Stickers Create Buzz(y) with Students!

The Shenandoah University Admissions team wanted to create a yield marketing piece that was eye-catching for students who submitted their enrollment deposit. Their idea was to “Customize Your Buzzy to Fit You!” – giving each student a Buzzy mascot sticker they could “dress up” with fun stickers. They partnered with Magellan to create a unique sticker postcard that included Buzzy the mascot plus more than 20 sticker items for Buzzy to wear and hold, including a Shenandoah t-shirt, crocs and a foam finger! The sticker postcard also included a QR code on the back so students could move forward with the next steps to becoming a Hornet.

Alyssa Adriansen, Magellan’s Director of Accounts, said she worked closely with production to get the stickers just right, switching to a clear sticker sheet so there wasn’t a white outline when items were placed on Buzzy. “This is an area where our sticker expertise shines through – helping find the right solution for our client so the end result is exactly what they were hoping for!”

Marissa Giauque, Senior Coordinator for Admissions Electronic Media at Shenandoah, said the team loved how the stickers turned out and everyone had fun creating their own Buzzy!

Nonprofit Marketing With Stickers

Do stickers work for non-profit? You bet they do. I kept seeing it everywhere. It seemed like every other car proudly displayed this blue square sticker with a thick yellow equal sign on it. My interest piqued, I searched the web to find what this ubiquitous window sticker was, quickly discovering the Equality sticker from the Human Rights Campaign. Immediately, the cause resonated, so I became an official supporter, just like that. All from a sticker on a stranger’s car window.  That’s the kind of impact stickers can have. A simple sticker on a car window, laptop, water bottle, guitar

Put Stickers in your Starting Lineup

It’s a question that’s almost always welcomed, even coming from a complete stranger. “Nice Bucks sticker! Are you a Milwaukee fan?” And just like that, fans connect and talk about the teams, leagues, players, coaches, organizations, communities, and how personal experiences shape their unique fanhood. Stickers are the catalyst for the kind of lasting engagement few other promotional products can inspire. These tiny traveling billboards can transform things we use every day into powerful branding tools that bring fans closer to each other and closer to the team. Impactful, lasting, versatile, and joyful, stickers deserve a spot in your marketing

Keep getting Captcha failing? These are reasons why...

We know it’s very annoying when you can’t place your order because the Captcha verification keeps failing. Unfortunately we must use it to stop fake orders and spam bots from ruining the site. However, some innocent people get caught in the crosshairs, and it sounds like that may have happened to you.

The most common reason reCAPTCHA doesn’t work is that Google finds your IP address suspicious. Why? We don’t know, but Google does. However, there are other causes that you can control, including outdated web browsers, faulty browser extensions, banned VPN servers, and more. Check out the list:

  • Your browser version is outdated.
  • Your computer is infected with malware.
  • The browser profile is corrupted.
  • Your IP address was banned because of detected suspicious activity.
  • Your VPN or proxy service is interrupting the reCAPTCHA process.

And these are just to name a few. And while we would like to be able to fix this problem from our end, we can’t… these are related to your computer and your IP address.

The best way to start is to update your browser, and disable any extensions you may have installed. Or, try a different browser.

If you are working from a corporate network, chances are you are behind a VPN or proxy server, and Google will deem this suspicious, because spammers work behind VPNs and proxy servers. The best thing in this case that you can try is to connect to a network outside your workplace and place your order then. 

If all else fails, please feel free to call in your order at 414-831-0184. Our hours for taking orders are 8AM-4:30PM CST. We are here to help!
