When using roller banners to maximum effect, there’s a number of different factors you should be thinking about in order to create the most powerful possible approach. By utilising a number of artistic, creative and impactful techniques, you can craft a physical presence for your business that intrigues and draws viewers in. The whole purpose of a roller banner poster is always going to be drawing viewers in. You want a piece of graphic design that immediately communicates exactly what you need it to, intriguing viewers and creating a powerful first impression. This is always going to be key, and here are five ways to intrigue and draw viewers in with your roller banners.
There’s a million ways people have used posters creatively, from glow-in-the-dark to blacklights, optical illusions to realistic simulations, posters can be a whole lot more than just static, flat images. The key here is thinking about what you really want to be conveying and delivering through your posters, and how you can implement that in an interesting, intriguing way. Brainstorm ideas, the wackier the better, then think about how you can make these ideas real.
Let’s get a little more old-fashioned. Simply going with some really striking, high-contrast colour and design choices can make for a much more powerful presence. Consider amplifying the contrast on images, going with monochromatic colour schemes, or simple two or three colour schemes. As well as this, think about the colours you’re using, and the psychology of colour choices within marketing. There are bright primary colours, neon colours, and high-contrast light and dark options. In short, you want a design that sticks out in the crowd and draws the eye in.
It’s also vital to consider just how much content you’re including on your roller banners. You don’t want a crowded, bewildering mass of text and images on there, you want to be delivering the key messages and imagery in the manner that takes into account how long people will be looking at the poster, the distance at which they will be viewing and the purpose of the poster in question. In all these contexts, it’s vital to consider minimalism as the order of the day. Stylish less is always better than confused more, so keep a minimalist approach at the core of your approach and you’ll intrigue and impact far more people.
What’s the point of a huge roller banner poster if you’re not going to go BIG with your imagery and text? In lots of contexts, bigger isn’t necessarily better, but when it comes to making an impression, bigger means a more striking presence as well as a greater distance at which you can recognise the content of the poster. Go big or go home! It’s important to make the caveat here that if you’re creating a roller banner poster to support the sales process or for delivering more information, it needs to simply be functional at the typical range customers will be reading and engaging with it. Consider the purpose of the poster in question!
There’s nothing more embarrassing than having a potential customer come up and notice a glaring grammatical error or spelling mistake in your poster graphics. Nothing makes businesses look more amateurish than weak, wordy or aimless copy. You need tight, precision-engineered verbiage that understands its own role within the poster as a whole, allowing you to craft roller banner posters with specific roles within your exhibition stand or sales process.

When it comes to standing out and really making your mark in increasingly crowded markets, especially online, branding has never been more important. Getting your business’s visual messaging and branding on point lets you do more than just unify your operation, it fosters customer loyalty, drives authority, and turns you into a known quantity. From the power of colour psychology to simply presenting a polished, professional front, branding simply sets you apart, which is something every business needs.
Having solid branding has a lot of huge benefits, but first and foremost, it simply unifies your business. It gives you a visual language that can unite your physical materials, social media pages, marketing materials and website. This is always going to be invaluable for any business. One of the most coveted, valuable benefits of great branding for any business is brand recognition. Through great branding, used properly, you can start to cultivate real brand recognition. This is always going to be important, with studies having demonstrated that people choose known brands over unknown options. It can also help develop traction with other marketing approaches. As you cultivate real brand recognition, you’ll start to see more customer loyalty as well, which can really drive growth as a business through return custom and referrals. Having great branding is really going to play into the efficacy of your advertising and marketing too. Not only will it make it easier to achieve recognition and loyalty, but it’ll simply help you stand out, which with so many markets, especially online, being incredibly saturated, is hugely useful. Professional-looking branding, utilised consistently effectively enhances your credibility and authority within your niche and industry, quickly painting you as a unified and professional presence, with a great first impression. This is exactly why branding is such an important investment for any business.
It’s all well and good to talk about why strong branding is so great, but how are you going to actionably put your new powerful branding into use? Here are four areas where powerful branding is always going to stand out.
Standing out online is one thing but strong branding really comes into its own when used in physical settings. Let’s say you’re at a tradeshow or convention, having branding, visual messaging and imagery that really stands out is going to make you much more noticeable and engaging than any other businesses present. Coupled with quality signage, visual aids or big roller banners, you can put your message across while cultivating real recognition and engagement in physical settings.
Office materials and stationery are another really great use of your branding and brand imagery. These materials will instil a sense of professionalism within your physical premises, both for customers and staff. Once again, it’s all about presenting a united front that really drives brand recognition.
One of the key areas to really make use of your branding and brand imagery is your website and social media. Through utilising your brand imagery, colour choices, messaging and logos throughout, you can create an online presence that really establishes your business as a unified, professional presence. Bring to mind any big business and I guarantee their logo and colour choices will be right there, entwined with the idea of them. The fact is, condensing your business into a brand is a great way to really hone your professional presence, refining your business into a visual concept that can be displayed easily on social media or a quality roll up banner at a tradeshow. It’s that powerful, and definitely worth investing in.

