Why Canvas Prints Make Great Gifts For Parents
According to Google, the average South African spends approximately R1500 – R2000 (often more) on Christmas gifts alone! That annual gift-spend estimate increases when you add on amounts spent for Birthdays, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and Anniversaries.
.
We estimated the average spend for special occasions and gifts for people we would normally spoil is actually quite astonishing.
.
So, considering how often you buy gifts for other people – what type of gifts do you buy?
.
.
Quite often you can’t always buy top quality gifts or you buy whatever you can find the day before or the morning of if you’re a last-minute buyer kinda guy...
.
You may actually find that when you leave gift-buying to the last minute you end up spending more than you intended and you are more likely to get something that isn’t exactly what you wanted.
.
We realised that we buy gifts for our parents and family fairly regularly. There is Mom’s birthday, Mother’s Day, Dad’s birthday, Father’s Day, their Anniversary and then Christmas. Even if it is just flowers or chocolates, it is still a gift… however lame.
.
Consider this: flowers that last a few days (chocolate a few minutes) VS a personalised gift that will last years.
.
If these questions are causing some A-HA moments then we think you should consider shopping around for…wait for it.. canvas printing specials!Great printing places like Asset Print have excellent canvas printing prices year-round meaning you can put together a great gift no matter the gift occasion..

Use Stickers For Your Business Creatively To Garner Support
With stickers, you can increase your brand and product exposure to your online and offline platforms. Here are seven ways to use sticker printing for business purposes.
.
We love stickers because they are colourful and fun. We use stickers to decorate our water bottles, cars, laptops, notebooks, or refrigerators because they complement our personal items.
Today, many people still don’t realize the power of sticker marketing. In fact, these tiny little things can send messages about anything, even if their design consists of just a simple logo.
With stickers, you can increase your brand and product exposure to your online and offline platforms. Here are seven ways to use stickers for business purposes.
.
1. Product labels
The packaging of your products can have a big impact on how customers perceive your brand. A custom product label can be the perfect way to spruce up your packaging while adding a touch to your own design.
Labels can be used for several different marketing purposes. Most business owners use them to display their brand logos and promote products to customers.
.
These days, more and more people are aware of the effectiveness of product labels. The first impression always matters as it shows your brand personality to the customers. The second impression happens when they read the content of the labels, which should ideally build their interest and trust in your brand.
.
.
2. Sticker seals
What about creating a stunning sticker seal with your custom design, logo, or art on it? Sealing your takeaway packages with your brand logo stickers is one of the smartest ways to showcase your brand online and offline.
People love to share their unboxing experiences on social media. When you use a logo sticker to seal your package, customers will come across brand persona. It’s basically the first thing they will notice before they unbox the package itself.
.
If they share their unboxing experience on social media, imagine the attention your sticker will get alongside the goods delivered. That said, make sure you get your stickers personalized as much as possible, and place them strategically on the package. This will ensure customers keep the brand in mind for a long time.
.
.
3. Branded merchandise stickers
Stickers are the right tool for you to showcase your brand’s creativity. That is why they are interesting merchandise to give out whenever your company organizes an event. It's also a cost-effective way to order them in bulk.
.
Businesses should take advantage of their various occasions that involve crowds to further promote their brands.
.
When you give away stickers as freebies during an event, it helps create excitement for the attendees.
With just a beautifully printed custom sticker, people will talk about your business, product, or service. You could also hand out stickers that announce some exciting offers or discounts. A tempting offer will make the sticker more engaging and interactive.
.
.
4. QR code stickers
With a QR code, you can create a shortcut for customers to visit your website or social media. Consider this as a thoughtful service for customers. They can simply scan the QR code and be taken straight to your landing page, without having to spend time Googling.
.
Your QR code doesn’t have to be a black and white pixel-heavy box. You can make it look fun and interesting by adding in some colour and design.
.
You can also use a QR code to unlock a discount or promotional code for your customer's purchase. In this way, your
marketing strategy gets more results in the long run.
.
.
5. Window Stickers
If you have a storefront or walk-in office, window stickers can be an easy way to notify those passing by about the promotion or discount you offer. This can grab their attention, even when your business is closed.
.
You can also use window stickers to promote your social media, free WiFi, and other info. For decorative window stickers, a clear or transparent material can enhance the colour of your logo and design. You can easily win a customer's attention by just letting your windows do the talking.
