Restaurants

Here are some banners we printed for local restaurants to promote their specials. A variety of font choices and clip art graphics make these banners look unique.  The hamburger banner is printed on our mesh material, making it perfect for use in windy locations, with a few zip ties holding it in place.

Soccer Team

Here is a banner we printed for a local youth soccer team.  Even color gradients are able to be printed and come out looking great, and simple zip ties can be used to hold a banner in place.

Rock Band Banner

Here are photos of a banner we printed for the band "Out of Hand" as it looks before a show.  As you can see, large graphics can be printed with fine detail.  The lightweight nature of this banner allows it to be hung virtually anywhere.

Maximize Your Ad Budget with Banners

If you're like many marketers, retail and otherwise you know that your advertising dollar is buying less and less in terms of qualified leads. And like many you are likely seeking a way to attract the RIGHT kind of customers. There is a way to effectively communicate your marketing message to the people that drive-by your facility.

Effective signage can help you to create traffic as well as promote profitable products and services. While many retailers are already using banners and signage, they are typically outdated in terms of the messaging and are often dirty and tattered. This type of signage can actually be detrimental to attracting new business.
Investing in a banner program can breathe new life into your business, attract additional customers and increase the average sale per customer by promoting additional products and services. In addition, banners can generate greater interest because the message can be focused on holidays, specials and benefits that your company offers customers.

Let's face it, when we use traditional advertising, most of our ad dollars are wasted on customers who either don't fit our optimal profile, are out of our geographic area, or who just don't have the capacity to buy. The new post-recession era requires a more practical approach to marketing and a return to "back to basics" and proven methods.

Make the decision to create a banner program for your business today.

Keep Your Banners Simple

Keep your banner text short and sweet! You only have a few seconds to get your message across, so don’t try to get them to read a book. If your banner has too much text, the viewer will skip it all together.

Make it simple- start with your logo and perhaps a product shot. An effective banner usually consists of a simple picture of whatever you are promoting, then one main line of text (i.e. "half off appetizers on Tuesday" or "free oil change with detail".) You can then add a second line of text with the details of your offer, (i.e. "one per customer" or "not valid with any discounts".) 

Remember that your banner is like a small billboard- "Got Milk?" is all the text needed on top of an image of a movie star with a milk mustache. So, keep it simple and make a bold statement.

Great Use of a Banner

This is a great way to use a banner to inexpensively boost morale at a company.  What other ways have you used banners in your business?

"While they closed the blinds to view chair choices on a monitor, partner Brian Dobbins hung an 18-foot banner off the roof of the building across the street. Filmmaker client Zack Pearlman rushed in to ask if they’d seen the commotion across the street. When the blinds were opened, Dealbert (1.5 years and Susan Solomon’s assistant) and Moeller (a 3.5 year vet and Peter Principato’s assistant) realized their coffee pouring days were over."
