Banners...Feather or Teardrop?

You want your car dealership to stand out from the rest. Motorists driving by should spot your business from a distance. If you’re running a sale, you want to attract the eyes of prospective customers.

Feather banners and teardrop banners are two popular car dealer supplies used to bring attention to your business. Both of these banners are great alternatives, but one may be better than the other for certain occasions.

The Shape

As the name implies, teardrop banners are shaped like giant teardrops or drops of water. One advantage of the shape is that you can see the whole banner. The banner doesn’t move around, so your message is always visible. Feather banners have a rectangular shape.

The Size

Teardrop banners are usually larger than feather banners. Teardrop banners come in varying widths, and they are usually taller than feather banners. Because of its height, a teardrop banner is more visible, but because of its size, a feather banner can be put in small areas.

The Weight

Teardrop banner kits are lighter than feather banner kits. A teardrop flag kit, which includes the flag or banner, a flagpole, and a ground stake, weighs between 5 and 10 pounds. Both the teardrop flag kit and the feather flag kit can be transported and stored in a tote bag.

The Assembly

Because of the structure of its stand, a feather banner is easier to assemble. One disadvantage of a teardrop banner is that it sometimes falls over in high winds. You can add bags of water or sand to help stabilize the teardrop banner when it is displayed outside.

The Banner

Printing processes can be used on feather banners and teardrop banners to give them bright colors. Both are made of synthetic fabrics, which don’t fade in the elements.

The Cost

Both feather banners and teardrop banners are cost-effective ways to advertise your business with used auto dealer supplies. How long do the banners last? It depends on how much they’re used, whether they’re cared for, and whether they’re stored properly. They should last up to three years. Teardrop banners are generally more expensive than feather banners.

The Use

Teardrop banners are best for indoor use, such as a showroom or lobby of a dealership. Feather banners are recommended for outdoor use, particularly in windy conditions.
