Custom candle labels can make products stand out during farmers market season. Lightning Labels' printing experts offer ways to jump-start marketing efforts with professional candle labels.

Denver, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/15/2013 -- Lightning Labels, custom label and sticker printing leader, is encouraging manufacturers to boost their marketing tactics this summer with custom candle labels, which will make products dazzle at farmers markets and elsewhere this season.

Summer is officially here, and that means it's prime time for festivals, art shows and farmers markets in particular, as warm weather brings high demand for produce and handmade goods. As consumers across the country fill their summer schedules with visits to these shopping events to seek out new products, candle manufacturers can get ahead of the competition by embellishing their items with custom labels.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, farmers markets have been growing in numbers across the country for the past two decades. In 2012, the agency listed 7,864 farmers markets in its directory, up nearly 10 percent from the number registered the year before. These events present a great opportunity for candlemakers, as they help businesses introduce themselves to new consumers, test products, bond with loyal followers and establish themselves within the community.

"Candle manufacturers planning to showcase products at farmers markets this summer have a busy season ahead of them," said AnneMarie Campbell, Business Development Manager at Lightning Labels. "Businesses that want to attract passersby at these markets will have to ensure their product packaging is appealing and unique. Lightning Labels can help candlemakers give their products the look they deserve with high-quality, durable custom candle labels."

Professional Candle Labels Are a Smart Way to Boost Brand Marketing:

With such a busy season ahead, businesses shouldn't delay ordering professional candle labels that flaunt their products' qualities at farmers markets. Here are two reasons why custom labels for candles are a smart way to jump-start branding efforts:

1. Quality Labels for Candles Can Withstand the Heat: Candlemakers are well aware that containers and labels for their products need to be flame-resistant, above all else. Lightning Labels' labels for candles are created to withstand heat and maintain an untarnished appearance. They aren't just safe - they're attractive too!

2. High-Quality Digital Printing Can Make Candle Labels Dazzle: While farmers markets are a great way to interact with target audiences, businesses often have dozens of stands to compete with for shoppers' attention. Lightning Labels' digital printing techniques create full-color, highly detailed labels that embody the manufacturer's brand and command attention.

Customized cosmetic labels can help brands beat the heat of competition this summer. Lightning Labels industry experts release design tips for cosmetic label printing.

Denver, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/08/2013 -- Lightning Labels, custom label and sticker printing leader, is excited to announce summer is here, and now's the perfect time to glam up products with customized cosmetic labels. Personal care and beauty manufacturers can expect a surge in sales as consumers gear up with items for the season.

The warmer months are a busy time of year for these businesses. Whether shoppers are looking to protect themselves from the sun or glam up their appearance for summer events and vacations, manufacturers have to be on their game if they want to take advantage of the incredible sales opportunity that summer has to offer. Brands looking to boost marketing endeavors can give their products the makeover they need with customized cosmetic labels from Lightning Labels that are both attractive and durable too.

"Summer is an exciting season for consumers and the beauty and personal care industries," said AnneMarie Campbell, Business Development Manager at Lightning Labels. "As brands come out with new skin-protection and cosmetic products, the right packaging can ensure these hot items stay fresh in consumers' minds. Meanwhile, existing products often need a reboot as well to remain relevant to shoppers. Lightning Labels' cosmetic label printing can give items the summer look they need to generate sales."

2 Design Tips for Making Labels for Cosmetics:

Summer marketing can be an exciting activity for consumer brands of all kinds, especially for makers of personal beauty care and bath and body products that invest in high-quality labels for cosmetics. When designing stickers and labels, consider the following two tips:

1) Opt For Color in Cosmetic Label Printing: Long gone are the cold dreary days of grays, browns and black of cold weather. As temperatures rise, consumers opt for colorful products and are looking for bold brands that can match their enthusiasm for the season. Lightning Labels' digital cosmetic label printing offers manufactures a seemingly infinite supply of hues and tones to choose from to make products stand out on store shelves and online.

