Banners and stands
January 25th 2011 07:39
For once I'm reverting to 'work' on this blog, after a long spell away from that theme. (You people who enjoy the quotes will just have to wait till next time.)
I've been watching a video in which a young man with a heap of hair shows the viewer how to set up trade show displays, in this case a particular model put out by a company called Post Up Stands. Like any decent workman he makes it look very easy, and the voiceover informs you that there are magnetic locks on the frame, which sounds a vast improvement over any kind of banner framing I've ever used. Usually you're searching around in the box or on the floor for screws that have gone missing in the set-up process.
The vinyl banners, even though they're put up in three separate pieces in this
instance, look very smooth (and indeed look as there's only one big banner). Obviously there's some connecting piece at the back which the voiceover doesn't mention, and isn't quite obvious from the short video.
However the end result is very good. As befits a good product the price is top of the line, but as long as you got plenty of use out of the equipment, I think you'd be pretty pleased.
For some reason something we saw in Europe nearly four years ago just came to mind: we were at the Hamburg Railway Station in Germany and, apart from being impressed by the double-decker railway carriages (we didn't get to ride on one of these unfortunately), I was impressed with the enormous banners that hung from the roof of the station. They must have been thirty or more feet in drop length, and I have no idea what they were advertising. (Attractive looking models of both sexes were what caught the eye, as was obviously intended.)
What would have been really impressive would be seeing them hang the things. Some task, I'd say, given the weight that must have been involved.
