How To Design Attractive Sign Banners

By Mikael Smetterli


Sign banners can be seen hanging in the windows of many businesses and stores. They help in informing potential customers of the value of availing of goods or services from a particular establishment. They can be had for a relatively low price and are simple to use, for this reason they are thought of as an effective advertising and marketing tool. If you would like to design a banner for your own company, the advice and tips discussed below should help you with the task.

At the outset, it would be important to think carefully about the best way to incorporate your business' logo or trademark into the design. It is useful to enhance the message with eye catching graphics and strong colors. Try to select colors that contrast well and in the best possible way, for example light text would stand out well on a dark background, or dark text on a light background.

Always have a clear idea in your mind of why you want to display a banner. Perhaps you have a sale, or are launching a new product or service, that you would like to inform potential customers about. If you can put down on paper your ideas, creating the finished design should be easy and less time consuming. Remember that you will need to explain your concept to the firm who are to make the banner.

The message that is composed should be easy to understand, do not get carried away with flamboyant language. There are three essential components that would make up the design. These are your company trademark, the actual text, and contact information such as a phone number or website URL. Keep the text brief, preferably no more than a dozen words.

Before sending off your design to be printed, make sure you ask a friend or colleague for their opinions. Unfortunately, it is not unheard of for orders to be placed that have incorrect spelling. Never rush into deciding on the final design.

Another important factor will be the banner's size. Though a large banner will cost more to print, it can still be affordable and a great investment. The size chosen should be big enough to be read form a distance, and also easy to interpret when looked at up close.

Seasonal banners can be a great way to attract new customers. If you have special offers that are only available during the holiday season, the use of a banner can help to inform casual passer-by of the fact.

You should not leave the banner hanging for a prolonged period of time. By doing so it is likely to take on a weathered appearance that may end up having a detrimental impact on trade. Also, the longer the banner is left up, the more accustomed to it passers-by would become. Rotate or change the banners on a regular basis for the best impact.

Always ensure that the information is specific, general text may only cause confusion. If you have any doubts as to the design that should be used, consult a printing company for assistance and advice.
