What Makes a Great Outdoor Stand?

Saturday, July 17th, 2010

Outdoor displays have the particular capacity for being able to reach a wide range of potential customers. However, this does come at a price, and outdoor displays need to live up to the specific demands of outdoor usage, including durability and visibility.

As outdoor displays will need to survive in the great outdoors, it is important that they are given some level of weather-proofing. Even if you only plan on using outdoor displays in the summer months, the British weather is changeable, and therefore there should be at least some level of resistance to water etc.

With this mind, outdoor displays need to take advantage of suitable materials. In this regard, acrylic stands are ideal as they are not only durable, but acrylic stands are also lightweight, which means that they can be moved indoors at a moment’s notice.

Of course, whilst acrylic stands are a great way to display newspapers etc, they are not the only outdoor solution. A vending kiosk is also ideally suited to an outdoor sales environment, as certain kinds of kiosks, such as the deluxe kiosk from Tradewind displays, will not only give you a durable outdoor display for your newspapers etc, but it will also keep the vendor protected.

So, whilst acrylic stands are a simple outdoor display solution, they are not the only option. At Tradewind, we’ve got all kinds of great outdoor displays, so come and have a look and see what we can do for your outdoor display needs.

A Boards – tried and Tested

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

The modes and methodologies of sales and advertising are undergoing critical change. However, this does not necessarily come at the expense of traditional methods of promotion, and quite frankly there will always be a place for devices such as A boards.

A boards and pavement signs are still the most effective solution for outdoor point of sale, as essentially fragile modern forms of advertising and promotion have still yet to solve the particular challenges of outdoor display.

The most obvious of these challenges is durability, and in the UK we are especially familiar with the changeability of the weather. It is therefore not a good idea to leave a non-durable sign/digital display outdoors, as even if it appears to be sunny, Great British rain is always possible. With this in mind, durable A boards are perfect for the outdoors, as not only can they be quickly moved inside, but they also afford a level of durability. And this is vital when it comes to advertising to potential customers.

Of course, there’s more to effective pavement signs than inherent durability. And their relative simplicity also serves as a distinct advantage in an outdoor setting. As pavement displays have the unique challenge of advertising to complete strangers (rather than customers who are already in your store) they must be able to communicate highly effectively. In this sense A -boards, despite their simplicity, are hugely effective, and can carry simple messages/slogans that go right to the customer.

A-Boards are a great advertising tool

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

A-Boards are easily recognisable due to their special structure shape.  The frame of the board joins up to a triangular point at the top, giving them their A shape.  This A shape is what gives them the ability to stand up without collapsing when placed on the floor or a counter top.

A-Boards have long been a popular advertising tool because of their versatility and because when not in use they can be folded flat for easy storage.  A-Boards are light and easily transportable and can be placed in a host of different areas, indoors or outdoors.

We at Trade wind Displays offer a range of classic A-Boards with clean panels and simple hinge systems that are designed to display graphic posters unimpeded by frames or mouldings.  Logos, messages or images can be easily changed or updated with these A-Boards.  Our Double Crown A-Boards boast a plastic window on both sides of the board that provide protection for your posters from the elements or from ‘sticky’ fingers.

Easy advertising

Our A-Boards are specifically designed to house interchangeable posters on both sides which maximises advertising efficiency.  We also offer chalkboard A-Boards which instead of housing posters can be written on in chalk. These A-Boards are a perfect advertising solution for establishments who continuously change their product offerings as they can be easily wiped clean and used again.

A-Boards have long been effective in attracting the attention of passers by when placed in busy pedestrian areas, on garage forecourts, at trade shows and restaurants plus a host of other locations.  A-Boards are an economical advertising tool as they can be used again and again.  They are light yet sturdy and durable, easily stored and easily transported.