7 ways to stand out at Your Next Tradeshow. When it comes to really making the most of a tradeshow or exhibition, you never want to be forgettable or boring.
at Your Next Tradeshow
When it comes to really making the most of a tradeshow or exhibition, you never want to be forgettable or boring. Connecting with attendees and getting your brand message across is vital, so here are seven ways to stand out at your next tradeshow. From giveaways to great roller banner signage, these will absolutely get you noticed.
Remember, presenting your business at a tradeshow is a vital opportunity to show off your expertise and engage with potential customers. The better you know your business, your audience, and the event attendees, the better you’re going to do. This means preparation and research, as well as putting your best guys front and centre.
If you’ve got a product or niche that features something impressive or attention-grabbing, take it along with you. Doing something unexpected and unusual is a sure way to make sure people take notice. If you’re in the tech industry, why not have a virtual reality booth? You want to be the guys that people remember from the event.
“Hey, have you been over to see those guys in the corner? They have POPCORN!” Want people to come to your table? Great refreshments are always going to be a solid draw. The goal here isn’t to attempt to feed everyone in the room, but if you’re wanting to draw people in before you engage them, you can do a lot worse than having great refreshments. Depending on the event, options like ice cream, smoothies, coffee, chocolate, or even cocktails can really drive engagement. Make sure this is appropriate at the event you’re exhibiting at.
When it comes to first impressions, there’s nothing more important than the right display. Roller banners are the perfect option, allowing you to get large, high-quality graphics and imagery backing up your presence and showcasing your brand. Roll up banners can be a great option for travelling with as well, taking up less room than other signage options while still delivering a professional flourish.
It goes without saying that it’s important to present a united front, letting potential customers know exactly who they’re talking to. This is going to boost brand recognition, as well as simply making you look polished and professional. You don’t need anything loud or extravagant, something as simple as a branded polo will going to unify your team.
We’ve all got plenty of ballpoint pens. If you want to be memorable, you’ve got to provide something either fun or useful otherwise you’re just giving away tat that’ll see the bin in no time.
Great useful branded giveaway options include mugs (especially giant ones!), USB sticks, shot glasses, notebooks, torches, tote bags, and phone chargers, but the more outside-the-box your giveaway is (while still being useful) the better it’ll be received. Fun options include things like plush toys, piggy banks, and puzzles, perfect to take home for the kids. There’s plenty of ideas out there for great giveaways, so get thinking!
Having great signage is all well and good, but you need to make sure your imagery and graphics are well-designed and presented. Make sure to make use of solid design and visual accompaniments, showcasing your business offerings while supporting your team doing the talking. It’s important to consider the purpose of your presence at the tradeshow here, making sure to utilise the graphics and signage to support your goals.
While you don’t need to do absolutely everything on this list, these ideas will help you refine and improve your tradeshow or exhibition performance, helping convey a professional and innovative business. Whether you’re going with the simple option of quality signage, a roller banner, and some fun giveaways, or going all-out, it’s always possible to stand out from the crowd and get your business brand message and ideas across.1.

5. Chatting Chocolate

7. Eye-Catching

Above: The world's most divisive sandwich spread has long boasted advertising as strong as its flavour, and this campaign to promote an extra-strong chilli flavour, is no exception. Can you spot the lid?
11. Dead or Alive
Above: Modelo beer celebrated the Mexican Day of the Dead festival with a series of vibrant, hand-painted murals with an AR (augmented reality) surprise. Viewers could hold their phones in front of the paintings to see them come to life.

