Team USA Olympic Uniforms – Sustainability and Citizenship

When it comes to sustainability and green-minded culture; Vizi takes it’s environmental profile very seriously. Some of our eco-friendly contributions include Electric Vehicle Chargers, renewable vegetable-based inks and toners, our use of biodegradable materials, and our passionate recycling habits. We pride ourselves on the constant improvement of quality and design while maintaining ecologically-sound practices within our facility.

What does sustainability have to do with the USA Olympic team you may ask? As we all know, this past year did not quite go as smoothly as we all hoped. However, when creating Team USA’s Olympic Uniforms designer Ralph Lauren took his “Design The Change” stance sincerely. His artistry uses the USA’s Olympic Uniforms as a vehicle to create timeless style, minimize environmental impact, and to support ambassadors of social change.

The olympic games has a unique way of bringing cultures and communities together from around the globe. In a recent article for the Denver post Ralph Lauren speaks more on the impact of the uniform.

“We want our athletes to really be ambassadors for American style, culture and sportsmanship,” Lauren said recently via Zoom from Manhattan. “We also understood that the message for the Olympics was about sustainability, that this would be the most sustainable Olympics in history and a chance for the team to showcase ingenuity around new ways of thinking about our environment.”

Catalog Comeback?

In recent years it seems retailers have stepped away from the traditional print catalog and began relying on digital efforts. The digital marketplace is now over-saturated and consumers are wary of the way advertisers are finding them. More so, due to the national pandemic, the lack of live sports and new TV content leaves very small viewership opportunities for TV advertising.

So if television and online advertising isn’t working how do you attract and retain customers? How do you break through the noise to capture their attention? To acquire sales, you must drive customers to your point of sale. That could be a brick and mortar location, or an online only e-commerce site, but without traffic, you don’t have revenue.

Re-enter the print catalog. Easy to mail by itself, with orders, or handout on location. It’s an opportunity to distinguish your brand, showcase a wide picture of your products and services, and serves as a marketing tool that consumers can hang on to. Maybe they don’t need your offerings at that moment, but they can dog ear pages and visit your store or website when the mood strikes.

Marketers – is it possible to make your job easier?

Delegate. Streamline. Economize. When it comes to marketing plans, these are words tossed around by management in an effort to make their employees more efficient. For those on the front line, in charge of executing the strategies and sourcing partners to carryout the vision, this can be a tall order. You are already in charge of all the moving parts, staying on time and under budget – do you really want to relinquish control to multiple vendors who may or (more likely) may not share your vision.

Is there a way to avoid this? You need to enlist someone to handle print and delivery of your new sales materials, you need someone to create all of your signage for multiple upcoming trade shows, someone to provide new branded polo shirts and hats to your entire sales and service team and promotional items to give away to prospects. You need to create a postcard invitation series that allows guests to RSVP and learn about your services on your website. And this is only about half of your list.

Enter Vizi – a true visual marketing powerhouse. We take the job of getting our clients’ brands seen to the extreme. With services covering all aspects of print, mail, promo and graphic design, we have the resources to meet your customers wherever they are, and make sure your message is heard. Our full service approach comes from a need we see everyday – to simplify our clients’ lives and take as many tasks as we can off their plate.

When you bring Vizi on board, the days of coordinating multiple vendors and schedules disappears. Not only do we have the tools and resources to cover all of our clients print marketing needs, we have perfected the art of customer service. You bring us your goals and ideas and we make it happen – every last detail.  Your priorities become our priorities so you can cross them off your list. Consider us your easy button. And, we promise to make you look good in the process.

Nostalgia for Hotel Guests Through Print

The beautiful Notary Hotel in Philadelphia understands the importance of nostalgia. Before the age of constant, instant communication, families had to send each other written word to keep in touch. The hotel tapped into that old fashioned charm to create a unique experience for their guests.

Take a look at this fantastic “love note” station the hotel setup in their lobby for the holiday season. Guests have access to beautifully printed postcards to write a note to family or friends. Incorporated into the station is a brief description that directs guests to the front desk for a free postage stamp. Yep, free!

Now this is smart marketing. Not only are they engaging their current guests, they have created a branding opportunity for every person who receives a postcard. Print is still one of the most effective ways to ensure your brand will BE SEEN.

This was a really fun project to be a part of and we just love how it all turned out. Give us a shout and we’ll work together to put print to work for your brand.

Get your customers to stop and smell the coffee.

What to do when you really want to get your customers attention? Start by designing a super clever direct mail piece (statistics show direct mail has a much higher ROI than digital efforts) and include a scented coating to make it instantly appealing. Not only is it creative, but it’s interactive and fun. The impact of your marketing message runs much deeper with a tactile experience such as this scratch and sniff device.

This coffee scented ink was custom made for this project and applied through a separate run on our Heidelberg CD-74 perfecting offset press. After printing, they were addressed and sent off to the post office for mailing.

We are certain these were a hit on delivery day. We can only imagine how good the mail trucks must have smelled! We’d love to hear what scents you think would get your customers attention.
