Beyond Basic Banners: 4 Creative Ways to Use Light Pole Banners

Ever wonder why 99% of all light pole banner displays look the same? Old-school static brackets are a big reason why. With the right banner hardware, your street pole banner program can do far more.

Why Do Standard Pole Banner Brackets Limit Your Display?

Think of a static bracket like attaching a sail to the immovable mast of a ship. Rigid brackets can’t adjust in windy, inclement weather, adding strain to the system and making it risky to stack banners on a single pole. They’re also designed to mount to standard poles only, and the wind slits they often rely on cut into your design’s visibility.

BannerSaver™ is a spring-loaded pole banner bracket system that spills wind as wind speed increases, protecting banners from tearing and light poles from damage. When the wind dies down, the banners return to their original position. The spring-loaded system works with any bracket length, and is wind tunnel-tested to spill up to 87% of wind force in gusts up to 90 mph.

Different Applications for Pole Banners

BannerSaver™ adaptable bracket systems open up configurations that static hardware can’t reliably support:

1. Multiple banners on one pole: Mount multiple banners parallel to each other or in an X pattern to catch attention from every direction of traffic. BannerSaver™ wind-spilling technology reduces strain on both hardware and poles, so you can stack banners without risking pole damage, hardware failure, or banner tearing.
2. Building-mounted banners: Take advantage of unused wall space on storefronts, parking structures, campus buildings, and more. Wall-mounted banners extend your display beyond the street and help tie a location’s look together, and the BannerSaver™ can be installed via a bolt instead of banding to secure the system to a flat surface.
3. Unconventional pole shapes: Use BannerSaver™ banding on poles that wouldn’t otherwise support banner hardware, opening up more locations for your program. Heavy duty banding supports brackets on square, tapered, fluted, and otherwise unorthodox pole shapes, allowing a secure hold on poles beyond the standard round type.
4. Temporary event signage: Festivals, parades, sports seasons, and grand openings call for signage that goes up fast and comes down clean. Drill-free banding is gentle on poles, even historic ones, so you can promote short-term events without leaving lasting damage behind.
