Beyond Branding with Perforated Window Vinyl

Window Graphics Legacy Nissan

Legacy Nissan in London, Ky., has been effectively branding itself with larger-than-life brand murals applied to both its exterior-facing and interior windows.

Mobile Advertising with LexJet Perforated Window VinylThough it continues to emphasize the Nissan brand, Legacy Nissan is also emphasizing specific services and promotions that help set it apart from other dealerships using LexJet Aqueous Perforated Vinyl (70/30) printed with an Epson Stylus Pro 9900.

Pictured here is Legacy Nissan’s most recent campaign, highlighting the fact that its salespeople aren’t driven by commission using a simple, direct approach: No Sales Commission. How Refreshing.

Vehicle Window GraphicsThis is the message now front and center across its storefront windows, and displayed on the road with perforated window vinyl applied to the windows of the Sentra the dealership uses for official business around town.

Tied into other marketing media, like social media and printed collateral, the new campaign is already paying dividends, says Legacy Nissan’s Missy Reid.

“Signage is an important part of our marketing campaigns, so in addition to using the window vinyl we’re also printing banners with LexJet TOUGHcoat Blockout Scrim Banner,” explains Reid. “We’re doing some shorter-term campaigns now and these are very effective methods to get the word out, particularly when you combine the big graphics on the window with supporting graphics inside the showroom, and the mobile advertising.”

Reaching the Finish Line with Inkjet Printed Graphics

Special Event Graphics

Revolution3 Triathlon (REV3) is a growing, dynamic series of 12 triathlons and adventure races held across the United States. REV3 started about five years ago in Connecticut and continues to add new races every year from Florida to Portland, Ore.

Triathlon GraphicsMost of the races are Olympic-REV half-REV triathlons, with one full-REV (2.4-mile swim, 26-mile run, 100-mile bike) and an adventure race. More styles of events are on tap for 2013 and beyond, such as family fun runs and glow runs before the big events. The events also support various charities, including Run Across America, Ulman Cancer Fund, Team RWB and Multisport Ministries.

REV3 collaborated with KRT Architectural Signage, Warrenton, Va., to build a superstructure at the finish line for all of its events. REV3 art director Jay Bussiere created the concept and KRT built the structure, including a built-in LED timer.

Bussiere also worked with his LexJet customer specialist, Jaimie Mask, to bring not only the finish line structure graphics to life, but the banners and other signage as well.

A Frame Graphics
The A-Frames along the route are printed on LexJet TOUGHcoat AquaVinyl PSA.

“We recently purchased a new Canon iPF9400 wide-format inkjet printer. I did a search for vendors online and found LexJet’s website,” says Bussiere. “It was impressive the way I could narrow down my search and find what I needed easily. LexJet’s site is intuitive, and I appreciate that, being a web designer as well as an online customer. Then, Jaimie gave me some recommendations on inkjet materials for use outdoors.”

Given the type of printer Bussiere purchased, Mask recommended LexJet Extreme AquaVinyl w/ PSA and LexJet TOUGHcoat AquaVinyl PSA for the structure. Bussiere protected the graphics with LexJet Performance Gloss Vinyl Laminate (3 Mil).

He also used LexJet TOUGHcoat Blockout Scrim Banner, LexJet TOUGHcoat ThriftyBanner, LexJet 11 Mil Blockout PolyGloss and LexJet TOUGHcoat Water-Resistant Polypropylene for various event signage.

The structure and the signs will travel from event to event. The photo here shows the finish line from a triathlon in Knoxville, Tenn. “The finish line structure is quite massive; you really can’t miss it,” says Bussiere. “And, with quality materials from LexJet, matched with custom REV3 graphics, the finish line and expo area become a beacon for athletes and passersby alike.”
