Understanding Customers and their Wants

Banner Banter, Significant Signage

Here is an excellent video of Joseph Pine talking at TED about what customers want.  This is a must watch for any business owner and Bargain Banners By JON has been subscribing to this business philosophy since the beginning.

Once upon a time the economy was driven by commodities.  These are things you take out of the ground and sell them.  Then goods followed.  After that the economy shifted towards services.  Finally, customers want an authentic experience.

This is Bargain Banners By JON operates.  When we don’t sell goods or commodities.  We’re selling a customized banner or chloroplast yard sign.  So it’s a service because it’s a custom good.  But we don’t stop there.  We’re selling ourselves and the experience of dealing with us! This is why our reviews are so good and almost always mention our customer service.  People shop with us for the experience of dealing with professionals that create custom goods for them in a timely fashion.

So watch the video and apply it to your business and experience growth and a loyal customer base!

We now offer 4′ tall banners on our online store!

Banner Banter

That’s right, by popular demand we have finally began offering four foot tall vinyl banners on our online store.  Now many might wonder why we didn’t offer them before, the reason is simple, cost!

Our banner store has been designed with keeping prices low and ordering easy!  Four foot tall banners are bigger than most people’s needs.  Now you’ll immediately notice the price is higher than our 2′ and 3′ banners.  This is because our 4′ banners are made with 18 oz material instead of the standard 13 oz. Why do we do this?  Because these banners are heavy duty and built seriously tough!  When banners start getting this size they catch a lot of wind.  So we prefer the 18 oz material to hold up to whatever nature can dish out.

Now keep in mind, there’s nothing wrong with 13 oz material.  It’s actually the de facto standard for banners.  It’s not the cheap 10 oz material or tyvek banners our competition is selling online (at our prices or even higher).  We just prefer the 18 oz for banners this large and haven’t had a problem.  Our customers agree that a small additional cost for the better material produces a banner that holds up and lasts and lasts!

Welcome Home Banners! Great for soldiers or sick loved ones

Banner Banter

Banners aren’t just for advertising for a business. Special occasions can also use banners.  A popular banner we sell is the Welcome Home Banner.  This banners is great for soldiers returning home or sick loved ones coming back from the hospital.  Obviously, we can personalize this banner with their name or anything else you’d like added.

Banners are also great for things like graduation parties, wedding receptions, birthdays, or anything else.  They can be put on the street to help direct traffic to the party, or used at the party.

Real Estate Agents Love Banners and Signs

Banner Banter, Significant Signage

Real estate agents love banners and signs.  They’re perfect for “Home For Sale” or “Open House Today.” Just hang up the banner between two trees or strap it to the garage door.  It will be seen!  Of course, we can customize those banners for you.  Perhaps you’d like your phone number and name on them also.  You don’t have to be a real estate agent for them!  If you’re selling your house privately this is a great way to get your home noticed.

Yard signs are very important.  If you want to look professional, you need professional signage.  Instead of some paint stir sticks and some construction paper at the end of the street, present yourself professionally with a beautiful chloroplast yard sign.  Attractive sign is more effective than something that looks like it was done in 5th grade arts and crafts!  We can supply these too!  Just email us.
