Patriotic Wraps Fitting for Labor Day Weekend at the Lake!

Labor Day Weekend is upon us and we're ready to celebrate Lake of the Ozarks style!  Many of the waterfront bars will have live music and of course you'll be able to see some fireworks while you're here.  Here's some history and lake events to read while you take a look at some of ProDezigns' patriotic wraps fitting for Labor Day!

What is Labor Day? 


Labor Day is celebrated on the first Monday in September each year.  The holiday pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century.  Oregon first established Labor Day as a state holiday in 1887, with several more states to follow before it became a federal holiday in 1894. Labor Day also symbolizes the end of Summer for many Americans and is celebrated with parties, parades, festivities and more!


Labor Day at the Lake 


The Lake of the Ozarks' last big weekend for vacationers is Labor Day Weekend.  Each year the area is hopping with people here to partake in the festivities.  Each waterfront bar will be rocking with live music and be sure to check out the fireworks too!

Brand Your Entire Fleet with Our Custom Vehicle Wraps!

Here at ProDezigns, we don't just decorate your vehicle, we brand it with your business!  Our custom vehicle wraps at the Lake of the Ozarks, Jefferson City and Columbia are marketing tools that you can take with you everywhere you go.  If you have a fleet of vehicles, we can design a custom graphic to brand those vehicles and keep your marketing message consistent. Check out these Taxi Terry's vehicle wraps in Columbia, MO that we created for their fleet!

We have done a total of 8 vehicles recently for Taxi Terry's in Columbia, MO.  They are all different color vehicles from the factory; however, with a full wrap, they were able to brand the whole fleet to look the same! They were also able to protect their investment.  At the time they take them out of service, the paint under the wrap will still look like new and make the resale value higher.  Plus they won't be selling a yellow car that everyone knows as a taxi!

At Pro Dezigns we strive to give our clients the highest level of service, satisfaction and personal attention to detail with every project we do. From concept to completion our award winning designers work closely with you to create a HIGH-IMPACT, custom promotional solution that best suits your individual marketing needs.  Our custom vehicle wraps in Jefferson City, Columbia and Lake of the Ozarks make your business capital mobile!  Give us a call today at 573-392-0500 to get started on your graphics at Missouri's BEST wrap shop!

If you can drive it, ride it, pull it, fly it, or lift it, we can wrap it!

Using Demographics to Design Your Marketing Message

When it comes to creating a vehicle wrap at the Lake of the Ozarks, each client is different.  Each product or service can appeal to a different demographic. Demographics is the study of the traits of different groups for the purpose of targeting marketing messages.  These groups can include different races, political beliefs, age groups and more. Understanding your customer demographics will allow you to tailor your marketing to appeal to those customers.

Identify Your Target Market


Before designing your vehicle wrap in Jefferson City, Columbia or the Lake area, think about your target market.  Your product or service may have been designed with a particular demographic in mind or after some initial research you found that it appeals to a certain group more than others.  By gathering information about who is currently buying your product or service, you can attract similar customers in the future.

Create Your Message 


Different demographic groups respond to different types of messages, whether it be words or Missouri custom graphics.  If your product or service appeals to a specific group, it might be a good idea to run your ideas by them.  Be sure to avoid social and cultural stereotypes.  Being knowledgeable about your target demographic enables you to create an effective and appealing marketing message.  Our experienced staff here at ProDezigns is here to help you through this design process.

Beware of Limitations


Using demographics to help in your Lake of the Ozarks marketing can be an advantage, however it does have its limitations.  If you're selling a product with a potentially broad appeal, but limit your marketing message to attract a certain demographic, you may be losing out on those customers.  For example, if you use rap music to appeal to young adults, you many risk losing the business of older customers who stereotype rap music as violent and angry. Try to find a balance; what works for you, won't work for everyone.

At Pro Dezigns we strive to give our clients the highest level of service, satisfaction and personal attention to detail with every project we do. From concept to completion our award winning designers work closely with you to create a HIGH-IMPACT, custom promotional solution that best suits your individual marketing needs.  Imagine all the people you could reach with a custom vehicle wrap in Columbia, Jefferson City or Lake of the Ozarks!
