CoffeeNet Rules of Sign
Advertising:
-
Rotate or highlight signage
often.
-
Images must be crisp and
neat. Check your resolution. Web resolution
-72 dpi is horrible for printing - needs to be at least
150 dpi or higher.
-
Make sure they are largest
enough to read or see from a distance. (At least 200 pt
for font)
-
Spelling must be correct.
-
Season promotions are only
for a season. Christmas signs need to be down by
Valentines day!!!! Take advantage of Christmas to sell
winter drinks, gift ideas, etc.
-
Avoid putting prices unless
it is needed for the promotion. This could date your ad.
You want to use it more than just one time.
-
Make sure all personnel is
versed in the promotion and can talk glowingly about it.
Nothing kills a sale faster than a lackluster half
hearted delivery. Get your staff excited and
involved.
Advertising Budget:
If you have a digital camera
with at least 5 megapixels of resolution you can shoot some
high quality images. You will only have to worry about
printing them. I suggest printing in sizes of 24x36
and bigger. These can be seen from the parking lot.
Kinkos prints on foam board color starting at $10 per square
foot --24x36 is 6 feet --$60 for full color print. If
they laminate it you can use the promotion again.
You can buy images online
-starting at low as $1.00 or even look at our stock
campaigns. Remember printing needs a higher
resolution.
Exercise:
Stop by your local Barnes and
Nobles or franchised coffee chain. Look at their
posters and promotion ideas. This will give you an
idea of what you should do too.
