As communities move into various phases of reopening, the events that people have enjoyed in previous years are taking place again. Some events and charities may be newly established as a result of the pandemic. But, after several months of cancellations and closures, the season for outdoor events is finally here. Fall is often associated with 5K races, Oktoberfests, fundraisers, outdoor movies, harvest festivals, art walks, and other autumn-themed celebrations. The most effective way to promote your event, in conjunction with social media coverage is to display custom signs throughout your local community. 

Bring new awareness and continued interest in your event by utilizing a variety of signs especially for outdoor events.

·         Event banners and flags

When hosting an outdoor event, flags will inform, direct, and inspire your visitors. Fabric, vinyl, and mesh flags and banners are affordable and require little maintenance. What’s appealing about these signs is that they draw attention to a function, but also move and flow with the wind. Flags and banners represent fun and function. Fabric signs are washable and reusable which means a return on investment with each use. 

·         Sidewalk signs, wall graphics, and window graphics

Get creative with how you display information to visitors. Utilize spaces such as sidewalks, walls, and doors by adding graphics. During outdoor events, there’s a lot of information to share with visitors. These graphics can be used again, making them an affordable option, and they are easy to apply and remove. Create a fun message for children and families to view while attending your outdoor event. 

·         Yard signs

These portable signs offer just enough space to customize your message, but take up less space than other signage. Yard signs are affordable and durable. Compact signs give visitors just the right information and can be created to reflect any branding or message. Consider utilizing yard signs for 5k mile markers, to direct parking and pedestrians to safe areas, or in other situations where weatherproof materials are necessary.

·         Tents

If you’re holding an outdoor event, tents will make your operation run more smoothly. Tents can enhance the event experience by organizing the flow of visitors and by protecting vendors/patrons from the elements. Additionally, tents create a sense of a store-front, giving vendors an advantage. Tents can be customized to align with logos, colors, branding, and more. The initial investment when purchasing a tent will pay off with your first event.
