Creating a big sign for a special occasion is part of the fun of having a party or a sale
. The best way to send a big message is to make a big sign - a banner. Banners are usually as long as they need to be to deliver the message. Height is usually 18 or 36 inches tall. Used for a variety of events, they are traditional in appearance with light colored backgrounds and bold lettering. They are mounted in a visible place for everyone to see. This includes vehicles driving by a business or hung in a park for people to find the right place to go for an outing.
Announcements
People won't know something unless they are told. If a store is having a grand opening, making a banner to announce it is one way to let them know. A special sale is cause for pause. When potential customers are aware of a sale, they are more likely to stop in an establishment. Custom signs should be posted for at least a few days to give people a chance to come in when they have time. The same banner can be used over and over for each sale if it is not specific to dates or holidays.
Homecoming
For military personnel, coming home after a long absence is worthy of a banner announcing their return. Whether there is a barbecue, picnic or just an intimate family gathering, hanging a sign outside of the residence or the party location is sure to make the returning military person feel welcomed and appreciated for serving their country. The banner can read something as simple as "Welcome Home." It is also an opportunity for family members to share the good news with everyone who has been supportive in the person's absence.
Special Events
Banners are a reliable way to advertise exhibits or events coming soon. There may be a beach volleyball tournament or carnival planned for the following month. Expos are another event that need advertising. The signs can stay out through the end of the event. Putting up a banner stand rather than a hanging sign is one way to attract attention. These are usually double-sided and can contain the same amount of information on both sides of the sign. For variety, a banner stand placed at the main doors of a convention center or outdoor event can feature two different messages. One side of the sign can have a welcome message to greet people on their way in and another thanking them for coming on their way out.
