| Attract attention to a shop or service | Outside an entrance, subject to local rules and available space | Medium to large; choose a height that remains visible without blocking signs or walkways | Use outdoor-suitable fabric and a stable base.

| Guide visitors to an event | Near an entrance, registration area, or decision point | Medium; select a size suited to the viewing distance and foot traffic | Choose a portable stand that can be repositioned.

| Provide information in a controlled indoor space | Lobby, corridor, reception area, or conference room | Small to medium, based on viewing distance and available floor space | A compact base may suit smooth indoor floors.

| Display a message in an exposed outdoor area | Open grounds, roadside event area, or other location with wind exposure | Choose the smallest size that remains readable at the intended distance | Prioritize a suitable, stable base and follow the stand manufacturer’s instructions.
