Have you noticed the increasing popularity of wall murals in businesses around Cleveland? Companies around town are recognizing the utility of these wall decorations as great for creating a relaxing or professional atmosphere and improved branding. In this entry, we will cover just some of the ways your restaurant can advertise, market, and brand using digitally printed wallpaper.

If you own a popular restaurant, it is likely you have had to deal with individuals upset with long wait times. You can help assuage any mounting frustration for waiting parties by providing them with an idyllic lake, Italian farmhouse and garden, or a tropical beach to look at rather than a blank wall. The stress and waning patience caused by waiting can be neutralized with calming murals skillfully placed in your waiting areas.

Match Your Restaurant’s Theme

Use a kind of wall mural that ties in the theme of your business. For example, if your restaurant specializes in the cuisine for a specific country, you can create the prefect atmosphere with wall graphics displaying scenes from that country. Perhaps, the canals of Venice can spruce up your Italian restaurant. Or, a Japanese pagoda will set the scene for your sushi bar.

Does your restaurant cater more to families? Do you try to attract birthday parties and youngsters? Kids may not appreciate the pagoda and canals mentioned above, but wall murals with cartoon characters, trains, cuddly baby animals, or dinosaurs will hold their attention. Screaming children can ruin the dining experience for other patrons: engaging digitally printed wallpaper will help distract these youngsters.

Aid with Brand Recognition

Using custom wall graphics for Cleveland restaurant owners can create a strong dining and branding association. You can soothe and entice customers and brand and promote by installing graphics in your restaurant. When it comes to taking your marketing ideas and plugging them into aesthetically and visually stunning mural displays, Epic Signs & Graphics offers you unlimited options.

Is there a particular dish that your restaurant is known for? You can have it transformed into a mural from a photograph. Customers new to your restaurant can immediately see what you have to offer and mouths will start watering. This is particularly effective for dishes you would like to promote for the long term.

You can demonstrate your restaurant’s commitment to excellence by using digitally printed wallpaper with images of your chefs and servers at work, fresh ingredients, and customers enjoying their experience. These images will subconsciously set the atmosphere for your diners to have a great time.

Wall graphics can bring unlimited added functionality and enjoyment to your restaurant. You can use them for advertising, relaxation, and marketing. You will be amazed by the compliments you receive when you set the tone for your restaurant’s atmosphere.

What Signs Do You Need?

Some of the construction signage products Epic Signs & Graphics recommends inlcude:

Monument Signs

To identify the name of some of the tenants and the building, new buildings need a monument sign. The colors, materials, and designs for these signs are seemingly endless, whether it is an illuminated cabinet with interchangeable sign faces, simple sandblasted wood signs, or a versatile concrete monument sign. Our experts will help you determine the best monument sign based on city code, maximizing the utility and purpose of the sign, and working with the building’s aesthetics. The tone of how a building is received and how it is first identified by visitors is heavily influenced by the monument sign. Making a strong first impression is always important.

Parking and Regulatory

Compliance with government regulations for sign standards is becoming more and more important. We can help you with your handicap sign, wayfinding sign, and parking sign requirements.

Building Signs

Company identification signs, directional signs, and address numbers are among the many illuminated and non-illuminated signs we fabricate, design, install, and permit. We provide Cleveland construction signs for any project.

Magnets on the sides of cars and trucks detach from and attach to vehicles conveniently and quickly. Best of all, they can very easily lead to increased business and sales conversions for your company. In addition, there are many other benefits you may not have considered.

Using Them to Advertise

Not all forms of advertising reach all people. This makes it especially important for your company to utilize as many different advertising outlets as possible. By using multiple approaches, you are increasing the likelihood of people taking notice and recognizing your brand. Plus, magnetic signs will reinforce the brand recognition you create with email marketing, print media, billboards, and direct mail.

As opposed to other forms of advertising, when you buy vehicle magnets in Northeast Ohio, you get constant visibility after a reasonable, one time investment. Your business’s logo, contact information, and name are clearly visible when you or your employees are parking the company’s trailer at a job site or driving the company vehicle around town.

