Banner Advertising in Athlone? Why it makes sense…
How to get a good Banner to promote your business
There are a number of ways that you can promote your business or events around Roscommon and Westmeath. You could create online ads, use hoardings, or use a vehicle in a field on the M6 near Athlone. With this recession, local companies are finding it difficult keeping their business afloat; and may not be open to the extra expence of signage advertising. Thats why we are proposing that people consider Banner Advertising. Banners are now being seen more and more around Athlone. The are very versatile, they are flexible, they are easy to install and also move and take down. If you have a business in Athlone, and you need to attract in more customers on a low budget, call us at Spectrum Signs because Banner advertising could be the solution for you.
Before you start work on your Banner Advertising, you need to look at a few factors – Where will you get the most
exposure around Athlone for your banner, where will the majority of people see it and take in the message – Are there locations in Athlone that you can use for temporary banner Advertising. What exactly will you say on the banner – It should generally be a call to action like “Come to our Restaurant in Athlone today” or “XYZ Company – Athlones largest retailer of abc produce – Call in now”
One of the things that you need to consider are the colours that you use. Its important that the Banner gives a message which is vibrant to the people of Athlone. A buyers’ eyes will go to your banner, and will hopefully attract them to your store – Or, maybe you just need them to call you – If so place your phone number in big writing.
One of the problems in the past with banners was that they could not be seen at night. Not so any more – if you drive around Athlone you will see many of our Spectrum Signs Installed Banners with Reflective Text which makes them equally useful at night.
If you consider the cost of an ad in the local paper – €400 for a quarter page, seen for one day only – Compare that with a 10”x4” banner for €120 – seen every day by thousands of customers – its an easy decision. Call Spectrum Signs today 1800 28 30 66 today for all your banners.

Advertise while you drive with Spectrum Signs
Vehicle advertising is one of the most cost-effective advertising tools available to small businesses. With distinctive, creative signage your company vehicle or shop truck will send the message to potential clients that your company takes pride in its work, is neat and professional, and is also an established and reputable company.
Whether you completely ‘wrap’ a vehicle, or have simple signage is dependent on both your budget & the effect you wish to create. The main thing is to be noticed. Just think for a moment, your vehicle gets seen by hundreds of people every time you drive it.
Don’t miss an opportunity to advance your company or to simply beautify your vehicle.
Vehicle signage is a good idea whether you have just one vehicle or an entire fleet.
