  • Why Do People Turn to Catdi for Quality Business Cards?

    Why Do People Turn to Catdi for Quality Business Cards?

    For over 10 years, Catdi has been providing business owners with the 24/7 support they need to get business cards. Today, we’re the top graphic design provider on the web.

    We provide a variety of services. One of the most important things we do is give business owners great cards.

    But why do so many business owners depend on Catdi for quality business cards?

    The answer is simple: a great business card is incredibly important. And on top of that, there are some brands that do it better than others. We believe that we can give you a perfect card because we have the production values of a large company with the personal touch of a small one.

    Don’t believe us? Here’s our look at why you need business cards, and why you need them from us specifically.

    The Importance of Quality Business Cards

    There’s a reason everyone from ministers to musicians uses business cards.

    That’s because a business card is the best way for your brand to make an impression. When somebody takes your card, they are literally carrying a piece of your brand in their pocket.

    As they go throughout their day, they’ll be reminded of you and your company. They may even go home and give your business card to somebody else.

    In terms of physical, pen-and-paper advertisement, that makes business cards the most useful tool out there. Flyers get thrown in the trash, and newspaper advertisements are no longer a practical option for getting your message across.

    But on top of being an effective marketing tool, they also communicate a prepared image for your brand. Having quality business cards lets potential customers know that you are serious and prepared.

    No matter what service you provide, that goes a long way. Nobody wants an attorney or mechanic who’s working for the weekend: showing potential customers that you’re serious is probably the best thing you can do.

    Why Your Cards Need To Be Personalized

    It’s obvious that you need a business card. But just going with the first card you find, or trying to make one yourself, is a bad idea. A boring business card is a way to make your brand fade into the background.

    This is one of the reasons quality business cards require the touch of a designer. Making something stand out is harder than it seems: anybody can make something that makes people look twice.

    If you want a powerful branding solution, you need a designer who knows what works and what doesn’t.

    An understanding of dynamic shapes and color psychology is one of the most important things a business card designer can have. It’s also something you get when you work with Catdi.

    A Business That Works With Brands

    Quality business cards are interesting and communicate your contact information, but they also do something more. The best cards will allow you to show potential customers your brand identity.

    This seems relatively simple, but it’s actually one of the hardest tasks in marketing. The brand is a multifaceted element of your company’s identity. It isn’t just about what you do: it’s about who you are. And it’s about who your customers are.

    If you want to be successful at this task, you’ll need the help of a company that knows what it’s like to work with brands. That’s where we come in.

    One look at our portfolio of quality business cards reveals that we work with a company to pinpoint exactly what their brand is. When you work with us, you get the personal touch that so many business cards are missing. And having that extra effort put into the establishment of your brand will go a long way towards elevating you above the competition.

    Expertise In Other Areas

    Usually, we are told to look for people who are specialized. But companies that only work with business cards rarely make quality business cards.

    The reason for this may seem complicated at first but it’s actually relatively simple. Designing a business card is an endeavor that shows just how complicated it is to create.

    We don’t just design business cards, we’re one of the most effective providers of everything from direct mail to web design today. We also offer printing services. This means that you can get a variety of tasks done when you work with us.

    But the benefits go beyond that and venture into the realm of the specific. In this case, it’s clear that working with Catdi for quality business cards means you’re giving your cards the attention to detail you can only ever get from a designer.

    A Competitive Price

    Finally, you want to get all of these services at a fair price. And while quality business cards rarely come cheap, they can come at a price range that fits the budget of a small business.

    Because we specialize in working with the folks on Main Street, we guarantee that you can get a high-quality card from us at a fair price. If you want more information, get a quote today!

    If you’re interested in finally working with some intelligent people to get quality business cards, then you need to get in touch with us. We guarantee that your business will benefit from this time-tested method of offline marketing.

    The first step is getting a quote. Make sure you get the service you need at a price that works for you. After you do that, you need to get in touch with us to learn more.

  • Small Ways for Small Businesses to Promote Themselves For Little Money

    Small Ways for Small Businesses to Promote Themselves For Little Money

    It can be challenging to promote yourself as a small business, especially if your business is in a field or area that is saturated. Marketing and advertising can be very costly, and it can seem daunting to commit to a campaign that isn’t guaranteed to provide results. However, this doesn’t have to stop you from creating a profile and name for your business, as there are many different ways you can market or promote a product or a company. 

    Methods of marketing and promotion can vary across platforms. Digital marketing is a growing and effective style of advertising that can help you to reach a broad audience with relative ease and convenience. You can also easily use methods like putting up flyers and banners in your local community to help attract more business in the area that your business is based in. This article goes into some more depth in the different ways you can market or promote your business without breaking the bank. 

    Digital Marketing

    Digital marketing is becoming increasingly popular all the time as a means of promoting businesses and for an excellent reason. Social media, in particular, has become a ubiquitous and vital means of communication for many of us, and this makes social media marketing an especially effective way to attract new customers to your business. Research seems to suggest that it is the most efficient form of digital marketing when compared to other methods.

    One advantage of social media marketing is that it can be very affordable and has the potential to reach a vast audience. This is especially true when it is done in conjunction with SEO marketing principles in mind. Another very effective way to utilize digital marketing is through video and email campaigns. These can allow you to reach a considerable number of people quite directly and with relatively little effort compared to other direct forms of marketing or promotion. However, this can annoy some customers as they may perceive it as spam. This is why it’s essential to know your audience and possibly refrain from utilizing email marketing too extensively, as it may put people off your business. 

    Another form of marketing that you can carry out online is the creation of unique content, which is available to your potential customers. The relevance of this depends on the kind of products you sell or create, but often content creation is a great way both to attract new customers or attention to your business, as well as building the name of your brand and its stature. For example, if you are a fencing company, you could create videos or eBooks that explain something about fencing or things that are relevant to your potential customers. This can help you to seem like a reliable and knowledgeable business and can lead to new customers finding your business through viewing the content you have created. 

    Physical Marketing Services

    While digital marketing can be very convenient and practical, that is no reason not to have a presence in the community and area where your business is located, too. Creating an awareness of your business in your local community is vital to ensuring that you have a loyal and dependable customer base that provides you with consistent business throughout the year. There are many ways of increasing your profile and using a variety of methods is going to ensure the best results. 

