How Interior Graphics Promote A Positive School Environment
/by Magna IVNo matter how old a student is at a school, it is important that the overall environment is a positive one in order to facilitate learning. Interior graphics play a large part in creating a positive school environment by sharing items such as the mission and history of the school along with transforming dull white or gray walls into walls filled with bright visual graphics that inspire students to learn and be proud of their environment. Experiential graphics make students feel valued and confident in their environment since the graphic design services that create and place the graphics have the mission of making students feel inspired to achieve academic success thanks to the positive feelings they get from their school environment.
Cost-Effective Environmental Graphics Forms A Perfect Culture
Back in 2013, the University of Salford conducted a study that showed the environment of a classroom can impact the academic progress of a child by up to 25%. Experiential graphics designers used this information to design interior graphics that inspire students while remaining cost-effective for school budgets:
Graphic Design Services, Printing & Installation For Schools
Schools walk a fine line when it comes to graphic design services as well as the printing and installation of the interior graphics. They have to be bright and colorful enough to get the attention of students and inspire them while also not being distracting in such a way that it negatively impacts the learning process. In addition, experiential graphics need to set the mood to inspire students while not being so “out there” that they embarrass students and make them not want to spend more time than necessary at the school. It is the job of an experienced graphic design services team to create graphics that make the school environment a positive one for students while not being overwhelming to anyone viewing the interior graphics.

How Restaurant Graphics Build Brand Identity
/by Magna IVRestaurant graphics serve multiple purposes for new and established restaurants. They grab the attention of customers and serve as a visual representation of the business for customers. Restaurant signs also brand a business by letting customers know what they can expect when they enter the restaurant. Restaurant graphics are not limited to signs on the outside of the building. Restaurant graphics can be on menus, pop-up displays, and point of purchase signage and even in multi-channel marketing materials like direct mail, email marketing, mobile apps, and personalized URLs. No matter where the restaurant graphics are located, they build brand identity through the repetition of customers viewing the graphics on a regular basis and reminding customers what the restaurant offers them on a daily basis.
Powerful Restaurant Signs & Graphics
Restaurant signs and restaurant graphics can include a powerful variety of items such as:
All of the restaurant signs and graphics listed above brand a restaurant thanks to their eye-catching content and the information they deliver to customers as part of the marketing message of the restaurant. Restaurant signs give customers a better idea of what they can expect when they enter a restaurant. Once customers enter the building, the restaurant graphics placed throughout the building reinforce the branding message.
Multi-Channel Marketing Connects With Customers

Why Visual Merchandising Is Critical For Retail Stores
/by Magna IVVisual merchandising is critical for retail stores because retail display printing engages shoppers and inspires them to buy products. Visual merchandising is a retail display printing strategy that maximizes the aesthetics of a retail product with the intent of increasing foot traffic and sales. Visual merchandising brands retail products by encouraging customers to learn more about the product which also leads to increased sales. When considering visual merchandising tips for retail stores, the single most important purpose of the display is to draw consumers into the store in order to close a sale. The ultimate success of custom-made retail display printing that spotlights products greatly depends on the overall aesthetic quality of the display.
Visual Merchandising Tips
Keep these visual merchandising tips in mind when creating a visual merchandising display:
Professional Retail Display Printing
Professional retail display printing is not a “one size fits all” service. Visual merchandising requires custom-made displays that are created with the customer in mind while also promoting the products the business is hoping customers will buy while in the store. Retail display printing needs to be easy to understand, as well as easy to see, whether the customer is standing across the room or is right in front of the display. Easy to understand displays that have the product on hand for customers to purchase make a powerful impact on sales and increase overall profits for retail stores.

How Variable Data Printing Boosts Direct Mail Results
/by Magna IVOne way to make sure your direct mail campaign is ignored is by addressing the printed piece to “Dear Homeowner” or “A Special Offer For Our Friends”. Personalized direct mail makes more of an impression than a generic greeting in the mailbox. Variable data printing gives you the opportunity to address your direct mail printing project to thousands of people while still making it look personal by allowing you to include the actual name of a person on each individual piece of direct mail. By personalizing each individual piece, variable data printing gives you the ability to speak directly to the recipient of the mailing as well as make the person feel like you are speaking directly to them rather than being part of a generic mass mailing.
Personalized Direct Mail Tips:

Striking Interior Graphics for the U of A
/by Magna IVOur state’s flagship educational institution, the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, is constantly devising new ways to market its student initiatives and events. For years now, Magna IV has partnered with the U of A to produce high-quality printed collateral for its academic departments, athletic programs and recruitment efforts. So when the university decided to open a Sam M. Walton College of Business satellite facility, it was a no brainer to turn to its trusted partner Magna IV for help with interior graphics.
Window Cling To Enhance Visual Appearance
The university was initially stumped about what to do with its new space on Main Street in downtown Little Rock and its oversized interior glass wall. It knew it wanted some type of window cling to give the building an enhanced visual appeal. However, it also needed a product that would allow students and passersby to see into the space from the street, both day and night.
Vinyl Window Graphic
The Magna IV team immediately went to work, overseeing the project from start to finish. It used its wide-format printing equipment to create a transparent vinyl window graphic 50-feet-wide by 10-feet-tall image of the downtown Little Rock skyline. It printed the image on clear vinyl, a cost-effective and durable material, to help prevent wear-and-tear and damage from cleanings. Its in-house experts then cut and placed the window cling to ensure a seamless installation. Once complete, the U of A was able to settle into its new space and focus on its mission at hand—attracting and educating the next generation of our state’s business leaders.

Why Retail Graphics Are Crucial For Visual Merchandising
/by Magna IVRetail graphics elevate the look of a merchandising display and also set the tone of your store. Retail displays showcase products and let customers know what to expect when shopping at a business. Displays at retail stores should not be thrown together at the last minute. Making proper use of the available space can help you group products and create a theme that retail printing services can enhance in the minds of consumers. Too many patterns and clashing colors distract customers because they don’t have a focal point that guides the eyes to certain products. Create a visual presentation that clearly delivers the point you want to make about a product or a promotion. Once the sale or promotion has ended, update your retail graphics to keep customers engaged and interested in your newest spotlighted product.

Four Powerful Benefits to Using Point of Purchase Displays
/by Magna IVSalespeople are seen as the front line of sales in a retail business. While they are an important part of informing customers about the products and services offered, convenience store graphics actually greet customers first and can be seen as a silent salesperson. Point of Purchase (POP) Displays grab the attention of customers and create interest in the products available for purchase. Once the consumer enters the store, floor graphics continue to influence customer buying decisions by leading a person directly to the products or specials businesses want to spotlight in the store. Even though the graphics are directing customers to certain products or sections of the store, the consumers do not feel pressured to make a purchase by an actual salesperson since they are subtly being influenced by graphics and point of purchase displays.
Point of Purchase Display Benefits
Point of purchase displays offer multiple benefits to businesses:
Floor Graphics Are Walking Opportunities
As customers walk through the store, take advantage of this marketing opportunity to increase sales. The cost of producing floor graphics to promote a product or company is much smaller in comparison to a traditional billboard. point of purchase displays and graphics placed on the floor have the flexibility to be an inexpensive short-term signage solution as well as durable enough to be a long-lasting branding tool. Floor graphics are noticed by customers because they pay attention to where they are walking in addition to naturally looking down to view what is on the floor in front of them. Making customers focus their attention downward to the floor narrows their attention to the floor graphics at their feet. This allows the content to have more of an impact and influence the buying decision of consumers.
