Pop up marquees are an ideal way to promote your brand or company at events, promotions, or just about any location where protection from the elements is required. With a marquee, you will have an area that provides shelter from the elements and catches the eye of potential customers in a crowded area.
These marquees are also easy to set up and can be taken down fairly quickly. This makes them perfect for outdoor events such as festivals and sporting events and indoor occasions like conferences and trade shows.
There are 5 things that you should check before purchasing a pop up marquee:
- Size: What size pop up marquee do you want?
- Setup time: How easy is it to setup?
- Walls: Do you want to add walls to your marquee?
- Accessories: Do you want any accessories?
- Printed: Do you want it to be printed?
1. Size: What size pop up marquee do you want?
At Selby’s, we have three marquee sizes – 3m x 3m and 6m x 3m.
The size of your marquee needs to be big enough for your intended purpose. For instance, if your marquee is being used to attract interest from customers, it needs to be big enough to hold enough people comfortably.
2. Setup time: How easy is it to setup?
One of the main purposes of a pop up marquee is it should be easy to setup. However, some will take a little more time, and this usually relates to their size as well as how their frame was built. At Selby’s, our pop up marquees can take between 2 to 5 minutes to setup.
A reputable marquee seller will be able to provide a rough estimate of how long their marquee takes to set up. This will be useful if you are planning to use your marquee several times a year.
3. Walls: Do you want to add walls to your marquee?
With pop up marquees, you have the option to add walls (full wall or half wall) or just stick with the roof and frame only.
If you’re buying a marquee for outdoor use, you may want walls to protect people from the elements. With walls, it also opens up branding opportunities from all angles (left, right, and back).
However, if you are purchasing a marquee for indoor use such as an exhibition, you might want it to be open on all sides. This will allow people to visit your marquee from all directions.
4. Accessories: Do you want any accessories?
Do you want to add other accessories to your marquee such as additional marketing materials like a feather flag mounted onto the sides of the marquee or an a frame sign to complement your marquee?
5. Printed: Do you want it to be printed?
The last thing to consider is the prints.
Do you want your roof to be printed with your brand and logo? If you are getting walls, you have to decide if you want your walls to be printed too.