    One great way to build up or maintain your profile in your local community is through public speaking and attending events. This could be at networking events that are relevant to your industry, or events that are intended to support or help improve your local community in some way. Lending your expertise or support in settings like these can help you come across as a dependable figure that is an important part of your community, and this is a great way to attract customers who have similar values or ethics to you.

    Another good way to attract customers is by highlighting the ethics of your brand or business in a way that new customers can easily see. This is something that is becoming increasingly important in business in general, especially among young people. Research conducted in the United Kingdom found that 39% of adults asked had recently made a purchasing decision based on the perceived ethics of the retailer or business.

    One of the most striking and effective ways of increasing the presence of your brand or business is through the use of banners or decals. This gives your business a very physical presence in the area or areas that you use this type of marketing, and also contributes substantially to knowledge of your business spreading via word of mouth. There are lots of different ways you can come up with a visual marketing idea for your business, and something like choosing the right colors or dimensions for a banner or decal can make a huge difference in its effectiveness.

    At Catdi Printing we specialize in creating custom banner printers or create full color window decals, indoor banners, and other forms of visual marketing materials for you. Catdi Printing creates large-scale banners of high-quality vinyl, which are long-lasting and eye-catching. Vinyl banners can be an affordable and highly effective way of increasing the knowledge and presence of your business in your local community. This works especially well if you include some basic information about the services you provide and some contact details for your business on the banner or banners. The material used by Catdi Printing is waterproof and weather-resistant, ensuring that their banners last long enough to use them throughout the year and different types of weather and climates.

    Marketing your small business can seem challenging and daunting, but there are many ways to do so without much cost or effort on your part. These can still be highly effective and help you to attract new customers, without needing to spend an exorbitant amount of money on marketing or creating a whole advertising campaign.

  • Coronavirus Affecting Your Business? Here’s What You Should be Doing Instead of Panicking

    Coronavirus Affecting Your Business? Here’s What You Should be Doing Instead of Panicking

    The entire world is talking about the coronavirus/COVID-19. Some people are scared, turning to supermarkets to stock up on toilet paper and disinfectants. Others are trying to remain as calm as they can when the entire world is panicking around them. But for small business owners, the pandemic comes with additional problems and many of them are wondering: will my business get through this or will I have to close up shop?

    We here at Catdi Printing hope that the following tips will help you make sense of this situation and devise some next steps for your business to take during the quarantine.

    Keep Calm and Devise a Plan

    First, take a deep breath. Even if the quarantine itself isn’t stressing you out, you’re still likely asking yourself:

    • Can I keep my business afloat?
    • Do I have to close the shop for a while?
    • Can I afford to pay the wages of my employees?

    And these questions are stressful. The coronavirus quarantine has to be taken seriously if we want to put a stop to the epidemic. While the world works through it to get over this bump on the road, you can take care of a few things in your business’ marketing efforts.

    As you may know, conferences and outdoor marketing are both out of the question due to concerns about spreading the virus. But, it doesn’t mean all your marketing needs to come to a halt. Here are some areas you can address now that you have the time:

    1. Focus on Content Marketing

    Content marketing is a powerful tool not many businesses leverage. Studies show that those who focus on blogging are as much as 13 times more likely to see a positive ROI than those who don’t.Content marketing takes time and effort. If your department was previously focused on other methods, specifically outdoor methods, maybe you never had the chance to dive into content marketing. Now you can, and it’s not only something to keep you busy in the present. A well-crafted blog will be beneficial in the long term as well.

    1. Strengthen Your Email Marketing Game

    You are not the only one who’s probably taking cover in the comfort of your home – so is your consumer. If you’ve never had an email marketing campaign, this is the perfect opportunity to start.

    Email marketing is the digital version of a tried and tested method of promoting a brand – getting something in the mail. Except now, it’s much easier, and cheaper to send the coupon to thousands of customers at the same time. And thanks to great software like MailChimp, emails can be so personalized that the individual customer reads something that seems written only for them.

    Did you know it may also be the preferred means of communication for your customers? Some statistics show that around 91% of shoppers want to hear from their preferred businesses via email. And if you think about what an email is, it makes sense:

    • The format allows you to give more information;
    • Links can be added to allow a user to easily inform themselves;
    • Is less invasive, since the user can choose if they want to click to open an email or not.

    1.  Update Your Current Web Design & Leverage Social Media

    Rather than doing away with your current website,  an cost effective alternative to is freshen your current website. Simple things like adding a blog or redoing the homepage can help your SEO and strengthen your position in the SERPS. Doing these couple of things can be really cost effective.  In addition If your business does not have any social media accounts, you should consider opening some. Social networks are a great way to keep in touch with consumers in a way that seems less informal than through emails or your official website.

    Social media allows customers to interact with you directly by commenting on your post or sending you a private message. And again, your customers want you to interact with them. Around 86% of consumers want a brand to have an honest social media approach.

    So, you may also be thinking “what can I possibly post on social media at this time?” Well, here are a few suggestions:

    • Business updates – for instance, if you have a restaurant, let your clientele know what your plans are for the near future. Are you closing? Are you only taking delivery orders? Why?
    • Safety recommendation – you can share with your consumers, small tips on how they can stay safe at this time, such as washing their hands for at least 20 seconds or practicing social distancing;
    • Behind the scenes – consumers love to see what goes on behind the scenes of your business, so if you have a particularly interesting manufacturing process, now’s the time to share some photos or videos!

    Non-Business Plan Ideas & Recommendations

    We also have to talk about the personal implications of this quarantine because it’s not always about the business:

    1. Let Your Employees Work from Home If Possible

    It’s really important for as many people to align themselves with national efforts to stop the spread of the virus. For business owners, that means allowing your employers to work from home where possible.

    For example, most of the tasks your marketing department has are likely taking place online anyway. There’s no point in forcing them to come into the office while everyone else is worried about the virus. The same goes for the HR department and other employees that don’t have to physically handle things in your business.

