When it comes to promoting local events, posters remain one of the most influential and cost-effective tools available.
Whether you’re hosting a community festival, a concert, or a business launch, custom posters can generate buzz, draw attention, and drive attendance.
At Gandy Printers, we specialize in creating high-quality, custom posters that not only grab attention but also leave a lasting impression.
Benefits of Using Posters for Event Promotion
1. High Visibility
Posters offer unparalleled visibility. Whether they’re placed on busy streets, in local businesses, or event venues, they capture the attention of passersby.
When designed effectively, posters have the power to communicate important details and spark curiosity within seconds.
A well-placed, visually striking poster can engage potential attendees long before they even consider attending your event.
2. Cost-Effective Marketing
Compared to digital ads or television spots, posters are a more affordable way to reach a broad audience, especially for local events.
Printing posters in bulk can be done quickly and at a low cost, allowing you to blanket an area with marketing material.
For businesses on a budget, this is an efficient way to build awareness.
3. Versatility
Whether you’re promoting a large outdoor event or distributing promotional materials at a trade show, posters come in various sizes and designs to suit different needs.
At Gandy Printers, we offer everything from standard posters to folded posters, making them easy to distribute or display.
Below is an example of a folded poster we did for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

Best Practices for Effective Poster Design
Design for Impact
An eye-catching poster is essential to grab attention in high-traffic areas. Using bold colors, large fonts, and clear graphics can make your design stand out.
By incorporating contrasting colors and a clean, simple layout, you can ensure that your message remains clear and easy to read, even from a distance.
Key Information Placement
Place the most critical information – such as the event name, date, location, and a clear call to action – front and center.
Use large, readable fonts that make it easy for viewers to quickly scan and understand the message. Supporting details can be placed in smaller font sizes.
Custom Poster Printing Solutions for Different Needs
At Gandy Printers, we offer a wide range of poster options to fit any promotional need:
1. Event Posters
Ideal for promoting local festivals, concerts, or community gatherings. Posters can be displayed around town or distributed at local businesses.
2. Retail Posters
Use posters to advertise in-store promotions, seasonal sales, or new product launches. Bright, visually appealing posters can catch the eye of customers before they enter your store.
3. Educational Posters
Posts can effectively communicate key messages or event details for schools, universities, or non-profits.
Educational posters are commonly used for outreach events or fundraising campaigns.
Here’s an example of a multi-fold poster we did for FUBA.