Pop-up banners and display stands provide excellent advertising for your brand, especially at Exhibition Shows. For anyone wondering whether they should invest in some for their next trade event, here’s all the information you’ll need to decide.
A pop-up stand is a display that allows you to show a high-quality image, that can also feature products or services as well as brand information. It’s not to be confused with online pop-up banners, which are digital display ads. This physical form of advertisement is highly effective because it is low-cost and portable. Pop-up display stands typically feature a frame that can be assembled and disassembled with ease, as well as lights, a travel case, and the company graphic.
Like our other displays, pop-up banners are assembled from a portable kit or base. After setting up the frame with Self-Locating, Magnetic Locking Arms, simply clip the graphic into place to complete the display. At the end of your trade show, you can take it down quickly and easily by reversing these steps.
Pop up stands come in straight and curved frame options and can be several metres in both height and length. This makes them highly effective for Improving Your Exhibition Display. However, Our Collection features numerous sizes when it comes to display stands. Other options include Desktop Displays as well as a wide variety of Roller Banners.
Some of the notable benefits of using a pop up display stand include:
With Cheap Roller Banners, this is simple to do and highly recommended. We encourage adding unique images, Creative Text, and a call to action that’s personal to your prospective customers. You can read the steps to Designing a Personalised Display Stand Here.
H2: How much do they cost?

]]>Planning the perfect exhibition counter starts well before you begin assembling any stands. Promoting your appearance on social media is vital for raising awareness, as is sharing your spot at an event. You can also do some research about the Location of the Trade Show itself, as tailoring your display to a local area can help drive interest.
Arguably the most important thing you can do to prepare for the exhibition is to determine the right message for your display stand. Knowing your objective – what you are trying to sell or promote – can make it far easier to create a memorable and unique exhibition counter. Designing a Personalised Roller Banner often allows for more effective messaging.
Having aims for the performance of your exhibition stand helps you to improve both your preparation and your messaging moving forward. Thus, businesses should go into trade shows with some loose goals that can be used as an indicator of progress.
When it comes to the event, you should staff your exhibition counter with trained and confident employees so that they can deliver your message properly. Some behaviour tips for your team to keep in mind may include:
If you have an exhibition counter or desk within your display, try to make it look professional and enticing without becoming too cluttered. You might want a device that can relay information, such as a laptop, but you could also have:
The most important thing you can do to improve your exhibition stand is to leave trade show attendees with something positive and memorable about your business. Making your brand interesting to people is essentially what these tips are all geared towards, as it’s a vital element of any effective exhibition stand. You can find more on How to Make an Exhibition Display Stand Engaging Here.
Given how important physical advertising methods continue to be, getting the right placement for your roller banners remains vital. So, where are the best locations for your portable banner signs?
Firstly, not all banner signs need to be next to the storefront or your sales team. If you’re near a location that sees heavy footfall, then an Outdoor Banner can be hugely effective in signposting where your business is. If this is possible for you, then having a sign displaying your location or featuring the distance to your store helps your potential customers.
Placed strategically on your premises, a portable banner sign can be used to inform customers about the products you want to sell. Alternatively, you can display promotions, discounts, or offers that could drive people towards a purchase.
The above can also apply to portable banner signs that are directly outside your place of business. However, your message towards customers outside your store should be geared more towards evoking curiosity about what you can provide, rather than encouraging a sale.
Outdoor banners in this setting can be used to Promote General Company Events. These include grand openings, job vacancies, as well as upcoming events or promotions.
For offices, portable banner signs can be a great way to welcome new and potential clients into your place of business. Roller banners are very effective for relaying key company information and for creating a positive first impression of the brand.
Company events can still be an excellent time to deploy a roller banner. They allow your business to show appreciation for employees, or to highlight successes that you’ve had in the past year (such as awards or sales records).
Finally, portable banner signs are essential for businesses attending exhibitions or trade shows on a regular basis. Personalised Displays can be eye-catching and help you to stand out from the competition. Moreover, portable equipment such as rollers or Exhibition Stands allows you to create Engaging Spaces for people to discover at these shows, whilst making the experience easier and more enjoyable for your staff.
In essence, roller banner signs can be used and reused for a variety of purposes. And, considering that many of the above locations would share similar messages for your company, the portability of your banners is a necessity.
Whilst it seems a daunting question, almost every business goal can be placed in one of the following two categories: create brand awareness, or sell. Consequently, if you can decide which of these primary functions you want for your company banner, you can then craft messaging around a more specific sub-goal. This can make your copy more focused, helping to garner interest at Trade Shows and Events.
Whether you’re designing a Stand for an Exhibition or simply want an Outdoor Banner, your copy must be crafted for your target audience. Identifying what your average customer’s interests are, as well as what their perspective on your business is, can be vital. It should enable you to engage more effectively with the people that might like your brand, as you can promote company strengths in your roller banner messaging.
In your company banner, you want to try and find a message that stands out but also keeps things simple. The vocabulary that you use should be clear and familiar, as it makes the point of your text easier to register. And, if your message can be understood quickly, it’s more likely to be retained.
Finally, your copy needs to be worth remembering – the content itself must give consumers a reason to think about your business. Therefore, your company banner should feature text that is catchy, perhaps using a slogan, as well as helpful for passers-by. It’s imperative that you include a call to action, which could be anything from checking out your website to offering free samples.
We provide a wide range of company banners at competitive prices, which can meet any business requirements. We even offer personalised banner services, which you can Read About on our Blog. So, see our most popular roller banners for yourself.

