We all know Minnesota can be the land of ice and snow. Luckily, we catch a break and get a few really nice months a year where we want to hold events outside or promote outside. With so many people thinking the same thing at the same time, a bit of signage helps guide and direct. Here are our top ideas for getting started on being seen and creating the right impression for those that are using signage for marketing purposes or way-finding signage.   If you want to be flashy: Go all out, grab a custom printed tent. Options include, back and sidewalls and custom canopies. If you want to be inexpensive: If it's temporary and it's just about efficiency there is no better bet than grabbing a banner or coroplast signs you can stick in the ground with cheap metal stakes. If you want to be sturdy: There is nothing better than something that doesn't bow or break in the wind. Our pick is a composite aluminum, like dibond or actual aluminum. You can have a print mounted to it or printed directly on it. If you want to grab attention quick: Portable, varying height options with different weights available these can last a while outdoors if treated properly . Feather Banners are typically fabric and they definitely stand out above the crowd where other signs can't reach. If you want to be compact: Retractable Banner Stands are compact, portable and easily transported. They don't only make these for indoors but they have outdoor versions of them too.   By: Apryl Cave
