Banners

For the most exposure for your grand opening, get your banners up as soon as you lease your space.

Banner signs are one of the most cost efficient methods of advertising you can find. Banners are a portable and affordable way to put your message in many places. The versatility of vinyl banners is unsurpassed in their effectiveness for the price. They can be displayed indoors or out, vertically or horizontally and are ideal for just about any message.

With a well placed banner sign, you can draw customers into your establishment right off the street or sidewalk. Banner signs, as compared to other forms of advertising, grab a potential customer's attention at the best time and place possible, within a matter of a few feet from your front door. Newspaper, mailers and/or TV messages are delivered to your customer at home, where they have to make the time and travel all the way to you establishment. Banners draw them in when they are in your area. It is an additional way to confirm that they need to come in to see what you have to offer.

When choosing a banner sign, remember that not all banner signs are created equal. Many inexpensive banners are just stick-on letters on cheap cloth or light weight vinyl, with grommets in the four corners. Color and font choices on the inexpensive banners are often minimal.

SmartBizChoices offers banners in a variety of colors and sizes. Let us know what colors you want, what color background you need and what you want the banner to say. Your banners can be as simple as one color vinyl on a single color background (see below) or full color digital printing (see above).

Remember to check your local city or county ordinances to see if your banner needs to be permitted before hanging. In some areas a small fee is required to hang a banner and restrictions may limit the time that the banner can be left hanging.

For the most exposure, call SmartBizChoices today to get your "OPENING SOON" banner created and installed as soon as you get your retail space leased.
