Three Important Things To Remember When Ordering Your Promotional Banner

Promotional banners are a great way to draw attention to your business, especially during a sale or big event. Many businesses use them simply because they work at drawing the attention of all those who are in the area, whether they be motorists or pedestrians. However, if you are ordering a banner for the first time, then it is easy to make some simple mistakes because you do not know the system that well. Here are three important things you must remember when ordering from promotional banner makers so that you get the right signage for your business every time.

Format

If you have made your sign on a program that you have on your own computer, then you need to ensure you have used the correct format and that the promotional banner makers can actually print it before you order your banner. Most banner makers prefer you to use their own, on-site application to make your design, but if you really like yours, then you have to be absolutely sure it is correct or it will be rejected or come out looking strange. The easiest way to ensure this is by taking your files with you on a USB and going in-person to check with a sales assistant.

Size

It is very easy to make the mistake of putting your banner that is formatted in one size onto a physical banner that is the wrong dimensions. This can make your banner look very smushed or far too spread out. Making sure that your banner has the right length and width so that it looks normal on whatever size canvass you pick is essential. For beginners, it is best to either stick to the software on the site or get professional help to ensure that whatever it is you design will fit appropriately on the banner you want.

Text Blocking

Another mistake that many beginners make is putting text on your banner that is almost unreadable. The simplest way to avoid this is to make all the text you have white but with a thick black border. That design makes your text visible on any background or colour scheme, but it also can look a bit ugly. It is okay to experiment with different colours and fonts, just as long as you bear in mind what the background is and whether the text will be legible for people who are moving past it quickly.
