Quippy sticker ideas for vintage shop customers?
August 11, 2023 6:56 PM Subscribe
Help me come up with a quippy slogan to put on a sticker for customers. We own a small vintage shop in the Midwest and would like to create two different sticker options to offer 1) out-of-towners visiting the shop, and 2) first time customers.
Let’s say our shop name is “Larry’s Vintage”. What might be a clever or funny sentiment to include on a free sticker that we offer to these two groups of customers? Like, “I popped my cherry at Larry’s!” but slightly less ridiculous? But ridiculous ideas also welcome. Thanks in advance!

Best answer: Larry's Vintage: Come find the stuff you wish you'd kept from the 1900s!

Best answer: Everything Old is New Again
With Larry's Vintage either above or below, maybe in a smaller type since this is long.
For out-of-towners, is there any big attraction in your town that you could use the name of? I'm thinking something like the following:
I came for Lincoln's home, but stayed for Larry's Vintage.
Chicago: The Art Institute, Wrigley Field, and Larry's Vintage.
Orlando: Larry's Vintage, and oh yeah, Disney World
(This all depends on the size of your stickers and what magic a graphic designer can work - if you like this idea and it works for your town, maybe you or someone here can come up with better, more concise versions.)
