Banners:
Whether the banner is placed outside the store or in a fair, the owner can rest assured that people who come in after viewing it are certainly potential customers. Hence, the owner is not wasting resource or time in reaching out to people that might not be interested. Although there are various other promotional mediums that can hit the target audience, placing banners can ensure the owner is attracting people he/she wishes to attract.
LCD displays:

These posters can be used to display products, data or services that are for sale, providing consumers additional data and information.
Window graphics:
Window decals are available in a variety of sizes and shapes. They are suitable for a custom-designed logo - such as cartoon characters symbolizing the business. Window decals can be deep, transparent or with colored backing. They can be in a geometric shape, or can be customized as per the liking of the user.
Illuminated signs:
There are a variety of illuminated signs available for different purposes. They can be simple open signs, illuminated boards, and scrolling message signs that can be marked on with a fluorescent marker pen, consequently conveying any message that the business owner may care to put across.
Magnetic Signs:
Magnetic signs are normally used on automobiles, pickup trucks, and trucks. They are thick and made with easily removable, good quality material. Marketing signs are the best way to advertise a business that uses a fleet of cars/vans. Even though majority of people find such advertising convenient, it is important to note that these signs must be removed in a few days to prevent metal under the car paint from corrosion as such signs tend to trap moisture underneath.
In the end, the marketing techniques owners use must speak to their intended audience in such a manner that is memorable and meaningful. Understanding the inclination and interests of customers can help a business in tailoring its holiday messages so that they appeal to people from all walks of life and win their loyalty.
