Flags, despite being simple, are great for promoting businesses and events and everything in between. For this reason, we all see advertising flags outside retail stores, event venues, sports arenas, shopping centers, parking lots, and more. Advertising flags are highly customizable, which is why you see them in different shapes and sizes. Some of the more commonly seen advertising flags are:
3×5 Flags
This kind of flag gets its name from its dimensions and is unarguably the most common type of advertising flag used by businesses and event managers. Its relatively big size allows the advertiser to insert a catchy headline, as well as the business logo, way-finding directions, street address, or even a website address. Many of the flags promote brands and sales promotions. The most common ways of displaying these flags include wall mounted, street poles, and poles set in the ground.
Feather Flags
The flag gets its name from the feather-like shape that makes them ideal for displaying on sidewalks or in shopping malls without disturbing the free flow of pedestrians. Feather flags get a lot of attention because of their unusual shape. Moreover, their height makes them noticeable even from a distance amidst the usual clutter. According to E-Architect, feather flags are ideal for advertising where space is restricted. Because of their striking shape and minimal footprint, you can also install feather flags inside stores and event venues. To display a feather flag, you need to mount them on a pole that is then fixed to a base on the ground. You can have these in countless attractive colors for improved noticeability.
Car Flags
Businesses using cars or delivery trucks can use them to advertise their products and services effectively. With the vehicles moving all over the town, the advertising footprint of custom car banners is considerably larger, making them very cost-effective. Vehicle flags and banners are highly noticeable even when the cars or trucks are parked. Another popular method of using your vehicles to advertise is vinyl wrap which has a big impact, but is relatively costly. If you want a low-cost option, you can also consider a decal that can be displayed on the front or rear windscreens, bumpers, or sides of the vehicle.
Miniature Desktop Flags
Miniature flags are a great way of boosting brand awareness when the space inside your retail store, office, exhibition booth, etc., is less, and you cannot put up a large flag or advertising banner. You can place these small flags on desktops at the reception, the lobby, and even on the desks of the people interacting with customers. If you are sponsoring an event, you can also hand these small flags to the audience for them to wave and show their support.
Pennant Flags
You can display a string of flags outside your store or event venue to catch the attention of people passing by. These pennant flags can be designed and printed in gay colors, which makes it possible for you to use them to decorate the interior or exterior of your business. Long strings of pennant flags are also a common sight at fairs, exhibitions, sporting events, music concerts, etc.
