Roller banners are great for your business – wherever you are!

If you’ve been to a trade show, conference, exhibition or visited various retail outlets, you’ve probably seen roller banners promoting all kinds of business, products and services. Roller banners get you noticed and at Northside Graphics, we supply a huge number of roller banners to customers who use them in all sorts of locations, including:

Shops and retail outlets

You’ll often see roller banners in shop windows or in-store, promoting products, services or special offers.

Bars and restaurants

Special offers, deals, events and club nights are often advertised on roller banners. Your banner stands really can go anywhere and that means you can put them wherever your potential customers are likely to be.

Trade shows and events

If you’re exhibiting at a show, a roller banner is a sure way to grab the attention of visitors and draw them in to find out more. Then you can hand out other printed merchandise and introduce yourself – and your business!

Business premises

Many companies use roller banners on their own premises; especially in receptions or other areas their customers will see. In this way, businesses can advertise other services or products they offer.

Choose from our range of roller banners!

We supply three types of roller banners to customers, so you can choose whichever best suits your needs and budget.

Silver roller banner

Our entry level, economy roller banner is perfect for short term events or for leaving in one location for longer periods. The quality of the stand and the print remains as high as customers expect from us at Northside Graphics. The price includes the printed graphic and a padded carry bag.

Gold roller banner

We’ve supplied thousands of Gold roller banners to our customers. Slightly more durable than our Silver stand, the Gold roller banner is great for use again and again. Available in widths of 800mm, 1000mm, 1200mm, 1500mm and 2000mm, our Gold roller banners also allow you to replace the printed graphic.

Platinum roller banner

The Platinum is our top of the range roller banner and features a space-saving sturdy base without swing out feet. This premium stand is 2150mm tall and includes printed graphic and padded carry bag.

They’re easy to assemble, light to carry and ordering couldn’t be easier! You can even download artwork templates on our website. To find out more about roller banners from Northside Graphics, simply visit www.NorthsideGraphics.com or contact us today!

Flyers are everywhere! In shops, clubs, events or even in the home, we see flyers on a daily basis.

Top tips to make sure your flyer stands out from the crowd

Flyers are everywhere! In shops, clubs, events or even in the home, we see flyers on a daily basis. They advertise everything from new businesses to events and services. We see flyers wherever we go, so how do you make sure people will notice, remember or even keep yours?

Established in 1988, Northside Graphics is Northern Ireland’s oldest digital printing company. We’ve nearly 30 years’ experience in printing all sorts of marketing material for our customers. Flyers remain an extremely popular marketing tool, so we’ve put together our top five tips to make sure your printed flyer really stands out from the crowd.

1. Write a great headline

A good headline draws people in. Put yourself in the position of a prospective customer. What sort of thing is likely to make you take notice? Your headline needs to immediately spark interest, grab attention and entice the reader to find out more. If you’re offering free services or products, make that clear from the headline. Don’t hide your main message in smaller text. If you do, chances are your potential customers will have discarded your flyer and moved on before they see your core message.

Make your headline snappy, catchy and immediately engaging!

2. Think about your design

We see flyers of all shapes and sizes, everywhere we go, so make sure yours stands out for the right reasons. A poorly designed flyer will devalue your message and portray your business as unprofessional. If design isn’t your forte, bring in a designer. Your flyer could be the first impression someone has of your business, so make sure it’s a great one!

3. Use only the best quality print

If you’re been out in Belfast, you’ve probably seen a huge number of flyers in shops, cafes and bars. Nothing will let down a flyer – or the business it’s promoting – like washed out, cheap looking print. At Northside, we use only top of the range HP Indigo digital presses to ensure the very best print quality, with rich, vibrant colours and sharp, clear images. That means your flyer looks perfect to you – and to potential customers and clients.

4. Don’t forget the essentials

Whatever your flyer’s main purpose, you must include all your contact details. Flyers and other printed marketing are great as stand-alone promotions, but they’re also highly effective for driving traffic to your website or social media pages. Don’t forget your web address or even a QR code as well as all your other contact details.

5. Use good content

Poorly written content will damage your business as much as bad design or poor print. Your content should be clear and concise. Proof check everything for spelling and grammar. While it’s a great idea to include offers or deals, don’t cram your flyer with too much text. Make it engaging and easy to read.

You can have your flyers in a range of sizes, weights and finishes. They’re all on our website along with the full range of printed material we supply. To get prices, order online or to find out more, simply visit www.northsidegraphics.com or contact our customer service team, based right here in Belfast. Let Northern Ireland’s oldest digital printers help you create the perfect flyers and to grow your business today!

Five tips on great business card design

Five tips on great business card design
Your business card is one of your most important pieces of marketing. Often, it will be the first impression a potential customer has of your business, so it’s vital they’re left with a good one. We’ve been designing and printing our customers’ business cards from our Belfast premises for nearly 30 years, so we’re well placed to help you produce business cards that will give the right impression.

Whether you’re happy designing your own card or decide you need some help with layout, there are a few tips that will help you produce the perfect business card to give out the right message about your business.

1. Use professional design
If design isn’t your forte, call in a professional. Cheap looking design or an unprofessional card will impress nobody and will harm your business from the start. It’s also important to keep your design and branding consistent with your other marketing. At Northside Graphics, we’re always on hand to help with all your design and printing needs and we’re based right here in Belfast, so you can always talk to us for help and advice.

2. Use the best quality printing
The best design won’t help if your business card looks washed out or poorly printed. At Northside, we use only high quality HP Indigo presses for the very best colour reproduction and print quality. That, along with exceptional attention to detail means that you won’t receive your printed business cards until our expert print team are 100% happy.

3. Dare to stand out

At Northside Graphics, we’re always thinking of innovative ways to offer our customers more. We’ve a great range of paper stocks, weights and finishes. Customers can have round cornered business cards and even choose foil blocking or spot varnish to really stand out.

We also offer lamination. If you really want to be remembered for the right reasons, check out our luxury paper range. Our expert team are always happy to help so if you’re not sure what’s best for you, simply call or contact us for advice.

5. Keep it simple
Your business card’s primary function is to remind a potential customer who you are and what you can do for them. Don’t try to cram in your company history or full range of products and services. Do include your contact details, logo and maybe a QR code linking to your website or social media page. Remember that we’ll print your business cards on both sides, so you can use the rear to show bullet points listing a few key services if necessary.
