A vehicle wrap is the most effective form of advertising in the market today. One car wrap garners between 30,000 and 70,000 views per day.It is a competitive environment and it isn’t easy to create customer awareness by using simple, traditional advertising. You have to be out-of-the-ordinary to be seen in today’s marketplace. If you want your brand to be recognized and be at the top of your client’s mind when they are in need of your product or services, you have to stay in front of them daily. 

 

 

Car wraps boast the lowest cost-per-impression rate than any other form of advertising media and is affordable not only for the large brands that elect to use vehicle wraps as a core advertising strategy, but also for small and medium-sized businesses. You can’t shut of the message on a vehicle, like you can on TV, it is displaying your message and providing valuable advertising 24/7.

Truck Wraps | The Boston Globe

 

Boston, Massachusetts- Cranky Creative is the preferred graphics provider for all of The Boston Globe’s mobile advertising. Cranky Creative has worked with The Boston Globe numerous times to reinforce their brand legacy in the Boston area. Most recently we did truck wraps for their ‘We are Boston Sports’ and ‘Deal of the Day’ campaigns.

 

Vehicle wraps are the most affordable type of outdoor advertising. They get the most amount of views from potential customers for every dollar spent. Even when you are out of town or in traffic your brand continues to be advertised.

 

They are also eye-catching and great for targeting local customers. A well designed vehicle wrap can increase business 20% to 70%, according to Arbitron studies.

Cranky Creative Launches New Website

Durham, NC – Barbra Bannon, President and CEO of Cranky Creative Group, a Durham-based advertising firm specializing in wrap advertising, announced that the firm has launched a new website in an effort to easily provide accurate and timely information to potential and current clients and the media.

 

The URL for the website has remained the same, www.crankycreative.com, but the website has a new look and feel, with different navigation and content that is more effectively promoted through a new central navigation hub. The new website highlights Cranky’s new event graphics product line that includes such graphics as elevator wraps, giant window graphics, van and bus wraps, wall murals, banners, and even Porta John graphics. Cranky Creative’s goal is to make information more convenient and accessible to both the general public and the media.

 

A key element of the redesign was the implementation of a new content management system (CMS) allowing Cranky Creative to have control over content, use of technology, and design of the site. The new CMS will allow for easier and more efficient updates of news releases and the addition of articles and blog posts.

 

Barbra Bannon states, “The new website more accurately reflects the professionalism of our staff, quality of our products, and socially responsible culture.”

 

Cranky Creative Group partnered with Tim King of Click Graphics, a graphic design and printing studio based in Clayton, NC, to create and launch the website. “Click Graphics is a wonderful company to work with, we told them what our needs were and they helped us bring our ideas to life,” said Bannon.

 

Cranky Creative Group also worked with Adam Williams, Director of Creative Services at Azhea Entertainment, LLC to design the website.

Elevator Wraps as an Effective Advertising Medium

New Hampshire- Similar to vehicle wraps, elevator wraps can’t be turned off or thrown away. They are continuously read over and over again by those that see them. The advertised message is read while waiting for the elevator, inside the elevator and when exiting the elevator.

 

In the above advertisement a typical wedding photo was affixed to elevator doors in a law firm. Unfortunately, every time the doors opened, the couple split up. But help was at hand for everyone in the same position as soon as they stepped into the elevator: a sign showed the name of the law firm and which floor the office was on.

 

Elevator wraps remain an effective advertising medium because they make a mundane act, waiting for an elevator, a memorable moment. Who wouldn’t remember a couple that split up every time elevator doors opened? Elevator wraps are being used frequently by companies and event planners looking to make a unique impression on potential clients and consumers.

Ajax Uses Automatic Door Wraps for Creative Marketing Campaign

Chicago, Illinois- Similar to window graphics, automatic doors can be wrapped with advertisements to reach captive audiences as they enter and exit the desired location.

 

Pictured above, Ajax wrapped the doors of supermarkets in order to make the ‘Ajax Glass’ effect clear to everyone. The doors were modified to look dusty so that when the doors were closed you could not see anything. When the doors opened the two squeegees cleaned the windows, leaving a crystal clear image of the supermarket.

 

Ajax took advantage of the unique space that the supermarkets had and chose to advertise on them. This is much more unconventional than the usual supermarket display, yet brings more attention to the creativeness and effectiveness of the advertisement.

 

Cranky Creative takes pride in being able to set the bar high for its customers with branding opportunities and graphics similar to Ajax’s. As mentioned before the automatic door graphics are very similar to window graphics, which are effectively used for event branding. Imagine the doors and windows of an event being utilized with a message to attendees, to recognize sponsors, or to simply advertise the convention. The possibilities are endless with what can be done.

 

For more information about window graphics for your next event branding opportunity call Cranky Creative at 877-311-7446 or visit www.crankycreative.com!
