Get Your Business Ready with Ready-to-Apply Decals

 

Businesses do all kinds of things to get attention – everything from flashing neon signs to balloons and even inflatable blimps! If these aren’t a viable (or preferred) option for your business, but you still need signage to make your patrons aware of a new offering or special sale, you should think about how you could use ready-to-apply decals for your store or business windows. Whether you’re making a custom design or choosing from templates, these peel and stick decals are an easy way for customers to identify your business and anything else you want to catch their eye. 

You can choose whether you want your decal to apply to the inside of the window (best for store and car windows) or the outside (best for tinted surfaces). And they aren’t just for business identification, either. You can use them to provide directions at an event or other instructions, such as no smoking or no cell phone use in a certain area. ...read more

Spicing Things up in the Kitchen

 

Guest Blogger Stephanie Buttrill is a vice president at Ketchum, the public relations agency for FedEx Office. Like many New Yorkers, Stephanie is a long-term apartment dweller. With such limited space – and very few cabinets – organization is a must!

My husband and I bought our first apartment together almost three years ago. We were young(er) and starry eyed about the whole thing – like many young couples are when diving into the real estate market. Looking back on it now, there are so many things we didn’t notice about the home we settled into that make us batty now. Most of these happen to be in the kitchen…

T
ake, for example, the fact that none of our kitchen cabinet doors match.

Making Your Books a Bit More Personal

 

I love getting lost in the fresh, crisp pages of a brand new book. I’ve worked over the last several years to build a nice library of special hardcover books, and wanted them to have special designation showing how I acquired them – whether they came as a gift from a friend or relative, or I found them in a unique bookstore or on a trip somewhere. So, I decided the best way to add that special information was to label the inside cover. I was hesitant to insert my scribbly, scrawling handwriting with a permanent pen and decided instead to make stickers that have my name and left just a simple line where I could write in the date that I either got the book or read it, and a line for another special notation. As a bonus, if I ever loan the books out, the borrower always knows where to return them – perfect for book clubs! ...read more