2) Make Custom Cosmetic Labels Timely: Nothing spurs demand for products quite like urgency. Take advantage of the seasonal marketing opportunity to offer limited-time items created especially for summer months. Manufacturers don't even need to create new products; they can turn their tried-and-true best-sellers into collectibles easily by investing in variable image label printing. Lightning Labels' variable printing creates unique stickers and labels using text and graphics. Every product is packaged with a label that is unlike any other, creating fun, original items for shoppers.

As manufacturers reboot branding with customized cosmetic labels this summer, Lightning Labels' solutions are available to meet orders quickly and offer affordable rates.

Lightning Labels' digital printing experts advise how to show patriotism and pride this summer with custom USA stickers.

Denver, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/05/2013 -- Lightning Labels, a custom label and sticker printing leader, encourages manufacturers to prepare their products for the Fourth of July and other patriotic summertime events by using USA Stickers. Products can be just as American as apple pie in time for Independence Day, which can make them the perfect addition to themed cookouts, family gatherings and other summertime events.

These custom stickers don't have to be utilized only in July, either. Businesses and individuals can create red, white and blue stickers and labels that showcase year-round American pride, attracting support and garnering sales from current and prospective buyers.

Why 'Made in the USA' Labels Matter:

More than ever, consumers are reading labels of products they currently use and those they are thinking about purchasing, and sometimes, what's on the label makes or breaks sales. But ingredients aren't the only consideration people take when poring over labels - "Made in the USA" labels show buyers and prospects that the manufacturer supports the country. That can be a big benefit to businesses and others, as American consumers look to boost the domestic economy.

"With the troubles our economy has faced, more people are making a conscious effort to buy local products, and this applies to goods made in America, too," said AnneMarie Campbell, Business Development Manager at Lightning Labels. "When manufacturers display the fact that their products were made in America, more people will want to support the company in hopes to support local businesses and, ultimately, the economy."

2 Ways to Make Red, White and Blue Custom Labels and Stickers Pop:

Chances are other manufacturers will also plan USA-themed designs in time for Independence Day, so here are two ways to make red, white and blue custom labels and stickers stand out from the competition:

1. Use Custom Stickers to Tell a Story

While "Made in the USA" labels are a great idea and are impactful enough on their own, larger custom stickers can be used to tell people a bit about the product and its patriotic background. How many local workers does the business employ? Does the company support military efforts or donate to veterans' charities?

2. Make USA Stickers Timeless, Not Timely

Although American-themed stickers are great additions to products around the Fourth of July, they can be designed to outlast the summer. Making these stickers attractive and informative yet timeless in the sense they don't mention specific dates or months may serve to remind consumers that the manufacturer supports America all the time - not just on Independence Day.

Customers of Lightning Labels, past and present, who already have great labels to showcase, are encouraged to share them in the company's Annual Photo Contest, running now through June 30, 2013. Winners will be chosen through fan votes collected on Facebook in a public voting period to follow the photo submission period. Amazing prizes include an Apple MacBook Air laptop, an iPad Mini and a Kindle Paperwhite, as well as hundred of dollars in label credits that can be used toward future projects.

Hot sauce labels incorporate a tasteful kick into summer marketing. Custom labels and sticker printing experts at Lightning Labels offer advice on how to spice up product packaging.

Denver, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/25/2013 -- Lightning Labels, custom label and sticker printing leader, is encouraging hot sauce manufacturers to take advantage of summer marketing opportunities to spice up their product packaging with updated hot sauce labels.

During warmer months, consumers often heat up their barbecues, festival foods, dinner parties and even everyday meals with unique flavors and fun new condiments, making it a perfect time for manufacturers to consider a revamp to their marketing campaign. Hot sauce is a popular topping for many summer foods, and as shoppers peruse stores and shop online, they'll be looking for products that stand out. Custom hot sauce labels can help brands command attention.

