BANNER PROGRAM​

​

Looking to promote your organization, a milestone or event? Downtown banners certainly make a statement! It’s easy to go through the process and to make a difference in our neighborhood. DSI partners with Ace Sign Co to manage the program under a licensing agreement with the City of Springfield. Ten dollars per banner goes toward DSI’s revitalization programs.

1. MANUFACTURING

Ace Sign Co. offers top quality outdoor banners. Banners are usually completed in seven to ten working days. Banners generated outside of Ace will be considered for display but must fall within the specifications and requirements of the downtown banner program. All payments for banners should be mailed to Ace Sign Co. 

 

2. DESIGN

Ace Sign Co.’s professional design team will work with you to create the perfect downtown banner design for your organization. Quality appearance and content are highly regarded in our downtown designs. Any designs for downtown banners generated outside of Ace must be submitted for design review.
 

3. COMMERCIAL ADVERTISING

Banners are not available for commercial advertising. However, DSI will permit the lower 10% (bottom 10 inches) of each banner to list a sponsor. DSI will consider a business banner in the case of a significant anniversary starting in the 5th year and in 5-year increments thereafter.
 

4. POLE SELECTION

Ace Sign Co. maintains a listing of pole availability. Pole reservations are firm upon payment of the pole rental charge, installation, and removal fees.
 

5. NUMBER OF BANNERS

A minimum of 10 banners, enough for five poles, is necessary to maintain reasonable manufacturing costs. The number of poles is then limited only by availability.
 

6. STORAGE & SAFEKEEPING

Reusable banners can be stored by Ace Sign Co. for no charge.
