The largest <\/span>year-over-year increase<\/span><\/a> in startup growth over the past two decades, as well as the reversal of a five-year downward trend in the United States, occurred in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s never been a better time to pursue business ownership, with the startup economy showing no signs of slowing down.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the biggest challenges facing new business owners inevitably stem from the need to establish brand awareness and legitimacy \u2013 all while on a relatively strict marketing budget. The right graphics and signage can jumpstart your individual business and propel your brand toward success.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how cost-effective signage solutions can be the answer to these obstacles, instantly upgrading your brand and promoting your product to the masses:<\/span><\/p>\n

Outdoor Signage that Creates Windows of Opportunity<\/b><\/p>\n

Poor quality and inadequate signage were behind nearly <\/span>60 percent of consumers\u2019<\/span><\/a> decisions not to enter a business, according to a FedEx study.<\/span><\/p>\n

Especially as a new business, you shouldn\u2019t miss out on more than half of your potential sales \u2013 and the opportunity to foster awareness for your brand \u2013 simply because of lackluster signage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Outdoor signage and window decals showcase your brand to passersby while making your business more approachable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s a sidewalk sign, branded flag or vinyl banner, <\/span>stunning outdoor signage<\/span><\/a> catches peoples\u2019 attention and makes them more comfortable with your brand. Wherever you\u2019d like to be seen outside, the right outdoor signage solution will perfectly fit you, your message and space \u2013 to consistently drive new traffic through your doors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Window graphics<\/span><\/a> also help you maximize valuable storefront real estate and bring in new potential customers or business partners. Key branding messages printed on professional decals and clings will turn heads for all the right reasons and regularly spark interest around your new company.<\/span><\/p>\n

Corporate Branding that Leaves an Impression<\/b><\/p>\n

For startups, corporate branding and other marketing tactics are often the first place owners look to cut corners. On the contrary, eye-catching signage and corporate branding could not be more crucial to a new brand\u2019s success.<\/span><\/p>\n

Corporate branding is the act of promoting company culture rather than specific products or services. It tells people who you are and what you\u2019re about \u2014 not what you sell.<\/span><\/p>\n

A corporate branding strategy takes messages and images inspired by your company\u2019s culture, promoting them consistently over the long term. Branded graphics, symbols and messages will inevitably become associated with the company itself.<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, corporate branding helps you cultivate a distinct, prominent brand identity and personality \u2013 often a difficult feat for emerging brands to achieve. With a solid strategy, strong company culture and personality are natural side effects that follow consistent corporate branding.<\/span><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to go overboard and slap your logo or brand values on anything and everything in your office space. By infusing your office with <\/span>strategically-printed and placed corporate images<\/span><\/a>, you can tastefully convey what you want and how you want it.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, if you partner with the right graphics provider, your attention-grabbing displays will pay dividends for your brand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cost-Effective Marketing Strategies from the Right Print Solutions Provider<\/b><\/p>\n

Leading-edge graphics solutions \u2013 <\/span>from wall murals<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>environmental graphics<\/span><\/a> to <\/span>contour-cut<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>digital signage<\/span><\/a> \u2013 have been taking the wide-format printing industry by storm.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, while these innovative options are the go-to choice for some companies, your startup business can get the same benefits from more traditional graphics selections as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to signage, sometimes less is more \u2013 especially when you\u2019re operating on a tight budget.<\/span><\/p>\n

At SpeedPro Chicago Loop, we understand that there\u2019s no value in a one-size-fits-all approach to promoting a brand. Instead, we work with you to understand your company\u2019s marketing needs and budget and create a personalized signage and graphics plan accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n
