With the end of 2024 in sight, the PIP Metro Indy team is taking a look back at the top hits of the summer to see what’s on the horizon for the next quarter. We’ve been thrilled to partner with our customers on unique and captivating projects that helped their brands stand out from the competition, and we can’t wait to do the same for you! Wondering how you can set your brand apart? Check out what trends you can expect to see going into the final quarter of 2024 to stay trending:
1. Review Your Leave Behinds
Last quarter, we talked about upgrading your client experience with high-quality leave behinds. These could range anywhere from presentation materials, folders, notepads, thank you notes, and much more. But when is the last time you’ve compiled all of these elements in one spot and reviewed everything as a whole? How does your brand message convey across these pieces — are your fonts consistent, proper branding colors used, or even a consistent message throughout the pieces? As we enter the 4th quarter, this is the perfect time to begin reviewing and updating these items so you are ready to roll in 2025. Not sure where to start or how to handle a task like this? Give our expert team a call to schedule a discovery meeting and see how we can assist.
2. Redirect Your Direct Mail
We’ve been thrilled to have the opportunity to work on a huge influx of ‘out of the box’ direct mail campaigns in 2024, and especially in Q2. These ranged from additional “leave behind” elements in a letter (think: buttons, coins, magnets, and more!) to custom printed boxes and promotional items sent directly to top customers! These are a great way to leave a lasting impression with your recipients and keep your branding top of mind on desks, fridges, and cork boards alike. The opportunities to expand your customer base with direct mail are endless — we’d be happy to help bring your vision to life. Not sure where to start?

3. Prepare For The Holidays
It’s never too early to start planning for the holiday season! Many of our vendors and partners are already scheduling for the rush of orders that begins to roll in around this time each year, so it’s time to get yours on the calendar. With an influx of orders, production time might be a bit slower than the rest of the year, so we want to make sure we help you plan accordingly to meet any deadlines. If you haven’t started thinking about your holiday marketing campaign — don’t worry! There is still plenty of time going into Q4 to bring your ideas to life.

4. Stick It On: Labels & Stickers
Stickers will never go out of style, and we’re seeing some creative uses for custom stickers and labels this year. These can be low-cost ways to spruce up existing marketing materials or add a special touch to a new product roll-out. We have endless options for material, specialty finishing, lamination, adhesion, and much more to suit your needs! If you want some inspiration, check out our Pinterest to see other sticker and label assets we’ve customized and personalized for other clients to gather fresh ideas for your project.
