Banners and signs help you get the message
out to the public fast and easy, whenever you need it, but to grab attention,
you will have to make it visible. To grab more eyeballs, install your banners
and signs in really high visibility area, someplace that gets huge traffic,
vehicular or otherwise. Check with your local authorities, you might require a
permit from the council to hang banners and signs. Also, find out what the
local law says about the content and intent of banners. The next step is
installation.
Installing on Poles
Perhaps more banners and signs have been
suspended by poles than all other methods of banner installation combined! It
is of course the easiest because it does not need you to worry about punching
holes in the wall or doing any permanent damage to where it is that you plan to
install the banner. While hanging signs and banners by poles, you must take
care not to stress one side of the banner than the other. Banners are made of
sturdy materials, but there is no point in challenging its strength and lowering
its longevity when you can install it properly and have it last longer. It is
ideal to use bungee ropes that normal nylon cords for stringing banners, signs
because bungee cords do not snap easily, and it allows the banner to shift
along with the wind rather than sitting stiffly in the way!
Installing on Walls
The next most popular method of installing custom banners and signs is by screwing the sign to the wall. Installing on walls do
have a few downsides. Holes on the wall one, if you have your business on leased
property then the proprietor the other problem! Then of course, there is the
local law of the land that everybody must follow or get rapped on the knuckles.
On the brighter side, banners and signs stay well protected on walls then on
poles where the wind keeps ravaging them constantly. Begin installation from
one end and then proceed to the other, maintaining the level and balance of the
banner. To get better results, pin the banner down with battens along the
edges.
As already mentioned, banner manufacturers
make use of high quality raw materials to make banners and signs last longer,
but a lot of the banner’s life depends on how it is installed. Undue stress
could bring the curtain down earlier than you expected and if you spent large
sums to make your banners look professional, you should consider spending some
more and hire a professional banners installation team.
