Large-format printing for events in Southern California often takes the form of banners. Case in point is the San Clemente Surf Classic. Taking place on October 18, this surfing contest attracts local participants under 18. A family-friendly event, it is underwritten by the San Clemente Chamber of Commerce and other sponsors. The banners connect to form the back of a booth and the “wall” of a pop-up tent. Displaying logos and attractive lettering, these signage products are as functional as they are successful at branding.

Of course, it does not stop there. Banners advertise the Taste of San Clemente, also presented by the local Chamber of Commerce, as well as the Stoke-O-Rama. These events take place on different days and feature different types of lettering and graphics. Even so, they display well together for locals and visitors who want to know what is going on nearby. The crisp text and color selection catch the eye. Wind cut-outs prevent a banner from ripping or tearing.
Versatility of Banner Displays
Banners do more than advertise special events. In fact, they bring together communities for a wide range of occasions. They combine to form booth enclosures and to add pizzazz to pop-up tents. Of course, they also market and brand. Sponsors appreciate the opportunity to see their names and logos on special event banners.
That said, these signage solutions also fulfill other functions.
- Merchant announcements. “Coming Soon” or “Grand Opening” banners alert consumers to the presence of a new business in a storefront or mall setting. These signs create buzz and generate interest in a particular business or product before the merchant is even open.
- Special event signage. Whether it is a surfing competition, an annual school fundraiser or an animal adoption weekend at the local pet supply store, banners invite the public to attend and participate.
- Seasonal signage. With the winter holiday season fast approaching, banners make up the lion’s share of the seasonal signage that merchants will use to advertise extended shopping hours, deep discounts, the availability of new services, and other attractions that bring in shoppers and turn them into buyers.
