Sage Jackson, "The Speech Shuttle Captain", initially came to Speedpro Imaging of Greater Atlanta with a creative idea and a few sketches on paper; wanting to get a full color bus wrap.

With two days of installation, we achieved every kid's dream of becoming an astronaut and riding in a space shuttle. With a little imagination, Speedpro Imaging of Greater Atlanta can morph your ordinary vehicle into an extraordinary one.

Laminates: Enhancing the Print

Laminate wrap by Speedpro Imaging of Greater Atlanta

More than just "icing on the cake" for a graphics job, laminates and protective films also can be the key ingredient when it comes to a print's durability. Plus, a laminate can add to the graphic's aesthetic- providing a texture and visual feel that really pulls the viewer's eye. Add in other qualities like enhanced slip-resistance for floor graphics and an anti-graffiti agent for public venues and it's all but impossible to ignore how critical laminates are in today's wide-format world.

By. Christopher J. Derry from September 2010 Wide-Format Imaging on page 28.

Vehicle graphics are a terrific way to maximize your advertising dollars while adding to your marketing mix. When compared with traditional media channels, vehicle wrapping offers an unparalleled value. According to the Transportation Advertising Council, a division of the OAAA, vehicle advertising generates between 30,000 and 70,000 vehicular impressions per day. Whether you maintain an entire fleet of vehicles or just a single auto, vehicle graphics offer a tremendous value and great return on your initial investment.

Brand Exposure

This is an exceptional and cost effective way to add to your marketing mix. During an economic downturn, maintaining a consistent presence in front of consumers is as important as ever. It is this brand awareness and recall that plays such a critical role for consumers when they are ready to spend their hard earned dollars.

Cost Per Impression

There have been extensive case studies highlighting the value and effectiveness of vehicle-based advertising. When comparing average CPM (cost per 1000 impressions), vehicle graphics offer a significant cost advantage and reach over traditional media outlets. According to a recent study by the Outdoor Advertising Assoociation of American:

- Vehicle graphics cost approximately .80 cents = $1.30 CPM.

- In the top 100 television markets, a 30 second prime time spot = $17.78 CPM.

- In the top 100 newspaper marketings a one third page b/w ad = $22.95 CPM.

- In 23 magazine publications, a four-color, one-page ad = $9.35 CPM.

- In the top 1010 radio markets, a 60-second drive-time ad = $8.61 CPM.

- The average for all forms of billboard ads = $2.18 CPM.

Remember, it's not the product you sell, it's the features and benefits. In this case, you're not selling a vehicle wrap; you're selling 30,000 - 70,000 daily consumer impressions (assuming your customer isn't driving around in the woods). You don't sell advertising; you sell consistent brand exposure, allowing your customer to best represent their identity.

Recap

- Low entry cost for full wrap. Typical cargo van = $3,000 to $4,000.

- Vehicle wrap owners typically get three years or more out of their wrap.

- This breaks down to approximately $83 to $111 per month.

- 30,000 impressions/day = 7.2 mil imp/yr = 21.6 mil imp/3yr = $.0019 per impression (based on 5 day work week, 48 working weeks annually).

- $.0019 is about $.02 per 10 impressions over the course of three years.

Creativity With Recycling

This beautiful creation was created with one of our misprints of canvas. Lisa, from Gorilla Sacks, came by one day to pick up some of our scrap banner, and noticed this misprint of canvas. We suggested that she give the canvas a try, because the image was so beautiful but didn't reach the potential the photographer wanted.

By lining the inside with regular plain canvas, she was able to produce this amazing, fashionable clutch purse.
