Marketing and communications firm is offering a simple and affordable way for companies to create powerful presentations in less than 24 Hours. Ultra_Banner Stand, founded by longtime Greensboro/Winston-Salem, NC based designer Joel Bennett, is taking the daring approach of concentrating on one core product -- a portable, retractable banner. Retractable banner stands have proven themselves to be effective, affordable, and easy-to-use displays that can be produced and delivered in less than 24 Hours.

Bennett, a 20-year veteran in product development and marketing, has spent the last several years working with a wide variety of companies. He began to recognize the need for an affordable presentation system, at the right price, that any company could use. Bennett also knew that it had to have the "WOW factor" -- something that grabs your attention and holds it.

Several months of research and testing went into finding the right combination of lightweight, durable hardware and high-quality, printed graphics. The next planning phase involved the development of a system for designing the graphics and producing the finished product quickly, in most cases in less than one day. The finished product is a high resolution, custom printed display.

“This type of product was originally developed for trade shows,” explains Bennett, “but we’ve had incredible response from large and small companies that will use them for everything from sales presentations to training seminars to corporate identification for any event. This thing seems to inspire our clients to come up with applications we never even thought of.”

The banners are lightweight, portable, and can be set up in less than 60 seconds. Ultra_Banner Stand provides a complete turnkey banner system, including printing, for less than half the traditional cost of similar trade show displays.

"This is not typical, but it happens every few weeks. I received a call from a new customer, just after 2 PM on Friday afternoon. It was actually a referral -- my favorite! Realtor Association of Greater Miami and the Beaches, Inc. had gotten my name from one of the 15 Florida Chapter CRS Ultra_Banners that I did almost two years ago...

Caught off guard, I visualized (in a micro-flash) the various jobs in the queue, the time of day it was, my inventories, printer ink levels, and seven or eight other things including the weather, and I simply muttered "Uh yeah. Sure." I called myself to the situation and managed to ask, "When will the art files be ready for preview?"

Well -- apparently the files were ready and sitting safely in my Inbox a few minutes later. By 3 PM, I had submitted the previewed art files for review and comment and placed the jobs into the printer queue by 3:30 PM.

24-Hour Turn Around is certainly an added value service. "Ultra_Banner Stand offers this to customers as a courtesy -- because we value their business. If we can make a customer happy by shipping out their Ultra_Banner the same day that we get the order, then we do it!" says Bennett. "Customers are our most valuable asset, and we treat them like gold!" Ultra_Banner also offers lifetime warranties on all of our banner stand hardware, a 100% satisfaction guaranteed, 30-day trial, and free file checks and eProofing on all artwork.

The Ultra_Banner Stand is already finding success in the insurance, health care, and real estate industries and is currently negotiating with several national firms to place these unique banners in all of their locations.
