How to Order Your Custom Event Display

Your business is made up of a number of crucial factors, and brand awareness is a key component for success in any field. Brand recognition is often the first step to driving performance-marketing goals, such as leads and sales, and it is invariably the special factor that sets you apart from the competition. Ordering your event display can seem like a daunting task, so we like to keep it simple and easy for our customers, allowing you to allocate your finances and attention to other endeavors. Here are our tips on how you can easily order your custom event display.

Be true to your business

Our first tip is one that delves into your passion for your company. As our products are made to last, we recommend thinking long term designs, something that would make you proud to use over and over again.

When coming up with a design, whether it's one you make yourself or one you hire a graphic designer to create, we suggest that it should stay true to your business name, brand colors, and logos that your customers already associate with your company. We recommend trying a couple of color schemes and branding images before landing on one that truly represents your company. To further learn about how you can make a memorable display, check out our blog post, “5 Tips For Designing Your Branded Event Display”.

Visualize the product: Think about the space where you will be needing your event displays before creating your customized products. For example, if your display table is against a wall, consider putting your most important information on the top half portion of your design. If your flag can only be seen one way (e.g. it is stuck on a wall), you would want a single-sided flag while a double-sided flag that can have marketing language on both sides, is better if it’s free flying. When visualizing the product, versatility is an important factor as the good design needs to be impressive on its own, as well as when it is put together with the rest of the branding products. If you don’t have a lot of space for your display, invest in vertical flags and banners that will allow you to share vital information about your company, while maximizing limited space. Your custom display design should look good standing alone as well as work as a cohesive piece with the rest of your branding assets.

#BeBoldStandOut by Ordering Your Custom Event Display

When it comes to displaying signs, we know that bigger usually means better. On average, you only have 5-8 seconds to capture your audience's attention. We recommend being bold and using big fonts to attract potential customers that are driving by.

Customize, customize, customize: Customization is not only based on your needs but can reflect the changing landscape of commerce and your customer's needs. It allows you to take full charge of your brand identity and image. Our clients have been getting creative. We have recently made displays and canopies for them that state that they are now operating as a “curbside pickup” or “to-go” business. To create your customized product yourself (based on our tips!), you’ll need to use one of our event display templates. The templates are downloadable and are labeled clearly to suit your requirements e.g. 9 ft straight flag (double-sided/single-sided). Whether you need banners, flags, backdrops etc, there is a template for you! Check out our artwork material post on how you can get started on your design.

To create your customized product yourself, you’ll need to use one of our event displays downloadable templates. The templates can be downloaded, and they make it really easy to fit your design onto each of our products. There are templates available for every one of our products — hand flags, banners, backdrops, and everything in between. 

Please note, if you’re working with our team on a customized flag that is a custom size, you will not find a template on the above page.

Creating Your Design

Once you’ve found your template, the next step is to create your design. Most people use our templates with Adobe Photoshop to create their designs, but other options are available like Adobe Illustrator. When you’re learning how to use a template to design your custom event display, you’ll need to make sure that you’ve downloaded the necessary software to work with vector graphics. Since you’ll be working with layers, it’s important that you are familiar with the software. Start early and spend time getting used to how it works!

If you haven’t used Photoshop before, you can follow easy-to-understand tutorials on the Adobe website. Adobe also offers tutorials for some of their other programs like Illustrator that can be helpful when designing your event display products.

If you don’t already have a logo if you’ve never gone through a design process yourself, or if you don’t have the time to learn how to use design programs or a downloadable template to design your custom event display, not worry! We have designers available to help you!

Working with a designer will ensure that you use the right color options from the Pantone Color Matching System, that you’ve created a vector image, and that your fonts are easy to read. There are many variables that go into creating the perfect design, so if all of these details make you uncomfortable, let us help. A designer can ensure the process is less stressful. If you are ready to tackle the design on your own, let's look at working with layers.

