Poster examples for small businesses

Five common poster jobs, each with a ready example you can load into the poster maker and change.

The names, prices and numbers are made up. The button on each example opens the tool with it filled in, and you replace the words with yours.

End of season sale poster

A sale poster has one job: make a passer-by or a phone user stop and read the offer. The offer is the biggest thing after the headline, and the end date is the second.

What to write. Say what is discounted and for how long. "Up to 50 percent off" must be true for at least some items, and "while stock lasts" tells people to hurry. Keep the contact line short: place and phone.

A mistake to avoid. Putting five offers on one poster. One clear offer is remembered; five are skipped.

Shop opening poster

An opening poster tells the neighbourhood that you exist, when you open and why to come. It is read once, so make the date and the place easy to see.

What to write. Put the day and time in the headline and the address in the contact line. An opening gift for the first customers gives people a reason to come on day one.

A mistake to avoid. Leaving out the date, or the exact address. People will not message to ask.

Festival offer poster

Festival posters work when they give a clear last date to order. A festival is the one time of year when people know they must buy and are looking for a place to do it.

What to write. Name the product, the order deadline and how to order. Use the colours of the season without using religious images that you do not have the right to use.

A mistake to avoid. Posting the day before the festival. Post two to three weeks ahead.

Admission open poster for a class or school

Parents look for three facts: which classes, when it starts and how to reach you. A free demo class lowers the risk of trying.

What to write. Write the classes and subjects in plain words, the start date and a phone number. Do not promise marks or ranks; say what you teach and how.

A mistake to avoid. Claims such as "100 percent results", which you cannot prove and which may break advertising rules for coaching in your area.

New arrival poster

A new-arrival poster is a status or story: short life, big headline, one line of detail. It keeps regular customers coming back to look.

What to write. Say what is new and where to see it. A photo of the stock posted next to the poster does more than extra words on it.

A mistake to avoid. Using the same poster for months. When it is no longer new, take it down.
