7 Best Window Clings For Businesses & When To Use Them

Windows are an underrated and often unused space for a business. You shouldn’t cover every surface with window and wall clings but you can cover a few key spots to enhance your branding, promote something exciting, or help direct people.

There are many different types of custom window clings and large format printing you should consider, depending on the intended length of use and intended message.

Anti-UV Window Clings

Places like Arizona and Southern California are extremely hot for much of the year. Instead of paying for tinted windows, custom UV-sealed vinyl window clings block harmful UV rays but allow sunlight to enter. It’s often worth paying a premium upfront to keep rooms cooler by blocking UV solar radiation. An added bonus is that this type of cling protects furniture, flooring, and fabric from fading due to sun exposure.

Custom Logo Window Clings

Put your brand out there by putting your logo and tagline across your windows. These window clings can be custom-cut to fit logos of a unique size or shape.

This is a good starting point if you’re unsure about how window clings will look in your current setup, especially if you choose the static clings for easy adjustment.

Privacy Window Clings

Have you ever seen a bus window from both sides? From the outside, you can only see the ad, while from the inside you can easily see what’s passing by.

Vinyl window stickers designed for privacy can be designed to obscure the view from the outside or to obscure the view in both directions. These can still let some levels of light through, depending on the design. They can be a great replacement for curtains or blinds, which can be quite costly to fit, especially in tall business buildings.

These can also be great for windows that have a bad view, such as the back of an industrial building or an unattractive parking lot.

Wayfinding Window Clings

Wayfinding signage helps direct people to go down a certain hallway or use a particular door. This type of window cling is often used in medical centers, large warehouse-type retail stores, and schools.

When you direct the eye where to enter the establishment, customers who are often in a rush feel more comfortable and efficient. This is quite common in stores with automatic doorways, such as grocery stores.

When using wayfinding in retail stores, it’s best suited for storefronts with many windows. This makes it so you can highlight the entry door, the exit door, and the delivery door, for example. Internal windows can also be used.

Be warned that this can become overwhelming if too overdone. Talk to an Artisan Colour specialist to see some examples of successful wayfinding signage.

Billboard-Style Window Clings

Billboards exist to catch the eye of people passing by. This type of window cling is most often used to:

• Store openings
• Advertise seasonal sales
• Show off new products
• Highlight limited-time or special offers.

If you need to switch up your messages frequently, reusable window clings can be very cost-effective.

Seasonal Window Clings

Holidays are a great way to get people excited! Vinyl window stickers and clings can be easily designed to show some holiday spirit. Use festive symbols and bright colors associated with the holiday to enhance the ad.

Don’t forget seasonal sports, yearly community events, and even the four seasons can make for great marketing. Lots of bright colors for springtime and earth tones for autumn are an easy go-to.
