Promote Your Candidate With Custom Election Banners

Election banners are a staple in any political campaign. Banners let you promote a candidate or cause in areas with high foot traffic, such as yards, street corners, and building entrances.

If you’re running for office, political banners remain an excellent way to promote your candidacy or announce upcoming rallies. They also boost name recognition: in a study we conducted in 2016, we found that 40% of respondents first learn of a local candidate through a sign.

How to Create Effective Political Signs and Banners

When running for office or campaigning for a cause, custom banners can be one of your most important promotional tools. Used correctly, they effectively get your message out and drum up support for your cause or candidate.

Here are a few tips on how you can design useful political signs and banners:

• Keep it simple. Too much text or graphics can be overwhelming and drown out your message. Pare down the details to the essentials: the candidate’s name, a catchy slogan, and the date of the elections. If it’s for a cause, think of a witty catchphrase or tagline that will evoke curiosity.
• Be consistent. Look at any campaign materials you already have. Don’t stray far from the colors and designs your party uses. Use colors that stand out and match your party’s branding.
• Aim to be visible. Make sure the font in your banner is large enough to be seen by anyone passing by. Keep it easy to read, too. As a rule of thumb, remember that any text at least one inch (72 pt.) in height can be viewed from 10 feet.
• Find the best place to hang or install your banners. Display your banner in different areas—against walls, on fences, or along busy streets—then see how it looks. Find a spot where the banner will be highly visible.

Think of banners as another channel for reaching out to voters. In addition to digital ads and print media like bumper stickers and flyers, include political banners on your list of promotional materials.
