Broaden Your Marketing Reach through Bumper Stickers

By: Buck Thompson

Do you know about bumper stickers? It is actually a marketing tool that is easy as well as inexpensive. It is a perfect choice for you if you have target customers at a location, or your customer belongs to a particular category (like moms in the range 25-35). All it costs is about 25 cents per sticker but it gives you a huge amount of profit. Lets discuss it in more details.
First we must know what bumper stickers are. Bumper stickers are adhesive labels or stickers which have a message printed on them. You are supposed to stick it on the bumper of an automobile so that people sitting in other vehicles can read it ? some people do stick it on other objects too.
These stickers attract attention when people go to the parking lot, or when they are following another vehicle and even when they are on road and your car crosses them. They spread your word and create a 'touch point' with all these people and the best part is that you yourself don't even need to be there!
You can get bumper sticker made as per your requirements. Though there are no set rules but you should keep few things in mind. Don't make them too big as then people will refuse to put them on their cars and if it is too small, it will hardly get noticed. You can get them made the way you want.
This flexibility also creates some problems. If your sticker is designed with just your logo or with plenty of text or it oversells your product, it will not be of much help to you. If you really want it to work, it should be able to connect with the customers. Either it should help them in some way or it should be witty and humorous or it should have ideas similar to those people. A perfect one actually helps THEM express themselves.
Imagine how wonderful your customers would feel that by just putting your sticker on their bumper, they are actually expressing themselves. Innovation is the secret for success here. Let your customer use your bumper sticker and do the marketing for you.
Bumper stickers can have some tips (maintenance of furniture, if you have a furniture store), or any other marketing message on it. Be trendy and imaginative! For example, make stickers to support any sports group or various sports groups or even for each of the rival sports group. You can use the same principle for politics too (like a presidential elections) but of course it is very risky.
There are other ways to make your bumper sticker more viral. Make it 'scarce' and make it a status symbol. People love that. They want to make sure they have it and show it off. More people notice your sticker, and more people want it. How cool is that?
Use bumper stickers with responsibility. And use it smartly. They will reward you with lot of referring customers and profits.
