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 ...
Printing Posters
Poster printing is making a resurgence, and we think it has something to do with the hipster movement. You know, “what’s old is new…” “I don’t conform to new ideas of marketing…” that sort of thing. But you don’t have to sport ironic eyewear, tote a Transformers lunch box to work, or walk around with a calculatedly greasy hairdo in order to use posters to promote your business, band, initiative, or even to sell as a souvenir item. Here’s the rundown on posters – the sizes we offer at Elite Flyers, the ...
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 ...

Multi-Purpose Flyers Work As Coasters, Bookmarks, and More
In this age when hipsters alter their own clothes, hip hoppers order one-of-a-kind custom Nike Air Force 1 shoes, and Starbucks offers at least 87,000 unique beverage combinations to its caffeinated clientele, consumers are just not content with the “one size fits all” approach to anything. That’s why Elite Flyers offers 17 different size flyers, printed on either 14 or 16pt card stock.
The various flyer sizes open up a lot of creative uses for our custom printed flyers. But just in case you don’t have time ...
New Gig? Make It Legit with a New Business Card.
Even for the most confident among us, starting new ventures can be nerve-wracking. Simply sitting back and dreaming of the day you become a small business owner, a writer, a working artist, an educator, a spiritual guide, or a philanthropist may seem like torture, but at the same time, there’s something comforting and safe about simply wishing for something to happen while doing nothing about it.
When you officially start something new, you take a risk. You are telling the world, “Hey, I think I might be ...

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 ...

Would you like to give your business a more personable, relatable image?
Is anything exciting or new happening at your company?
Do you interact with related businesses and individuals as part of your ...
Give a Great “Elevator Pitch” to Go with Your Business Card
“Concise.” It’s arguably one of the greatest words in the English language. Its definition is “expressing or covering much in few words.” That’s a beautiful thing.
And it’s what you should strive for when you make the elevator pitch that should accompany your handing out your business card. An elevator pitch should take no longer than an elevator ride – somewhere around 30 seconds. That’s all you should need in order to tell an interested party what it is that you do, and why you’re great at it. Whew! Here’s ...
