Of course, not any old sign will do! The sign above the front door of your business or the custom vinyl banner you hang in a strategic location directing people to your place of business must present your company in a positive light and needs to be professionally designed and printed. After all, it is common knowledge that first impressions mean everything!

Nothing can ruin the desired positive effect of a customized banner more than a spelling or grammatical error. A forgotten or transposed letter will be the only thing a person will see, especially if it is on a sign in 2 foot tall lettering. One great example where a slogan was grammatically antithetical to the message that the company was trying to put out there was Sara Lees “Nobody Doesn’t Like Sara Lee!” We all remember the jingle but a fatal flaw lies in the use of the double negative in the message. The slogan actually suggested that nobody likes Sara Lee!

A few other glaring advertising errors that made it passed the quality control people include:

-Bacardi tried to introduce a drink called Pavian into the European market to little success. Pavian, in German, means ‘baboon’!

-The “Pepsi gives you a zest for life!” campaign was anything but a success in China where the slogan translates as “Pepsi brings your ancestors back from the grave”

- Vauxhall’s famous Nova car wasn’t a hit on the Spanish market as the words ‘no va’ translates to ‘won’t go’!

The above examples of even the big companies making mistakes with their sign printing and advertising slogans goes to show that it is easy to make a mistake, so do some research before you pay out for professional sign printing. Full color vinyl banners are great if you want to aim your product at a young or fun audience but a black and white sign may be more appropriate for a funeral directors. Think about your audience before designing your customized vinyl banners.

The point of advertising is to increase your brand recognition and grow your business. A professional sign printing company will ensure that your customize vinyl banner includes both your logo and your company’s slogan. Repeated viewings of a good looking sign or vinyl banner is a great way to increase your business’s brand recognition!
