Maximising Visibility: The Power of Outdoor Banners and Signs for Events

In the bustling world of business marketing, capturing the attention of potential customers is a paramount goal. Outdoor banners and signage stand out as a potent tool, especially when it comes to events. Their ability to convey brand messages, attract attention effortlessly, and ultimately drive foot traffic makes them an indispensable asset for any business looking to make an impact.

Strategies for Effective Outdoor Advertising

When it comes to print, sometimes you need to go BIG. That’s where Large Format Print can really help send a message. As we travel around our cities, towns, and even the countryside, we’re exposed to examples of outdoor print. Billboards, advertisements on buses, Posters in your local cafe… the list really does go on.

To maximise their effectiveness, careful consideration must be given to the placement of outdoor banners and signs. High-traffic areas such as busy streets, intersections, and event entrances are prime locations. The aim is to position your signage where it can command the most visibility and engage with the largest audience possible.

The strategic placement also involves ensuring that your signs are displayed at eye level or higher, making them easily readable from a distance. This not only increases the chances of catching the attention of passers-by but also reinforces brand recognition.

Event Signage Ideas

Here are some of our favourite ways to incorporate outdoor signage into your next event…

Display Boards

Roller Banners and X Frame Banners

Whether you’re hosting an open day, fair, fete, exhibition Roller Banners and X Frame Banners make the ideal Large Format print choice.

Self-Adhesive Vinyl

To welcome your customers in style, why not refresh a blank wall with Self-Adhesive Vinyl? This re-positionable matt PVC allows you to move your graphic around, or choose our fully removable Clear Self-Adhesive for more freedom. Removable options also mean you’re free to decorate your shop, exhibition stand or cafe as you please (without worrying about leaving lasting damage).

Posters

Whether you’re running a promotion, hosting an event or launching a new Menu – a good ol’ fashioned Poster shouldn’t be ignored.

With our Indoor Poster print options, you can choose from high-impact satin or velvety matt paper. Both materials help take your trade show walls and window displays to the next level. Or if you need something a little more durable, our Outdoor Posters come with industry standard water-resistant Blueback or a tear-proof, scratch-resistant Weatherproof substrate. Perfect for a longer term solution.

Ideal for outlining spaces, marking entry points, or promoting special event features, Feather Flags can be strategically placed to guide visitors towards your event or specific areas within it.
