10 Creative Ways to Brand with Stickers

Great and unexpected ways to market your brand with stickers.

Stickers make it easy to promote your brand on just about any surface: glass, wood, metal, paint, plastic, and more. The more creative you get with sticker branding, the more likely your brand will be noticed and remembered. The following lists 10 creative ways to brand with stickers.

1. Bicycle and motorcycle helmets

Print die-cut stickers that fit perfectly on bicycle helmets, motorcycle helmets, and other items to promote your brand. If bicyclists or motorcyclists don't fit your target audience, find out who does and print branded stickers just for their equipment.

2. Electronic devices

Print stickers die-cut to fit iPhones, smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other electronic devices. If your designs are cool or your followers are proud to display their affiliation with you, then you could easily have branded stickers placed on thousands of devices – the kind that people's friends and family members always see.

3. In every delivery

If you ship retail products, make sure your stickers are placed in every shipment. It's a simple and cost-effective way to distribute stickers to your customers.

4. Calendars

Print stickers as calendars meant to be affixed to filing cabinets and other areas where they can be easily referenced. Make sure your brand is prominently displayed.

5. Sports schedules

Similar to calendars, sports schedules printed on stickers can help you reach your target audience.

6. Conversion charts

If cooks are in your target audience, print stickers as handy kitchen conversion charts that can be affixed just about anywhere and referenced anytime they're needed. If you're in an industry that doesn't work with kitchens, brainstorm ways to add value to your branded stickers so your customers will want to use them.

7. Unexpected areas

Ceilings, floors, public restrooms, on produce – these are all unexpected places for branded stickers. When you deploy stickers in unexpected areas, they'll command more attention and be more memorable.

8. Important phone numbers or websites 

Another way to add value to your customers' lives with stickers is to print branded stickers that have important local numbers or websites that can be quickly referenced in the event of an emergency.

9. On oversized price tags

Stickers can be placed on every price tag in any retail store, and this is good. But if you sell large items that do not typically have price tags, draw attention to your brand by printing stickers as oversized price tags. Car dealers, for example, could brand their dealerships in this manner. 

10 . In the public eye

Street signs, light poles, transformer boxes, public buildings, public service vehicles, and more can be great places to brand your company – so long as you have permission first.
