RNTR.com Partners with Banners.com

Starting a new business comes with its challenges, especially when it comes to standing out in a competitive market. RNTR.com provides a peer-to-peer rental platform designed to connect people who want to rent out their items. Building brand visibility was a key priority as they launched their services. 

To achieve this, they turned to Banners.com for custom vinyl banners and yard signs. These products would in turn help them establish a strong physical presence in their local community.

Raising Awareness for a New Platform is a Challenge

As a startup, one of the  biggest challenges for RNTR.com was generating awareness for their innovative platform. The idea of renting items directly from individuals, instead of relying on traditional rental stores, was new to many potential customers. 

There are so many digital marketing campaigns available. It’s a headache. The challenge was to ensure their message stood out in an already crowded space. In short, the focus needed to be on RNTR's target audience.

RNTR.com needed a simple, yet effective way to catch the attention of locals and introduce them to the platform. It was essential to create a cohesive and eye-catching marketing strategy that would make the brand easily recognizable to anyone driving or walking by.

The Solution: Custom Vinyl Banners and Yard Signs

To tackle this challenge, RNTR.com partnered with Banners.com to create high-quality, attention-grabbing custom banners and yard signs. These products allowed RNTR.com to bring their brand into the physical world in a bold and straightforward way.

Why vinyl banners and yard signs?

These print materials were selected because of their visibility, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Vinyl banners are designed to endure the elements, making them perfect for outdoor placement. Yard signs placed in busy areas can attract attention to important locations. They can also encourage more people to visit places where they can interact with the platform. 

Both materials offer significant space for messaging, and with vibrant graphics, they effectively communicated RNTR.com’s mission.

Simple, Bold and Impactful Design Strategy

The creative process behind signage was centered around one goal; it was to create a strong visual impact. RNTR’s  branding was front and center, with bold, easy-to-read fonts and engaging graphics. The messages showed that renting items from people in your community is easy and also good for the environment. 

The banners and signs featured a clear call-to-action. This invited people to check out RNTR.com and discover how the platform would meet their rental needs.

The simplicity of the design ensured that whether a person was passing by on foot or car, the message would instantly be understood. With large, colorful visuals and clear messaging, these signs became a beacon for anyone looking to rent or list items.

Building Local Awareness and Engagement

The results of RNTR.com’s use of vinyl banners and yard signs have been impressive. They were placed in strategic locations around their initial launch area in Alexandria, Minnesota. These signs have since helped drive brand recognition and engagement in the local community.

“We were trying to gain visibility in a sea of signage and advertisements. So, we went old school with banners and yard signs. Nothing fancy, just tried and true.” - CEO of RNTR.com

Community members began noticing the signs, often stopping to learn more about the platform and how it could benefit them. In turn, this led to increased sign-ups from both users wanting to rent items and those interested in listing their own items for rent. The physical presence of the banners and signs helped RNTR.com solidify its position in the market, fostering trust and recognition among local residents.
