Pop up banners are great to attract your target demographic, but only if you understand what attracts them – this requires research. Use the right colours and give the right impression.

Also ensure you have the right image (not just in terms of clarity and appeal to the customer, but also in terms of resolution).

Remember, you’ll need to be sure the printing process can handle your demands, so consult with the designer and printer in unison before giving it the go-ahead. It’s a tricky process, but also a fun one. Experiment, and consult with everyone. Be wise and have the customer in mind when designing your pop up display stands.
