The Best Opportunities For Wide Format Printing
Share this article:
We’ve already covered why printing BIG makes a big impact and why you should incorporate wide-format printing into your current marketing and advertising strategy.
But HOW exactly should you incorporate printing big? Your wide-format printing strategy is going to be different than smaller scale projects; it’s not like you can pass a potential client a large poster the way you would a business card.
Here are some of the best opportunities for wide-format printing where printing big will have the most impact:
Expos
Industry specific expos are a great opportunity to get your business in front of the right clients and customers. But at a larger expo, there might be hundreds (even thousands) of exhibitors competing for the attention of your potential clients and customers. So in order to stand out, you need to make a visual impact. And there’s no better way to do that than with wide-format printing.
Print a large poster and use it as the backdrop for your booth. Have multiple pull-up banners framing the front of your table. You might even print a large sign to hang in a different area of the expo hall that points people toward where you’re exhibiting. The point is, wide-format printing makes a big impact and can help you stand out in a sea of exhibitors, so you’ll want to take full advantage.
Sponsored Events
If you’re sponsoring an event, you’ll typically have a lot of control over how the event is advertised and what print items will be used in the space on event day. It’s the perfect opportunity to really get your branding out there – and that includes large scale print items.
Print a banner to hang at the entrance that features the name of the event and a “sponsored by” section that highlights your business. Hang posters advertising your products and services on the walls. Use pull-up banners to advertise the event schedule and prominently feature your logo and branding. Put up a Media Wall to maximise presence for your brand in all photo opportunities.
As a side note, sponsored events are also a great way to leverage smaller scale printing. Be sure to have business cards on each table and if the event has a gift bag for attendees, be sure to stick in one of your marketing brochures.
Store or Office Fronts
When a potential client or customer walks into your store or office, you want to make a great first impression. And one of the best ways to do that is with a large, impactful piece of print collateral.
Hang a large poster of your corporate values in the seating area of your office. Print a large cutout of your mascot to greet customers as they enter your store. If you’re having a sale, print up a few pull-up banners to keep towards the front of your store letting them know which items they can save on.
Sporting Events
Sporting events and advertising have always gone hand-in-hand. But because there’s so much going on with the game, it can be hard to get your messaging to break through. And that’s why if you’re planning to advertise at a sporting event, you’ll want to go BIG.
Print a large banner advertising your business to hang from the fence of the local cricket ground with your company sponsorship. Print pull-up banners and position them by the entrance to the field. Look for big opportunities to advertise your products or services with wide-format printing that don’t take away from the game.