From Roller Banners and Exhibition Stands to Paper Flyers and other prints, we can help your company to truly stand out. However, an area of our product range that sometimes gets overlooked is the Outdoor Banner.
As a result, we’ll be asking a simple question today: what are the benefits of outside banners?
Perhaps the clearest advantage of investing in these roller banners is that they are designed to be Suitable for Rugged Environments. This means that they can service your business for all kinds of exhibitions, including outside venues. Indeed, as they are designed especially for this, outdoor banners can make your exhibition more unique and professional when compared to competitors.

]]>It’s worth noting that this year started out with a fair bit of disappointment. In the first half of 2021, whilst the promise of vaccines was providing optimism, many trade shows had to be cancelled or rescheduled. But, when lockdown restrictions were lifted and relative safety returned, business were able to get back on their feet. Not only was there the return of physical trade and face-to-face customer interaction, but trade shows also came back.
Since then, the impact on businesses has been significant. Trade shows have provided the exposure that companies missed out on last year, whilst additionally providing a platform to reveal and promote new products. The value of the additional sales that these events have generated, and the New Customers That Businesses Have Engaged, simply can’t be quantified.
Companies aren’t the only ones to benefit from the return of trade shows, however. Many attendees (including ourselves) have missed the buzz around these large-scale events. They represent a great opportunity to find new suppliers and improve cost-efficiency or productivity. And, as a Trusted Roller Banner Provider, we’ve enjoyed seeing Unique Exhibition Stand Designs after a year and a half away!
Of course, the world has changed since trade shows had to close their doors in 2020. The ongoing effects of the covid-19 pandemic have meant that sanatory measures have had to be implemented. These have included the requirement or encouragement to wear masks, cleaning stations, and vaccine pass or text result checks. As we move into the new year, we expect trade shows will continue to evolve with the ever-changing situation.

