When to Use a Cheap Banner

Cheap banners come in many shapes and sizes. They’re used for a variety of reasons and purposes. Let’s dig in to go over some of the various ways they can be utilized, how their different makeups work for different scenarios, and what the best-case uses are for each one.  

Standard Vinyl Banners:

Comprised of 13oz scrim vinyl material, these banners have a white opaque base, which works excellently for front printing and display. They are also tear and fade resistant, and fire retardant, too.

Standard vinyl banners are good for indoor and outdoor use, and are capable of lasting up to three years outside if properly cared for. Among the times when you will benefit greatly by using them:

•          Sales promotions

•          Grand openings

•          Birthday parties

•          Church functions

•          Charity events

•          Trade shows

•          Graduation celebrations

While they do last for a few years outdoors, they are even better suited indoors, often lasting 10 year or more. This is because wind can stretch/destroy banners over time. If you’re going to hang a vinyl banner outside in a windy area, we recommend adding wind slits. These will ensure the banner will remain intact, and not become a victim of the outdoor elements.

Mesh Banners:

Mesh banners possess a couple factors that their vinyl counterparts do not. First, because they are created with tiny holes throughout the banner dimensions, they aren’t affected by wind, except in extreme conditions. Additionally, rain and light-to-medium snowfalls have no real ramification on them.

They are light. So light, that they weigh about half as much as vinyl banners do. It makes them easier to carry, transport, and hang. Mesh banners are the premium choice for outdoor settings. Because of their versatility as an outdoor banner use, they can be placed on chain link fences, attached to the side of buildings, and tied between a pair of trees or poles. Among the legion of locations you’ll see their prevalence are at construction sites, parks, concert venues, and more.

Retractable Banners:

Do you travel for work a lot? Do you often have a booth at a trade show or conference to sell insurance, software systems, or dental care? Great news for you. Introducing our retractable banners. These vinyl banners can be put to such good use at these types of events.

They are so simple to assemble. It should only take a couple minutes to set up your retractable banner. When you get to the convention hall, for example, it’s a matter five easy steps. Remove the items from the carrying case, position the base on the ground, insert the pole into the base, unroll your banner, and attach it to the top of a support pole. Voila! Promote your company and products for the next two-to-three-day show. With your personalized text and image(s), you have opened a pipeline to untapped sales and revenue.

The small canvas carrying case is on us, and so lightweight to handle. We know that if you’re setting up a whole booth at an event, you’ve got enough to deal with. And retractable banners, once back in the case, are so petite to carry, they’ll fit into the overhead bin on an airplane with absolutely zero hassle.

Step & Repeat Banners:

Other kinds of banners allow for either a matte or gloss finish. Step & Repeat Banners only provide matte finishing. Why? Because while gloss give off a shinier appearance than matte, that becomes problematic for photo or video. Because of its sheen look, it will produce a glare when cameras are used. Step & Repeat is the ultimate photo op when it comes to banner usage.

These cheap banners give you the opportunity to put a fun background for pictures at special personal events like:

•          School reunions

•          Wedding receptions

•          Corporate office parties

Step & Repeat banners are a creative and interesting way to do photos that provide lasting memories, as opposed to a simple, plain white wall behind those in the picture.

While that’s how they work on a personal level, these banners can make you some real money if you attend trade shows and events like that. You set one of these up in your booth, people come by, you earn immediate brand awareness, even perhaps a sale on the spot. And who knows what can happen from there?