    It’s also a way to show your employees you care about them and value their safety more than your bottom line. Plus, you really don’t want to be the business that made its employees come to work at a time like this. This kind of news spreads fast.

    1. Spend More Time with Your Family

    It’s times like these where we realize just how important it is to spend time with family and close ones. Though you may be worried about your business and want to focus on reassuring your employees, you need to do the same with your loved ones.

    And yes, you can’t necessarily go out and travel for a while, though there are plenty of activities at home to take part in and bond:

    • Watch a movie;
    • Cook together;
    • Make a DIY project;
    • Play a tabletop game, etc.

     

    1. Meet Those Around You, Establish Relationships and Lend a Hand

    It’s a busy world we live in. So busy, that most people don’t even know their neighbors, even though you may have been living next to them for years.

    And some of your neighbors may even be more scared about this pandemic than you are, and for good reasons. It’s widely known that older people and those with a compromised immune system are more at risk to suffer the worst of the coronavirus symptoms. The vast majority of those who’ve succumbed to the disease come from these categories.

    So if you are not that worried or are not highly at risk, you can take this time to help others. Maybe you have a single, old woman living next to you. Why not knock on her door and offer to help her? You can go grocery shopping for her, and buy the things she needs, but can’t get herself because she is worried about the virus. It’s a really small gesture when you think about it, but one that is really vital for some people.

    1. Keep Yourself and Your Family Safe

    There is a lot of evidence that shows the coronavirus is not as deadly as other diseases out there but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be careful.

    Because it’s often not about you but those around you. If one person is careless, they can infect hundreds of others, some of which may be more at-risk. So it’s important to take care of your own health at this time and protect your family, friends, and other people you come into contact with.

    The CDC has a few recommendations on how to make this happen:

    • Stay indoors as much as possible – the virus is transmitted from person to person, so the only way to really protect yourself is to avoid close contact with other people. So stay in your home, and only go out if you really need to, such as if you need to go to the pharmacy or grocery shopping;
    • Wash your hands often – you can touch an area that’s been compromised, and then take the virus from your hands to your body by touching your face. Washing your hands regularly with soap and water is the next essential step to staying safe. If they aren’t available, you can use hand sanitizer instead;
    • Practice social distancing – if you’re a lovey-dovey person, you should refrain from hugging, kissing, shaking hands, or even fist-bumping people for a while. Keep your distance from people, just to stay safe.

    Over to You

    With around 170,029 confirmed cases of coronavirus worldwide, it’s easy to panic and want to lock yourself inside your doors. But, it’s important to remain calm at this time and remember a lot of things can’t be put on hold.

    Like your business. There are a lot of things you can still do to ensure you are still communicating with your customers.  At Catdi Printing your safety is our # 1 priority. Period.As in business and life sometime you just have to change the medium a little bit, for a while. Please call us if you have any concerns at 713 882 4629

    Downsides to Using Online-Only Printers

    However, online printing has some drawbacks, too. One issue is quality control. Without seeing the process, you might not get what you expected. This could be a color, quality, or finish problem, affecting your overall score.

    Getting help might also be strict with online printers.

    With custom printing, you pick the materials and finishes you like. You can choose unique papers, embossing, or even foil stamps. These services make your ideas come to life uniquely.

Don’t forget about niche providers for special printing needs. There’s a lot to choose from besides AlphaGraphics.

    Take your time to look at the choices. Pick a provider that fits your needs well, offering a reliable mobile app for easy access. This way, your printing work will be top-notch and on time, and it will make you happy, especially with our expedited shipping options worldwide

  • 5 Ways to Make Your Visual Marketing Designs Shout Out to Your Audience

    5 Ways to Make Your Visual Marketing Designs Shout Out to Your Audience

     

    Image: istock.com/IIIerlok_Xolms

    Relying solely on written content to market your brand isn’t enough to compete effectively in today’s cutthroat business environment. Many companies understand this and have decided to include captivating images and videos into the mix. All efforts are aimed at ensuring their respective companies stand out from their competitors to attract customers.

    So, visual marketing designs are increasing in popularity. Infographics, data visualization and quote cards are a few examples that fall under this domain. But with many customers going this visual marketing route, how then do you ensure your designs are better than the next?

    We list five simple ways you can incorporate to make your visual marketing designs stand out and draw your audience’s attention.

    Create Recognizable Visual Designs

    You want your customers to immediately recognize your brand. This is only possible if you ensure that your visual marketing designs are simple and easy to understand. Pay extra attention to the following:

    • Logo design: You want to create, say a beauty logo design it should be catchy and memorable. One that customers can easily recognize and remember when they see it on visuals.
    • Company colors: The colors you use with your visual marketing designs are also important. Make sure you pick colors that are in line with the business personality you want to portray. In addition, the colors you use must also resonate with your target audience. If your niche consists of children, then including fun and playful colors will work.
    • Font: Make sure you use the right font types and sizes that match your brand identity and personality.

    Customize Your Designs According to Your Platform

    Any serious business owner will fully take advantage of different online platforms for a wider target audience reach. But regardless of the channel you pick, it’s important to customize the designs depending on the platform you’ll use:

    • Can the same image be viewed from both a mobile or desktop platform without compromising quality?
    • Are your videos easily accessible regardless of the platform the customer uses?
    • For email you can include more text while on social media you need shorter text or an image to instantly grab attention.

    Align Your Visual Designs with Your Company’s Content Strategy

    Synergy is crucial in any organization. Catchy videos and images are splendid but only if they align with your company’s content strategy. The message you’re communicating with your written content must match your visual designs. And this can only be made possible by investing in a smart visual content strategy.

    Before creating your visual marketing designs it’s important to know your target audience. What kind of content appeals to them? Answering this question will help you devise visual designs that resonate with your niche.

    Part of aligning your visual designs with your organizational content is by practising consistency. Pick your business tone of voice—and stick to it. If you want your business to come across as authoritative and extremely professional, desist from producing playful and carefree content. That only confuses the customer.

    Authenticity and Relevance is Key

    It’s easy for businesses to get carried away with prevailing marketing visual design and graphic design trends. Just remember that what works for the next company might not be for you. This is why it’s important to clearly outline your purpose, vision and mission as an organization. After that you outline the values your company holds dear.

