custom stickers is by combining those stickers with your company’s online platforms.

There are endless possibilities as to how you can incorporate social media into your company’s custom stickers. You could hold an online contest or giveaway for those who follow your social media account, offering a bundle of stickers as the prize. On the other hand, you could encourage consumers to post photos of places where they’ve placed your stickers (water bottles, laptops, etc) on your accounts for the chance to win a contest. You could also print a QR code on your custom stickers linked to your company’s website or social media page.

Should You Ditch Your Generic Templates This Year? (Spoiler: Yes.)

  If you’ve ever opened a brochure and thought, “Wait… haven’t I seen this before?” there’s a good chance you have. Generic templates get around. They’re the social butterflies of the design world: everywhere, with everyone, all at once. They’re convenient, sure. But they also create the kind of déjà vu that makes your brand blend right into the background. So, let’s talk about those templates you’ve been using “just until we have time to update this.” (Spoiler: it’s been three years.) Templates Were Designed to Be Easy, Not Unique There’s no shame in starting with a template. They’re fast. They’re accessible. They make you feel like a design wizard in minutes. But here’s the catch: templates were built to work for anyone. Which means they usually end up working for everyone. That postcard you like? Someone else likes it, too. Actually… a few thousand someone elses. Your brand deserves more than a layout designed for whoever clicked “download” that day. When “Good Enough” ...

What Would Happen If You Put the Right Banner in the Right Place?

  Not every marketing tactic has to be big or complicated. Sometimes, it just needs to be seen. Here’s a look at how different types of local retailers might use banners this season, and what could happen if they placed the right one in the right place. Imagine This: A Pet Supply Store Near a Dog Park Business slows after the summer rush. The pet shop is tucked just off the main road, and most traffic goes right past the plaza without ever noticing it. The owner puts up a banner near the entrance to the nearby dog park. It reads: "Local Treats, Leashes & Toys – 2 Blocks Away →" It’s printed with a paw-print border and hung between two fence posts where pet parents can’t miss it as they head in or out. In just a few days, new customers start mentioning the banner. Some come in just to browse, while others sign up for the store’s loyalty program. It's not a huge campaign, but it works because it’s right where the audience is. Imagine This: A Boutique That’s Host...

Beyond the Party: 5 Smart Print Projects That Shine This Holiday Season

  The calendar’s full, the deadlines are tight, and everyone’s trying to make a good final impression before the year wraps up. If you didn’t plan your marketing early this year, that doesn’t mean it’s too late to make your brand shine. Even a few small print pieces can help you stay visible, thoughtful, and connected during the busiest time of year. Here are five smart print ideas that work beautifully now and are worth bookmarking for next year’s plan. 1. Printed Thank-You Cards There’s something about a printed thank-you that never goes out of style.  Amidst this season full of mass emails and automated messages, a card with a short, handwritten note feels surprisingly personal. Use them to thank clients, donors, volunteers, or vendors. Keep the message simple: a warm “we appreciate you” and a reminder that you value the relationship. If you’re too busy to handwrite each one, try a hybrid approach: print a short, heartfelt message inside and add a quick signature. It...
