Banner Uses

Banner Uses

A banner stand is a very useful piece of marketing equipment for any business in a number of different industries. They come in a whole range of shapes and sizes and have an even bigger range of different uses. Crystal Print are also really flexible in terms of the content of the banner and so you can choose almost any design that you want. Some of the most popular ways that businesses and individuals use banner stands are listed below.


At Trade Shows


A lot of information about your business can be conveyed on a banner stand which is very useful at a trade show. You can use the banner to tell people what your business is all about and what products you have to offer. All of this information will be available to potential customers at a glance and you will be there in person to explain everything in more detail.

For Special Events

If your business has a special event coming up then you can use a banner stand to tell customers all about it. You may want to consider using an outdoor banner for this purpose which can be positioned outside where it will attract the attention of people that are passing. You could also consider the use of double sided banners which will enable you to give customers twice as much information about the event.

Providing Directions

A banner stand can be very useful for providing customers with information about where they can find the help that they are looking for. This is particularly useful if your place of business has a number of different departments. The ideal place for this type of banner stand to be located is in reception or near to the entrance of the building.

At A Wedding

Banner stands can have many different uses at a wedding. If you want something different from a photo booth then a banner stand can provide an excellent backdrop for photos which can then be looked back on as memories of the day. Banner stands can also be used as centrepieces and table decorations. If they are used in this way then they will usually have a photograph of the bride and groom on. They can also have more practical uses such as listing the guests that will be sitting at each table.

At Impulse Buying Areas

Banner stands are available that fit on the top of table and display cabinets. These can be great additions to displays that you have where items are already on sale. If the banner has a design on it that you have really thought about, then this is a great way to get the attention of your customers and to convince them to make a purchase.

For all of your banner relating needs across Essex, come to Crystal Print. Our team will be happy to help in anyway possible.

How Vehicle Signage Can Benefit Your Business

Why Should Businesses Use Vehicle Signs?


Vehicle signage offers great opportunities for business, from increased awareness to branding on the go. So the team at Crystal Print would like to outline a few reasons as to why and how vehicle signage can benefit your business. We have worked within this industry for many years now and have dealt with a number of business looking to advertise their business effectively. Hence why we massively push vehicle signage for businesses, both small and large. Through choosing vehicle wrapping, you are opening new doors for your business, allowing you to branch out further and grow evermore.



So why should businesses use vehicle signs? Easy, vehicle signs offer constant advertising for your business, and when done correctly they can easily stand out on the road. Stuck in traffic? ‘What on earth is that...’ there’s one simple recognition of your business, which could easily lead them to be attracted to your business, your services and even an inquiry should they require your services. We’re huge supporters of vehicle signs and believe that they can showcase your business in a very creative yet professional manner. It’s all about standing out, getting noticed and making an impact on someone’s day, and with Crystal Print we can make sure you tick all three boxes!

From increasing your brand reach and awareness to having a sales approach that doesn’t come across as negative or ‘pushy’ your signage will work wonders. It can be creative, entertaining, attractive or simply just your business’s branding, but all of which can push your advertising further. Some of the main benefits of vehicle signage include:

  • 24 hour advertising
  • Your van goes where you go, increased awareness
  • If you travel far daily, your business will be recognised in more places
  • The signage will pay for itself in the inquires you receive
  • Only maintenance required is a good clean!
  • No ‘pushy’ sales approach

The Importance of Work Clothing

With 2017 set to be increasing the level of professionalism in the workplace, Crystal Print would like to demonstrate an unbiased opinion when it comes to work uniform. As an employee, you may not see the difference it can make on a company to have all of their staff branded in uniformed clothing, but we have a few points to help illustrate why work uniform is a common factor in most businesses. The importance of work clothing not only indicates a higher sense of professionalism within a business, but helps form a community rather than just a place of work, as you will see in this post we have many reasons why work clothing is used within business.

You may see work clothing is a deterrent of being able to express your style or wear more comfortable clothing, but in fact the reasons behind this is much deeper. Would you be willing to spend money on a new dress or pair of trainers without seeing the product? Probably not. So not only for brand awareness does uniformed clothing help, but it helps distinguish who is actually a part of that particular business. Upon buying something for yourself in a store, you would expect to be able to point out who worked there, so that you could ask them a question if you needed to. This would mean that they would need to wear a uniform in order to be recognised.



Why Do We Wear Uniforms for Work?

For a number of reasons, work uniform is a brilliant asset to any company. From the commute to work you are showcasing the brand and showing that you’re proud to be a part of the company, to having clients come into your office or shop and they can instantly recognise you. We at Crystal Print have been printing clothing for work purposes for a number of years now and believe there to be a number of reasons why uniforms are used in business, including:

  • Everyone is presented the same and there is no one who will be left out
  • A uniforms allows clients to recognise your business
  • Work outings (events/meetings) can ensure your business is well represented
  • Increased brand awareness
  • Staff will feel that they are part of the company and worthwhile being there
  • Added professionalism to entire company
  • No reason for inappropriate / casual clothing


Now that you have clear reasons why uniforms are used from a different perspective, how do you feel about wearing them yourself? From the above points you will be able to understand that it gives a much better representation of the business and avoids any clothing that can be considered inappropriate. Crystal Print believe that work uniforms are a brilliant rule of thumb for any business as it always ensures that staff are dressed correctly and you know that the staff within your company will be proud of what they wear. All that’s left to do now is to order your work uniforms from Crystal Print!
