Free Stickers
Stickers! You slapped them on your skateboard helmet, locker, hydro flask, and maybe at one point covered your whole bedroom door. I think there’s a good amount of us that still add some “flair” to personal items. Whether it be supporting your favorite sports team or e-bike brand *wink wink* you want to let people know this is who I support.
Let’s get into why we support brands in general. Brands know that investing in a relationship with their customer directly impacts revenue and strengthens customer loyalty. I know if I feel some kind of connection to a brand or product, it’s most likely that I’ll keep spending my money with them over the competitor. Apple is a prime example. I’ve been in the Apple ecosystem for many years now and haven’t looked back. I had a Macintosh when I was a kid and it blew my mind. Steve Jobs was revolutionary and kept pushing the envelope on consumer products. He was the face of Apple and consumers want to learn more about people that represent their favorite brands. Elon Musk is another great example. The man is now the richest person on earth passing Jeff Besos of Amazon. He’s been on Joe Rogan’s podcast several times talking about the possibility of being in a computer simulation and how advanced artificial intelligence can be. He owns and runs some of the most high-profile companies in the world; Tesla, Space X to name a few. He actually seems like a genuine guy when you listen to him. Even on stage during his Tesla unveils, he gets a bit clambered in talking about the product(s) in front of millions of people watching (maybe I’m exaggerating the number). Heck yeah, I would be the same way on stage. I could be talking about a passion project which I know the ins and outs of but being in front of thousands of people is terrifying. You don’t want to screw up or you’ll essentially live online as a meme shared by your peers unless you’re Bernie Sanders.

Let’s steer this ship back on course. Consumers want brands to help people connect with each other. I’m part of the Super Squad as I own a Super73 Electric Motorbike. There is a community that is formed by owning the same product. Hey, I ride an RX, and this person on Instagram rides and RX, we should go ride together. Yes, it’s as easy as that. I spoke to someone the other day about this very thing. He posted a photo of himself on his S2 Apollo White and said five random people reached out to him saying let’s go ride in his area. He hasn’t really felt that kind of connection with other communities where people DM’d him to connect and ride. That’s the power of this or any community. I’ll dive deeper into the community in another blog post but want to preface it for next time.
Oh yes, back to stickers. I recently ordered some stickers from Sticker Mule and had a very nice purchase experience. They didn’t bombard me with pop-ups and hassle me to buy certain items other than what I wanted. They have good deals and the shipping is pretty quick. I recommend using them if you’re looking to order stickers or other promo items for yourself or your brand.
If you made it this far, thank you for taking the time to read this. Send a self-addressed envelope to me and I’ll send you some FREE random stickers from my collection. When I mean random, they will be random. Could be from SUPER73, a big brand like GoPro, a brewery I visited pre-COVID to a funny one I picked up along my travels, who knows. That’s the fun part!
Send your self-addressed envelope to:
