3 Questions to Ask your Flag Banner maker
- Where are your flag banners made?
- Can we get repairs done quickly?
- How long do your flag banners last?
Curiosity Message Flag Banners - Get Traffic Interested!
Are you looking for Australian-made or will imported from anywhere be good enough?
It’s a tough question.
Are you keen to support Aussie quality, or is it only a quick-fix that’s needed?
Will imported feather banners be as TOUGH as the ones Made in Australia?
For answers, do some comparisons between the two totally different fabrics – polyester (lightweight) against flag nylon (heavy duty used for flag making).
Compare the fabric rating of imported vs. Australian-made = 50 denier vs. 200 denier.
*** (Hint: the larger the number, the thicker the fabric.) ***
Hold the two samples up to the light and the differences are noticeable. One will last up to 6 times longer… not hard to see which one.
When repairs are needed, only the 200 denier can be matched to the original pattern to have fresh fabric inserted. (50 denier once damaged, is usually a throw-away.)
Consider that where printed banners are sold, those establishments won’t keep a seamstress on hand just waiting for the occasional repair. If the banners aren’t originally sewn on premises, then any repairs will need to be found elsewhere.
SEWN for toughness & easy repairs
How long do flag banners last? – is better phrased as “For how long will my advertising work?”
Consider that one newspaper ad. might survive 24 hours before it’s headed into recycling. That means that most readers will have seen your ad. just once for that investment.
Feather banners – solidly-constructed and using 200 denier flag nylon – offer 8 hours every day, in wind & rain, no sick days, no holidays, and without complaint!
*** Simply consider your waving banner as an unpaid employee ***
It can often be your hardest worker!
CONCLUSION – 400 days minimum advertising from ONE investment. Priceless.
NEWSFLASH… ‘SALE’ flag banners in two startling colour schemes!
OzFeathers has introduced new colour schemes into our extensive collection of outdoor signage banners.
SALE in April - Special flag offer
As a 100% wholly-Made-In-Australia company, we’ve unveiled these new colour schemes to our large range of outdoor display signs / flags as our APRIL Special Offer.
This tough feather banner stands 5 metres high when erected. The nylon feather flag can have a stand-out red background with the word ‘SALE’ in contrasting white letters for maximum visibility, OR feature a bright fluoro-yellow background with the message in large, red letters for a stunningly different impact – our APRIL Special Offer.
The flag banner proclaims there is a “SALE” happening in stout, vibrant letters. Placing this banner in front of a store or business will keep passers-by informed of events in any retail or non-profit establishment.
“The ‘SALE’ message banners are fully-sewn using pre-dyed flag nylon in bold, clear letters with a contrasting background so that customers can’t miss this important display,” said Linda Sanders, Creative Director at OzFeathers.
“The 200 denier flag nylon type 6.6 material used to craft this feather banner is the most durable for outdoor use in Australia, and is so bright that the ‘SALE’ message will be seen in all weathers (including rain), from a distance of up to half a kilometre, and even by traffic at speeds of 100 kph.”
OzFeathers’ APRIL Special Offer banner includes a fibreglass telescoping banner pole which keeps the flag’s message displayed in its distinctive feather shape, while still allowing for a full 360 degree rotation; traffic will SEE the ‘SALE’ message from any direction, on any day.
Continues Linda, “Unlike single-sided printed flags, the OzFeathers’ feather banner is always a two-sided display. When this 5 metre waving sign flutters in the breeze, it’s impossible to ignore from any angle”
OzFeathers has specialised in crafting street marketing and art banners for over 14 years. “Each of our uniquely-styled feathers is carefully designed and hand-crafted to specifically match each user’s needs – no two are alike.”
APRIL Special Offer – Order two ‘SALE’ from the two colour schemes above in April 2012 and pay only $370 plus shipping & GST. SAVING $170.
(International orders accepted – some conditions apply).
Customised ‘SALE’ designs are still available as shown here below, but not included in the APRIL Special Offer.
Custom designed - YOUR design choice
CONCLUSION – If it’s time for your ‘SALE’ – our APRIL Special Offer is here to help you!
NBN Co. fibre optic wins feather banners vote.
This blog is dedicated to NBN Co and the Willunga trial, one of the five first NBN release areas in Australia.