.
Use a logo sticker if you want to keep it simple, or check out vinyl lettering stickers for art, motivational quotes, or important information. The best part is that certain window stickers will come off without any damage or residue left on the glass.
.
.
6. Car window Sticker
Car sticker marketing can help literally drive your brand's messages from one location to another. For instance, you can create awareness and generate interest by showcasing your sticker on car bumpers. In this way, you can provide questions to other drivers or their passengers about your product or service while parked or on the road.
.
Whether you're a small business owner, drop shipper, retailer, freelancer, dentist, or lawyer, car sticker marketing can help boost your brand at a low budget. It helps create awareness and visibility that generates interest and curiosity, which may also eventually create conversations in traffic.
.
.
Conclusion
No business should ignore this powerful, low-cost marketing tool. There are several ways you can promote your brand, product, or service with just a small sticker.
.
Luckily, Asset Print can help you design, print, and deliver a variety of customized stickers for marketing purposes.

Types Of Label Adhesives And Their Properties
With many different options available, knowing you’re getting your labels printed with the right adhesive is crucial – especially when all you want is a label that "just works."
.
.
Types of Label Adhesives
There are three main classifications of adhesives to know: permanent, removable and repositionable. Within those categories, pressure-sensitive adhesives have different properties that vary from one to the next, but we’ll get to that in a bit. First, let’s learn more about adhesive types and the reasons why they’re used.
.
- Permanent: The majority of labels printed use a permanent adhesive because they work for most label applications and tend to be the most budget-friendly. Since permanent adhesive labels create a strong bond with the container they are applied to, removing the label can damage the label or container.
- Removable: Labels with a removable adhesive can be removed for a window of time after application without damaging the label or surface it’s applied on. Removable adhesive labels and stickers are ideal for temporarily marking items, store coupons, and limited-time promotions. Be aware that temperature can affect the stickiness and removable capabilities of labels with this adhesive type.
- Repositionable: Repositionable adhesives are designed for short-term removability in cases where the label needs to be repositioned or reapplied. This adhesive can save you time and resources in the long run when labels need to be removed for repositioning (e.g. a crooked label on a container) or reapplied to another surface without losing much adhesion. Depending on which type of repositionable adhesive is used, it can eventually become permanent. The time between initial application and permanent bonding varies depending on the formulation.
.
Getting Technical: Adhesive Properties
The information above is probably enough to help you understand the type of adhesive that will work best for your situation and our reps are ready to walk you through all the variables that go along with these selections. That said, label adhesives can have varying characteristics even if they’re categorized as the same "type," so for your reading pleasure and curiosity, here is an outline of some of the basic properties that help determine an adhesive’s performance as tested by our material suppliers.
.
- Initial Tack: The immediate holding power of the label adhesive on contact with a specific surface. If the initial tack is low, it will have low adhesion, allowing the label to be removed cleanly. Adhesives with a low initial tack will build-up adhesion over time (i.e. the difference between removable and repositionable). On the flipside, adhesives with high initial tack will have a stronger adhesion and bond to the container much more quickly.
- Ultimate Adhesion: The maximum holding power the label will achieve as the adhesive fully bonds to the surface. How long it takes for an adhesive to gain ultimate adhesion varies and depends on factors like the adhesive’s stiffness, the roughness of the receiving surface and environmental conditions. Depending on those factors, it can take anywhere from 2 – 24 hours for ultimate adhesion to happen.
- Shear Resistance: Simply put, label adhesives with a low shear are soft which allows them to flow into the surface they’re applied. They also have a higher initial tack, but can split apart under stress. A higher shear adhesive is more firm so it doesn’t flow as well into the surface, resulting in a lower initial tack and making it less likely to split apart under stress.
- U.V. Resistance: If your labels will be exposed to ultraviolet (U.V.) light for extended periods, they may be susceptible to colour changes or weakened adhesion. Select a U.V. resistant adhesive in cases where your labels will be exposed to U.V. light on your end, or if your labels will be exposed to U.V. light during the printing process (e.g. when a U.V. laminate or coating is applied to your labels) to minimize these effects.
- Solvent Resistance: The adhesive’s capacity to withstand exposure to solvents like water, alcohol, petrochemical solvents, plasticizers, etc. without losing adhesion. The container contents, along with the environment where the product will be used, should be considered.
