We’re in the process of designing some stickers for a clients new vehicle, and dug up these great examples of stickers being used in advertising!
Many companies, whose only form of advertising is stickers, have seen an increase in business by as much as 550%.
The great thing about these stickers is that they can be easily customised and this is probably one of the main reasons why they have become so popular. We love them because they allow a business to be different, and often with a bit of tongue in cheek – which we love!
