Do people still print bumper stickers and car vinyl stickers? Yes, popular since the 1930s, vinyl and bumper sticker printing are still hot items even though we have gone from the 20th to the 21st century! People still want to let others know what they believe in, or use for safety purposes. “Baby on board” for example. Political custom vinyl bumper stickers are still in fashion, as well as fans supporting their favorite sports teams, whether they be little league or major-league.
So what is it about custom bumper stickers that makes it popular still, after all of these years?
As advertising, it’s still amazing what a well-designed bumper sticker can do for a small or large business, considering that it will be seen all around the nation. They are like walking signage for outdoor use.
The answer lies in the cost versus benefit. Custom bumper stickers can be seen as mobile advertising. As a car, truck or van travels around, messages can be seen by hundreds, thousands, or even millions of people. This makes the cost of bumper stickers negligible when considering the enormous benefit of “getting the message out there”.
