This is my advertisement for retail store fronts. It's a 7x7 sticker that will be on a display which holds individual Sprinkler Buddies. See anything missing that I should add to it?

If there is some other area on the display for the price to be displayed, I would leave it as it is, otherwise I would shrink the flag and add white space for a bold price.

I would add more contact information, e-mail, phone numbers, fax. Possibly switch the install picture with the middle bottom one (where it's installed, the other picture mostly shows a hand), thus creating room in the middle bottom section for the "contact us" information. But that's just me.

p.s. adding price in that section is also a good idea.

Thanks for the input, here's a little different look with some added info. that was suggested. I really appreciate you guys taking the time and sharing your thoughts.

I like the edits that you made.

Are these lawn mower safe? You know you cut the grass and don't want to get this stuck in the blade.

Perhaps put on there "won't interfear with mowing the lawn"

Of course you can explain this when people contact you for more information. Great Job so far.

I think it is complete......I like short and to the point...
But...agree with Snake about the mower...

Thanks Jim, I to agreed with Snake but I needed another vote to override the Wife. Here are a few more changes. I think it's complete now. lol

Thanks again for the feed back guys.

Much better and I hope the wife isn't looking over your shoulders right now. lol

She's too busy getting ready for our company today. lol I need to go fire up the grill before she's over my shoulder with a bat. lol

In the new version, the attention is focused on the product as it should be. Nice job

I can't leave well enough alone. lol

I made the photos a tad smaller but in doing so, it's a sharper image. I also increased the font size above them.

**snakeair** · #12 (**permalink**) 04-09-2012, 03:40 PM

I don't see any difference but it still looks good. lol

This info. is for my brick & mortar retailers. They all purchase from me at the same price. What they charge for my product in their own store fronts is up to them. I do share with them my MSRP.

I don't feel it's fair to tell retailers, they have to sell for X. Most have stuck with my MSRP, some charge their customers a little more.

I'm just happy they carry Sprinkler Buddy because that helps get my product known. Getting a product on any store shelf is tough.

Had a little time so I mixed your image up, what do you think of this more colorful version?

Not bad! I'll show the boss tonight. lol

Thanks!

I see thanks anyway

Sprinkler Buddy · #18 (**permalink**) 04-10-2012, 01:58 PM

I have taken all the great ideas & came up with this. I think it's a 100% better than what I started with thanks to all of you.

Thank you All!

I went and tested my label at Lowe's today. Folks weren't understanding what my product was or how to use it without explaining it a little. Then you would see the light bulb go off. lol

So I made a few more changes and I'll test it again before printing the sticker label. What do you guys think of the red, white, and blue arrows? To Much?

pingpipe · #20 (**permalink**) 04-11-2012, 03:34 PM

I find the red, white, and blue arrows are un-necessary, and kind of clutter the overall image. The only suggestion I can think of is maybe putting your url at the top, between the white and yellow lines of texts, and putting a 1-800 contact number where you have the url now. (or visa-versa)