    Establishing these aspects will make it easy for you to produce visual designs that are true your organization. Remember; customers value authenticity.

    But as original as your visual designs might be, make sure they are relevant. Do your visuals connect with your target audience?

    This also means steering clear from stock images. Granted, they are easy to access and save you a lot of time, but they do nothing for your authenticity as a business. Use your imagination. Look for more creative ways to create enticing content and images.

    Make Sure Your Visual Designs Add Value

    The difference between your visual designs and that of your competitors is the value they add to the consumers. What’s so special about your images or videos? Do they help your customers in any way? Rather than bombarding your customers with meaningless videos, add something they’ll find useful and informative.

    Add “how to” videos that teach your target audience about something valuable. You’re guaranteed a constant increase of traffic to your website if customers think they’ll benefit from visiting it. That’s one sure way of building customer loyalty, increasing repeat purchases and boosting your revenue.

    Alternatively, you can include a few visual tips that visitors pressed for time will find easy and quick to peruse.

    Final Words

    Anyone can create a video or take a picture. But if either doesn’t resonate with your customers, then it defeats the purpose. You want visual marketing designs that are captivating enough to capture your audience’s attention, even on their busiest days.

    If you don’t get it right, your competitors certainly will. But now you know how to do it like the pros.

  • Why You Should Have Promotional Merchandise For Your Business

    Why You Should Have Promotional Merchandise For Your Business

    Promotional merchandise has long been overlooked as the tremendous marketing opportunity that it is. Studies have shown us that adding promotional products to a brand’s marketing mix can increase the effectiveness of marketing through other means by as much as 44%, and branded products have the potential to draw as many as 500% more referrals than basic marketing tactics alone. But that’s not all- there are numerous other reasons why you should have promotional merchandise for your business.

    A little research quickly makes it clear that branded, promotional merch is an excellent way to get consumers excited about your company. Whether you’re selling cotton candy machines and confetti or you’re a law firm looking for new clientele, it’s possible to leverage branded swag as a powerful tool to increase customer loyalty and attention and expand your reach.

    Below, we’ve rounded up a list of the most compelling reasons to start leveraging branded merchandise as a tool for marketing and brand exposure. Not only are there a variety of options to suit virtually any budget (some companies do pens, some create high-end clothing, and some fall in-between), but it’s a great way to set your brand apart from the crowd and push for brand recognition.

    The Benefits of Creating Promotional Merchandise For Your Business

     

    Improved brand recognition

    Brand recognition is an essential part of turning your audience into paying customers. Consumers who hear about your business or read your content won’t be earning you a profit if they can’t manage to remember who you are or how to find you.

    Fortunately, branded merchandise helps improve brand recognition significantly. It plays into a business’ efforts to build a strong reputation. Nearly 90% of people are able to recall the names of companies who gave them promotional merchandise within the twenty-four months prior; and 85% of consumers who receive promotional products from a company go on to conduct business with that company.

    Retention, retention, retention

    Running a successful business is as much about customer retention as it is about customer acquisition. If you’re failing to hold onto prior customers or clients, you’re failing to leverage a market that’s already been primed to purchase from you.

    Part of the battle of retention is keeping consumers interested in and engaged with your business. It’s easy to forget about a brand once you’re done doing business with them; why should consumers care about your products or services once they’ve gotten what they need from you at any given time? We can’t answer that question for you, but we can answer the question of how to boost retention: branded merchandise.

    Because branded merch helps with recall, it also makes retaining your existing consumer base that much easier. Customers are far more likely to return to you for services or products if they’re constantly being reminded that your brand exists. Exposure equals recall equals retention.

    It’s cost-effective

    Most consumers only hold onto promotional products for about six or seven months; while this may not be the best news for those hoping their branded products become a mainstay in customers’ households, there’s a silver lining to be found: 63% of those consumers pass on promotional items once they’re done with them.

    So what does that mean for your business?

    It means free advertising, more exposure, and the opportunity to have your brand introduced to an entirely new audience. If over half of your customers who receive branded merchandise pass that merch on to other people in their lives, that’s a sizable number of new audience members you’ll have gained. It’s like word of mouth minus the mouth– consumers trust people they’re close to, so let your customers do the work of spreading the word.

    A way to stand out from the competition

    Many businesses overlook the immense marketing opportunities that promotional merch and swag present. Some are hesitant to drop the cash on branded items for (seemingly) no payoff; others may feel that the tactic is stale or outdated. However, keep in mind that you can leverage promotional merchandise for your business as a means to advertise.

    That’s great news for you.

    Not only will your brand be gaining traction from the powerful marketing tool that promotional merch is all on its own,  but you’ll clearly stand out from your competitors. Your brand will look more engaging, more interesting, and more dedicated to its customers when it’s stacked up next to companies who are stingy with their cash. Promotional swag helps keep your brand looking fresh to outsiders.

    Finding a Service That Meets Your Needs

    One reason you may hesitate to take the plunge into creating promotional merchandise for your business is simply fear. It can be tough to find a trustworthy supplier who you know will be able to meet your timeline and quality needs without nickel and diming you. We’ve outlined a handful of things to keep in mind while you hunt for the perfect merch service:

    • Do look for low order minimums
      • It’s easy to be tempted to overdo orders, especially if there’s pressure from your merch partner
      • If things go wrong, you’re on the hook for less
    • Do prioritize excellent communication
      • By nature, custom work involves muddy timelines
      • Opt for businesses who are transparent and openly communicative to make the process easier
    • Don’t shoot for a fast turnaround if it means a sacrifice in quality
      • Consumers feel shorted when they’re handed products that are obviously cheap or low quality
      • If you have to choose between quick turnaround or high quality, opt for the latter
    • Don’t make your decision based on lip service
      • Any company looking to turn a profit will tell you what you want to hear to make a sale
      • Rather than relying solely on the company, look for trusted feedback and seek out reviews

    Looking to snag some promotional swag for your brand’s next event? Want to give your customers something to remember you by in their next order? Get in touch with Catdi today! Our team is committed to helping build one of the strongest marketing networks in the digital sphere today.

