3 Effective Ways To Use Banner Stands Outside Of Conventions - By: Chris Harmen

It's easy for a company to think that banner stands can be used outside of conventions. It's a lot more difficult to understand how they can be effectively worked into a marketing promotion, and even more challenging to conceptualize using them in an office. While there are an infinite variety of ways that they can be used successfully, many business owners find that having some examples to refer to can be helpful as they create their own strategies.

Example #1: A Small Trade Show Stand Used In A Retail Store

In this example, consider your average retail store in a mall. This store sells simple, fairly inexpensive items such as clothing and shoes, and wants to increase the amount of traffic it gets every day. To promote itself, the business chooses to purchase several small trade show displays and banner stands, only a few feet wide and a few feet tall. These banner stands are then placed throughout the store to advertise special deals or new arrivals, and one small trade show stand is placed outside the store to promote its merchandise to passersby.

This is a way to use banner stands correctly. They are not in the way of customers, out of place in an odd setting, or overly informative. They are simply indicators, directing people to go find the products they seek. The store didn't overinvest; they bought only what was needed and spent relatively little money because the units themselves are small.

Example #2: A Business Office With Multiple Banner Stands In The Entrance Room

Many business offices have an antechamber where customers and potential business partners wait for the CEO or for other important meetings. In this example, the business invested in a large trade show stand for a convention. They heard that you can use a trade show display outside of conventions, and so they've decided to set up their medium-sized unit within their waiting room.

This is the wrong way to use banner stands and convention exhibits. Instead of incorporating it seamlessly into what they need, they've tried to find a use for it and it's just taking up space. Instead, they should have adapted it by taking just a single element, perhaps one banner stand, and using that in the waiting room. A full exhibit is just too much.

Example #3: A Commercial Gym With A Banner By The Reception

This commercial gym bought banner stands specifically for the purpose of advertising to their members as they walk in. They don't ever use it at conventions because they rarely have a reason to attend. The unit itself is small, but was deliberately designed to be versatile and allows interchangeable graphics as needed.

This is another good use of banner stands. The company didn't need any kind of convention presence at all, but they still wanted a way to promote themselves quickly and efficiently to their clients as they walk past. A small trade show display is the perfect solution, especially when designed to have its graphics changed so easily.

All of the examples listed above are just that: examples. You can, and should, use creativity to find the ways that will work best for your business. With enough time, you'll be able to discover ways that virtually any unit can help promote your company, both at conventions and long afterward.