"While consumers appreciate hot sauce year-round, summer is a great time to think about product packaging, especially for hot sauce producers," says AnneMarie Campbell, Business Development Manager at Lightning Labels. "Brands can take advantage of the high-quality and speedy digital printing services offered by Lightning Labels to give bottles custom labels that are just as bold as the sauce they contain."

Make Hot Sauce Label Printing a Surefire Way to Heat Up Sales:

Lightning Labels' digital printing offers manufacturers a seemingly limitless array of colors to choose from for hot sauce label printing. Because packaging plays a major role in consumers' purchasing decisions when considering a new product, hot sauce labels need to be flashy, colorful and vibrant to mirror the flavors of the condiment. That's why it's imperative to create stickers and labels that highlight products as the hottest items on store shelves. Lightning Labels can help brands choose the perfect label packaging design, including text and images to make their products pop.

Print Labels for Hot Sauce in Winning Batches:

Whether manufacturers want to make minor changes to their labels for hot sauce or overhaul their design entirely, it's only natural for decision-makers to want to create sample batches before committing to purchasing thousands of labels. That's why Lightning Labels offers affordable prices on all shipment sizes, allowing brands to test packaging and customize shorter label runs.

Another major consideration companies may have is the durability of their hot sauce bottle stickers, which makes waterproof labels a smart choice. Manufacturers can rest assured that their products' packaging will hold up well, whether items are kept in fridges, pantries or the warehouse, or at outdoor events like barbecues, festivals and restaurants.

Lightning Labels is currently offering 10 percent off label orders through June 26, 2013, using promo code SUMMER13 at checkout. The maximum discount is $1,000. Adding to the hot summer savings, all those who order will be automatically entered to win $1,000 in free gas.

Denver, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/23/2013 -- Lightning Labels, a custom label and sticker printing leader, reminds manufacturers and consumers that although spring weather may have just kicked in, scorching summertime heat is just around the corner. What better way to celebrate the season and keep products cool than printing custom labels and stickers?

"Summertime means a lot of things to different people - beach weather, vacations, breaks from school, events that encourage people to spend time outside - so manufacturers have to make sure their products are ready for their consumers' desires in the coming months," said AnneMarie Campbell, Business Development Manager at Lightning Labels. "Product marketing and brand updates are important for seasonal items like lip balm and sunscreen, but it also makes a world of difference on non-seasonal products that could benefit from a summertime label upgrade."

Custom Lip Balm Labels Remind Consumers to Purchase, Protect:

Now more than ever, people are reminded to take care of themselves during the warmer months - a caution that can be promoted and communicated on custom lip balm labels. Manufacturers can first attract consumers to lip balm products by adding elements reminiscent of warm weather, for instance, colors that remind consumers of the beach and water. But it's important to include label and warning information that builds consumers trust and shows them a company cares about their well-being. Manufacturers can do this by being diligent in including warning information, ingredients listings and facts about use and sun protection, if applicable.

Consumers who will host summertime shindigs may also consider giving timely favors or prizes at their events, and nothing screams summer weather quite like customized lip balm labels. Using custom labels allows party-throwers to include event details like dates, times and/or hosts names and related colors inspired by the invitation and fun pictures or graphics that will remind guests of the event every time use lip balm.

Create Custom Lotion Labels to Serve Consumers' Needs and Wants:

When people are asked what comes to mind they think of summertime, it's likely they will mention swimming pools or beaches before anything else. Manufacturers that make bath and body products people tote in their beach bags - be it sunscreen or tanning lotion - can give these products a summertime makeover with custom lotion labels.

Much like custom lip balm labels, custom lotion labels serve several purposes that make stellar design, consistency and honesty imperative. Not only must the copy and graphics be eye-catching among the hundreds of competitor products lining store shelves and online, but the information must tell consumers exactly what is in the product, including sun production factor, ingredients, directions and necessary warnings.

"Manufacturers have a responsibility to not only promote their products this summer, but ensure consumer protection and give all the necessary information upfront," Campbell said. "If this isn't achieved, people will not only be less likely to buy the products in the future, they may lose trust in the brand."
