Summer is the peak season for outdoor festivals, community markets, and corporate outings. But as any event organizer knows, the North Dakota elements, from bright prairie sun to sudden afternoon gusts, can be tough on your branding.
To ensure your event looks professional and runs smoothly, you need displays built for the elements. Based on our Outdoor Event Signage collection, here are the five types of signage that are essential for any successful summer gathering.
1. High-Visibility Flag Banners
When you're dealing with a large outdoor space, you need height and movement to catch the eye. Flag banners use flexible fiberglass poles and wind-rated mesh to stay upright and visible eve when the breeze picks up. They are perfect for marking entrances or highlighting key areas like registration and food courts.
2. Weather-Resistant Vinyl Banners
The versatile workhorse of event signage. Whether you're promoting sponsors or announcing the event name, heavy-duty vinyl banners with reinforced hems and grommets are a must. We use UV-resistant inks to ensure your colors stay vibrant and don't fade under the July sun.
3. Professional Canopy Tents & Back Walls
Your tent is your "home base." A custom branded canopy tent provides much-needed shade for staff and attendees while serving as a massive 360-degree billboard. To take it further, add a Canopy Back Wall. It provides extra wind protection and offers a clean, professional backdrop for photos and social media moments.
4. Branded Table Covers
Don't let a generic folding table bring down the look of your booth. A custom 4-sided table throw hides storage bins and supplies while keeping your branding front and center. Our covers are made from durable, wrinkle-resistant fabric, so they look polished from the first guest to the last.
5. Essential Yard Signs
For wayfinding and promotion, yard signs are the gold standard. They are lightweight, budget-friendly, and can be "popped up" in seconds. Use them to point people toward parking, restrooms, or specific stages to keep the crowd moving in the right direction.
Taking Your Event to the Next Level
If you've covered the basics and want to really make an impression, consider these "pro-level" additions:
- Mesh Banners: If your event is in a particularly windy area, mesh banners are the solution. The perforated material allows wind to pass through rather than acting like a sail, preventing damage to fences or stands.
- Vehicle Magnets: Turn your setup crew's vehicles into mobile billboards. Vehicle magnets allow you to promote the event all over town in the weeks leading up to the bid day, and they can be easily removed after the event.
- Custom Stickers: Everyone loves a "swag" item. High-quality, weather-resistant stickers are a low-cost way to let attendees take your brand home with them - sticking them on water bottles, laptops, and coolers.
