How to Earn More on Selling Banners?
Banners are products with enormous potential. They are relatively easy for printing houses to create, and their versatility allows them to be purchased by both companies and individual customers. Therefore, the range of potential customers for banners is vast. Additionally, banners offer a unique opportunity for creative expression, allowing businesses and individuals to showcase their brand or message in a visually impactful way. Their durability makes them a cost-effective advertising solution, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Moreover, with advances in digital printing technology, custom designs can be produced quickly and in high quality. This accessibility and ease of customization make banners an attractive choice for short-term promotions or long-term installations.
Banners are created from various materials, depending on their intended purpose. Canvas and polyester are commonly used for indoor banners, while various types of vinyl are preferred for outdoor banners. The printing methods for banners vary based on the chosen material, as well as other factors like the desired print output, expected quality, and any necessary material refinements. The most popular printing techniques for such large-format materials include solvent printing, UV printing, and latex printing.
In the context of company advertising, banners are primarily used to attract customer attention. They serve as tools to enhance brand recognition among potential customers, featuring marketing content, slogans, and information about various products or events. However, for individual clients, banners are often created for personal occasions such as graduations, birthdays, weddings, or corporate events.
Are you selling banners to B2B companies and looking for a way to increase sales? We have a solution for that!
If you are selling banners to B2B companies, you’re likely accustomed to receiving orders in larger quantities. Moreover, these companies often provide ready-to-print files. Representatives of such companies are typically skilled in preparing files as 1:1 PDFs, with fonts converted to curves, and are knowledgeable about concepts like CMYK and Fogra39.
If you sell banners to B2B customers and are looking to expand your customer base and increase profits, entry into the B2C market is a wise move. B2C customers often have higher expectations for personalization options, typically purchase in smaller quantities, and frequently lack the necessary tools to prepare print files themselves. Most importantly, in many cases, individual customers lack knowledge about CMYK and Fogra39 concepts, making it challenging to work out the details of personalized banners with them. However, despite these challenges, selling personalized banners to individual customers can be highly profitable, especially when you provide options for extensive customization.
What motivates the trend towards highly personalized banners, and what are the benefits of including these products in your offerings?
Highly personalized products and photo gifts are closely linked to emotions, leading people to willingly pay an additional 20% to 50% for the option to include more photos, as this enhances the memories and emotions evoked. Elements that add a unique character to banners, like incorporating text, adding clipart, editing photos with filters, or choosing a customer’s favorite background color, further increase the emotional value of these products. Consequently, offering highly personalized banners can not only enable you to double your margin but also delight customers with the extensive customization options available for their designs.
Understanding that adding highly personalized banners to your offerings and catering to individual customers can be very profitable, it’s essential to learn how to create such products efficiently, without increasing production time. Crafting these products without the appropriate software is virtually impossible; coordinating with customers via email about photo placements on the banner design, preparing proofs for approval, and making changes is extremely time-consuming and often unprofitable. Offering a personalized print creator that allows customers to independently design their own projects is an invaluable asset. It not only enhances customer satisfaction but also reduces the workload for printing house employees when processing orders.
If you are already selling highly personalized banners for both B2B and B2C customers, you can leverage the capabilities of your equipment and expand your offerings with a unique product: custom stickers!
