Are you an online shop owner? Here are a couple of situations in which you might want to use custom sticker printing services.

They want to offer a freebie to their loyal customers  

Most online shop owners understand how valuable it can be to express their appreciation for their returning customers. One easy way that shop owners can do this is by adding a freebie to the purchases their returning customers make. Custom stickers are a wonderful freebie for online shop owners to offer; they're very affordable for them to have printed, lightweight enough that they won't make the parcels they send to their customers too heavy (and, therefore, costlier to post), but are still a pleasant and very welcome surprise for any customer who receives them.

If the stickers are custom ones that are professionally printed, most customers will perceive them to be of value, in spite of the stickers being affordable for the shop owner to have produced. This perceived value will not only be due to the custom designs, that will make the stickers feel more rare and special, but also because of the quality of the materials the print shop will print them on, as well as the clarity and vividness of the printed images.

Online shop owners who want to offer stickers as freebies should not only put effort into the design of these stickers (and potentially hire a graphic designer if they don't have these skills) but, if they're budget-conscious, should also consult with the print shop before they finalise their designs. The reason for this is that if they come up with highly intricate and colourful sticker designs, these might be a bit more expensive to print than simpler, monochromatic stickers.

They need a low-cost way to market their business

Whilst brick-and-mortar shops can often rely on passers-by to randomly find their shops and buy things from them, online shop owners who can't depend on this usually need to put more work into drawing people to their shops. One way that they can market their businesses without overspending is by using a custom sticker printing service. If they come up with sticker designs that interweave their shop name or its logo with a clever and visually appealing design, and then give the printed stickers to their customers, this could help them to make their shop more well-known.

The reason for this is that if a person receives some nicely-designed stickers, they'll be inclined to put them on some of their personal possessions, which may then be seen or handled by lots of people in their life. If for example, they use the branded stickers to decorate their bicycle helmet, many of the dozens of people they pass by on their cycling journeys will catch a glimpse of their helmet's stickers and the logo or shop name that's on them.

Professionally-printed custom stickers are a particularly good choice for marketing, as high-quality stickers appeal to a wide range of people, from many demographics, and can be used to decorate dozens of objects, including laptops, books, phone cases, helmets, mirrors, windows and walls. As such, as long as the shop owner ensures that the stickers are printed by a reputable print shop (so that they are high quality). There is a good chance that the majority of those who receive these stickers will utilise them (and thus assist the shop owner in marketing their enterprise).
