The goal of using a banner is to grab people's attention, even in a city where there are billboards and signs competing for every glance. It's a high profile way of getting a message out to the public. You've probably seen a labor dispute where this tactic was used by a union organizer. A banner might read something like, "Shame on Acme Builders/Labor Dispute." It can be very effective if done properly. You can customize your message to say whatever you want. Here are some quick tips for maximum visibility and effectiveness.
1) Keep the Headline Brief - Limit your words to seven or less. Anything more and people will lose the message. Focus your attention on creating a great headline for the banner.

3) Recruit Volunteers - The more volunteers the better. It sends a message to the public that real people are behind the dispute.

6) Choose the Right Time - Make the biggest impact by timing your activities for peak traffic and maximum visibility.

9) Never Fold a Banner - Avoid leaving permanent creases and wrinkles. Gently roll-up the banner when you are finished.