- Mandrel Hold: How well the label adhesive holds up to a curved or tight radius surface. If an adhesive has a good mandrel hold, it will be harder for the label’s edges to lift up, also known as "flagging."
- Cold Flow: Temperature is an essential consideration with adhesives. Cold flow refers to the adhesive’s ability to bond (or "flow") to a container at below normal temperatures. "Cold temperature" and "all temperature" adhesives will work best when the label is applied in cold environments.
- Minimum Application Temperature: When an adhesive isn’t designed for cold temperatures, it will stiffen and lose its adhesive strength as the temperature decreases. Most adhesives have a minimum application temperature of 40-50 °F before they crystallize and become solid. Cold temperature adhesives can work in temperatures as low as -20 °F.
- Service Temperature Range: The temperature range the adhesive can function in after the label has been applied and built up to its ultimate adhesion. Most pressure-sensitive adhesives have a range of -65 °F to 200 °F with a paper label stock or up to 300 °F with a film label stock.

Why Small Businesses Use Flyers As A Marketing Tool
.
Since the advent of personal computers, smartphones, and mobile devices, digital marketing has become the primary approach for most companies, especially small businesses on a limited budget. Websites, email, social media, and other digital tools make it cost-effective for small businesses to generate strong marketing results. Contrary to popular belief, digital marketing hasn’t caused the demise of print marketing. In fact, not only do print marketing tools continue to have a place in a comprehensive marketing strategy, their role has become increasingly important in today’s digital world.
.
Today’s consumers have become inundated with digital marketing messages. According to a study by the U.S. Postal services, print marketing such as flyers, brochures, and direct mail provide respite from the constant inflow of digital media, making printed materials a very effective way to connect with your target market. The study also showed that large numbers of consumers continue to look to print marketing to inform their buying decisions.
.
At the same time, competition continues to increase in virtually every industry, while consumer attention spans are shorter than ever. Getting your small business noticed now requires a mixture of digital and traditional marketing tools, including flyer printing.
.
Five good reasons to use flyers to promote your business
Printed flyers offer many marketing benefits to small businesses. Five of the most important ones include:
.
- Low cost. Marketing flyers can produce big results on a small budget. You can save on design costs by doing it yourself; plus printing and distribution costs are minimal.
- Keep the pipeline full. A well-designed flyer distributed to the right audience is a very effective way to generate leads.
- Many different uses. Flyers can be used to build your brand, promote a new product, announce a sale or special event, and much more.
- Support your digital marketing. Adding QR codes to flyers allows people to instantly link to more information from your flyer and make buying decisions using their smartphones.
- Easy to track results. Using flyer numbers, coupon codes, and customer URLs enables you to track the number of responses and purchases precisely.
.
Perhaps the biggest benefit of print flyers is that they are tangible. Flyers provide something to hold in your hand rather than looking at a screen. If a flyer comes in the mail, most people will at least see what it’s about. In contrast, millions of marketing emails go unread every day because they can be instantly deleted at a swipe or click of a button.
.
A recent survey reported that 88 percent of respondents believe they understand and retain information better when they read print on paper. Seventy-seven percent reported a preference for reading print compared to digital.
.
How to use flyers to promote your business
As with any marketing tool, flyers have to be done right to get the desired return on investment. The following steps provide a guideline for creating and distributing flyers that get results.
.
Have a clear purpose in mind. Don’t put out a flyer just because everyone else is doing it. Have a clear goal you want to accomplish, such as generating new leads, driving people to your website, producing sales, etc. Otherwise, you’re not likely to produce any meaningful results.
.
Get focused. Especially, get focused on two things: your target market and your message. Flyers don’t work very well with a shotgun approach (sending out large numbers of flyers and hoping that some hit the target). Instead, get very clear on who is likely to be interested in your marketing message and direct the flyer specifically to them.
.
The same holds true for your message. Focus on one or two key points so that you don’t inundate readers with too much information. For example, suppose your company is having a sale on many different items. Instead of trying to list every item on the flyer, limit it to one or two of your best sellers and most popular products.
.
If the purpose of your flyer is to announce a special event, such as a storewide sale, limit the information to what people need to know; include the time, date and location, and what’s in it for them (e.g. 50% off all items).
.
