\"FASTSIGNS<\/a>As businesses and other organizations plan regional meetings, national conventions, fundraising galas and other large-scale events for the year ahead, there is an important opportunity for sign shops to ensure they present a consistent visual experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe average adult\u2019s attention span is shrinking, making well-planned event graphics more crucial,\u201d says Drue Townsend, senior vice-president (SVP) of marketing for sign shop franchisor FastSigns International. \u201cDistinct, attention-getting signs and graphics create a seamless brand experience, which helps attendees learn about the event and stay engaged.\u201d<\/p>\n

From banners to d\u00e9cor, wide-format printed graphics can visually transform a venue and make a distinct impact at different stages. With that in mind, FastSigns offers the following seven tips to help make the most of customers\u2019 corporate events:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Suggest promoting the event ahead of time with banner stands and other wide-format printed graphics.<\/li>\n
  2. Print wall murals, colourful table throws and fabric backdrops for use on the day(s) of the event.<\/li>\n
  3. If the event involves an auditorium, wrap the podium and customize further graphics for the stage (example pictured).<\/li>\n
  4. Use or add digital signage in strategic locations to promote the different activities that are part of the event (e.g.<\/em> meeting schedules).<\/li>\n
  5. Produce and install temporary directional wayfinding signs to help event attendees get where they need to go.<\/li>\n
  6. Print on removable substrates for wall, window and floor graphics, so the customer can display messages in more places.<\/li>\n
  7. Suggest thanking sponsors and attendees as they exit the event with A-frame signs and bow flags.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
