Custom Event Signage
Seasoned event planners know how important it is to create an event look that draws attendees in. Today’s wide range of signage options gives you everything you need to build an appealing event space that impresses guests and leaves them with a positive view of your company. With so many choices available, it’s worth event planners getting to know each signage type and what it can add to an event.
To help you learn more about custom event signs and graphics, we’ve put together this short guide to signage and graphics.
★Benefits of Using Event Signage
When you’re considering signage for your upcoming event, it helps to know the main benefits it offers. Here are some of the top uses of event signage and how they can help your event:
✔1. Event Promotion
To build awareness for your event and encourage people to attend, event graphics and signs are the way to go. Well before your event starts, you’ll know how vital it is to get people excited about it. One of the best ways to do this is to place signage and graphics where your target audience will see them. Well-positioned signs will spark interest in your event and make people more likely to attend.
⚙2. Customised Decorations
Once the event is under way, signage and graphics can supply the decorations needed around the event space. With eye-catching event graphics, you can dress up walls, floors and other key areas with designs that make the space feel like your own. Attendees will enjoy a far more immersive experience, as the decorations accent the area and create an atmosphere.
💡3. Sponsorship Opportunities
If you plan to have sponsors for your event, custom event signage gives you the space and materials to let them advertise. As well as attractive graphics, you can display sponsored messages on your event signage. Sponsorships can help cover the costs of your initial signage investment and may even help you turn a profit. For the business-savvy event planner, featuring sponsored messages on custom event signs is an easy decision.
🎯4. Wayfinding
Directional signs for events make sure attendees know exactly where to go. From the moment guests arrive, wayfinding signs will show them where to park and how to find the entrance. Because the signs are so helpful, attendees will have a positive experience from the outset, with no confusion about how to reach a particular section of the event. By preventing confusion, you’re setting your event up for success.
🚀Top Event Signage Options
Several types of signs are commonly used at events today. Whether you need corporate event signage or something more relaxed, the options below could be a perfect fit:
📋1. Event Graphics
Event graphics is a broad term covering several kinds of graphics that signage experts often use at events. Some of the leading examples include backlit signage, interactive or experiential graphics, temporary dance floors and step and repeat banners. Many of these signs and graphics invite attendees to take part, helping them get the most out of what you’ve planned. By using event graphics, you make the most of your signage and create a memorable event.
🌟2. Banners
Both indoor and outdoor banners stand out to attendees and brand the event as your own. Outdoor banners can be hung above your entrance, featuring eye-catching imagery and messaging to welcome guests. They can also be attached along the sides of buildings or to lamp posts to make walkways more attractive and generate interest in the event before it begins.
Alongside their outdoor uses, indoor banners can be hung over stages or set up on free-standing banner poles throughout the event. Interior banners serve both informational and decorative purposes, which is why they’re a firm favourite with event planners.
📌3. Decals
If you’re renting an event space or only need temporary signage, custom decals are one of the best options available to event planners today. Decals can be applied to a variety of surfaces, including floors, walls and windows. Their versatility makes them a popular choice among event planners looking to improve the look of their event without breaking the bank. They can be applied and removed from surfaces easily, yet they don’t sacrifice durability in the process.
✅4. Wall Murals
Wall murals are among the most intricate and beautiful types of event graphics available to companies today. They allow event planners to put their own stamp on the event space. On them, you can showcase your organisational culture, highlight the purpose of your event, show your company’s past successes and much more. As far as event signage goes, they offer some of the highest returns in terms of looking professional while also showing off your company’s personality.
🛠5. Event Tents
For events held outdoors or on a large conference room floor, custom event tents offer great value to the organisations that use them. Branded event tents are an ideal choice for anyone who needs to section off areas of the event space and draw attention to them. Along with their canopies, some event tents have sidewalls, giving you a large canvas for your message and branded graphics.
Event tents are especially appealing for outdoor events, as they can help keep staff cool and shaded on a hot day. They can also be used outdoors to set up specialist areas, such as a medical tent, concessions area, VIP lounge and staff meeting “room”, among other options. Whether they’re used indoors or outdoors, a branded tent provides significant practical value without compromising its visual appeal.
