More people are choosing to remodel or build additions to their homes than ever before. Instead of venturing into the mercurial housing market, homeowners are choosing to upgrade their homes. This is making the general contracting industry more profitable and more competitive than ever before. With the competition so fierce, you need to use every resource available to you for getting your name in front of potential customers.

A growing number of general contractors are turning to spot vehicle graphics for Northeast Ohio for their fleet of work trucks. This gets their name out there on the road and on the jobsite, where they are showcasing their work. OnSite General Contractors appreciated the importance of building their name recognition throughout the area, so they contacted Epic Signs & Graphics for contractor van decals in Northeast Ohio.

Some Information About Our Client

From their headquarters on Sharon Drive in Westlake, OnSite General Contractors is made up of a team of experienced professionals, who work together to complete high quality projects that exceed their clients’ expectations. They remodel, build, and design bathrooms, kitchens, basements, decks, and more.

When a company that provides such a valuable service to local homeowners came to us for vehicle vinyl lettering in Northeast OH, we were more than happy to get right down to work. We began designing sharp, vibrant graphics for OnSite after we acquired a good understanding of their vision and goals during the initial consultation.

OnSite already had the artwork they wanted us to use. We had to incorporate this artwork into a layout that would be attention grabbing and memorable. After we created the design, we provided a proof for OnSite. Once they approved of the design, we used our wide format digital printers to print the design on Oracal cut vinyl. Finally, we installed the graphics professionally. In the end, they were ecstatic about the results.

Van Graphics for Your Fleet

You do not always need expensive full vehicle wraps to get the attention of pedestrians and fellow drivers. In fact, if you have a white van or other solid colored vehicle, you can use fun, custom spot graphics. This is what OnSite chose for their white van. On the back and sides of their van, they advertise their company information and logo.

Take a moment to look at what we did for OnSite. You will notice that their services and a phone number for contacting them are easily readable. On average, people will have about three seconds to look at your graphics. This makes it imperative that you only include pertinent information on your vehicle and that it is simple for passersby to read it in a hurry. These principles guide us in our graphics creation process.

Virtually any image you can imagine can be produced on your contractor van with modern cutting edge materials and technology. If you would like to boost your advertising with effective and inexpensive vehicle graphics, contact Epic Signs & Graphics today!

The business world is a busy place with companies merging and buying each other out all the time. Plus, to keep up with the times, you need access to new product offerings that utilize the latest technology. Part of promoting these changes to your enterprise is updating your signage to reflect your branding and marketing campaigns. Great Day Improvements recognized this signage need and called Epic Signs & Graphics to help them refurbish their cabinet and monument signs for their Cleveland offices. We were also able to help with an exterior banner sign!

The Client

Great Day Improvements, headquartered in Macedonia, OH, provides real home improvement options. They are the exclusive installers and manufacturers of Stanek Windows, Patio Enclosures brand screen rooms and sunrooms, and most recently SoftWall Finishing Systems. Their goal is to make your door, sunroom, basement finishing, or window project stress free and simple.

When a company that provides such a valuable service to local homeowners came to us for updates to their cabinet and monument signs in Cleveland, we quickly went to work. Great Day wanted us to create outstanding signs that showcased their major brands. Our first step was to get them a quote in a hurry. Once they were happy with that, we secured all of the necessary permits from the city and removed the old vinyl.

Using our HP 25500 Latex printer, we perfectly replicated Great Day’s logos and colors on premium white vinyl for both signs. We then reinstalled the new faces. And, over the faces we applied UV rated laminate to ensure the signs would remain vibrant for many years to come. We not only saved them money by not performing an unnecessary total replacement of the signs, but we performed the work efficiently and fast.

For their banner sign, Great Day Improvements provided the art and we completed the printing and installation. The material for this exterior banner is 9-ounce mesh banner material which works great to keep wind from pulling it off the wall. It was Installed using 3-inch galvanized screws and anchors. The sides were reinforced with webbed hems to provide more security and to prevent damage from outdoor weather.

We specialize in both illuminated and non-illuminated cabinet signs. If you are just leasing your storefront, we can work with your landlord to make certain your signs are up to their standards.

Our banners can be printed and installed quickly and we only use heavy duty vinyl for all of our banners.

Increasing your bottom line and bringing in new leads for your company are the ultimate goals of having custom car stickers. You might not get these results if you purchase your vinyl graphics and then leave your car sitting in your garage. It is going to take a small amount of effort on your part to make your stickers work for you. To help you with this, Epic Signs & Graphics has put together a guide for you.

1. Drive Courteously

At some point in our lives, each of us has driven in a way that we are not too proud of. We will just keep this as our little secret. However, we bring this up because you will need to be a bit more cautious in your driving now that you are sporting car stickers. Cleveland drivers will be likelier to give you their business if you are a courteous driver than if you cut them off in traffic without using your blinker while giving them the finger.

2. Drive a Lot

You are reaching potential clients every time you take to the roads with your vehicle graphics. You will get new calls if they can see your message and remember you. Other drivers may have a need for your service, but they have been putting off calling. Once they see your car stickers, it will remind them to seek out your services. The more you get in front of potential clients, the more sales you can expect.

3. Keep Them Clean

One of the more critical aspects of your mobile marketing campaign is keeping your vehicle stickers clean. This is because your campaign will be shortened when your dirty vinyl graphics begin to crack and brown after prolonged abuse. When waxed often and cared for properly, a clean car graphic can last your company up to six years or more. You will want to protect your investment once you spend the money on car decals.

4. Park Strategically

When taking your truck to public parking lots, you need to think about where the best place is to park. We strategically park our company vehicles anywhere we go because we want our vehicle wraps to be seen. Unless they are all taken, always go for the front row spots. People will either strike up a conversation or give you a call when they see it. You would be surprised by how many conversions your enterprise can get by engaging in courteous and kind conversations spurred on by your vehicle graphics.

5. Keep the Design Simple

Cluttered designs always lose out to those that have easy to read and large messages. It is likely that people will only have about three seconds to look at your car stickers. Therefore, they need to be able to understand the message you are trying to get across efficiently and quickly.

If you are looking for car stickers that will get your business noticed, call Epic Signs & Graphics for a free consultation.
