5 Outstanding Ways That Banners CAN Boost Your Business

Are you a new business or looking to step-up your marketing game? Professionally designed and printed banners are an excellent place to start.

We are going to give you a sneak peek at where to hang them and tips to consider when ordering.

1. Tradeshows
The best thing to do for your holiday marketing campaign is to start now and start quickly. If your business doesn’t have a plan in place yet, put one in place as soon as possible—the sooner the better. That way, you’re ready to launch whenever the time is right for shoppers.

Your goals can always be adjusted later on, but organizing for the holidays earlier sets up an outline your business can easily follow and adhere to when promoting its brand. Even though Black Friday and Cyber Monday are over, your company can still continue to share its product or service throughout the rest of the holiday season.

2. Your Building
This may seem like a no-brainer because so many people have permanent signage affixed to the front of their businesses. But, what about new product launches, special events, promo codes, seasonal sales? This is a great opportunity to use banners to affordably change out displays in your windows that would capture your walk-by or drive-by traffic.

3. Fences
If you’re in small or medium sized business and walk to attract some extra attention in your neighbourhood, this could be a great way to do it! Approach private property owners in a high traffic area and ask if you could place a banner in exchange for discounted services or small monthly payment for them. Hanging one of your banners in a well-lit, high-traffic area could bring in tons of exposure. We’ve seen contractors hang banners at the site of where they have completed work and we have even seen companies hang banners on the fences of coffee shop drive-thru’s! (Be sure to always ask permission and to make sure you aren’t breaking any local bi-laws)

4. Sporting Events
It’s likely that you or someone you know has children that are in sporting events. Find out through the local sporting complexes or teams about hanging your business banners at local events and tournaments. It may cost you a small fee in sponsorship, but if you think it might be your right audience and enough visibility - it’s just another great place to get your business banner in front of many eyes!

5. Stages and Concerts
If you are a public performer (musician, author, comedian, public speaker etc) then a banner is likely a must-have for you!

Be sure to design a simple but captivating banner that shows your web domain clearly – and always make sure to have your banner visible during performances or speaking engagements. The added bonus to this – Your banner will create constant brand recognition in photos that end up on social media. Consider having several banners to promote your next event or product launch!


When you’re choosing a banner for your business consider the following:


1. Where are you using your banner?
Vinyl banners are for use in both indoor and outdoor locations. Vinyl is a thick plastic material with flexible fabric-like movement that can be printed in both glossy and matte finish. Banners can be printed in a wide variety of bold, vivid colours. Because of their UV and waterproof properties, they are ideal for all locations. Also, if you are a performer who may have your banner placed on stage with stage lighting, talk to Future-Print about that – let them know your use to make sure you can optimize how it will be displayed.

2. What size do you need?
The most popular banner sizes are 2’x 4’, 3’x 6’ and 4’x 8’. These 3 sizes are typical for most banners ordered by businesses but the sizing is truly limitless.

Be sure to let us know – and we would be glad to go through the uses and options!

3. Do you need to hang your banner?
Banners can be hung almost anywhere. With metal grommets around the edges, the holes are protected from tearing to guarantee hanging them is a breeze. Ideally, thin pieces of rope or small bungees are used to hang banners. Again, let us know where you intend to use it, and we will gladly go over the options for displaying.