Get creative. In many cases, a flyer may be a consumer’s first introduction to your business, so it’s critical to make a great first impression. Using bold colours, large, compelling headlines, concise, well-written copy, and unique design elements will grab the reader’s attention and encourage them to keep them reading.
.
Basic design tips include:
- Print as colour copies when your flyer contains images. Choose black and white copies when the flyers contains mostly text.
- Use two different fonts at most. Any more and the flyer becomes hard to read.
- Use different size fonts; larger for the headline and subheads, smaller for the body copy.
- Make it easy to read – short, clear sentences with plenty of space between blocks of text so that the flyer doesn’t look crowded.
- Don’t get carried away with too much imagery. A few powerful pictures or graphics will capture the reader’s attention. Too many can make the flyer seem crowded.
.
Have a strong call to action. A marketing flyer without a powerful call to action is like a race car with no fuel. The flyer needs to provide useful information to your target market. But unless you tell people what to do with that info – visit your website, attend the special event, buy your product, etc. – it won’t achieve the goal you set for the flyer. Make every call to action short, dynamic, and compelling enough to motivate readers to take action.
.
Put your flyers in the right places.
The final element in using flyers to promote your business is distribution – where, when, and how you get the flyers in front of your target market. Here’s where knowing your market at a deep level makes the difference. Don’t just focus on how old they are or their income level. Dive into other areas such as where they live, where they shop, how they shop, their personal interests, etc.. This kind of information will tell you where to place your fliers so that they will be seen and responded to.
.
Different ways to distribute flyers include:
.
- Leave-behinds on sales calls
- Include them with customer invoices and vendor payment
- Door-to-door distribution by hand (in targeted areas)
- Place flyers on cars
- Insert flyers into neighborhood newspapers to reach a local audience
- Hand out to event attendees
- Distribute at trade shows and industry gatherings
- Give out at fairs, festivals, and sporting events
- Insert flyers in packages sent to retail customers
.
Make sure you have a way to track the results of every distribution. Otherwise, you won’t know which areas and distribution methods produced the best responses. Finally, when using flyers to market your business, don’t scrimp on the printing to save a few bucks. A low-quality print job does not make a good first impression. It also saps the energy out of the flyer. For high-quality custom flyers that get results, visit Asset Print – the marketing flyer experts.

Why Adding Social Media To Your Business Cards Is Vital
Social media has quickly become an important part of the modern business model and is no longer something businesses should ignore. Individual influencers, startups, entrepreneurs, small businesses, and even large companies have chosen to communicate with consumers on platforms including Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and others because of the increased exposure it provides.
.
According to Statista, there were more than 219 million social media users in the United States in 2019. There will be more than 233 million users estimated by the end of 2020.
.
So, what do you put on your business cards to drive awareness? Besides, the standard business card information, (contact information including email address, phone number, etc.) including your social media handles can be a great option.
Below are just a few reasons why you should consider adding them to your card.
.
1. Puts a "Face to a Name"
A business card with social media icons automatically obtains a level of credibility. It makes your business more approachable, easy to access, and shows that your business has a social standing online.
.
Instead of merely reading about your business, potential consumers who obtain your card can explore your brand. They can learn how your business expresses itself, your audience interaction, your social following, what industries your business supports, and more in a few clicks and taps.
.
Tip: If you have social accounts across multiple mediums, try to keep the handles the same on each.
.
2. Expands your Network
While providing a simple business card will expand your network to one person, providing a premium card with social media icons can help expose your business to many people.
.
When someone likes a post on your page, others are more likely to see the post. With this kind of exposure, businesses are capable of growing at a much faster rate. The larger your social network becomes, the larger your exposure will be.
.
3. Builds Trust and Credibility
Building your social network is also becoming increasingly important for building credibility. Anyone can go through your profile and browse customers’ reactions to your business posts and check up on the latest reviews. As your follower base grows, it becomes an increasingly important option to interact with your audience.
.
.
Today, social media has become the easiest way for consumers to directly communicate with businesses. So, it’s important to check your profiles often and respond to questions, concerns, and even complaints.
.
"64% of consumers expect businesses to respond to their queries instantly." – Salesforce
.
When a potential consumer explores your business card with the profiles, trusting your business will become easier because your interaction with your followers shows you care.
.
Tip: You don’t have to display the entire handle on your business card. Just putting the site icon on the card is sufficient.
.
