Banner Displays

In 2015, a permanent feature banner frame with a professional pulley system was installed by the Chamber on the northwest corner of the Cashiers Crossroads for the purpose of promoting non-profit organization events. Banners must adhere to specific guidelines, including content, graphics, dimensions, pole pockets, wind slits, and lettering information detailed below. The Cashiers Area Chamber maintains the banner hanging schedule, and any banner display is subject to Chamber approval.

BANNERS MUST BE ONE-SIDED ONLY, EXACTLY 4’ BY 12’, HAVE 3” TOP AND BOTTOM ROD POCKETS (NO GROMMETS) AND INCLUDE WIND SLITS. NO EXCEPTIONS. POLES AND CONNECTIONS WILL BE PROVIDED AND WILL REMAIN ON SITE. Banner quotes are available with Chamber member PlateauPro (828) 371-5780.

Helpful Hints & Requirements for Messaging & Readability

INFORMATION - Feature your event name, organization, location & date prominently on your banner. Provide additional contact information such as website address. County regulations do not allow any commercialism. Non-profit activity information must be the predominant graphic.

FONT STYLE & SIZE - Use a boldface font 4” high or larger, with contrast colors, and sufficient spacing for readability.

COLOR SCHEME - Black, red, or white lettering against a contrasting background will increase your visibility by more than 10%

CUSTOMIZATION - Use adhesive vinyl lettering for dates or times for easy, cost-effective changes year to year.

GRAPHICS - Use 300 dpi high-resolution graphics to avoid pixelation

For additional exposure, add event information to www.Cashiers411.com - the online community calendar hosted by the Cashiers Area Chamber.
