New Business Signage

Opening a Business? Now What?

So many people open their own business but don't know how to promote it and let people know that they have a new business. So, if you're a new business owner, here are a few ways you can promote your business with signage.

New Business Signage

Custom Vinyl Banners

Vinyl banners can be used before your business is even open to create hype and excitement. You can have "Coming Soon" banners with your company logo and business name. You can also include the date you are expected to be open and the location of your business. Once your business is open, you can display "Grand Opening" or "Now Open" banners.

Grand Opening Vinyl Banners

Outdoor Signage

Utilize the space outside your business to draw customers in. Without the proper signage, your customer's will never know that your new business is open. Your signage should include your company name and hours of operation. 

Exterior Business Signage

We have a large selection of products including window perf, outdoor banner stands and flags. You can use the signage to promote sales events and promote your new brand. 

Window Signage

Let people know your hours of operation by displaying them on your windows! You can also cover the outside of your windows with featured products or services that your business offers.  Find out more information about our window decals.

Wedding Blog: Wine Bottles for Bridesmaids

Unique Gifts for your Maid of Honor and Bridesmaids to Be

Ashley has lots of unique ways to use the Banners.com product line into her wedding planning. Her first project was to ask her bridesmaids to be in her wedding.

Bridesmaids Wine Bottles
Ashley asked each of her bridesmaids using a unique wine bottle that was decorated with vinyl decals. The wine bottles say "As I prepare for the day that I'm to be a bride, it would mean the world to me to have you sipping by my side..." with the wedding date followed by "Will You be my bridesmaid?"

How to Make a Bridesmaid Wine Bottle

• Buy your favorite bottle of wine (or your bridesmaid's favorite bottle)
• Remove the wine label. The easiest way is to soak a wet cloth on the top for a few minutes to make the label come off easier. Peel off whatever you can and then for the remaining sticky residue Ashley used a green scrubby and water and the label removed just fine. If the label is stubborn, you can use goo-gone
• Dry the surface of the wine bottle very well
• Peel back half of the decal. Hold each corner to line it up nicely and then slowly smooth the decal down pushing out any air bubbles
• Slowly peel back the other half of the decal while smoothing it out at the same time

The labels were printed on a Calendered Vinyl with Lamination decal material. If you would like help creating your own wine bottles, please contact a customer service representative for help (service@banners.com or 320-965-9300), or visit our vinyl decals page.