  • 5 Tips to Make Your Gator Board Signs Stand Out

    5 Tips to Make Your Gator Board Signs Stand Out

    Signage is part of everyday life. When you drive down the street, you see many road signs indicating the speed to use or giving directions. The fact is you can’t escape it. In the workplace, there are many health and safety signs to guide employees and visitors. When shopping for groceries, the store is littered with signage detailing opening and closing hours, discounts and great deals. In the mall, you are confronted with signage giving directions on which store to find where. The list of signs in everyday life is endless.

    Signage serves many purposes, including marketing a business or product, enticing customers to visit a store, offering directions, promoting health and safety, and enhancing the appearance of a space. Nowadays, many types and forms of signage have come up to meet businesses’ and consumers’ signage needs. Among the prominent ones are gator board signs that offer businesses the ideal way to market themselves and accomplish other purposes.

     

     

    What are gator board signs?

    Gator boards are display boards made from rigid foam core that combines lightweight with durability to meet your signage needs. Gator board signs come in different sizes and shapes to give you what you are looking for. You can use gator board signs for your display purposes ranging from product displays to professional logos. Also, gator board signs are ideal for wall displays because they can be mounted, directional signage, and used for decorative purposes.

    Although gator board signs have a similar appearance with other propped signage, they have various traits that make them unique and different from other signage. Here are some of them.

    • They have greater sturdiness.
    • The quality of gator board signs is unsurpassed and noticeable when handling and hanging.
    • Durable to last up to 2 years when handled and stored well.
    • Resistant to bending, breaking, and scratching.
    • They are versatile and can be used for formal and casual spaces.
    • Whether you have a frame or not, gator board signs still look fantastic.
    • Affordable compared to high-resolution signage.

    Design tips to make your gator board signs stand out:

    When designing a gator board sign for your business, it is essential to choose your design elements carefully so that it stands out and accomplishes its purpose. Whether a sign is exhibiting your products or services, promoting an offer or discount, or showcasing your business name, the aesthetics and content of the sign are important.

    When your sign is aesthetically attractive and conveys the right message, you are assured of its effectiveness. Also, in an era where there are signs everywhere, your sign needs to stand out from the rest. Below are five ways to make your gator board signs stand out in the crowd.

    1. Color is king

    The color you choose for a gator board sign is crucial. Hence, you should select a color that draws people’s attention to the design. If the sign is exhibiting an offer, the color should attract the attention of customers to it. In many cases, consumers associate your brand with the colors you often use in your signs. Here are some common colors and how to use them.

    • Red: what do you feel after seeing the color red? It definitely escalates your breath and blood pressure. You can use the color red for your gator board sign to convey aspects such as speed if, for example, you sell cars. Who doesn’t like speedy cars?
    • Purple: this is the color of royalty. You can use the royal color on your signage if you sell luxurious products such as suits and real estate.
    • Blue: this color brings a feeling of tranquility and relaxation. If your business deals with products or services related to relaxation and wellness, this is the color to use for your gator board signage. For example, if you run a spa or sell mattress, purple is an excellent color for your signage.

    2. Deliver a compelling message

    The content that your gator board sign displays is very important. Ask yourself what the main message you want to convey is and then make it compelling. Maybe you want to highlight your business name, a special offer, or launch a new menu. Ensure that the content is catchy, relevant, and memorable.

    person's-hands-typing-content-for-gator-board-sign-on-laptop

    Avoid too much writing on a sign because it makes it cluttered and clumsy. A short message is better because no one wants to spend much time reading your sign. It should be clear and straightforward.

    3. Use images

    People are visual beings and respond better to images than text. You can use an image on your gator board sign to convey your message. The image should be clear and visible. Also, it should be connected to your business so that when a customer sees it, they see your business. A logo is a prime example of an image you can use on your sign. It has a connection with your business and promotes brand consciousness.

    4. Good print quality

    The last thing you want is for your images and text to appear blurry on your gator board sign. Invest in good print quality to ensure that images and text appear in the best way possible. Good print quality makes a sign aesthetic and eye-catching. Also, it complements the quality of gator board. If you want people to look at your sign twice when they walk by, you know the secret.

    5. Thoughtful gator board placement

    You may have the best sign in your entire neighborhood, but if you don’t choose the right placement, no one will see it. The placement of the gator board sign will influence its effectiveness. Ensure you choose an ideal place to position your sign so that more people see it.

     

    Also, consider elements such as size, shape, height, the direction of the sun, and the effect of weather on signage. If your sign is located in a crowded retail place, what will make it stand out?

    Whether you want signage for indoor or outdoor use and business or personal purposes, gator board signs come in handy. Gator board signs are renowned for their lightweight, cost-effectiveness, high-quality prints, and sleek, vibrant look. Poor signage can make your business virtually invisible and damage your credibility, while a well-designed sign can earn you a competitive advantage and make you stand out from the rest. The next time you are creating a gator board sign, use these five tips. The results will amaze you.  Contact us for marketing and branding ideas for your business.

  • 8 Elements You Should Include in Your Next Run of EDDM Postcards

    8 Elements You Should Include in Your Next Run of EDDM Postcards

    The success of a small business relies on its ability to market its offerings effectively. A small business may have the best products and services and offer exceptional customer service, but if customers do not know about its existence, it will not get any sales. Marketing helps to reach out to potential customers and entice them to try your products and services. However, unlike large brands that have huge marketing budgets, small businesses do not have many bucks to spend on marketing. They have small budgets that have to accommodate all their day-to-day activities, including marketing. Therefore, most small businesses depend on no cost and low-cost marketing methods. EDDM postcards are among the most successful inexpensive marketing methods for small and local businesses.

    What are EDDM Postcards?

    EDDM is an acronym for Every Door Direct Mail. It is a USPS service that lets you promote your business to households and businesses in your desired neighborhoods. Using the service, you can reach your prospects in a specific area easily and affordably. Your printed ads will be distributed to all households located in a given area. For example, if you are a local restaurant that wants to promote your delivery menus, you can use EDDM postcards to notify your target neighborhoods about them.

    Why Should Small Businesses Use EDDM Postcards?

