Signs in the window are restricted to the size of the frame. Banners have no such restriction. They can be as big as the building. Big banners offer flexibility. You can change a banner. A new banner can have a new message. A new banner can have new colors and new dimensions. As time passes, events and sales and promotions change. So can that big banner. Big banners are relatively inexpensive. They hardly require research and development. The materials are readily available. Rocket scientists are not needed to make even the biggest banner. The big banners do not require the intensive work and time of an army of sign professionals. There is no major fabrication, no electrical work, and no real installation woes. Big banners are effective and match up well in comparison to print advertising and media promotion in terms of coast. Big banners represent a fraction of the expense associated with direct mailings, TV ads, and telephone solicitation. Bold can be a massive billboard on the highway, a logo emblazoned on a vehicle, or simply a cloth banner.

Installation is often an afterthought, but can seriously impact the effectiveness of your banner. Many a lovely banner has been ruined due to poor installation. Banners can be installed in a variety of ways using a wide range of accessories (i.e. grommets, pole pockets, rope, bungee cords, velcro, wind-slits, tie-wraps, and reinforced hems). You must consider installation methods PRIOR to ordering your banner so that we can fabricate your banner appropriately (for example, if you know you want to use rope to hang your banner between two poles, we need to manufacture a banner with grommets and perhaps wind slits). If you''re not sure just how you''re going to hang your banner, contact one of our Sales Reps and they''ll be happy to help you. All of our products are guaranteed to meet or exceed your expectations. Return anything purchased from us within a reasonable period of time and we will repair it, replace it, or refund your

By and large, the more colors you want to use, the more expensive your banner will be. If you can stick to one or two colors on a white background, your costs can be kept to a minimum. Buying in quantity will also save you money, as can ordering your banners in standard sizes. (Some of our fabrics come in 36" rolls. If you order a 31" wide banner, we have to cut off five inches which takes time and wastes fabric.) As a general rule, it is better to roll your banner up (into a tube) than to fold it into a square, as some materials will keep a crease. Banners made with vinyl graphics should be rolled with the graphics-side out. Not surprisingly, it is not a good idea