4. Makes your Business Human
Having accounts on your business card shows you want to connect with partners and consumers alike. Beyond getting a sale, your business wants to interact with its audience. This creates a reason to check out your business because your consumer then wants to know what you’re offering and why others choose to follow you.
.
Show them the human side of your business. Along with social posts, this can be done by video and stories. By creating a story not only can it help your business stand out, but it can help differentiate your business from competitors while creating a powerful brand image.
.
5. Free Advertising
Creating an account requires an email, name, and password. From that point forward, you can create a profile image and header image for your business. Create a header image that represents you and your business. Whether it’s a business slogan, product image, the header is a great way to advertise to everyone who visits your profile.
.
Using social media has proven to be a strategy many companies want to utilize. According to Buffer’s State of the Social report, 58.8% of businesses agreed social media was a significant part of their marketing strategy, and 30.5% agreed it was somewhat important.
.
"54% of social browsers use social media to research products and services before they buy." – GlobalWebIndex
.
6. Reviews and Mentions
When you include the profiles on your card, you are giving your customers an outlet to express their appreciation for your business, products, or services. Reviews can go a long way and intrigue others to become a fan and follow your business story.
.
Once a person makes a purchase for the service you’re offering, make it easy for them to leave a comment about their experience with your business. By doing so, their review will be seen by anyone who comes across your page; as you receive good reviews, the potential of people exploring your profile increases.
.
Make sure you create a custom business hashtag. This can help customs, and potentially new customers find you and your business. It’s also a great way to keep up with what customers are saying about your business. Plus, incorporating a hashtag can help customers find you and your services.
.
By including social media on your card can open up new opportunities for growth and increase awareness of your business and brand. These platforms are continually growing, and so are the number of signups. So, it’s essential to be active on the social media platforms that fit your business.
.
What do you think? Should you put social media on our business cards? Let us know.

Labels Series: Interesting Facts Part 3
Here’s Part 3 of our labels series - filled with more interesting facts about labels and label printing.

- The first crude method of label construction involved designing the wine label on a stone then passing an ink roller over it to produce the label.
- The Italian wine labels of the 19th and 20th centuries revealed clues about daily life. Their labels displayed coats of arms, landscapes, portraits and medals of the individual wine families.
- The birth of the inkjet printer in the 1980s was responsible for an explosion in the use of labels across all commercial sectors.
- Today labels are used to communicate a wide range of information about products including how to use, transport, recycle and dispose of them.

Ways to Leverage Printing and Stand-Out
Even in this digital age, ‘the power of print‘ cannot be denied. Human beings will always have an emotional reaction to holding something colourful and interesting in their hands. From a very early age, people learn to examine and understand with their fingers and hands. This is why the printed page will very likely always have a unique appeal.
.
.
As a business owner, you have to take advantage of that power and use professional printing to your advantage. But how, in this age of distraction and animation and slick video presentations can a mere roll-up banner, banner walls, poster or business card measure up? Consider the fact print book sales are going up, even though e-books have been available at retail now for more than ten years.
.
Using print effectively is not as difficult as you think. In fact, you may find a fair number of your prospective clients and customers relieved by the fact your business cards and brochures aren’t reaching through a screen at them.
.
If you are looking for ways to leverage print for your business, here are some things to consider.
.
Coordinate Your Imagery
Think about the most successful music videos of all time. What did they have in common? Some can credibly argue they all shared at least one synchronized dancing segment.
.
Well, what if your documents could synchronize themselves somehow? Wouldn’t that draw more attention than a simple business card or booklet?
.
If you were to place a pen, business card, printed banner wall, brochure and t-shirt on your table at your next trade show, and all five objects had the same logo on them, how do you think people would respond? You know how you responded the last time you saw five image-coordinated objects. It draws the eye. It creates curiosity.
.
.
Coordinate Your Colors
Ask your printer to explain colour theory to you sometime if you want to learn one of the keys to the universe. Even simpler, ask yourself this question: Why are all fast food logos red and yellow?
.
Colour theory says yellow makes you anxious and red makes you hungry. If you want to know if colour theory works, stop by takeaway burger place on a Friday evening around 6 PM and count the cars in the drive-thru.
.
If you want to use colour theory in your brochures or tchotchkes, try green. It conveys peace and prosperity. It should probably be your official colour if you’re selling investments.
.
