Banners

Need to draw attention to your storefront? Want to get noticed at an exposition, trade show or outdoor event? A personalised banner– easy to customise with your logo – is the perfect way to make your message unmissable.

As a small business owner, you’ve only got a few seconds to grab customers’ attention. A banner helps you get that attention. It is basically a piece of material with a design, message and photo and is usually hung in strategic public places to increase brand awareness or spread the word at corporate events such as tradeshows and exhibitions.

At Vistaprint, we offer flex banners that are durable and can withstand variable weather conditions. It is fade-resistant, tear-resistant and wind-resistant.

• Pick the placement

Before you start designing a banner, bear in mind the intended placement of the banner and the purpose behind designing it. This will affect the entire design, colour scheme and the message placement on the banner.



• Pick a size

Based on the placement and the purpose, the next step will be to pick the banner size. At Vistaprint, we have 4 sizes available. We have 52 x 91 cm, 76 x 122 cm, 76 x 183 cm & 76 x 244 cm.



• Use high-quality images & graphics

Pictures speak louder than words and so ensure you are saying the right things with the images you use.



• When it comes to words…

.....less is more. Make the statements easy to read, direct and short. Something that can be read from a distance and can be registered within a split second since your customers are on the move.
