Santa Barbara Wine Country "Sideways" Map

Your organization has a tight budget - you'd like to attract two audiences with one marketing piece. Can it be done? Of course it can!

The Sideways Map is a great example of one marketing piece attracting two audiences - movie fans and wine country tourists. The Sideways map is a map of the Santa Barbara Wine Country that also describes locations used in the film "Sideways".

The map design is another example of a "take-away" - visitors keep the map as a souvenir.

Wilson Printing is Santa Barbara's source for printing maps, brochures, rack cards... everything you need to attract more visitors to your business. We can help you design collateral that is cost effective and make a lasting impression with your customers.

Santa Barbara Zoo Rack Card - Helping Tourists Find Your Business

The Santa Barbara Zoo is an amazing place to visit - with all the penguins, condors, elephants, gibbons, giraffes, gorillas, otters, snow leapards... but it is a hidden treasure in Santa Barbara, tucked away behind East Beach. How do you reach someone who may be in town for just a few days? Rack cards!

Rack cards are a very inexpensive and effective way to reach tourists of Santa Barbara. The Zoo uses rack cards to publicize the Zoo to tourists. The cards are distributed to hotels and restaurants - the places that tourists are - and are going to be looking for things to do while in Santa Barbara.

Wilson Printing's high quality print, paper and coatings result in a great looking piece that attracts more tourists to the Zoo. Call Wilson Printing to see how we can attract more customers to your business too!