Whatever you do, pick great colours that send the right message and paint everything you print at Asset Print with them.
.
Face to Face
The human brain is uniquely constructed to decode human faces. Nothing draws attention like an unfamiliar face, except possibly the face of a very attractive man or woman.
.
If at all possible your printed materials should have someone’s face on them, whether it is your own or a stock photograph. If you can use color theory and image coordination to combine with the same face on all of your materials, so much the better.
.
Tell a Story
Everything starts out as a story and ends up as a story. The reason is pretty simple. Human beings respond to stories in ways we respond to nothing else.
.
There is no faster way to get someone’s undivided attention without their defenses going up than to start with "let me tell you a story."
.
Your print materials should tell a story of some kind. Even if it’s just an intriguing tag line, getting someone to buy in before you even start your pitch is vital to your long-term sales prospects, even at a trade show.
.
Importance of Contrast
The most effective contrast combination on Earth is white on red. If you are skeptical, count the number of youth sports teams that use red jerseys with white numbers. Then count the teams with green jerseys and blue numbers.
.
Good contrast is attention getting. Think of the best book cover you’ve ever seen. Chances are it has big bold letters and a high contrast centered color of some kind on a receding darker-colored background.
.
The reason you bought that book is because it jumped off the shelf, and the other books had inferior covers.
.
Your business should have superior attention-getting power. That’s why you need contrast.
.
There are no silver bullets when it comes to marketing. All you can do is give yourself the best chance of success and throw for the end zone. But if you follow the advice of professional printers and get the highest quality printed materials you can, your chances of success will be considerably enhanced.

You can get your own. Just choose die-cut stickers & print them on white vinyl. If you want added bling, you can print them on glitter, and get some glittery paint effects. Awesome!

Bring Your Location/ Event to Life with Banners
.
Hosting a special event provides you with the opportunity to interact with your customers and employees in a different way. While the business might be at the heart of the conversations, you also get to interact in a more social manner. From the location to the food, each detail has required your attention. Choosing to add banners or posters around your location can make it even more successful.
.
Identifying Location: Retractable Banners or Posters
You’ve probably been to at least one event where you could not find the entrance. You may have awkwardly wandered around for several minutes until someone pointed you in the right direction. If the event had only had a retractable banner or poster, you probably would not have become lost. While guests eventually forgive a lack of direction at the beginning, you want them to enter the event on a positive note. Choosing signage to direct them to where to go is a wise decision. This step is particularly useful if the celebration space has multiple entrances or is housed in a building with multiple events occurring at the same time.

Product and Service Identification: Logo Promo and Posters
If you’re offering products and services at your event, then you want to have some indoor posters that clearly demonstrates where they are. For example, maybe you are playing host to a bridal showcase. Guests probably don’t want to walk up to businesses only to ask where their competitors’ stands are located. You can select posters and logo promotional products that fit with the formality of the event so that guests can enjoy the ambience and still find where it is that they want to go.
.
Printing Seating Information: Color Copies
Some events have formal seating arrangements, and you want to present that information in a clear manner. An indoor poster near the entrance can help to convey those details. Instead of having guests who accidentally sit down in the wrong seat, they can immediately see that their seats have already been chosen. Guests are often eager to find out with whom they will be sitting, so a poster delineating the seating arrangements also allows them to absorb that information.
.
Theme and Ambiance
If you have selected a particular theme for the celebration, you want to ensure that it is infused into the affair. For example, some hosts discuss a theme and include it on the invitations, but when the guests arrive, they discover that no elements of the theme have been included in the decor itself. Working to bring these details into the decor of the event shows that you are dedicated to it. Chances are that you want guests to attend future events, and they are more likely to do so if they have a favorable impression of this one.
.
.
Schedule of Events
You might be hosting a celebration where different performers will appear at various times, or you might need to convey a schedule of events to the guests. In any case, a poster allows you to do with great ease. Instead of wasting paper by passing out a small brochure to every guest, you can put all of it onto one poster. If you are having many guests or the room is very large, you could consider a couple of posters. Doing so will still help you to be kind to the environment and to convey your point.
.
When you’re thinking about the details of the event, you might not immediately consider posters signs and banners. However, after evaluating all the ways in which they can help, you may see the need to have at least a few of them printed especially for your event. And if you happen to need help, the online printing experts at Asset Print are the ones to contact to print affordable banners!
