Have your graphics designer create a banner stand with the following three principles in mind: Fast, Friendly and Free (Read the Tips & Tactics below). Plan your banner stand product selection and purchase based on your organization's future growth needs.

Compare prices vs features: Fit and Finish, Warranties, Return Policies
There are many choices available to the marketer via the internet. Compare the prices in light of the features. A higher priced stand will have many more features and be manufactured from better materials. Telescopic poles and quick change graphics systems are features typically found on the better banner stands.Make sure you get a warranty and check the return policies - even though your stand is custom printed a good reputable company will offer a 30 Day Return Program.
I recommend: You might be able to get a banner stand for less than $200 (as advertised on some sites) but check to see if the price includes the printed banner. I recommend that any purchase you make on the internet be from a reputable company. Check wit the BBB, they have a great Online program. www.bbb.org
