Why do people put stickers on any and every flat surface they can find? Family cars bragging about their vacation locations. Random roadsigns marketing the local skate-shops. And “Don't worry. Be happy†stickers on alley dumpsters. Personally, I think it's a marking-your-territory thing. Regardless, sticker lovers of all kinds can now buy giant wall-stickers from Fathead. There are tons of stickers to choose from including sports heroes, military vehicles, beautiful women and cartoon characters.
Implications - Posters, despite their age-old appeal, have fallen to the wayside as the standard of indoor decor. More discreet, seamless designs are preferred by modern homeowners and renters. Companies should avoid gaudy, attention-grabbing designs for their products and pursue more understated looks.