Your company’s philosophy and work ethic will be on display for potential clients and customers when you use an appropriately designed vehicle magnet. The magnet along the side of your work van will identify your company as civic minded with an eye out for supporting the community when your drivers wait patiently at crosswalks, pull over and help stranded motorists, and generally employ courteous and safe driving techniques.

Advertising your business by driving your car or truck through areas in town where you want to attract business is one of the best uses for vehicle magnets. Using a magnetic sign is much less expensive than other forms of advertising and is better at specifically targeting the demographic you want to reach.

Make the Most Out of Your Car Magnets

To get the most out of your vehicle magnet signs, as mentioned above, you must drive safely and obey the rules of the road. If you drive aggressively and honk your horn a lot, you will be advertising which company NOT to buy from. On the other hand, your company’s name and logo will have a positive association if you drive courteously.

Though magnetic vehicle signs are durable and can withstand all weather conditions, it is important that you do not let them stay dirty or get too worn. By keeping the sign clean looking, it shows that your company takes pride in its appearance and pays meticulous attention to detail. Along the same lines, your business vehicles should also be kept clean. You do not want your enterprise to be associated with dirtiness.

Your first instinct may be to put as much information as possible on your vehicle magnet, but that is not always the best idea. We recommend keeping it to your name, phone number or website, logo, and possibly a slogan. Anything more than that will be too much for people to read while driving. For when you are parked or stuck in traffic, you may also want to have an additional sign that goes into more detail about what goods or services you provide.

Making the decision to be an exhibitor at a trade show, conference or expo isn’t always easy. It isn’t always cheap either. To maximize your ROI, it’s important to be clear on what you’re looking to achieve.  

For example, is your primary goal to launch a new product in your line? Or, is your main focus centered around promotion? How many attendees or leads would you need to draw to satisfy your marketing objectives? What is the number of units needed to be sold in order to cover the cost of attendance and turn a profit?

List your top three must-achieve items that would make the trip worthwhile. Now you're almost ready to board your plane and make the most of that expo. But first the experts at Epic Signs & Graphics have some tips on how to attract trade show visitors with the best trade show displays.

Grabbing Attention at Expos

Research is a must- To properly market, you need to ensure you have the appropriate audience. For example, don’t attend a film conference if your company specializes in eco-friendly products. It’s also important to choose the conference with the most attendees and the least amount of competition.

Advertise ahead of time- It’s a wise idea to put the word out via your social media channels that you’ll be in attendance. If you can, include your booth number and location. Don’t wait until the day of only to realize attendance numbers are low or attendees are having a hard time finding your location.

Plan for your audience- Perhaps your company’s aim is to target multiple audiences. If so, best to ensure you have all the necessary information in-tow.

Bring extra promotional literature- Don’t make the mistake of underestimating the volume of people you’ll encounter. Even if you don’t’ hand out every single flyer in stock, it won’t have been a waste. Simply save the extras for the next expo.

Institute a prize giveaway or contest- By incorporating a prize drawing or contest, you’re sure to draw attention to your booth and gain a significant number of visitors. Once word spreads that participants could win big, you’ll be swimming in potential new business.

Send your most knowledgeable personnel- It’s not enough to merely be friendly. You need an employee who is also knowledgeable about your product line or services.

Engage your audience- A bright smile and friendly greeting can really go a long way. Welcome any questions they have and keep a good read on your body language. For instance, adopting an open stance and chatting with visitors to find out which aspects of your business are most applicable is a fantastic way to foster a new relationship and hopefully close a sale. It’s also smart to get out from behind your booth and be physically engaging as well.

Have a stock of promotional products on hand- Small takeaways that attendees can use post-conference are a fantastic way to continually remind folks of your services. Place them in a prominent location at the front of your booth to catch the eye of passersby.

Ensure a prompt follow up- Don’t let a hot lead go cold. Making sure you follow up with any and all contacts made is an absolute must.
