Less content – more impact
Whether your banner is in a shop, reception area or at an event, its purpose is to grab attention and pique interest quickly. People won’t stop to read paragraphs of text, so concentrate on a great headline and keep text to short bullet points. Remember too that at some events, you may have little control of where your banner is located. Keep your essential information away from the bottom, in case tables or other items obscure the lower area.
Use only high quality images
