4. Self-Promotion: Just make sure you can’t get in trouble for placing the flag banners where they don’t belong.
5. Advertise your company: which is different from the above because you’re company isn’t just you (unless it is).
6. Celebrate the 4th: It’s this Sunday! Do you have flag banners ready?
7. Support your team: Printed banners at the game will definitely make the cameraman choose you for the spot in between commercials and play.

Top 4 Places to Hang Wedding Banners

With summer around again, it’s wedding season. To commemorate the union of two friends or loved ones, nothing does the job like outdoor banners. Flag banners are a great way to display a message, so follow these tips to make the happy couple feel even more special.

1. Back of the car: You can customize a picture of the “Just Married” couple and fit it to the back window or you can make a flag banner and attach it to the car so that it flutters in the wind.

2. Outside of the reception: Hanging the banner outside of the reception area is a great way to show off. You can hang it on the road too, so that everyone driving past knows who the bride and groom are, or if there is another locale on the route of the couple, call ahead to see if you can hang it outside.

3. Their House: Outside of the couple’s home is a great place to hang outdoor banners – all the neighbors will see and bring them fruitcakes and other wedding presents.

4. Honeymoon: If you really want to be subtle, you can send the banner to the hotel where the couple is staying and ask the manager to hang it in their room. This can be one of the most surprising places to find customized vinyl banners.

No matter where you hang it, make sure someone saves the banner - it's a great way to remember a once in a lifetime event.

What Printed Banners Can Do For You

Printed banners can do a lot for a business. They send a message to the world, and show people that your company is one to be reckoned with. Flag banners, customized vinyl banners, outdoor banners – all of them give light to you.

Getting creative with printing is a great way to stand apart from the crowd. Color and humor are two very important ways to reach an audience that otherwise will walk past. To reach people it’s important to think about what grabs your own attention, and apply that technique to your outdoor banners.

Banners are the best way to make yourself known. When they flap in the wind they command attention, and people loving hearing the thwap of a banner whipping back and forth. There’s something very patriotic about it – you know the song “The Star Spangled BANNER,” a.k.a. the ol’ national anthem. Thus the correlation between patriotism and your company comes into being, and pretty soon, people are buying your stuff in order to feel American. These psychological nuances do exist, however subconsciously.

Flying a banner is a great way to become a top seller in your industry and to give people inspiration to buy American.

America's Pastime

Baseball remains America’s favorite pastime. Few things rival the beauty of a white leather ball with red stitches as it sits on the fresh green turf, waiting to be picked up and thrown, caught by a well broken in mitt.

Some may say it’s boring, but they don’t realize the game’s intricacies. The players, and good fans, know all about what could happen when a runner’s on base or when there’s an infield fly. Some people just want action, and in that case, they should turn to basketball.

But part of the game’s beauty is that it is played outdoors, and not only that, but it requires nice weather. When the sun is shining bright and the dirt of the infield is moist and brown and the bases are white and clean, and the wind whips the stadium flags high above, then you know that it’s time to play ball.

Those stadium flags are really something. Do you know who designs them? Chances are it’s Five Boro Banner & Sign. They also have vinyl banner printing and outdoor banners for all occasions. Playing baseball without some team spirit wouldn’t be the same. That’s why flag banners are as American as the game itself.