This is an important question for any business that regularly attends exhibitions or trade shows. Roller banners play a vital role in advertising your company, products and services and such events. Therefore, the durability of your trade show equipment can be a determining factor in the success of your Exhibition Stand. With this in mind, here’s our advice for keeping your rollers banners in the best condition possible:
Before you even set them up, ensuring that you’re transporting your roller banners and exhibition equipment correctly can greatly reduce wear and tear. Roller banners are fairly durable in transit, but opening them slowly and avoiding folding when getting ready to move them are both recommended. Indeed, you should always follow the instructions carefully when it comes to setting up your exhibition stand.
With so many Excellent Exhibition Halls in the UK, there are great locations for you to set up a stand. But you should still consider the suitability of any spot. If an event is outdoors, for example, avoid spaces that could create a natural wind tunnel as this could hit your roller banners. Meanwhile, place items carefully in corner spots or other areas that have high levels of footfall to avoid people barging into your equipment.
Once the exhibition has concluded and your roller banners have been packed up, storing your equipment correctly is another important factor in preventing damage. Outdoor items need to be dry when they are put away, and everything should be stored in a location that isn’t too cluttered and damage from others is highly unlikely.
Lastly, if your equipment does begin to show signs of age, cleaning is always an option. To get roller banner graphics looking new again, simply use a damp cloth and apply a light brush. Don’t use any chemicals when carrying out maintenance, however, as these can damage the imagery further.
So, in no particular order, here are our top 10 UK exhibition venues that your business should aim to attend.
Perhaps the most well-known exhibition hall on this list, the ‘Ally Pally’ combines grand architecture with vast, contemporary event spaces. It’s one of the main exhibition centres in London and the Great Hall alone has a capacity of over 10,000.
The EICC has hosted approximately 200,000 delegates since it opened in 1995. From the National Children’s Conference to the EICC Student Open Day, this exhibition venue has plenty of popular events to look out for.
Glasgow’s Scottish Event Campus also hosts hundreds of exhibitions each year, with many being in top-level event categories. It features a unique design as well as a four-star hotel for those travelling from afar.
Opened almost 50 years ago, the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham is now one of the UK’s most-loved exhibition halls. This isn’t just us saying so, it has even been voted the number one exhibition venue in the UK, thus attendance at an NEC business event is essential!
With a range of events spanning from the Insight Technology Conference to The UK Drum Show, there’s something for everyone looking for an exhibition in one of Manchester’s most iconic venues.
A powerhouse when it comes to exhibition centres, this modern Liverpool venue is in the city’s famous docklands and holds numerous events annually. As one of the UK’s most popular cities, exhibitions here are great for raising brand awareness.
A stone’s throw from the iconic Lanes, the Brighton Centre can hold up to 5,000 delegates and has previously hosted everything from political conferences to gigs. In an area right at the heart of a popular tourist city, audiences for any event can be extremely diverse.
Known for the football stadium of the same name that it’s connected to, the Ricoh Arena is also a major location for national exhibitions. On top of sports and trade shows, it plays host to a hotel, leisure club, and casino.
Arguably Cardiff’s most recognisable building, the Millennium Centre is known for world-class performances and concerts. For businesses, there are also plenty of exhibitions to look out for every year.
With three sets of function rooms and a multitude of hotels, bars and restaurants either on campus or nearby, the ExCel Centre in London is one of the largest exhibition centres in the Country. Notable events include Sneaker Con and the Home Building & Renovating Show.
Of course, there are several other brilliant exhibition halls in the UK that play host to many more award-winning events, so always look for what you believe are the best industry shows for your business. And, once you decide on an event, ensure that you Create an Engaging Stall for Your Company.
That’s why you should choose us for exhibition equipment. From stands to roller banners, you’re guaranteed high-quality and bespoke, unique designs. So, for more information, you can View Our Collections Here, or Contact Us to make any enquiries.
For visitors, the cost of entry will depend on the event, but many shows are often free entry to encourage higher attendances. For exhibitors, major UK exhibition centres will change between £300-£350 per square metre. This means that most exhibition spaces are likely to cost £3,000 or more.
Exhibition stands themselves are often very affordable, with some bundles costing Less Than £200. Of course, some stands can be in the range of £1,000 or more, but the fact exhibition stands can be reused makes them an excellent investment regardless. View Our Exhibition Stands Here for more information.
Attendees tend to go to trade shows because they provide excellent networking and research opportunities. Meanwhile, exhibitors go to attract new clients and raise awareness for their brand and/or latest products. Read more of the Benefits of Exhibition Centres Here.
Whilst some consumer shows allow you to sell products at the events, many trade shows are more focused on promotion. Thus, the success of certain events can be measured in numerous ways. For instance, you could assess How Engaged People were with your Exhibition Stand, or attempt to measure how many follow-up calls, emails, or visits you received from these events.
This will depend on a variety of factors, including the industry you’re in, the quality of trade shows in that industry, as well as your overall business goals. You should always research any event that you consider going to so that you can establish a potential target audience. But, if you see real benefits from the expos you attend, then going to a few a year is highly recommended.
]]>Regardless of the size of the roller banner, you should always think carefully about where your core business message will go. Including your Company Logo in this is a must, and you most likely want it (alongside your business name and slogan) to be eye level with passers-by. Thus, placing your logo at the top, or at least two-thirds up a Giant Roller Banner, is highly recommended for getting people’s attention.
Images can be a great way to gain people’s interest in your products and make your company’s message more engaging. However, our advice for including pictures is as follows:
It may sound obvious, but colour schemes on your roller banners should match the colours of your logo and/or business name so that it is recognisable to the public. Using complementary colours is also an effective way of making your design more eye-catching, and thus more engaging.
Building on the above, add only essential information about your products, services, USPs, contact details and any other business details. This minimalist approach is likely to suit the overall design and colour aesthetics of your roller banner. And, something that’s easy and quick to read will be more likely to draw customers in, which should increase footfall to your exhibition space.
Whatever information you decide to include, ensure that a call to action is present. This could be anything from contact information to a free sample offer; your aim is to try and get a passer-by to engage with your business stall and remember your company. If you’re using a Double Sided Roller Banner, you can even have slightly different information present on each side so that your audience get to know you better.
The design features the history of the logos for social networks including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and more and you can see each time their logos have been updated since they were created.
