Statistics on How Banners Work
Vinyl Banners are a powerful way to market your brand to local business. Did you know that every out-of-home ad dollar generates $5.97 in sales? According to the Outdoor Advertising Association of America, when out of home advertising is incorporated into the mix, it increases the effectiveness of digital search by more than 40% and print by more than 14%.

Vinyl Banners are a great way to motivate a shopper to stop into your business. Depending on the business, 15% o 45% of customers stop in on impulse. That could be almost half of your daily traffic!
A vinyl banner can grab a shopper’s attention and catch their business. 85 percent of your customers live within a 5 to 6 mile radius of your business which means that they see a banner 50 to 60 times per month.

- Wind slits – If you banner is going to be hung across the highway or at an area where there is heavy wind, we recommend you get wind slits on your banner.
- Grommets – there are the holes around the banner that help you hang it without damaging the banner.
- Tear Resistant/Weatherproof – if this is in a heavy traffic area where you think it would get touched quite a bit and used year after year, we recommend you print your banner on HD Polyethylene material.
- Canvas – this banner material is perfect for stretching. It’s ideal space is in storefront windows.
- Mesh – This material is perfect to hang on fences as it allows 37% airflow. It allows wind to go through without the banner bubbling.
