Stick figure families (or stick families) are a hot, trendy consumer item right now. When cut in exterior white, silver, gold, or light gray vinyl, they are absolutely adorable on car windows. They are meant to represent the members of your family and stand between 2 1/2" to 5-6" tall. They retail from $2/infant up to $5/adult. Pets run around $3-$4 each, and extra text for the family names varies from $2/name to $5/family name.

Not only can stick figures be used to represent families on vehicles, they can be used for job charts, name tags, and other things around the house. They're being used on t-shirts, scrapbooking pages, cards, and more. People love to talk about their families and stick figures are a great way to celebrate their family's uniqueness.

In our Stick Family PLUS Collection, we have included non-stick figure elements like sanddollars, sandbuckets/pails, palm trees, beach footwear, etc. that can represent family units. You can line up beach sandals to represent a family, or different sandbuckets. It's all about showing the personality of your family, and what you enjoy doing together.

What are YOU are doing with the stick figure families? What are people saying about them?

Our catalog pages have a colored background to help prevent third-party misuse. May we suggest some options for sharing them with others:

1- When showing stick families, use a few presentation folders with sheet protectors. (We have found some great, white presentation folders with 12 attached top-loading sheet protectors at Walmart. They are slim, trim, very professional, and don't use the bulky rings that catch paper. They run around $4/folder.)

2- Print catalog pages on white cardstock for added durability in the sheet protectors. You can place two pages of cardstock in each sheet protector, for viewing on each side.

3- Take your catalog on a CD to a local print shop and have them print your copies. Or, print a master color copy from home and make colored copies as needed at a copy center.

4- If you wish to have something for customers to take home, present them with a black/white photocopy of the colored page. The background will be a bit gray, so make sure you print a bit on the lighter side. Customers will understand.

5- Consider showing only one or two catalog pages to new customers. Too many options generally overwhelm them, create more work for you, and dramatically increase the decision-making time.

6- Use the suggested order form we included in your collection. As the customer tells you about their family, jot extra notes on the paper so that you can add the elements and extras if needed later.  Charge accordingly ... our website offers some general pricing and sizing guidelines.

7- Please avoid showing our designs as black images on a white background. It may look a bit cleaner, but it "unprotects" our designs.  When our designs are dark images on a white background, they can be instantly vectorized, engraved, or cut in number of different softwares. This means that the very design we sell can be instantly replicated and used.

8- Lastly, invite customers to visit www.MyVinylSupplier.com to see all the vinyl designs you have available for them. There is no reference to us. You are welcome to use the how-to video, color swatches, and rotating galleries (excluding the finished photo gallery showing other people's work) in your own blog and website.
