Roller banner stands are hard to miss at business conferences and trade shows. While it’s true that their main function is as display stands for exhibitions, there are a full array of different ways they can be utilised.
In fact, we have managed to find 25. Really, though, we think you are only limited by your own imagination and ingenuity when it comes to finding great uses for these promotional jacks-of-all-trades.
Roller banners are handy whenever you need to inform, educate or just promote a message to your audience directly.
For Wedding Guests
Roller banners are perfect for using to inform the guests on your big day (or a whoever’s big day you are involved in the planning and preparation for) to give all the guests what is going to happen and when throughout the day. A more intriguing and quirky use for a roller banner would be to create a funny backdrop for those big group wedding shots, especially if you’re looking to do something a bit different.
For Photography Services
When attending special events, photographers can bring roller banners to clearly inform all in attendance exactly what they are offering. They can also be used as a display in their show window, if they have one, giving examples of previous work and projects.
Safety Signs
Just because roller banners are lightweight and easy to carry, it doesn’t mean that they can be used in fixed ways. For example, roller banners could be utilised to stop people walking into areas that are unsafe.
