In the world of physical signage, billboards are the queens of all visual displays, but they are closely followed by pole banners. These signs go by different names; you may know them as street pole banners, light pole banners, or blvd banners. One of their earlier names, avenue banners, denotes the origin of this kind of signs, which were first installed along Chicago’s Michigan Avenue during the early 1980s.<\/div>

Street pole banners were invented by a former United States Marine who spent a few months perfecting their design. The first versions of pole banners did not fare well in the Windy City because the gusts coming from Lake Michigan would blow them away. By the time the organizing committee for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics resolved to dress up the city with pole banners, a weatherproof design had already been adopted, and this was when light pole banners came of age. It did not take long for municipalities across the U.S. and Europe to start using custom pole banners to promote special events, and American car dealerships quickly followed suit.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
In just a few decades, pole banners have become ubiquitous forms of signage. We see them during the holiday shopping season or during festivals, but they have also moved indoors for promotional purposes. They are excellent alternatives to hanging storefront shingles, and they have proven to be versatile because they can be changed rather easily. These banners are no longer confined to street poles or utility posts; modern custom pole banners feature their own hardware kits that include everything needed to install them for situations in which you cannot get a municipal permit to use street poles.<\/div>

With all the above in mind, here are a few things you should know in order to choose the right pole banner for your business or event:<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
