Last year we shared 2010’s biggest sign fails, now let’s take a peek into 2011’s misspelled signs so far!

Ironically, this sign fails to make its point. We wonder how long this marquee lasted.

Imagine children standing by the crosswalk reading this, not the most educating school district. Let’s just hope it gets repainted by next semester.

Now, this is definitely the wrong message a business wants to send to their new or current customers.  Let SignsInASnap bring new management in with a bang with our custom vinyl banners. Guaranteed to make a lasting impression and let your competitors know you mean business.

Don’t they want people to take them seriously? They should have called SignsInASnap!

Advertising is a crucial part of a success. A custom banner will not only attract customers, it will leave your business, fashion show, or yard sale with professionalism. Do not make the mistake of misspelled words on your sign. Let the professionals at SignsInASnap work our magic!

1. Have your biggest vinyl banner at the entrance. This will catch the audience’s attention and remind them why they are there.
2. Put a number of banners in a row. The more banners, the more of an impact your will make on the audience. You will capture their attention for a longer period of time. Don’t stress about costs because at SignInASnap we have custom vinyl banners at a price you’ll love!
3. Never place your banners next to brightly colored or large object. They will distract from the content of your sign.

Hosting an event can be hard work, but by keeping these tips in mind, you are sure to make a difference with your advertising and audience impact!

1. When Parker Pen marketed a ballpoint pen in Mexico, its ads were supposed to have read, “It won’t leak in your pocket and embarrass you.” Instead, the company thought that the word “embarazar” (to impregnate) meant to embarrass, so the ad read: “It won’t leak in your pocket and make you pregnant.”

2. In Spain, when Coors Brewing Company put its slogan, “Turn it loose” into Spanish; it was read as “Suffer from diarrhea”.

3. When Braniff International Airways translated a slogan touting its upholstery, “Fly in leather”, it came out in Spanish as “Fly naked”.

4. When Pepsi started marketing its products in China a few years back, they translated their slogan, “Pepsi Brings You Back to Life” pretty literally. The slogan in Chinese really meant, “Pepsi Brings Your Ancestors Back from the Grave.”

5. PepsiCola lost it dominant market share to Coke in South East Asia when Pepsi changed the color of its vending machines and coolers from deep “Regal” blue to light “Ice” blue as light blue is associated with death and mourning in SE Asia.

Looking to promote your company across multiple cultures and languages? Whether you are using an online campaign or making custom vinyl banners and signs, take a note from these mistakes and work with locals of the various regions to ensure your messages comes across clearly and correctly!

It’s not always enough to just put a few yard signs out, think high, proud and loud when trying to draw large crowds to a specific location. Because these will be on a much smaller scale than your typical custom vinyl banner, you’ll want to keep the imagery and message as simple as possible.

Find a simple, yet bold graphic that best encompasses your message and stick to the basics, event name, date, time and location. Running out of room? Use different signs for different parts of the message. Keep the graphic and title on each banner but use one to announce when and another to announce when and alternate the message.

Turns out they were new to the building and were trying to start the process of getting their window signage updated with our cut vinyl graphics and lettering. We gladly offered our assistance in correcting the window display and wondered how many other companies were inadvertently hurting their business by inaccurately displaying their company name.

Window signage is crucial for businesses of any size, new or old. Not only does it verify to your current and potential customer who the company is, but it is also the first impression your company makes to everyone entering your building or office.

Proper entry displays on windows and doors reassure the customer they are at the right location – as was the problem in our situation we previously described. Problems can also arise when a customer is not familiar with the location, and cannot find the proper window signage. The customer is aggravated and displeased at this point and could potentially hurt the outcome of your future relationship. Make it easier for everyone and brand your company effectively from all angles, especially the entrance to your business.

Not only is proper window display and identification helpful, and often vital, for customer satisfaction but is also often the first representation someone has of your company. We all know what a first impression can do for us personally – it can make us or break us. But how many people truly think about the first impression their business is making? First impressions are extremely important in today’s competitive business world. Bold, brilliant, and creative window signage will help assure your company will be noticed and never overlooked. Who wants to be boring, when you can be brilliant? Talk to us today to see how we can help you put your best foot forward!
