Advantages and Disadvantages
-
Bandit signs have an advantage over banner signs in that they are not as vulnerable to the climate. Physical banner signs are flexible and can move in the wind, which can good or bad. Movement attracts customer attention, but if the wind is too strong, the message will be rendered unreadable to the consumer.
Function
-
Banner signs generally serve to welcome customers into a venue or promote awareness. Bandit signs are generally placed in areas with high vehicle traffic (usually near stop signs or stoplights.)
Pricing
-
One online vendor, Banditsigns.com quotes, as of 2010, a price of $1.17 each with a mandatory minimum order of 100 units ($117). A vinyl banner sign may run you hundreds of dollars depending on the provider markup and the dimensions of the sign. A professional digital banner sign may cost around $50. An amateur job may cost as little as a few dollars.
