Prince Lawn and Garden's ad design

Print Ad Design

This advertisement for Motorola two-way radios was created to target the lawn and garden audience in the 2015 Prince Lawn & Garden catalog. Communicating that two-way radios are a tremendous benefit to this industry as they often have a small staff covering a large greenhouse with a separated retail check out area.

ACS Lawn and Garden Ad Design

Communicating the benefits of how two-way radios optimized operations is key to converting readers to customers. The bright and colorful image attracts the attention of the pre-qualified lawn and garden reader, the bullet points highlight the benefits of the product, and the content closes with a call-to-action with the 7 Day No Risk Trial.

This ad design is being used for both print and web advertising. Check out our ad in the online version of Prince’s Lawn & Garden catalog.

this is an example of MBC Services' thermography business cards

Thermography Business Cards

These dual-process flat ink and thermography business cards were printed for a local home and building maintenance company. The front of the card was printed in flat reflex blue ink, while the back was printed in raised ink. Typically a varnish coat to protect the heavy coverage area of ink would be applied. This minimizes fingerprinting and ink rub-off. For this project, we looked to keep it as affordable as possible so the customer decided against the varnish. The dark blue ink provided a perfect color contrast for the light blue linen cover stock we chose to print on.

Delta Controls Chicago recently relocated and needed the new address printed on their business stationery.  Our team jumped into action to get everything complete before moving into the new location!

Wake boarding world record holders infographic design

Infographic Design

Wake Essentials was looking to drive more traffic to their website.  They were looking specifically for wakeboarders who needed wakeboard towers and accessories!  We devised an infographic design using unique, engaging wakeboarding content. This will be promoted through various channels, blog posts, and e-mail marketing.

Wake Essentials Infographic Design

Our strategy was to promote it to the Guinness World Record holders through social media and personal contact.  Many are active on Facebook and are still involved in the wake boarding community.  This made the content shareable and retweet-able to a very specific audience.  The blog post included a more detailed account of the record breaking feats and video of the Greatest Distance by an Individual.  It also included links to social media profiles of many riders.

Infographics are just one way to catch the eye of your target audience.  Start treating your customers and leads like intelligent human being with intelligent ways to advertise your business. There are only so many times you can say the wake board towers are on sale before loyal customers tune out.
