Sun Valley Painting & Decorating is a very straightforward company that advertises itself on waiting benches, some of which are placed next to the bus stops in Kamloops, British Columbia. This specific type of advertisement is developed by the company Creative Outdoor, they even labeled themselves on the bottom of the bench with their web page and their phone number. Both companies involved in this picture make a very good job.
Sun Valley Painting & Decorating has been painting and decorating for around 25 years and it seems like they know what they are doing. Something that started in Kelowna, BC has now grown to expand itself through different parts of British Columbia and Alberta. On their website, they promote their high quality, and they comment that their finished product will always exceed their customer’s expectations. On the bench, they show a very simple before and after type of advertisement. Their use of color attracts the eye of anyone passing by, except obviously if there is someone sitting down.
If we consider that people sitting down was the main reason why Creative Outdoor took the opportunity to make something out of it, they deserve some credit too. They actually encourage you on their website to use them as an opportunity to grow your business, they present themselves as good as how they promise that they are going to present you. On their website, they say “Our mission is simple – to bring new customers into our clients’ businesses! “
I encourage any reader to take the route that Sun Valley Painting & Decorating took. It actually works. I was riding my bike early in the morning when suddenly I had to stop. I don’t know if it was because it was a clear example of what I needed at that moment or if it was because of how clear the message was, I wonder if it was because of the colors. I am sure that this advertisement something had that made me stop. By stopping and taking a picture of it, as if I would have done in case I have needed to paint my cabinet. I now have access to paint residential furniture and cabinetry refinish as well as commercial, industrial, institutional and residential painting just for taking a look at their site. I might not need to paint anything soon but with this picture now I have access to a new way for expanding my business as well, in case I need to.
If not I’m sure someone will wait for their bus while sitting down, being grateful for that bench to be just right there.
