Do Banners and Flags Really Bring In Customers?
Yes. A banner is one of the cheapest ways to tell people driving or walking by that you are open, having a sale, or hosting an event. It is big, bright, and easy to read from far away. You can hang it up today and take it down when the sale is over. Flags add motion. When they move in the wind, people look.
Think of a banner as a big, short message, like “Grand Opening” or “Now Hiring.” Use banners on your building, on a fence, at a booth, or inside your store. Use flags at events, trade shows, and parking lot sales. Add your website or a QR code so people can find you later. If people search for you but can’t find you, read why your business might not show up on Google.
Types of Banners and Flags We Print
Not sure what to get? Here is every kind of banner and flag we print, sorted into simple groups. Each one has a short “best for” note to help you pick.
Flags
Feather Flags
Feather flags are tall and thin, shaped like a bird feather. They catch the wind and wave, so people notice them. We print them on soft polyester with bright color that lasts. Pick one side or two sides, and a stand for inside or a spike for the ground.
Best for: Events, trade shows, car lots, and parking lot sales.
Teardrop Flags
Teardrop flags are shaped like a drop of water. A curved pole holds the flag tight, so your logo is easy to read even when the wind stops. They come in one-sided or two-sided prints.
Best for: Booths, store entrances, races, and sponsor spots.
Pole Flags
This is the classic rectangle flag. It hangs from a pole on your wall or a flagpole. We print it on strong polyester with your logo, mascot, or message. You can add a pole and wall bracket.
Best for: Schools, sports teams, clubs, and storefronts.
Vinyl & Mesh Banners
13oz Vinyl Banners
This is the banner most people mean when they say “banner.” It is made from tough, waterproof vinyl that works inside or outside. We can add metal grommets (rings) in the corners, rope, pole pockets, or hook-and-loop strips so it is easy to hang.
Best for: Grand openings, sales, events, and “Now Hiring” signs.
Premium Vinyl Banners
Premium vinyl is smooth with a matte finish, which means no shine. Bright lights and sun will not cause glare, so photos and small words look clean and sharp.
Best for: Photos, indoor events, lobbies, and banners people see up close.
Mesh Banners
Mesh banners are full of tiny holes, so wind blows right through them. That means they will not act like a sail and rip in a strong Arizona wind or monsoon storm. They are light and cost less, too.
Best for: Fences, ballparks, construction sites, and windy spots.
Heavy-Duty Blockout Banners
15oz Blockout Banners
Blockout banners have a dark layer inside, so light can’t shine through. Your colors stay bold, even in a sunny window or with lights behind them. They are thick and strong for inside or outside.
Best for: Store windows, building signs, and bright spaces.
Double-Sided 15oz Banners
These are printed on both sides. The blockout layer in the middle keeps one side from showing through the other. Hang it where people walk by from both ways.
Best for: Hanging banners, windows, and walkways.
18oz Heavy-Duty Banners
This is our thickest vinyl banner. It is made to stay up a long time and handle heat, sun, and wind. It also blocks light, so the colors stay strong.
Best for: Long-term outdoor signs, festivals, and big buildings.
Double-Sided 18oz Banners
Our thickest banner, printed on both sides. Put one message on the front and a different one on the back, like “Start” and “Finish.”
Best for: Races, sports events, street fairs, and big entrances.
Fabric & Canvas Banners
Polyester Fabric Banners
Fabric banners are soft, like cloth, and they don’t wrinkle easily. The colors look rich and there is no shine. You can fold them to store or ship and they still look nice when you hang them.
Best for: Stores, hotel lobbies, trade shows, and photo backdrops.
Canvas Banners
Canvas banners look like a painting on an artist’s canvas. They have a soft matte look that feels classy. They are a great way to show art, photos, or a brand story on a wall.
Best for: Art galleries, restaurants, offices, and upscale shops.

Banner and Flag Design Tips That Work
Use Few Words
People driving by only have a second or two. Stick to about seven words or less, like “Grand Opening Saturday” or “Now Hiring.”
Make the Letters Big
A good rule is 1 inch of letter height for every 10 feet away. If people read it from 100 feet, make the letters at least 10 inches tall.
Pick Strong Colors
Dark letters on a light background, or light letters on a dark one, are easiest to read. Yellow and black, or white and blue, stand out in the sun.
Plan How It Hangs
Know where it goes before you order. Fences need grommets or zip ties, poles need pockets, and windy spots need mesh.
Your banner should send people somewhere good. If your website or Google listing needs work, our digital marketing team can help. Hanging a banner on a building in Scottsdale? The city explains its banner permit rules.

Banner and Flag Questions
Here are answers to the questions we hear most.
How much does a custom banner cost?
It depends on the size, the material, how many you order, and how it will hang. A standard 13oz vinyl banner costs the least. Heavy-duty, double-sided, fabric, and canvas banners cost more. Text or call Markit Media at 480.245.4287 with your size, and a real person will send you an exact price.
What size banner should I get?
Measure the spot where it will hang first. Popular sizes are 2 x 6 feet and 3 x 8 feet for storefronts and booths, and 4 x 10 feet or bigger for buildings and fences. If people will read it from far away, go bigger.
What is the best banner for outdoors in Arizona?
For most outdoor jobs, a 13oz vinyl banner is a great pick. If it will be up for a long time, choose an 18oz heavy-duty banner. If it is windy, like on a fence, pick a mesh banner so the wind can pass through.
Are vinyl banners waterproof?
Yes. Our vinyl and mesh banners are made to be outside in rain, sun, and heat. Like all outdoor signs, the colors can slowly fade after a long time in the hot Arizona sun.
What is the difference between a mesh banner and a vinyl banner?
A vinyl banner is solid, so colors look bold and full. A mesh banner has tiny holes that let wind blow through, so it will not rip or pull loose in strong wind. Mesh is best for fences and windy spots.
What is a blockout banner?
A blockout banner has a dark layer inside that stops light from shining through. Your colors stay bright in a sunny window, and a double-sided banner will not show one side through the other.
What is the difference between a feather flag and a teardrop flag?
A feather flag is tall and thin and waves in the wind. A teardrop flag is shorter and round on top, and its curved pole keeps the flag tight so your logo is always easy to read.
Do I need a permit to hang a banner in Scottsdale?
Most outdoor business banners in Scottsdale need a city permit before they go up, and the city does not allow feather flags as outdoor temporary signs. Rules are different in each city, so check with your city first. Flags are great indoors, at trade shows, and at events.
How do I hang my banner?
Most banners come with metal grommets, which are rings in the corners and edges. Use rope, zip ties, or bungee cords through them. We can also add pole pockets, rope sewn into the edge, or hook-and-loop strips.
How long does it take to print a banner?
Most banners and flags are ready about a week after you approve your proof. Need it sooner? Text us and ask about rush options.
Can you design my banner?
Yes. We can design your banner or flag from scratch, or fix up a design you already have. You can also send us your own print-ready file.
Do you only print banners for Scottsdale businesses?
No. We serve the whole Phoenix Valley, including Phoenix, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, Glendale, and Peoria.
