The world of promotional advertising has changed over the years. With the introduction of the internet, businesses have found that they need to be eye catching and attention grabbing in the real world. Taking their products and putting them on display, a number of commercial advertisers are using large format graphic banners and wraps to promote their business and draw in the customers that they are looking for. With the availability of building wraps that can cover the exterior of a large wall with an advertising message, some businesses are discovering that they can provide an ongoing impression to the public that is in the vicinity of their location.

As vehicle wraps have allowed businesses to cover their fleet vehicles with messages and graphics that are attracting the attention of other drivers on the road, some retailers are recognizing the advantages of advertising to the population that is not tied to their computer. Relying on their message to get through, retail installations of wraps for cars and buildings is bring in traffic to the stores and offices of owners that are investing in their real world advertising. Attracting attention in a positive way there are companies that have spread their marketing budget across several avenues of promotion. Allowing a percentage of their advertising spend to be used online to promote a website and social media interaction with tens of thousands of potential consumers, the allocation of marketing funds for graphic installations is also adding to the success of an enterprising business.

Making it possible for companies in the retail or professional workforce to engage their customers in new and exciting ways, some industries are using the building wraps to capture the attention of consumers that are working and playing in the vicinity of their office or retail space. Providing wraps that measure 30 feet or more in length some enterprising businesses are installing advertising brand messages that hang the length of their building and can be seen from great distances. Changing the perception of consumers that are looking for a particular brand, images that are constantly being viewed are impacting the subconscious mind and influencing the buying decisions that many consumers make. Being an outlet that is able to still attract attention amid the electronic devices that are blocking out broadcast signals and making it difficult for businesses to market their services and merchandise on TV or the radio, some companies are recognizing the need to be out in the open and promote their offerings or brand through the work of graphic installations that include vehicle and building wraps.
