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.

Make a Statement with Flyers: 5 Things You Might Not Know About Effective Design

  Flyers have been around for decades, but they’re anything but old news. In fact, when done well, they can be one of the most cost-effective and attention-grabbing tools in your marketing mix. The trick? Knowing what most people miss. Here are five flyer design strategies that often go overlooked—and how you can use them to your advantage. 1. Headlines Don’t Have to Explain—They Have to Stop People Your headline isn’t a label. It’s a hook. A lot of flyers start with something safe: “Annual Clearance Sale” or “Join Us for Our Spring Open House.” That’s fine—but it’s also forgettable. If you want someone to actually read your flyer, the headline has to stop them in their tracks. Some options to consider: Ask a question: “Tired of Overpaying for Car Repairs?” Use urgency: “This Weekend Only. No Extensions.” Go bold: “You Bring the Crowd. We’ll Bring the Fireworks.” You can always explain more in the subhead. But the headline’s job is to earn that second glance. 2. White Spa...

Showcase Your Brand with Unique Printing Techniques That Reflect Your Style

  Your print materials don’t just share information—they express who you are. Whether you’re designing brochures, business cards, or product packaging, the finishing choices you make can help your brand stand out in ways that are memorable, tactile, and entirely you. But not every technique fits every brand. What feels premium to one customer might feel over-the-top to another. Here’s how to think about pairing your brand’s personality with unique printing techniques that leave a lasting impression. The Bold and Energetic Brand You’re not trying to blend in—you want to get noticed. For brands with a high-energy identity—think entertainment, retail, hospitality, events—the goal is to attract attention fast. That doesn’t mean going over the top. It means choosing finishes that emphasize movement, light, or contrast. Examples to consider: Spot UV that highlights just one element (like a logo or product image) against a matte background Neon inks for a punch of color that sta...

Patriotic Designs for Memorial Day: H.O.N.O.R. in Print

Memorial Day is a time for reflection—a chance to express gratitude, remember those who served, and unite communities around a shared sense of purpose. While print can’t encapsulate the weight of sacrifice, it plays a quiet and important role in how we honor it. Here’s how thoughtful design helped this year’s Memorial Day messages resonate, using a format that reflects the heart of the holiday itself. H — Hold Space for Stillness Not every flyer needs to be loud to be effective. In fact, the best Memorial Day designs created room for the message to breathe. Whether it was ample white space or a single symbolic image—a folded flag, a solitary silhouette, a poppy in bloom—this restraint helped invite reflection. Design takeaway: When designing for remembrance, let stillness speak. Skip the clutter. Choose fewer elements with more weight. O — Opt for Meaningful Color Red, white, and blue are foundational to patriotic design—but not every campaign needs to use them at full saturat...
