BANNER STANDS – SO EASY TO USE.  SO MANY WAYS TO USE.  Whether you’re a retailer or the host of a charity event or dinner party or anywhere in between, it’s likely that you’re very familiar with the banner stand. Banner stands help us communicate valuable information in the precise location that it’s needed. Regardless of your intended use, choosing a display that works harmoniously in its environment, with graphics that properly inform your audience and call them to action is key to the success of your campaign. Many types and uses: There are a wide variety of banner stands but perhaps the most common is for trade show use.  Trade show banner stands display company information, showcase a new product or simply act as a backdrop for your booth. Banner stands also serve as directional markers in company lobbies, car dealerships or shopping malls.  Retail sales directories are another popular use for banner stands.  Stores will often deploy these signs to help direct consumers to strategic areas of the store. One last area of use is for special events.  Whether it’s a wedding or corporate event, banner stands serve as both a traffic and information service provider. Keep an eye on the weather: It’s important to consider the conditions of use that your banner stand will endure.  For example, a sign that is intended for outdoor use, and in a climate typically prone to rain or snow, will need to be made from materials that are designed to withstand such conditions. Communication with your sign maker is key: It’s important to keep your sign maker aware of your goals for your banner signs and how exactly they will be used.  Knowing where the signs will be placed and the intent of each sign will give your sign maker valuable information which could affect both design and materials. High-resolution images are best: If you are including images in your design, then the use of high-definition images will insure that the images on your banner stand will be excellent quality.  We recommend a minimum of 150dpi (at full size). RGB is also preferable. When designing... less is more: When it comes to setting up graphics for your banner stand, a good rule to keep in mind is “less is more”.  Keep the verbiage to a minimum whenever possible and in favor or high impact graphics. Easy to install: Finally, it’s important to note that banner stands are a breeze to set up.  Just pop open the stand and attach the graphic.  It’s that simple!  And when you’re finished with one graphic, order a new on and it will fit right in place.
