We custom designed these charming deli characters for this delicatessen in New York. They are hand-painted then printed onto weather proof vinyl and applied like a giant sticker. People will certainly do double takes and this deli is destined to be the site of lots of photos and awestruck kids (their parents too). Your customers will walk through the door already smiling. Charming, cheerful and welcoming AND informative as well. Good looks + practicality = more customers!
Another recent example of how your windows should be used to their full potential. These large windows were empty except for little scrappy prints (less than useless!) but now they’ve become show-stoppers worthy a double take – or more. You have to admit, this beats yet another map of Sicily…!
The windows feature hand painted caricatures of the cast of Sopranos, Goodfellas, and The Godfather. Their tables are overflowing with huge plates of classic Italian food made by the chefs of Fredos. Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra are also there enjoying a huge shrimp cocktail. (just because we love them)
If your business needs some more WOW factor, call us today.
It has been a LONG time since my last post but that sure doesn’t mean we haven’t been busy. VERY busy. Sleep, what is that?
This is a take0ut menu that we designed to match the window and wall graphics plus the hanging menu boards that we made for this funky hotdog place. Tell me these don’t get attention!
Custom menus by Character&Co.

Custom menu boards by Character&Co.
Example….in your local sandwich shop, you notice that they really could use better menu boards, or window graphics; or their walls just need HELP. You give them this card, they check out the website or call us, make a purchase – you earn.
That IS easy.
The card will be pre-printed with your name (or self-chosen simple code) which the customer uses as a discount code at time of purchase. We will email you when someone has purchased using your code. This is a win-win situation. You help us find new customers and expand, we help you earn money – easily. You don’t have to make a follow up call, show pictures, try to convince anyone – just give a card to them.
If interested, click on the image and purchase some referrral cards with your own special “code” printed on them and start handing them out to whoever you think would be interested. Your only ‘investment’ is the price of the cards. (bulk discounts available) Email/call us with your code and contact info and wait for payments.
Very typical sales are between $1500 and $3500 although they sometimes go into the $10,000 range and have been occasionally MUCH higher – such as when we’ve worked for large supermarkets, franchises etc. so 3% can be a substantial sum for literally 3 seconds of effort.
Be sure to go visit our www.charactercompany.com website and see the sort of SUPER unique work that we offer.

Yocco’s Famous Hotdogs is an iconic must-try destination in Allentown, PA. We recently completed a custom painted mural for them that featured other well-known area historical and entertainment sites. (ie Dorney Amusement Park, the Crayola factory, Lehigh River rafting etc) The mural was done in a spontaneous, bright and colorful collage style. Although hard to see in these pics, various elements of the mural are raised as separate layers for added dimension and interest. It was painted at our location and installed it in a couple of hours.

We recently got a call from sunny Florida. The caller needed a custom designed logo and vehicle graphics for her brand new Gone Bananas ice cream/frozen custard truck business. Here is the final result….if you’re out and about in the Tampa area, be sure to taste one – it’s CRAZY GOOD.

Once a customer is in your business, their next focus of attention will be your menus. If they are hard to read, boring, or just plain ugly, there won’t be much incentive for a potential customer to read them. If they don’t read them, they won’t buy from them. If they don’t buy from them, your business will…do you get where I’m going with this?
Do yourself a favor and look at your menus from a customer’s perspective. Are they appealing, even tempting? Do you need to strain to read them? Is there just too much crammed into a small space? Do they virtually scream, “low budget, barely makin’ it, cutting corners wherever we can”?
If so, you had better find a way to fit properly designed and high quality menu boards into your budget so that you CAN sell more and give your competition something to worry about!
