A Monster Mural is an excellent activity to have at large community events where your station has a presence. We can tell you what a great activity it is, what a warm-and-fuzzy vibe it creates... but the most important thing we want to tell you is how you can sell SPONSORSHIPS for the mural.
It’s a Warm-And-Fuzzy, All-Ages, Great-Eye-Candy, High-Throughput Activity
Like you'd expect from the pictures, our murals make for a really warm-and-fuzzy activity area. Kids love the scale of the painting area, and parents forget how relaxing it is to pick up an paint brush. It's low-stress - you're not asking them to be creative - and they think it's pretty clever of you for giving them the chance to paint. And you'll be very surprised at how many age groups are attracted to this. It also has a great “stickyness” factor--that participants stick around long enough for product pitches, samples, etc.
Customization
Adding logos and big text headlines is really the easiest part. We can also combine character sets, or even draw new characters to really represent the event theme. We can add your station logos, and most importantly other SPONSORING COMPANY LOGOS that you send to us. Scroll down for design examples.
Selling Sponsorships On The Mural
For an upcoming idea you have a partership with, put out the idea of buying logo spots on a mural as a sponsorship package in and of itself (or make it part of a larger sponsorship package). When it sells, then buy the mural from us, letting us know what themes you'd like and what logos to include.
Consider a “Support The Troops” Signature-Message Mural
For a July 4th event, Veteran's Day, or any other event with a military tie, consider one of our murals designed to let participants write a sentiment. You'll be gathering the sentiment of the community, which can be very powerful for the military folks this is directed towards. Scroll down for some design examples and photos. |

Consider the Single-Use Tarp if you just need a mural for a one-day or one-weekend event, or if you plan to move the mural somewhere for display afterwards.
This mural works with kids tempera paint, or with markers. It is not reusable.

Wipeable Tarps are made of a plastic that you can just wipe off and reuse. These make sense if you’re at a multi-day event--where you'd like to start over every day. They're in one piece, with grommets like a regular banner. It rolls into an 8” tube. We have Mural Stands available to rent.
You could also consider a charity angle with a mural like this. You could give the mural to a Boys & Girls Club or YMCA after the event. You, the sponsor, and the event could make a publicity moment out of it.
This mural works with Crayola Paint or Crayola Markers, and wipes off with just water and a sponge.

Below are several different design ideas. We've grouped them into four categories:
--Design examples with both a station and sponsor logos.
--A design where a TV station provided their cartoon characters to incorporate into the mural.
--Signature-Message design ideas (Support The Troops, Komen Race For The Cure, etc.)
--New Illustration Designs created especially to feature a sponsoring business. |

Below are several examples of our Signature-Message murals. Do something like this for a “Support The Troops” at a July 4th event. (We've heard of organizations sending a mural like this to local troops serving overseas.) This concept also works for a “support the local team” event, or at a commemorative walk event, like Komen Race For The Cure events.

| Below are several examples of designs where we drew New Illustrations to really customize a mural design to match a sponsoring company's interests. |
 |
| We drew Carilion's new hospital and the big star on a local mountain that's a local landmark. We already had the medical staff and patients. |
 |
| For Pacific Community Credit Union, we took our harvest design, and replaced the fruits and veggies with coins and paper money. |
 |
| For Valero, we worked in local landmarks, a Valero store and branding, refineries and windmills, as well as kids cleaning up, planting trees and enjoying the waterfront. |
 |
| For IGA grocery stores, we created a grocery shopping design. |
 |
| For U.S. Cellular, we drew in their mascot “Cellby”. |
 |
| For Baylake Bank, we drew a design featuring their bank, characters who look like they're at the event, their cow mascot, and a cheesehead (they're in Green Bay). The bank also sponsors a tall ships event later in the year, and they wanted to promote that. So we integrated tall ships into the design. |
