6 Must-Have New Bern Outdoor Event Sign Ideas

3/11/2022 | admin

As the cold New Bern winter months come to a close, countless outdoor events will start to spring up.

Farmer’s markets, fundraisers, and church events are just some of the many activities that will take place over the next few months. If you’re planning an outdoor event in New Bern, consider the multiple benefits and value that your organization and attendees will get from having proper event signage in place. Read on to learn more about six great signage options for your upcoming New Bern outdoor event.

Benefits of Event Signage

Event signage is critical to ensuring the success of any outdoor event. There are a wide range of benefits event signage convey:

Attracting as many people as possible
Increasing your organization or brand awareness
Allowing your organization to promote sponsors in exchange for a fee
Help people find where they need to go

Without outdoor event signage, your event will quickly fall apart as people struggle to find the ticket booth or porta-potty restrooms. Below you’ll find six must-have outdoor event signage ideas.

Outdoor Banners

When it comes to successfully promoting an outdoor event, outdoor banners are the ideal choice. Due to their large size and relative affordability compared to more permanent signage options, outdoor banners offer a tremendous ROI. If you’re planning on holding your event in an area that’s prone to high winds, you can opt for a mesh banner that contains thousands of tiny holes that allow breezes to pass harmlessly through. You also have a wide range of mounting options at your disposal. Choose from cables, adhesive hangars, Velcro, and grommets to safely and securely mount your banner. After the event is over, simply wipe down the banner with a damp rag and store it for use at your next event.

Exterior Temporary Signage

Exterior temporary signage provides you with an affordable way of getting the signs you need without having to pay someone extra to install them. After your event is over, you can carefully take down the signage for later use at another date. Temporary signage is much more than a flimsy cardboard sign—thanks to the advanced printing techniques at AlphaGraphics of New Bern, we proudly offer the following materials:

Wood
Foam Core
Acrylic
Vinyl
Glass
Aluminum
Coroplast
And much more

Flags and Stands

Flags and stands are a great way to catch the attention of motorists and people sitting in traffic. Even the slightest breezes will catch the flag and cause it to flutter, and they’re ideal for promoting an event while it’s underway. Choose from a wide variety of stands and outdoor flags:

Panel and pole signs
Façade flags
Flagpole banners
A-Frame banners
Outdoor flags and stands

To ensure maximum visibility, choose from a wide range of options, such as:

Dying and screen-printing
Fluorescent fabric
Highly customizable shapes and dimensions
Digital printing
Custom-appliqués
Light-reflecting fabric

Table Throws

Table throws are an essential part of any outdoor event. In addition to dressing up an ugly bare-bones table, they allow visitors to see what each table is about. For example, if you’re promoting a farmer’s market, consider requiring each booth to have a table throw that lets people know what they sell. Table throws are also ideal for events that are on a strict budget. They add a sense of professionalism and are relatively inexpensive. Best of all, once the event is done, simply wash the table throw, and you’ll be able to use it over and over again.

Sandwich Signs

It’s hard for people to miss a sidewalk sign that’s right in front of their path. You can use them to enhance wayfinding, promote parking lot traffic safety, or ensure that people see whatever message you write. At AlphaGraphics of New Bern, our state-of-the-art printers can print vivid and vibrant sidewalk signs on a wide range of materials, such as magnetic board, dry-erase, or chalkboard. We can also create a sandwich sign out of Coroplast, foam core, wood, or glass.

Wayfinding Signage

Last but most certainly not least on our list of must-have outdoor event signs is wayfinding signage. How else will event attendees find a restroom, the ticket booth, or the first aid booth?
