Opening Ribbon
An official store opening is only complete with a striking opening ribbon that is ceremonially cut. We can print the ribbon with your logo, company name or a personal message in 1 color or even full color. We do this as large as possible, so that your brand or message is perfectly visible on photos and videos. During an official opening, where a V.I.P. or owner cuts the ribbon, the press is often present to capture this moment. With a printed opening ribbon you ensure that your logo or message is the center of attention. This makes the opening moment not only festive, but also a powerful PR moment that you can share later on social media and in news articles. An opening ribbon with logo or text is therefore an absolute must-have for every store opening.
Balloon arch
A balloon arch is the eye-catcher at every store opening. It is the perfect balloon decoration to attract customers, passers-by and the press. The arch can be fully coordinated with the colours of your corporate identity, making your brand stand out even more. In addition, the balloon arch can be firmly attached to the facade, so that it can remain outside, regardless of the weather. Do you really want to make it festive? Then stretch an opening ribbon between the uprights of the arch, so that you can ceremonially cut the ribbon. This moment attracts the attention of the press and ensures beautiful photos and videos that give your opening extra exposure. A balloon arch turns your store opening into a visual spectacle that no one will miss.
Balloon pillars
Balloon pillars are a perfect way to stand out during a store opening. With a large top balloon on top, they immediately attract the attention of customers, passers-by and the press. The top balloon can be printed with a standard design, but also with your own logo, company name or a personal text. This makes balloon pillars not only festive, but also a powerful marketing tool. Place the pillars at the entrance of your store for maximum visibility. Do you want to create a ceremonial moment? Attach an opening ribbon between the balloon pillars and officially cut it at the start of your store opening. This not only provides an unforgettable moment, but also impressive photos and videos for the press and social media. With balloon pillars you are guaranteed to create a striking store opening that no one wants to miss.
