Ensure the logo/branding is at the top

With roller banners you have a lot of space to work with, so it is important to utilise it properly. One way that you can do this, is by always having your logo or branding at the top of the banner. This is important as you want your brand to be the first thing that potential clients and customers see when they walking around, so it is important to keep it all at eye level.

Readability

When thinking about the text and information you are going to put on your roller banner, think carefully about the way people normally read things. More often than not people read from the left to the right, so it is important that you stick to this with your roller banner. It will make reading the information you have on their a lot easier for everyone, as well as steering away from any confusion as to what the banner says. As well as this, ensure that you only put the most important information on your banner. The more text you add the harder it will be to read, making people turn away from it, so less really is more in this case.

High Quality Imagery

As roller banners are quite large, it is vitally important that any images you use on them are of only the highest quality. The last thing you want when it has been printed is for the images to be pixelated, throwing off the look and quality of your banner. To stop this from happening, it is important not to just grab images off Google Images and throw them on there, as the resolution will be low and they will also be set up for RGB. For images you will either want to use high quality stock images from the likes of Adobe Stock or use your own photography. As well as this, make sure that they are set up as CMYK colours for print and not RGB.

Strong Colours

The purpose of a roller banner is to attract attention and one way that this will happen is by making sure that whatever colours you decide to use are bright and really pop off it. The last thing you want is for the colours to look dull and the banner to just blend into the background. All of this will also depend on the colouring you use for your business/brand, however if you need to use darker colours, try and compliment them with lighter ones, to ensure you stand out.

Contact details are a must

Finally, one of the last things you want to make sure of is that you have included your contact details on your roller banner. This is especially important if you know that you aren’t necessarily going to be manning a stand you may have, so will need to provide these if potential customers and clients come across and want to get in touch about the products/services that you are offering.
