Put some Fizz in your Fountain Sales

David — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 18:48:33 +0000

About a week ago, we sent out some cement decal samples that were designed to promote the fountain area. From time to time, we do this sort of things to show our customers new, innovative products that we’ve come up with. This particular product generated quite a few phone calls and E-mails from customers looking to give their fountain sales a lift. Judging from the feedback, I thought you all might appreciate some additional sign ideas for promoting fountain drinks.

In this heat, an ice cold fountain beverage is a wonderful thing. Our cement decals are a great way to advertise your promotion to customers who might otherwise stop at the pump, swipe their card and head on their way. Pumptoppers and hose talkers are also good places to put this message. Repeating the details of the deal on both media helps alert the customer that this is a promotion worth paying attention to.

Once the customer enters the store, you can help direct them to the fountain with floor decals or a large mobile above the fountain. At the dispenser, you can drive your point home by utilizing price ovals or fountain rings to further convey the pricing. While cement decals will be sure to get some attention, coupling them with a few other POP elements will make your promotion an even greater success!

Spring is in The Air

David — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 19:16:25 +0000

It’s official. Every evening kids are streaming down my sidewalk on bikes, I hear the ice cream truck go by about five times a day and not a second of daylight goes by where I can’t hear the hum of a lawnmower in the neighborhood. Spring is definitely here, and it has me thinking about frozen delights.

Many of our customers may not be aware that we have some experience in the ice cream area. I’m not going to name names or anything, but we do work with some folks in the business. If you are looking for freezer wraps or decals, we know how to get the job done. We also have some experience working with fountain areas and slushy machines. I’m just going to put it out there that you might want to make sure your signs in these areas are ready for the season. If they need a little work, we are there for you.

This year we are also offering a new product that, like the tune of an ice cream truck, will be sure to get your customers attention. Our StreetRap cement decals turn surfaces like sidewalks and pavement into non-traditional advertising spaces. You can make an impact by placing a large image outside the front door, or even in the parking lot. This product is also great for conveying product information in front of propane and ice displays. If you are interested in learning more about this unique product, our customer service representatives would be glad to fill you in on the details- as long as we’re not in the parking lot succumbing to the influence of that seductive tune.
