PVC Banners - Getting it Right

From church fetes to fundraising events, PVC banners are a great way to attract attention. At the right size and with the right wording, they can help to swell numbers and increase takings.

Of course, there's an art to using PVC banners to get more people through your door. Just hanging up a banner isn't enough - it needs to have the right message and the right appeal in order to work well. You need an eye-catching design and words that motivate people to come to your event:

Design - the sort of design you add to PVC banners depends on the size of banner you choose and the type of event you're promoting. If your organisation has a logo, use it on your banner. Branding is all-important, even if it's just for a small local group. The more people see your logo and associate it with your charity or enterprise, the more likely they are to get involved or come to an event. Placing your logo where it will catch the eye of the passer-by is crucial to their understanding of who is holding the event. Design also involves placing the words and graphics in the right places so they can be easily read and understood by people in cars and buses as well as those walking by.

Words - don't make the mistake of using too many words on your PVC banners. Your statement needs to be as simple as possible. Too many words means smaller print and that can be hard to read from a distance, meaning that people can't find the essential information they need. If you're advertising an event, make sure the date, time and place are clearly visible, along with phone numbers for tickets or website addresses for further information. If you have space for a tag line - something that will encourage people to come along - use it, but not at the expense of the most important information.

Hanging - make sure you have permission to hang PVC banners in your chosen places. It could be directly outside the venue, or on the approach to it. You may need to talk to your local council or the venue owners before you put up any PVC banners, and it's worth doing this before you order anything so that you don't waste money. PVC banners come with strong fixing holes, and you should make sure you use equally strong rope or cord to ensure that the banner doesn't fly away in bad weather.

Gone are the days when outdoor banners simply had a few words printed on them. Today's technology means that you can print virtually anything onto outdoor banners, for effective and eye-catching advertising.

Outdoor Banners - Picture Quality

Digital technology has changed the way that many printers work, and it's certainly made a difference to the scope and quality of outdoor banner printing. Printing from digital photographs is cheaper and easier than ever before, and digital printing equipment has been specially designed to provide fantastic quality. You can now download a picture from your own digital camera to the printer and the next time you see it will be on your completed outdoor banners!

Original pictures - of course, the quality of the finished picture on your outdoor banners will depend on the quality of pictures you send to the printer. If you're planning on taking your own pictures, make sure you use a good camera, and take several shots so that you have a range to choose from. If you have software that will allow you to clean up and crop your own pictures, then use that before you send your picture to the printers. If not, just talk to the printer about how you want the image to appear on the outdoor banners and they can make the necessary changes.

Library pictures - you can use pictures from a photo library for your outdoor banners if you don't have any of your own. Some picture libraries are free, whilst others charge for the use of their images. If you've asked your printer to provide library images, make sure you know what the cost will be. In some cases, you may also need to credit the photographer or the library for the use of the image.

New pictures - the graphics you use on your outdoor banners don't have to be taken with a camera. Good designers can create graphics and images for you that reflect your organisation or are relevant to your event. This is a good way of ensuring a really clear, high quality image on your banner, but will add to the cost, so make sure you get a quote from your printer for this work.

PVC Banners for your Exhibition

As companies continue to look for ways to save money whilst still retaining existing business and attracting new clients, PVC banners become more attractive. Lots of businesses use PVC banners to promote special deals, new stock or long-term sales, but you can also use these types of banner indoor or outdoor at trade fairs and exhibitions.

PVC banners – flexible and affordable

Exhibiting at a show can be an expensive business. You have to pay for your floor space, and then find exhibition stands, promotional material, product giveaways or incentives, electricity and broadband access – and that’s not taking into account staff costs to set up and work the stand during show hours. It can be hard to see where you can save on these costs, but PVC banners could be part of the answer. Cheaper to produce than an exhibition stand, but just as effective when properly printed, exhibition banners are an excellent alternative:

• Outdoor PVC banners – most exhibition stands aren’t suited to outdoor conditions. Pop-up stands and banner stands are lightweight and so blow over easily and aren’t always fully weather-proof. Whilst they are perfect for indoor shows, they simply can’t stand up to external conditions. PVC banners, on the other hand, are strong and weatherproof. They can be printed in a wide range of sizes and the quality of print is excellent, so you know you can still use strong design to attract attention.
• Indoor PVC banners – why not combine professionally printed PVC banners with your exhibition stand? Banners are great at attracting attention and, depending on where your stand is located, you can make good use of the line-of-sight from the walkways to ensure that your spot stands out. Banners are lightweight, so easy to transport and put up, giving you an instant impact.
• Cost considerations – whether you’re exhibiting at more than one show during the year, or you want to get more than a few days’ use from your PVC banners, cost considerations are important. With the right design and wording, you can get many uses from your PVC banners, lowering the cost-per-use each time. With high quality materials and the right care, your banners will look good and get your message across for a long time.

Birthday and Party Banners

Birthday banners are becoming increasingly popular as people choose to celebrate their birthdays in style. Whether you’re throwing a surprise party, or you want to stage a banner in front of the birthday-person’s house, you need to choose birthday banners that are durable, eye-catching and well printed.

Birthday banners – the process

So, how do you go about finding birthday banners? It makes sense to plan ahead for this one. You’ll want your birthday banner to be personalised with the name of the person who’s celebrating, and maybe also their age and a special message. That means you need to find a printer that can handle birthday banners and that can help you with the design and layout. Steps to getting the perfect birthday banners are

• Size – decide what size you want your birthday banners to be. Printing machines that specialise in this type of work can handle banners of most sizes and you can find out from your printer the maximum size available.
• Fixing – how are you going to hang your banner? The last thing you need is for the fixing to break before the special guest has even seen the banner. Choose birthday banners with metal eyelets so you know the banner will be safe.
• Quality – your banner may have to last for several days, so make sure you choose a supplier that can print heavy duty birthday banners. A printer that specialises in promotional banners will be able to help.
• Design – what do you want your birthday banners to say? Design and colour is all-important when it comes to making sure that your banner is 100% effective. A printer with a design studio can help you to see what your banner will look like when it’s completed and give you the help and advice you need to make a real impact.
• Quality print – the quality of printing is all-important. You want your message to be clear and look great. The right type of printing will produce beautiful colours and clear printing to make your banner stand out.
