The wall behind a desk is now part of how people show up at work. A printed backdrop makes a spare bedroom look like a studio, and it takes one wall.
On camera
- A logo or brand wall behind the desk
- A bookshelf or library scene
- A calm landscape or skyline
- Texture: wood, stone or brick looks on a flat wall
For the work
- World maps for travelers and remote teams
- A timeline of the business or career
- A vision board or goals wall
- Quotes that mean something to the owner
What to plan for
- Check the camera angle. Plan the design around what shows on screen, usually the middle of the wall at seated eye height.
- Keep logos sharp. Ask for vector files (EPS or PDF) so lettering stays crisp at wall size.
- Mock it up first. Put the design on a photo of their wall so they see it before they buy.
How to pitch it
The best prospects have a wall people see every day, a reason to change now, like an opening, a rebrand or a renovation, someone you can reach who decides, and a budget for decor already. Start with coaches, consultants, realtors, attorneys, podcasters and anyone who sells over video.
The walk-in takes about 20 seconds:
“Hi, I’m [name] with [your business]. We print full-color murals and graphics straight onto walls, right here in [city]. Can I show you what that wall would look like with your design on it?”
Take a photo of the wall, mock the design up on it, and follow up with an email in two days and a call in a week. Most jobs aren’t lost to price. They’re lost to a follow-up that never happened.
Questions people ask
How big should a video call wall be?
Most only need the area behind the desk, often 6 to 10 feet wide. The rest of the room can stay as it is.
Can you print a company logo?
Yes. Vector files print sharpest. Raster files need 150 to 300 pixels per inch at the final size.
