Where to Place a Banner

Banners should be placed in high visibility, high traffic areas near the front of any booth or display. You want to avoid placing a banner near the back of a display as it will not be delivering its full impact there. Banners can also be placed at doors or intersections at trade shows in order to guide visitors to your booth.

Tips for Designing an Effective Banner

When creating and designing your next banner, here are a few tips to consider:

• Target your market's needs and wants: research your buyers and find out what it is that they like to see before they decide to purchase. Cater your banner's information to the information that they most desire
• Less is More: people don't want to spend 2 minutes reading your banner to find out relevant information. Make a banner simple and easy to read.
• Utilize Images: the age old expression "a picture speaks a 1000 words" is very applicable to banners. Instead of filling a banner with text, use a few headlines and then grab audience attention with striking images that are arresting to the eyes.
• Don't Be Afraid of White Space: resist the urge to fill out every space on your banner with content. Remember that less is more and that sometimes means including generous amounts of white space. White space can help enhance the content that you do have.
