DOWNTOWN BANNER PROGRAM
Downtown Springfield, Inc. (DSI), a not-for profit
organization, operates the banner program under a licensing
agreement with the City of Springfield. The program
includes considerations of banner appearance, banner
content, etc. Accordingly, DSI has developed this program to
best achieve the goal. DSI has contracted with
Ace Sign Co. to administer, design, manufacture, install,
and remove banners. Ace charges DSI
for these services. MANUFACTURING
Ace Sign Co. offers top quality outdoor webbed banners.
For more specifications on the production of these banners,
please see the enclosed attachment. Banners are usually
completed in seven to ten working days. Banners generated
outside of Ace will be considered for display; but must fall
within the specifications and requirements of the downtown
banner program. NUMBER OF BANNERS
A minimum of 10 banners, enough for five poles, is
necessary to maintain reasonable manufacturing costs. The
number of poles is then limited only by the availability.
(See
attached availability chart). POLE SELECTION
Ace Sign Co. maintains a listing of pole availability. If
you
have not received this information in your packet or are in
need of the updated schedule, please contact your sales
representative immediately. Pole reservations are firm upon
payment of the pole rental charge, installation and removal
fees. STORAGE & SAFE KEEPING
Reusable banners can be stored by Ace Sign Co. for no
charge. DESIGN Ace Sign Co.'s
professional design team will work with you
to create the perfect downtown banner design for your
organization. Quality appearance and content are highly
regarded in our downtown designs. Any designs for
downtown banners generated outside of Ace must be
submitted for design review. COMMERCIAL
ADVERTISING Banners are not available for
commercial advertising.
However, DSI will permit the lower 10% (bottom 10
inches) of each banner to list a sponsor. DSI
will consider a business banner in the case of a
significant anniversary starting at the 5th year and in
5-year
increments thereafter. COSTS

select the type of banner you will be producing and add on
the additional charges for installation, removal, and pole
rental. All orders must be accompanied by full