    They’re cost effective

    EDDM postcards come with a reduced postal cost and hence accommodate small and local businesses with tiny marketing budgets. With EDDM postcards, you don’t require a mailing list, and therefore you don’t have to incur the cost of purchasing one. You simply specify your target neighborhood, and USPS does the rest.

    Also, you don’t require postage permits like before –which could be as costly as $450- and hence save money. EDDM postcards have low cost-per-lead, making them an inexpensive marketing method compared to other traditional marketing methods.

    It saves time

    Your business does not have to spend loads of time searching for mailing addresses. Instead, you just concentrate on print marketing and content while the postal services handle the rest. You can focus on the core activities of your business, such as sales and customer service.

    They’re effective

    According to the United States Postal Service, consumers receive 98% of delivered mail the same day, with 77% of them being sorted and 47% being opened. A direct mail study revealed that postcards are useful advertising methods. Since a postcard does not require opening, the recipient will receive the message.

    They offer greater flexibility

    EDDM postcards come in various sizes to accommodate any type of content. Whether you want to send a short sales announcement or a detailed product story, EDDM postcards let you do that.

    Easy coupons and specials distribution

    EDDM has a low cost of distribution and hence can be ideal for giving out coupons, discounts, and event sales.

    Produce eye-catching postcards

    Thanks to technology, you can print colorful and eye-catching EDDM postcards that are visually attractive. They help you stand out from your competitors and catch the prospects’ attention.

    Easy targeting

    Among the main benefits of EDDM postcards is that they allow local area marketing. EDDM postcards are geographically-focused and directed to prospects that are likely to make a purchase. For instance, if your business is a spa and you offer coupons on the postcard, the next time a customer wants to visit a spa, she may consider your business to redeem the code.

    Elements You Should Include in Your EDDM Postcards

    row-of-mailboxes-on-rural-road

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but an effective EDDM postcard design is equivalent to a thousand leads. Below are eight elements you should include in your next run of EDDM postcards to maximize your returns.

    1.   Headline

    Your EDDM postcard should contain a clear and bold headline that lets the recipient identify the main idea –what the postcard is all about. It is best practice to use a bigger font size for the headline to differentiate it from the rest of the text. At first glance, the readers should know what you are promoting. Is it a spa, restaurant, attorney service, or cleaning service?

    2.   Graphics

    You should choose a graphic that is easy to understand and resonates with your headline. A graphic reinforces the message as well as catches attention. For example, if you are a real estate business trying to get people to list their homes, you can reinforce your message with a picture of a home with a clear and visible SOLD sign.

    3.   Colors

    You can use color to make your message pop. Look for a color that is relevant to your message. Although most marketers employ the psychology of color to entice customers, you can use the color patterns that relate to your business.

    4.   The offer

    Give readers a reason to contact you NOW by providing an offer. You can give them limited-time offers, coupons, and great discounts. Additionally, apart from including the features of your products, also state the benefits. For example, apart from telling your prospects that you offer low-interest rates on mortgages, tell them the benefit of low- interest rates –lower monthly payments.

    5.   Call to action

    After providing all information on your EDDM postcard, follow it with a straightforward call-to-action. Let your recipients know what you want them to do after reading your postcard. Do you want them to call you for more information, check you out online, or visit your store to redeem a coupon?

    Make it clear!

    6.   Contact Information

    Do not forget to include your name, phone number, and web address in your EDDM postcard. It should be clear and legible.

    7.   Typography

    Nobody wants to read a poorly arranged and designed EDDM postcard. Ensure you design your postcard in a way that appeals to readers. Your choice of typeface can be influential to readers and convey emotions and thus should be done cautiously. For example, if you want to stimulate humor, you can use a doodle-like font. If you want to evoke a professional feel, why not try Times New Roman font.

    8.   Printing quality

    Finally, your EDDM postcard should utilize durable materials and top-notch printing. The vividness of your text and graphics will influence the reader’s perception of your postcard. Catdi can help you print high-quality and durable EDDM postcards that help your business get noticed.

  • Direct Mail Postcards… Designing Your Mini Billboard

    Direct Mail Postcards… Designing Your Mini Billboard

    Direct Mail Postcards… Your Mini Billboard
    One of the cheapest ways to do direct mail marketing is to use direct mail postcards by Catdi Printing.

    We love direct mail postcards (simply put) and here are easy ways to get them designed.

    Direct mail postcards are like mini billboards! They are great ways  to get receiver’s attention, so they will act on your marketing message. Be sure you always include as much contact information as you can, remembering that not everyone is online. Some do not have long distance phone service and others want to contact you through postal mail so having the right information is key.

    Designing the Postcards
    Add graphics or photos that are related to your promotion and use the same rules as you use for writing basic display ads. Direct mail postcards are one of the best bargains today in direct mail marketing and should never be overlooked! While we recommend that you have us or a professional graphic designer to design your piece there are free graphic design apps like Canva if you want to skimp of design.

    In addition another great way to avoid a design fee is if you belong to a MLM program many times they will offer you postcards already designed for a small fee. You may have to add your own code to be sure you get credit when someone responds to the offer. If you plan to design your post card for a MLM program you belong to, be sure to get approval before you have them printed as some companies have rules regarding such creations. However our printing rates are more than likely cheaper….

    When you design direct mail postcards yourself, be certain you use a size that fits into the guidelines of the postal service at www.usps.com. You don’t want to have them too large unless you are willing to pay the higher postal rate. Don’t worry we can help with this. You can also design postcards with such programs as, Adobe, Ms Publisher, MyMailList, Print Shop and others.

    Of course, your mailing list for your post cards is vital, and you can find out more about that by going to our mailing list website page.

    It is very easy to attach your mailing labels and postage stamps to your new post cards while you are watching TV, waiting for an appointment or simply relaxing.One of the things to remember is to be consistent when you design your postcards. If you can only afford to mail out 500 a week that is okay! Just be sure to do it every week to be consistent and generate regular sales which means income for you!
    Recommended Resources same price.

    Be Patient…
    Be sure to have some patience, as often people do not respond immediately to direct mail marketing, no matter what is being offered, or how. Also it may take the MLM you belong time to give your credit for your referrals. This gives you time to keep mailing and try different postcard designs to see which one works best for you!

