Signs That Sell: Helping Small Businesses Get Seen with Affordable Signage

Every small business wants to be seen – especially during the holidays when every window, booth, and checkout counter is shouting for attention. That’s where you come in. As a print reseller, you’re not just selling signs – you’re selling visibility, confidence, and momentum.

Let’s talk about how you can help your clients grab the spotlight with signage that sells – and how Navitor can help you turn short-term buzz into long-term revenue.

Visibility Wins (Especially During the Holidays)

The holidays bring crowds – in stores, pop-ups, and events. That means more eyes, more potential customers, and more need for clear, compelling visuals. Your clients need signage that helps shoppers find what they’re looking for (and what they didn’t know they needed).

Here’s where you can guide them:

Think of these as silent salespeople. Affordable, versatile, and easy to swap out after the season. They help small businesses keep their look fresh all year round.

Turn Branding into an Experience

Great signage doesn’t just inform, it tells a story. Help your clients to think beyond the front door:

  • Banners and A-Frame boards that tell shoppers what’s happening before they even step inside.
  • Table tents that start conversations in cafes, lobbies, and event booths.
  • Foam board and PVC signs that deliver a bold, professional presence without the heavy price tag.

These simple, cost-effective pieces give small businesses that big-brand feel without the big-brand budget. And they’re easy to print, ship, and bundle into profit-building packages (think: banner + window decal + floor sticker bundle).

Make Every Season Sign Season

Sure, the holidays are prime time for signage. But don’t stop there. Every month brings a new reason for small businesses to promote something. Think: New Year’s promotions, spring reopenings, summer events, fall festivals, back-to-school specials… and beyond.

Encourage clients to plan ahead with signage that keeps their marketing fresh all year:

When you help clients think beyond the holidays, you move from “printer” to partner.

 

4 Smart Selling Strategies for Resellers

Here’s how to turn your signage know-how into stronger sales and happier customers:

  1. Start with goals, not products. Ask what success looks like. More foot traffic? More sales? Broader awareness? Then match the right mix of signage.
  2. Bundle up. Offer ready-made kits like “Retail Refresh” or “Holiday Pop-Up” bundles that make buying easy and value obvious.
  3. Talk ROI. Remind them: a few smartly placed signs can drive real revenue.
  4. Show, don’t tell. Samples close deals. Navitor’s wide signage lineup gives you the visual proof to win trust – and repeat orders.

Stick With What Sells: Creative Label Ideas for Any Business

Labels are one of the most versatile print products in your reseller toolkit. They stick (literally) with customers, travel far beyond the point of sale, and create lasting impressions. The best part? They can be simple to sell once you show your clients just how many ways labels can work for them.

Here are fresh ideas you can share with your customers to inspire their next label project:

Spark Ideas for Everyday Branding

  • Products and packaging – From jars to boxes to bags, custom labels instantly turn everyday containers into branded merchandise.
  • Events and promotions – Short-run labels are perfect for highlighting seasonal specials, grand openings, or anniversaries.
  • Giveaways that travel – Bumper stickers, decals, and sticker sheets make easy swag for parades, community events, or tradeshows.

Show Off with Creative Applications

  • Hydrate and advertise – Hand out branded water bottles with custom labels at events, keeping the company’s name in every hand.
  • Multi-location marketing – Variable content printing allows one order to highlight different storefronts, regional contact info, or localized promotions.
  • Smart labels – Add QR codes or barcodes that link to special offers, websites, or campaign landing pages to track response.\

Pro Tips for Resellers

  • Pitch the low lift – Labels are cost-effective, quick to produce, and easy to update, making them an easy “yes” for busy buyers.
  • Upsell seasonal spins – Encourage clients to refresh labels for holidays, seasonal promotions, or limited editions.
  • Bundle with print campaigns – Labels pair perfectly with packaging, direct mail, or event signage for a cohesive brand presence.
