Place it well

Don’t rely on your customers and friends only to place your stickers, place some yourself. For the stickers you go place, try to chose spots that make it unmissable, but don’t look like you are invading the public space either with outdoor stickers for equipment.

Go with die cuts stickers

Die cuts stickers will obviously get much more attention than their square, round, or rectangle boring counterparts. Die cut stickers let you be creative and allow you to create stickers with any shape you want.