    Catdi Printing Encourages Direct Mail Services with Regular Sales and Discounts

    Some businesses have forgone direct mail marketing efforts because they don’t believe it is an effective method of getting customers. However, with 98 percent of Americans checking their mail daily, the reach and potential impact of this marketing effort are significant. Additionally, 66 percent of consumers have purchased something because of a direct mail flyer or sales paper.

    In an effort to help businesses better realize the effectiveness of direct mail services, Houston Printing Services, Catdi Printing, offer regular sales and discounts for their services.“We understand how difficult it can be to find reliable Houston EDDM Printing Services,” stated company representative Carlos DeSantos. “Printing companies will come and go all the time, which is why we are here and intend to stay. The fact is, we rely on marketing efforts that many other companies have “written off” because we know they work. We want to help businesses utilize direct mail with amazing quality flyers that get the results they want and expect.”

    Pressman Working at Catdi Printing

    One of the main reasons that direct mail is still an effective marketing effort is because people feel as though it is a more personal method than online sales techniques.

  • Using Direct Mail Marketing to Millennials – Will It Work?

    Using Direct Mail Marketing to Millennials – Will It Work?

    When it comes to marketing, Millennials often seem like a mystery. Born between 1981 and 1996, they’ve grown up in a world transitioning from analog to digital, giving them a unique perspective on communication. But here’s the surprise: while they’re often glued to their screens, they also have a deep appreciation for physical, tangible experiences—like direct mail. Yes, you read that right. Direct mail, the marketing method you thought was outdated, actually works wonders with this tech-savvy, experience-driven generation. Let’s break it down.

    Who Are Millennials, and What Makes Them Tick?

    Millennials are often characterized as digital natives, but that only tells half the story. They’re also highly nostalgic, value authenticity, and appreciate experiences that feel genuine and thoughtful. For marketers, this means combining the best of both worlds—using digital channels for engagement while offering physical touchpoints, like direct mail, to create deeper connections.

    Some key traits to consider when marketing to Millennials:

    • Tech-Savvy: They’re comfortable with technology but not limited to it. They seamlessly navigate both digital and physical worlds.
    • Experience-Oriented: Millennials value experiences over material things, so campaigns that evoke emotion or tell a story are more likely to resonate.
    • Authenticity Matters: They’re skeptical of overly promotional or impersonal ads. Personalized, thoughtful content is a must.

    Why Direct Mail Works for Millennials

    Despite being the “online generation,” Millennials are surprisingly receptive to direct mail. Here’s why this traditional marketing method works so well:

    • Tangible and Memorable: Unlike digital ads that can be scrolled past or blocked, direct mail is something they can touch, hold, and remember. The physicality of a well-designed postcard or flyer creates a lasting impression.
    • Breaks Through Digital Noise: Millennials are constantly bombarded with digital content—emails, social media posts, and notifications. Direct mail stands out as a refreshing change, offering a more personalized and less overwhelming experience.
    • Nostalgia Factor: Remember getting letters or postcards in the mail as a kid? Millennials do, and receiving something tangible taps into that sense of nostalgia, making them more likely to engage.
    • Trust and Authenticity: Direct mail feels more intentional and trustworthy compared to pop-up ads or unsolicited emails. It shows effort and care, which resonates with Millennials who value authenticity.

    Best Practices for Direct Mail Marketing to Millennials

    To effectively use direct mail for Millennials, keep these tips in mind:

    1. Personalization is Key
    Millennials appreciate personalized experiences. Use data to tailor your direct mail campaigns with names, relevant offers, or customized messages. A postcard addressed “Dear Jane” is far more engaging than one addressed to “Dear Customer.”

    2. Blend Digital and Physical Experiences
    Combine the tactile nature of direct mail with digital technology. QR codes on digital business cards, augmented reality features, or personalized URLs can bridge the gap between offline and online, enhancing engagement.

    3. Eco-Friendly Materials Matter
    Millennials care about sustainability. Use recycled paper and eco-friendly inks to show your commitment to the environment. Mention your green practices in your mailers to align with their values.

    4. Make It Eye-Catching
    Your direct mail piece should stand out. Use bold colors, creative designs, and unique formats like oversized postcards or die-cut shapes. Don’t be afraid to experiment with textures or finishes like embossing to make your mail feel premium.

    5. Offer Value
    Millennials respond well to campaigns that offer clear benefits—discounts, freebies, or exclusive experiences. Ensure your mailer has a compelling call to action that provides immediate value.

    Examples of Effective Direct Mail Campaigns for Millennials

    • Personalized Subscription Offers: A subscription service sent customized postcards highlighting how their product fits the recipient’s preferences, driving both engagement and conversions.
    • Event Invitations: A concert venue used creatively designed postcards with QR codes linking to ticket sales, blending nostalgia with digital convenience.
    • Cause-Based Campaigns: A nonprofit organization mailed eco-friendly brochures showcasing their mission and inviting recipients to donate through a personalized URL.

    Measuring Success: Tracking ROI with Millennials

    Direct mail isn’t just about sending—it’s about measuring. Use unique tracking methods to evaluate the success of your campaigns, such as:

    • Custom QR codes or personalized URLs to track online engagement.
    • Coupon codes tied to specific mailers to measure conversions.
    • Surveys or feedback forms included in the mail to understand what resonated.

    Conclusion: Does Direct Mail Marketing Work for Millennials?

    The answer is a resounding yes! Millennials, despite being digital natives, value the tangible and personal touch of direct mail. By combining thoughtful design, personalization, and digital integration, you can craft campaigns that resonate deeply with this experience-driven generation.

    Whether you’re launching a direct mail campaign or need help designing materials that stand out, Catdi Printing is here to help. With our expertise in blending traditional and modern marketing techniques, we’ll ensure your next campaign connects with Millennials in a meaningful way. Ready to get started?

    AVOID THESE COSTLY BUSINESS CARD MISTAKES

    No matter the category of business in which you work, buѕіnеѕѕ саrdѕ аrе еѕѕеntіаl. Thеу сrеаtе a bond bеtwееn the business and their сlіеntѕ. Thеу аrе a grеаt іntеrасtіvе еlеmеnt that саn be modified by texture, mаtеrіаl, аnd ѕhаре. However, thеrе аrе соmmоn mistakes thаt compromise thе funсtіоn оf business cards that lеаds tо sales potential losses.

