Wrist Band Printing
Elite Flyers is based in Miami, a known party city that has a disproportionately high need for wristbands. Many of the hottest clubs and festivals on the scene utilize custom-printed wristbands as a means of identifying people who have paid an entry fee – or people who have reached the legal drinking age – and people who haven’t. We’ve helped countless businesses make use of this simple tool, and we’ve learned a few things about successful wristband printing and use, and we’re going to share this useful ...
Top 5 Reasons People Respond to Door Hangers
We would be liars if we tried to pretend we’d never been annoyed to come home to find that some local business had hung a door hanger advertisement on our door knob while we were out. Like finding a nightclub flyer under your windshield wipers or a mass mailer in your mailbox, sometimes these in-your-face advertisements seem intrusive and bothersome. But the fact is that despite these resentments, many customers still respond to custom-printed door hangers. Below, we outline the reasons they’re willing to act ...
Boost Morale with Balloons
We recently attended a large-scale family affair – a baby shower that doubled as an extended family reunion – where we had a firsthand opportunity to witness the powerful effect that balloons can have on an environment and the people who populate it. The green and open yard went from a pleasant, yet otherwise nondescript space, to a soft, magical fantasyland in a matter of moments as we brought the pink and silver balloons into the space. We tied them to tables, strung them around the tent poles, and let them ...
Print Booklets for Fun and Profit
Creative people have a great outlet for expression in custom printed booklets. Citizen journalists, creative writers, visual artists, and experts wishing to share their unique knowledge can all make use of booklets for personal or profitable endeavors.
Elite Flyers’ booklets come in two sizes – 8.5”x11”, or full-page size, and 5.5”x8” half-page size. You can choose a page count from 8 to 32, in increments of four, for either size. The print stock is also customizable. One hundred-pound dull book stock is a ...
Brand Yourself Loud and Clear at Your Next Tradeshow
Trade shows, conventions, and fairs are veritable zoos of presenters, vendors, information, and consumers, it’s easy to get lost in the crowd. We’ve experienced this scenario too many times; we’re walking around the convention grounds, eyeing all the tents, stopping in when we see a sign that strikes our fancy. Then we come across the mystery tent. They don’t have a banner and they don’t have a sign. We have no idea what their purpose is. They may be selling something we love or offering a service we’d like to ...
Networking Opportunities in Your Hometown
Seeing as we’re in the business card business, we often have conversations with customers about how their companies are doing. We’re always happy to hear about ventures that are flourishing, but we always pay special attention when clients are having trouble as well. One common complaint goes something like this:
“We’ve got such a great service in place. I just wish we could reach more of the right people.”
Businesses often try to do this by directly sending out emails or social networking communications ...
Create Unity with Custom Printed Collaterals for the Workplace
It's hard to deny that the average workplace – and the world – has gotten more casual these days. Dress-down Fridays seem to have bled into the rest of the work week; whereas a three-piece suit was the common uniform for most desk jockeys 30 years ago, today a typical workaday guy would probably be exceeding dress code standards by pulling on a polo shirt and khaki pants. These kinds of casual clothes are certainly more comfortable than the stuffy suits of yesteryear, and it would be plausible to argue that ...
How to Give a Great Speech in 3 Easy Steps
There are many things the average person would rather do than write and/or perform a speech. Among them might be activities like holding onto an electric fence while standing in a puddle and wearing copper shoes, and receiving root canal surgery without anesthesia in front of an audience consisting of all the pretty girls in your high school class. But sometimes in life, we have no choice. People get married and have the nerve to ask us to be the best men or bridesmaids… and speak publicly at their weddings. ...

So what colors should you incorporate in your designs? Well, it depends on your intention. Let’s take a look at some common colors and the messages they send to your potential audience.

Developing a Successful Business Card Speech
If you want people to actually act on your card, you’re going to have to talk to them while you give it out. Yes, this applies even if you have a gorgeous foil-stamped card or a thought-provoking see-thru plastic card.
We know. Giving a speech is typically a stressful event for everyone. Self-promotion is also often uncomfortable for many people. So business card speeches, which combine the two, can be even more of a challenge. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Use our handy tips to simplify the process of ...
How to Get Results with Brochures
Brochures, when used well, can be worth their weight in gold as a marketing tool. They’re a fully portable means of conveying useful information to your clients, and as an added benefit, they can change hands several times before their shelf life is over. However, brochure design is not something you should just “wing.” Here are several tips to keep in mind to ensure that your brochure is as effective and professional as possible.
