Retractable Banner Stand Video

by KA Media on 02/22/12

Our customers know that we have

great retractable banner stands but we want to share this with everyone so we created a quick setup video. This shows how a retractable banner stand can be setup withinabout 30 seconds or less and it shows the key highlights in KA Media banner stands. What are those highlights you ask? Well we use a premium block out film, this is the grey backer you can see in the video. What it does is stop any light and shadows from showing through the back, ever seen those banner stands where you can see the pole right through and it makes it look a little sketchy. The other thing is we have a matte finish on the front this means that you won't have glare or reflection from lights in front. Don't these key points sound pretty good? We wonder why anyone would want to offer anything less, unfortunately a lot of companies due...I guess its just to save money. Check out more info and watch the video here on our retractable banner stands page

Red Carpet Runners

by KA Media on 02/17/12

Finding a good red carpet runners for your step and repeat may have a bit of a cost. We recommend a rental. There are a lot of local carpet suppliers that can rent red carpet runners for short term and at reasonable costs. We are looking at supplying red carpets with our step and repeats but are still finding the cost to offer doesn't suit the price point that we would like.

When getting your red carpet the size will likely be in the range of 3' out from the media wall and either the same length or longer depending on where you want to run it to. In some case the red carpet creates a further walkway for people to follow. In other cases it simply creates the line for where people need to stand for photo's. Consider KA Media for step and repeats for your next event.

What is a step and Repeat?

by KA Media on 02/09/12

Ok so we write about step and repeats all the time but we

actually get the question "what is a step and repeat". So I'm going to explain it a little further. A step and repeat or media wall or red carpet backdrop etc, is simply a backdrop for photo's usually used on a red carpet. The term step and repeat comes from the fact that celebrities would walk the carpet and stop for a photo, take a step and repeat.

Usually the artwork on these photo backdrops is logo's...On an 8x8 we would say to

go 4-5 logo's wide in a row and about 5-6 rows high. Each logo should be about the size of a letter size piece of paper. This will make them big enough for photo's but also enough white space to look good. There's a variety of other info to consider when shopping for a step and repeat but above all you want to look at the hardware setup. If its going to be hard to figure out and stressful when putting it together than you might want something else. We feel like we have the easiest setup on the market. Don't just take my word for it, watch our how to setup a step and repeat video and see for yourself.
