Custom Flags Buying Guide for Businesses, Schools & Government

The biggest benefit of nylon is that it’s a durable material that can withstand moderate wind and weather conditions, while maintaining color richness and a soft feel. For example, if you’d like to hang a large flag above the outdoor entrance to your office building in an area with low to moderate wind, we recommend nylon. As long as the flag is well made, with Nyl-Glo nylon in particular, it will hold up on days with slightly harsher weather while still blowing beautifully in the wind and looking great close-up to passersby. If you’re not as interested in a flag waving in the breeze and want to express your patriotism indoors, nylon is also a great choice. An indoor flag would look wonderful on a standalone flagpole in a meeting room or hanging on a wall in a waiting room.

1. Round-the-clock brand awareness. Custom flags for your business can be flown 24/7, not just on business days. That means your brand gets maximum exposure. Billboards or print ads that require you to pay for a specific length of advertising time. But flying custom flags gives you the freedom to advertise your business for however long you like. In short, custom flags help you promote your brand around the clock and to as many people as possible.
2. Set-it-and-forget-it maintenance. Custom flags are one of the easiest physical assets to maintain. They are easy to set up, monitor and take down. All you need to do is inspect them regularly for rips or tears that could turn into bigger problems later, and repair or replace them as needed. The frequency of your maintenance will depend on several factors. For example, for an outdoor flag flown in an area with harsher weather conditions, you’ll want to inspect it at least every month. For custom flags displayed primarily indoors, inspecting your flags every three months is typically adequate.
3. Perfect for all types of environments. Custom flags are multi-purpose. You can fly them not only in front of your brick-and-mortar store, but also in a variety of other environments. It’s easy to display your business flags in parades, community events, conferences and trade shows, company parties and more. Your company’s presence at these events will boost your brand awareness and inspire positive feelings about your business.
4. Versatile.The beauty of custom flags is that they never go out of style and don’t need to be updated often. When you design them with your company branding, you can display them just about anywhere in your business or any event. If you change your branding, you can have updated custom flags made based on your original design templates. You can even keep your flags with the older branding and display them at company anniversary parties.
5. Affordable. Finally, custom flags are one of the most affordable physical assets in which you can invest. Once you purchase your custom flags, you rarely need to replace or update them. Additionally, the flags themselves are typically cheaper than other marketing assets that have ongoing fees, such as television commercials, print ads and billboards. Furthermore, you maximize your investment in custom flags with the round-the-clock and multipurpose brand exposure they offer.
