Create A Custom Event Banner In One Day
As an event planner, you know the importance of having the right marketing material in place before, during, and after each event you host. One of the most valuable live event tools you can invest is in a custom event banner that directs, informs, and instructs attendees. With the right banner design tool, you can turn verbiage, color, and design into a marketing message of energy, relaxation, or anything in between depending on the type and tone of your upcoming event – and you can do it in a single day.
Start your design day by studying our brief design tool tutorial. It has all the tips and ideas you need to maximize the design tool and create any of the over 300 marketing products you’ll find on our DIY small business marketing website. It explains the text features (like shadowing and color choices), explores the image library and easy upload process, and shows you how to layer designs and migrate completed designs from one banner to another. After you watch the design tutorial, get ready to design!
How To Create A Custom Event Banner With Our Design Tool
- Choose The Right-Sized Banner
Start by choosing the size and type of banner you need. Available sizes and options include our Single Sided Fabric Slipcover Banner, Vinyl Retractable Banner (Silver Econoroll), Vinyl Retractable Banner (SilverStep), and attention-grabbing Tubular Fabric Curved Display. We even offer custom flutter flags that draw every eye to them – and to your event. - Choose The Best Images
Once you’ve chosen a banner size, start creating a background using one of our predesigned templates or by uploading and adding your own custom background designs. When your background is complete, choose your featured images. Our image library is at your disposal or you can upload your own images like speakers, venue pictures, and event hosts. You’re welcome to upload the images of your choice, however, we respect copyrights and trademarks – and so should you – so please avoid uploading anything that might infringe on any existing rights and permissions. - Choose Effective, Compelling Text
Increase the effectiveness of your custom event banner by adding text – especially questions – that spark interest. For pre-event marketing banners, be sure to include social media icons, website URLs, and registration URLs. For live event banners, be sure text includes directions, workshop room assignments, and speaker highlights. - Additional Design Tips
These additional design tips can help maximize your banner’s effectiveness. As tempting as our image library is, avoid cluttering your banner with too many images. Strategically placed white space and bullet points make the copy on your banner easier to read and recall. Making your event logo and hashtag the focal point of your banner design will encourage social sharing. Keep your event in mind during the design process – a pampering event will have a very different look and feel than a pop music festival.
When you’re completely satisfied with the colors, images, and text of your banner, click save and submit. We’ll step in and take over from there. Our professional, award-winning, graphic design and production teams will create and deliver the banners you need to promote your event and increase attendance and enjoyment.