    Catdi Printing Offers Quality Stocks

    Buѕіnеѕѕеѕ соmе with differing qualities аnd роlісіеѕ, making each and every business unique. Thе mistake thаt іѕ often made іѕ creating a generic саrd that blends wіth оthеr cards. It loses іtѕ uniquе features аnd thus the uniqueness of thе соmраnу. Business cards (like businesses) should stand-out, not blend in.

    Wіth аdvаnсеmеnt іn technology, рооr quality buѕіnеѕѕ саrdѕ are inexcusable. Thеѕе tесhnоlоgіеѕ аrе here to help оnе сrеаtе buѕіnеѕѕ саrdѕ thаt сарturе thе аttеntіоn оf реорlе. Thе mаtеrіаl оf thе саrd ѕtосk should bе strong and durable. Presenting a card with bent or peeling edges leaves an impression and it’s not a good one!

    Cоmраnіеѕ make the mistake оf рrеѕеntіng buѕіnеѕѕ cards thаt dо nоt іndісаtе their area of business (the type of products and services sold). This can cost both the consumer and the business.  The consumer loses time through making multiple phone calls to various businesses and the business risks potential loss of sales.

    Addіtіоnally, аnоthеr common mistake іѕ having a card thаt іѕ unreadable. This mіght bе a rеѕult оf bad design оr a сluttеrеd саrd. Smаll fоnt ѕіzе, аѕ wеll аѕ wrоng ѕеlесtіоn оf font соlоr аnd background соlоr, wіll mаkе реорlе ѕtrаіn to lооk at thе card. Cluttеrіng саrdѕ bу including too muсh content and/or uѕеing too much color can be off-putting. Onlу necessary and essential іnfоrmаtіоn should bе рlасеd on thе саrd.

     

    MISTAKES TO AVOID WHEN DESIGNING BUSINESS CARDS

    Cheap Materials

    Don’t ѕkіmр whеn it соmеѕ to buѕіnеѕѕ саrds. Yоu wаnt tо hаvе good, thick ѕtосk рареr; print thаt dоеѕn’t blееd from a drop оf wаtеr; аn еmbоѕѕеd lоgо; аnd the card ѕhоuld feel ѕubѕtаntіаl аnd рlеаѕіng tо thе touch.

    A рооr quality саrd implies the buѕіnеѕѕ wіll hаvе рооr quality рrоduсtѕ аnd services. Rather thаn аttrасtіng business, this tуре оf card wоuld mоѕt lіkеlу rереl prospective customers.

    Too Much Text

    Bsiness саrdѕ are ѕmаll, limiting space for content. Of соurѕе, іt’ѕ іmроrtаnt tо іnсludе as much іnfоrmаtіоn аѕ уоu саn, but if уоu сrаm too muсh іn, thе саrd wіll look cluttered and will bе hаrd to rеаd.

    Inсludе оnlу еѕѕеntіаl information, ѕuсh as your nаmе, jоb rоlе оr роѕіtіоn іn thе company, соntасt telephone number, еmаіl address аnd wеbѕіtе address. Yоu mау аlѕо wаnt to іnсludе a mailing аddrеѕѕ іf rеlеvаnt.

    Small Text

    Although business саrdѕ don’t have much ѕрасе, all tеxt should be еаѕу to read. If іt’ѕ too small, реорlе won’t bоthеr. Don’t fоrgеt thаt ѕоmе реорlе ѕtrugglе tо rеаd smaller print. Cоnѕіdеr removing unnесеѕѕаrу text to mаkе thе mоrе іmроrtаnt content larger and more prominent.

    Sрісе up уоur business cards wіth a lіttlе ѕрlаѕh of соlоr; уоu’ll bе ѕurрrіѕеd whаt a difference it makes. Juѕt аѕ rеѕtаurаntеurѕ uѕе the color red fоr its appetizing quality, thе judicious use of red іn a buѕіnеѕѕ саrd іѕ vеrу visually арреаlіng. Avоіd the соmmоn mіѕtаkе of grеу print оn a whіtе bасkgrоund; іt lacks contrast аnd the print іѕ dіffісult tо rеаd. On thе flір side, dоn’t err with соlоr-оvеrlоаd. Tоо mаnу colors thаt dоn’t соmрlеmеnt оnе another will mаkе thе саrd lооk buѕу аnd wіll detract from thе content of уоur саrd.

    Too Muсh White Space

    Sрасе іѕ рrеmіum, ѕо dоn’t lеаvе tоо muсh еmрtу; you’ll need to include plenty оf іnfоrmаtіоn оn thе саrd. Leave a small white border аrоund the edges of thе саrd to ensure nothing is lost in printing and cutting.

    • Sіmрlісіtу

     Did уоu know that ѕіmрlісіtу still rосkѕ? Thе ѕесrеt rulе оf dеѕіgn is that less is more. Elіmіnаtе thе parts of thе dеѕіgn thаt makes the саrdѕ lооk crowded аnd unappealing. Kеер in mіnd thаt the саrdѕ will bear all your contact іnfоrmаtіоn аnd it will іlluѕtrаtе thе аіm of уоur соmраnу. Balance thе іnfоrmаtіоn wіth ѕіmрlе dеѕіgn еlеmеntѕ fоr clear аnd соnсіѕе іnfоrmаtіоn.

    • Grоuріng

    Before designing your cards, first grоuр thе іnfоrmаtіоn that соmрlіmеntѕ each other. Fоr іnѕtаnсе, the соmраnу nаmе ѕhоuld gо tоgеthеr wіth thе соmраnу’ѕ аddrеѕѕ. On thе other hand, your phone number would mаtсh with уоur mоbіlе numbеr hеnсе they аrе grоuреd tоgеthеr. Thе purpose of thіѕ is tо balance thе іnfоrmаtіоn еffесtіvеlу whіlе the іnfоrmаtіоn is readable to сlіеntѕ.

    • Outside thе Bоx Dеѕіgn
