Using digitally printable PSA vinyl for decorating interior and exterior walls has become more mainstream and trendy over the past several years. For the interior design industry, vinyl is now the preferred choice over wallpaper because of the ease of application. From the point of view of a novice, applying any vinyl over an existing wall may appear simple and straight forward, but there are many important steps that should not be overlooked because these can make or break a potential project.

Awnings, like signs and digital graphics, have evolved tremendously through the years to become an integral component of architecture and branding. They have the ability to blend the two together uniquely and beautifully. Add print and graphics to them and they now also become an extension of brand, signage and display. Awnings have always possessed the functions of shade and protection. However, the list of qualities and characteristics attributed to them today is growing as they present opportunities for graphics to the point of becoming an often preferred method for branding while maintaining their architectural features. Developers, particularly in retail and quick service restaurants (QSR), are applying graphic-covered awnings to their store fronts as a primary means of drawing attention, adding ornamental detail and extending their brand. They are building impressions.

Grand-format textile printing was once the realm of a few shops, but as technology has come way down in price, it has made the technology more mainstream.
“We’re printing at a higher resolution today, at faster speeds and at reasonable acquisition costs,” says Mike Wozny, senior product manager for EFI in Meredith, N.H. “It is really driving growth in this space. Each and every day new applications are coming online.”
From huge wall murals and awnings to umbrellas and backlit signs, grand-format textile printing is only limited by someone’s imagination.

Banners are certainly a way of life in the print world. It’s helpful to know what design techniques work best in assembling long or tall formatted images. The horizontal banner is very likely the first thing a visitor sees when walking into a store. The banner sets the tone and ambiance of a space and impresses the viewer immediately by the quality of its design, and the impact of its graphics. The banner can also inform the viewer the name of the place, company or product. It may display a corporate logo, incorporate high impact photography or art and usually has some descriptive text. That's a lot to ask of a skinny piece of vinyl!

When I think about the sign suppliers that I order materials from one of the biggest factors is customer service. While pricing is of course kept in mind, it's the ease of ordering, the follow up on any special requests and the account management we receive from the sales reps that visit us.
Customer service, and being made to feel important, is a big part of all repeat experiences. For example, we'll return to a restaurant if it has exceptional service even if the prices are a little higher than another restaurant. We shop at Costco because they sell quality merchandise, keep track of our purchases and make returns really easy.
So what does all this have to do with selling vehicle graphics? Everything, actually.
My point is that good customer service and making your clients feel as important as they really are, is what keeps them coming back to you. One vehicle turns into two, which turns into a fleet over time. In this article we'll discuss some easy ways to improve your fleet account management before, during and after the vehicles are at your shop.
