Banners are great marketing tools that can be used for a variety of purposes. With custom vinyl banners, you can increase your promotional ventures and provide internal organization with storefront flair. Getting a custom banner printed is easy and quick, but you’ll want to make sure you design it well and plan out where and how you’re going to use it. This way, you’ll guarantee that your first order is exactly what you need. Here are some ideas of places you can utilize custom vinyl banners so you can start planning your design.

Promotional Placement

Banners are most often used to help with marketing and promotional needs. You can hang them up nearly anywhere to help drum up business and gather interest.

Conventions and Events

If you have a table, room, or talk at any convention or other event, having a custom vinyl banner will certainly help you get more interest. A custom banner will attract attention from across the room and help attendees easily find and identify your station. When using a banner for an event, it’s important to keep the design clean and simple without too much information on it. If you overload your banner with text, for example, it will be harder for people to read it. You want to grab attention as people go by, and the harder it is to read, the less likely it is that you’ll accomplish that goal. 

Outdoor Advertising

Because of their material and finishings, custom vinyl banners are great for outdoor placement for your advertising ventures. Banners can be hung outside of your storefront to draw foot traffic. They can also be hung on billboards and other establishments to show off your business or brand. When using a vinyl banner outdoors, make sure you’re aware of where you’re hanging it and who owns that property. You’ll likely need to get permission before hanging your banner, but this can be a great way to meet new people and make some good business connections.

Indoor Advertising

Using custom vinyl banners in your store or office is an easy way to both organize and advertise. You can hang banners from the roof to help shoppers or visitors quickly identify the locations in your shop they want to visit. Banners can also be used to display sales or special events in an eye-catching manner that will encourage people to check them out. You can even use custom banners to announce new products or upcoming services that will entice future activity at your shop or office. You can decorate and organize your indoor location with the right placement of custom vinyl banners.

Organization

Organizing your storefront isn’t the only way banners can help. You can increase productivity by using banners in your storage rooms, warehouses, and other ‘backstage’ locations. Just like in your store, banners can hang from the roof or the sides of shelving to help indicate the location of objects. This makes getting around to what you need a lot easier and can be especially useful for businesses with heavy online orders. You’ll be able to keep all of your stock in shape and can help integrate any new hires in finding what they need without extra time spent showing them around.

Designing Custom Vinyl Banners

Now that you have an idea of where you can hang your banners, you need to consider how you’ll design them. Each location where you hang your banner will have a different design need. 

Conventions and Events

Event banners should be colorful with an eye-catching design. They should have minimal text on them, and the fonts should be large and easy to read. The goal is to attract attention in a crowded room, so make sure you don’t over-clutter your design area.

Outdoor Advertising

Outdoor advertising also needs to quickly grab someone’s attention and should have a focus on images and design elements. However, an outdoor custom vinyl banner can get away with having more text on it, as walkers are more likely to stop and take a look. It’s important that your outdoor banners contain your contact information or a way to visit your website since you won’t be there to tell people about yourself.

Indoor Advertising

Organizing your office or store with banners allows you to have some more freedom with design choices. You’ll want to make sure that your custom banners match the aesthetic of design elements already in place. So, make sure you choose fonts and colors that complement the rest of your physical location. 

Organization

Using banners for storage and organization allows you to have the most freedom with your design, and you should have fun with it. Your font still needs to be large and legible, but you can get a little creative with the rest of the design. Part of the appeal of using banners to organize is offering some inspiration and joy to employees and yourself. So don’t be afraid to get a little wild with what you choose to hang around the storage areas.
