People often decorate their notebooks and computers with colorful stickers. College students are fond of putting stickers of their favorite bands and political preferences on their laptops. They are colorful and cheap, and they allow people to express themselves. That’s why many companies include stickers in the packing box and their products.
Custom stickers are a great way to advertise your business. People love getting a freebie, and a sticker is an inexpensive gift you can include with an order. If a person puts your sticker on their refrigerator, phone, or computer, they will act as a walking billboard for your company.
Even if a customer does not use your sticker, they are less likely to throw away a sticker than they would a business card. They may keep it handy to remind themselves where to get your product.
