Custom Calendars Autumn is a wonderful time to prep for the new year.

January arrives faster than you think! And, a new year means new calendars. A popular leave-behind item, calendars are used all year-round - that's 12-months of brand awareness!

The more creative you get, the more likely clients will keep calendars longer than a year.

Calendars come in a range of all shapes and sizes. A few of our favorites are classic coil, planner style, hanging wall, oversized desk, and table tent calendars. There are tons of new ideas out there too, like puzzle or stackable Lego calendars. How cool is that?!

Content is a key element in the design of calendars. High quality scenic, cute, or fun photos capture the attention of customers and leaves a lasting impression, which will bring them back for years to come.

Time to get creative!

Wide Format Window Solutions Leaves are changing colors and the cool air is moving in.

It is the perfect time of year for installation of indoor and outdoor wide format print projects, including window solutions. The new year is just around the corner, so switching out old with new or updating branding will provide a fresh start. Window graphics, perforation, or clings are a great tool for marketing your business.

Importance of Graphics The window of a storefront is the first impression for a customer. And not only are window decals or a decorative window film great for retail stores, they help corporate offices stand out from the competition as well.

Advertising

specials, or latest deals and services will give an extra boost to your sales and let customers know what you have to offer.

Create Intimacy Sometimes people passing by don’t need to see everything that goes on inside your business. Other times, there are simply too many distractions outside. A decorative window film quickly solves these problems and gives the privacy that your clients seek. You can even use the sun to your advantage. Use a decal to shield eyes from the sun’s bright rays while making the colors on your window graphic pop.

Better View

Window graphics are an instant and inexpensive way to communicate to customers who you are and what you do.

Word-of-mouth will spread like wildfire, growing your client base. Window graphics are one of the best ways to maximize your message.

Things like a brick wall, back alley, or the dumpsters are not the ideal view for an office. Instead of covering the sight with clunky blinds, consider installing a window graphic instead. Use the graphic to thank your customers for their business, build your brand or offer helpful information.

Brand Recognition

Directional Help

To grow a business, you have to build a brand. A plain window doesn’t say much to a person passing by, but a clever window decal will turn heads and build invaluable brand recognition.

When people pull instead of push, get confused about parking or don’t know which door to use, let a window decal give the message. The last thing you want to do is frustrate a customer before they even walk through the door.

Retail Specials You can only do so much advertising in newspapers, through social networking sites and on other forms of media. For retail businesses, displays with discounts,

Placement Strategy The windows on your business aren’t the only areas where you can use decals. Share information and build brand

awareness in your area by placing decals on the windows of company vehicles, home offices, and more. Sometimes all it takes to catch the eye of prospective customers is a clever window graphic placed in a strategic location.

Indoor vs. Outdoor Conlin's can create crisp graphics for indoor or outdoor settings that will help you get you noticed. Indoor window decals could have adhesive on the front or can be made as clings with graphics on both or one side. Indoor graphics can be seen from the outside while protecting the graphic from the outdoor elements. Outdoor displays can have a strong adhesive that can withstand the outdoor elements.

Vinyl lettering is a popular choice for outdoors.
