Scrolling Banner Stands For A Moving Message

Using banner stands in a tradeshow booth can be a very effective way of grabbing delegate's attention, or simply livening up the image of the booth itself. However, banner stands do have one disadvantage, and that is that for the most part they are completely static. But now this problem has been resolved with what is known as a scrolling banner stand, which enables you to have the graphic moving in order to catch the attention of more people. There are essentially two types of scrolling banner stand, and they are the top hanging variety, and the floor mounted variety. Each of these comes with telescopic rods in order that graphics of variable height may be displayed, while many also come with reversible motion, and a carry case as standard. This article will look at these points, and also discuss some considerations that need to be taken into account when choosing a scrolling banner stand for your tradeshow or convention booth.

The top hanging variety of scrolling banner stand is, as the name suggests, a variety which hangs from either a roof or a wall. The banner stand is fixed to the roof or the wall using the fixtures provided, and will then rotate the graphic depending on the settings that have been chosen. One of the big advantages of the top hanging scrolling banner stand is that the length of the graphic can be fairly varied. This is important when you want to display a fairly long banner graphic or one that is of nonstandard length.

The floor standing scrolling banner stand is one that, quite simply, rests on the floor, and is kept stable by a fairly heavy base. Unlike the top hanging banner stand, the floor mounted variety cannot display a graphic of a length that is too varied. This minor disadvantage can be offset, however, with the fact that this type is much easier to setup and to use, in that the graphic can be easily changed, or more easily than it could when using a top hanging banner stand.

Both of these types of scrolling banner are usually available with telescopic rods, which enable the banner to be displayed at various heights. As mentioned above, the wall hanging stand can enable you to display a banner of larger length than a floor standing type, though with the use or telescopic rods even the floor standing type can display a banner usually up to a height of 72 inches.

Scrolling banner stands usually operate in a continuous motion mode, which means that the graphic is displayed constantly, therefore giving a much greater chance that delegates at a tradeshow or convention will notice the graphic being displayed and come to look at your booth. Many of the scrolling banner stands on the market also come with reversible motion, which as the name suggests enables the image to be displayed one way and then the other.

In terms of portability, scrolling banner stands can be as portable as many of the other types of banner stand on the market, usually being sold with a carry case as standard, enabling you to easily move the stand around the tradeshow floor or place it in whichever part of your booth you choose.

As can be seen, there are many advantages to using a scrolling banner stand, not least the fact that an image which moves is much more likely to grab the attention of a delicate as a tradeshow in an image which is purely static. Allied to this, is the fact that these banner stands can often display banners of various widths and various heights, giving a lots of flexibility to your display plans.
