Why consider banner sign advertising?

Banner sign is the number one quick cost effective way to get a sign message across to potential customers. Easy to design, quick to make, easy to install, one can order one or a hundred for the fraction of the cost of a neon sign.

Interior Banner Signs

Custom banner heights come in 6” increments – consider 18”- 24” high for close up interior applications. Interior banner material can be a lighter weight. Best allow for install with two people as one needs to eye for position and hold the banner out while the other fastens the banner.

The nice thing as that there is no need for special installation equipment or an outside crew as most of the time installation can be done by your own staff.

Exterior banner ads are well suited for secondary products, service items or seasonal specials. Consider nothing less that 24” high. Don’t attach the banner to your existing exterior store sign as it tends to reflect poorly on your image. Install the banner straight, level and anticipate take the wind will pull on it hard, so secure it right once.

Avoid banner designs with the wind holes. This type of banner has semi-circular cuts in the face which allows of some wind to blow through from the back of the banner. These cuts create an uneven background and negatively affect ones banner design. Try adding web reinforcement around the perimeter before considering this option.

Planning to use “Opening soon” banners signs for new stores? Suggest you get aggressive to over come that inertia of customer awareness. Consider at least a 48” high banner. We have used up 8’ high by 15’ wide opening soon banner ads where good visibility exists on a highway.