Working with Layers

You will definitely want/need to create your artwork on a different layer than the template. Our templates instruct you to “delete” the template layer before submitting the artwork design. This is a crucial step and one that can have a big impact on the design process. While you don’t have to be an expert at design, you will need to know some basic information about working with layers.

Since removing layers is one of the most crucial parts when you’re learning how to use a downloadable template to design your custom event display, you should be familiar with both hiding and deleting.

Hiding Layers

When you’re designing, it’s simple to hide the layers. This means that the layers are no longer visible to you while you’re designing, but you can still recall them if you need to throughout the project. This is a good option to use while you’re creating the design. Doing this will ensure that you don’t lose your work and unhiding your template layer is a handy reference when you need it.

Deleting Layers

Once you delete a layer, it is unavailable to the project. If you do this accidentally, you can undo it, but do so right away to avoid losing it. Once it’s deleted, it won’t be available to bring back to the project as it would be if you had hidden the layer. You may only want to delete layers when the project is 100% complete and you’re ready to submit. For more information on managing layers, please check out the Adobe User Guide.

Long-Term Event Displays: Reusable Designs For Long-Term Customer Attraction

You’ve done it. You’ve set up your business. You’ve thought through and perfected your personal branding. Events are planned and you’ve mapped out your sales year. Your current clients are helping you build your business through word of mouth. You’re ready to take on more clients. Your marketing displays and client interactions are on point. Now is the time to deploy your marketing budget to your company’s best advantage while keeping costs low, aiding the environment, keeping current clients, and attracting new ones through the use of a long-term event display.

Long-Term Event Display: How to Design for Reuse

We meet with a lot of event organizers who can spend 100s or even 1000s of dollars on sponsored printed displays for one-time use. We count on and love working with our repeat customers. It is frequently possible to save a significant amount of time and cash from their marketing budgets by planning and designing sponsored printed displays for multi- and long-term use.  

In your marketing armory, there are several variables that will not change regardless of changes in your marketing approach. When planning your reusable components you should consider deploying only the information which is unlikely to change or will rarely change on those reusable components.

Once we’ve created your sponsored printed displays for multiple uses, we will help you create additional pieces to be deployed on a one-use or multi-use as-needed basis. This approach is more ecologically friendly, leads to cost savings for your company, and allows for constant creative updating to bring those new customers to your business.

Planning Reusable Design that Keeps Attracting the Eyes of New Customers

While you have now created a customized canopy that includes your company name, branded artwork, and phone number. You can now consider adding textiles that fit each individual event you attend. Table covers, advertisement flags, banners, and backdrops can be made for each new round of #Hashtags, Social Media Handles, Sales, Games, or Competitions. 

Keeping Current Customer Eyes on Your Business

Among the best reasons to use long-term event displays is to make sure your current customers and potential customers recognize you as a specific vendor no matter which event they are attending. Consistent vendor attendance and display across industry events give customers a clear sense of the reliability of your business. It gives your potential customers the reassurance that your company is a developed, integral, and trustworthy part of the local and national industry.  It encourages them to become and remain valued customers.

Add to this a changing set of flags, table covers, new products, and new approaches to advertising, which will lead your audience to keep approaching and purchasing your products and services. 

Rebranding Meets Reuse

When your company decides that it is time to consider completely rebranding, All In Canopies™️ will still be here for you and your company. Your company can be thoroughly proud of reusing your textiles tens or even hundreds of times; thereby, keeping unnecessary waste out of landfills. Your ecologically sound decisions will also leave you the budget for rebranding and producing a newly rebranded set of textiles for future events. 

Long-Term Event Displays from All In Canopies™️

We pride ourselves on creating the textiles that will bring customers to your brand while creating less waste. By choosing to create reusable canopies, table covers, and banners to use in conjunction with smaller consumables-hats, stickers, and small banners-we create less waste. Lower financial input and lower amounts of trash at the end of each displayed day.