OzFeathers jumped at the chance to be included in the initial trial through Internode, and BOY! are we impressed!
Explosion of colour - NBN Co fibre optic WINS!
Before NBN and the fibre optic cabling, our internet was slow. OzFeathers customers couldn’t view their feather banner designs because files were often too large to email.
Sketched requests for flag & banner designs had to be FAXed in, because our Inbox might have exploded!
Thailand to Australia to Korea - colour in an instant!
But, no longer!
OzFeathers have been designing and crafting street marketing banners & flags in Willunga since 1998, all without a bricks & mortar shopfront.
“The internet has definitely opened up the geographical scope of interest for our banners” said Linda Sanders, Creative Designer.
“Where we once spoke only with local and intrastate customers, we now have a wide circle of global links, using Facebook and LinkedIn. This interest in a wider customer base has definitely blossomed since our NBN Co. connectivity.”
CONCLUSION – Could it be that Internet and Social Media connections will become THE way of shopping in the future, rather than currently as a diversionary option?
Would NEMO recognise his Tropical Fish friends?
Could these feather banners be advertising Australia’s Great Barrier Reef?
Or, a local tropical fish pet shop perhaps?
Over the Adelaide Cup Day long weekend we decided to spend time at Moana Beach, SA.
Clown fish Nemo-style swimming near Adelaide
— Why not set up our own FREE Art Display?? —
Moana Beach suddenly became an al-fresco Art Gallery and our Coral Reef feather banners (a 7-piece fish & coral mural) became beach flags for a day.
CONCLUSION: A clear message to pet-shop owners and tropical holiday destinations. These fishy display banners are exceptionally eco-friendly advertising – No tank-cleaning required!
Classic Cars, Dragon Boating & Kimba and their Feather Banners
Here’s an open invitation to come to McLaren Vale Vintage & Classic‘s special event on Sunday 29 April 2012. You’ll find them easy enough, just look for the bold, big and colourful 5 metre flag / feather banners. Bright DOES attract attention!
Want crowds? - try an Explosion of Colour!
Another group who asked us about flags for their Sporting Club was the Adelaide Sea Dragons.
Their splashy feather banners not only shout, “We’re competing!” but the BIGGER size instils fear in the hearts of their opponents.
*** A sporting psychological advantage? You bet! ***
When Adelaide Sea Dragons first contacted us in 2006 they were one group. There are now divisions in Adelaide, Ceduna and Streaky Bay. South Australian Dragon Boat Racing has even paddled internationally. Well done everyone!
We’re not big horse racing fans at OzFeathers, but when Kimba Racing Club asked us to design banners for their special meetings, we said “yes we can” immediately.
Kimba’s Christmas Tree Committee originally commissioned us in 2010 to create a set of Christmas-themed feather banners. The local Racing Club called early in 2011, wanting their own stunning designs.
*** Could Kimba now be the brightest rural township in South Australia? ***
CONCLUSION – Spectators to an event will always look for the biggest or brightest landmark. That probably explains why Sporting clubs (football, soccer, netball, vintage & motor enthusiasts) and Community clubs are huge FANS of feather banners. Are you?
Ampikas Kitchen Thai Restaurant, Willunga – STUNNING
Opening a new Thai Restaurant / Cafe in historical Willunga township gave Ampikas Kitchen owners a huge challenge.
With heritage-style buildings, how could they achieve STOP-THE-TRAFFIC with regular street advertising?
No teardrop, blade or flag banner could withstand the infamous daily Willunga winds so two x 5 metre feather banners were custom-designed.
Colours were expertly chosen to work like neon signs in the afternoon sun.
The constant waving now shows every car, bike, bus and truck exactly where GOOD food can be found in Willunga. Remember - two trips daily – going to work / school / activities and return.
*** TWICE the exposure ***
(Don’t forget the Willunga Farmers’ Market every Saturday, too.)
BEFORE & AFTER - unseen and HERE!!
Above left, “Where is the restaurant?”
Above right, “Here it is! Delicious Thai food with appealing good looks!”
Keeping the footpath clear of A-frames, fences free of signs and saving money on newspaper ads. (lasting 24 hours before being designated to recycling) the feather banners shout out… Head to Willunga, NOW!
CONCLUSION – Willunga – the place of Green Trees – and fantastic Thai food!
