Promote your Holiday Specials with PosterBrain

Everyone loves the holidays! Even old Ebeneezer Scrooge and the Grinch came around. The hustle and bustle, the sounds the smells, and of course – the decorations. And what better way to decorate your store this season than with poster from PosterBrain?

Don’t get us wrong, ornaments and mistletoe are good and all, but if you have a holiday message you’d like to share with your customers, your blow up Santa probably won’t get the message across as well.

Take these lovely companies for example:

XmasPoster1

XmasPoster2

Edible Arrangements is advertising 10% any arrangement during the holiday season. “Duh,” you say “you didn’t have to tell me that – it’s written right on these awesome posters” Exactly.

And, as “Santa’s helpers,” we know for a fact that the best gift anyone could leave for Santa is popcorn. Hands-down. Thanks for making our mouths water, Pittsburgh Popcorn.

We know your store is busy around the holidays, and that’s why we make our poster printing waaaay easier than hanging Christmas lights.

and, as the Grinch said as he “left nothing but hooks, and some wire” on the walls of all Whoville, “Christmas just isn’t Christmas without the walls decorated with posters from PosterBrain*”

* the Grinch never actually said this, but then again, he was around in the 1950s – long before PosterBrain. If he was here today, there’s no question he’d add that line in.

Halloween Costume Contest

Like any self-respecting company, we at PosterBrain love us a good Halloween Costume Contest! This year, we asked YOU for your submissions on Facebook for a chance to win a free poster.

With a record-breaking 15 participants, the entries were Good & Plenty….excuse our corny candy jokes (or should we say Candy Corny…oh man, this post is already taking a turn for the worst.)

From insanely darling to brilliantly clever to just plain hilarious, here’s what we got to feast our eyes on last week:

And the winner of our contest was Marti, with a ridiculously adorable picture of little Dorothy, pondering the greater meaning of life and candy on the yellow brick road.

Congrats, Marti and thanks to everyone for playing along with us!

Short and sweet, you truly ROCK

Firefighter Retirement Gift Poster

Ladder__3

We love seeing gift orders come through because we know they are from the heart. Like this one from Nancy from Philadelphia, who blew up a bunch of firetruck photos to give as a retirement gift to her husband (Samuel Rosario Sr.) who has been a firefighter for 25 years with IAFF Local 22 Philadelphia… “This way he will always have these beautiful pictures of his firetrucks.” For what he will do after he retires, “well his ‘honey to do list’ is pretty long”

What a COOL gift Nancy! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be a part of it.

Inspired in part by Nancy, and to make it easier for more people to be the best gift-givers ever, we just created a really cool “add gift wrap” option at checkout. Check the box and we will ship the posters in a high-gloss red tube with a silver and blue bow sticker. AND for those who want to add a note inside, you can just email us your message and we’ll will hand-write it for you on our nice gift cards and include that in the tube as well! For the time being we are offering this for free – so be the BEST gift-giver ever and blow up some posters for your loved ones!

Wedding Pictures Mosaic Poster

WeddingMosaic2_2.jpg.scaled.1000

One of the COOLEST posters just came through yesterday – a photo mosaic of 2,000 wedding pictures that then ITSELF is a picture of the newlyweds. Brad G from New York just had his one year anniversary (congrats Brad!) and was trying to figure out two things:

1. What to do with the 2,000+ pictures that didn’t make the wedding album.

2. How to surprise his new bride with something really cool and show how much he loves her after a year.

Brad’s friend Benji told him about Foto-Mosaik-Edda, a freeware photo software. You can create mosaic-pictures, which are composed of many small pictures (tiles), from your own photos. He downloaded the software, loaded up all of his pictures, saved the result, and then uploaded it to PosterBrain to print it into a poster. And VOILA, he’s got an insta I-LOVE-YOU-THIS-MUCH poster present!

Thanks Steffen Schirmer, for creating such a COOL, easy-to-use software to show our wives how much we love them!
