Banners? Need ideas for a banner, please!

Hey ladies,
I will be doing a couple of fairs this month. I want to have kind of a generic doula banner made, something to attract the pregnant moms to my table. I need it generic so I can use it for our local birth circle as well as my own doula/belly casting business.
Any ideas? Also, where do you get your banners made at a decent price?

Thanks!

I think you could go with something like "Pregnant? You deserve a doula!" If I didn't know what a doula was and I was pregnant it would attract me to the table to find out more. The best thing to do would be to go to a local print shop (small business) and check out their prices. I am a huge fan of supporting small businesses because you never know when they may refer someone to you. However, if there is nothing like that in your area the banners at 123print.com work. Here is an example:

HTH!

Do you have a slogan for your business? or perhaps a quote about birth that would work for doulas.

Just from a design prospective, go with as few words/graphics as possible.

There's a reason a STOP sign has only stop on it and not, stop here please or you might get hit.

Thanks, everyone! I called around to local printers and the prices ranged from $60-100, so I went with the $30 deal at 123print.com.
I ended up using Pregnant? You deserve a doula! And my biz name and website at the bottom. Very simple and black and white. It will work.

Thanks!

Ah! I just saw this post. I received an offer from vistaprint for a free banner the other day.
