Since the beginning of the Covid pandemic, a return to normality has never felt closer than at present. Businesses throughout Ireland are working hard to make up for a year of lost revenue. In a bid to create a competitive advantage, business owners are striving for exposure without breaking the bank. The lack of sit-in dining and high street shopping left us craving a customer experience (and a cold pint of Guinness) that cannot be obtained by online shopping and takeaway services.

While it may be tempting to slash prices to drive greater traffic from these businesses to your services, competing on the merit of offering a personalised solution can be much more effective. It is easy to see the short-term appeal of lower pricing. However, by being creative with design and material choice, a reputation based on long-term customer fulfilment can be built, resulting in a greater return on investment.

And the big benefit… you may have already mastered the skills to fit these films.

But how do you build a cost-effective, customer experience unique to you customer?  

Keeping up with the latest trends can be a labour intensive but rewarding challenge. Consumers are increasingly influenced by the environment surrounding them. Just look at the new, trendy coffee shops opening on every other street!

Manufacturers such as Hexis and Neschen continually invest in research and development to provide bespoke films that enable installers to meet the latest demands. By keeping on top of industry trends, these top brands ensure you have the answers to your customers enquiries.

The print and sign industries are full of creative individuals who can produce high-value graphic solutions. When combined with the latest innovative films, outstanding results can be achieved that will truly leave your customer impressed. Be it a chrome or metallic vinyl that glimmers in the sun light or a cotton-based wallcovering that introduces a tactile element, each material provides an opportunity to excite the target audience.

Why is proving your creativity is important?

Customer demands are forever shifting. Being in the position to cater to all trends is the key to driving traffic to your business. Consumers view adaptability as a sign of great service and being able to meet (if not exceed) their demands is the key basis for building those lasting relationships that all businesses strive for.

Branding is all about creating an image that stands out from the crowd. Whether you are branding a vehicle or an interior environment, bringing a unique concept to your clients’ branding can really catch the eye of consumers.
