On a sunny April 7th, 2019 in Orange County, California, the Ronald McDonald House Charities Walk For Kids event took place.
Among the participants was Emily, a young girl with a heart full of compassion. She had trained diligently, raising funds and spreading awareness for needy children.
As she stood at the starting line, doubts crept into her mind. But unbeknownst to Emily, MVP Visuals had woven their magic into every facet of the event.
Our meticulous attention to detail ensured that every branding element spoke directly to the participants' hearts.
From the majestic custom advertising flags fluttering above, depicting the emblem and message of the event, to the awe-inspiring inflatable arches that beckoned participants forward, MVP Visuals had set the stage for an unforgettable experience.
The walk surpassed all expectations, gathering an astounding 3,000 participants and raising a remarkable $315,000.
The event attracted major sponsors, including renowned names such as McDonald's, Coca-Cola, the Honda Center, and the NHL's Anaheim Ducks.
“We initially bought this arch for our 5K Walk but have since used it at almost every event we have. It takes no more than 15 minutes to assemble and storage is equally as easy. Thank you MVP Visuals! You have taken our marketing and branding to the next level!”
Ruth Wu, Special Events Manager, Ronald McDonald House of Orange County

Custom Product 1 - Inflatable Arches
Inflatable arches are frequently placed at the start and finish lines of marathon events.
These arches create a visually striking image, helping participants and spectators easily identify the beginning and end of the race.

Custom Product 2 - Custom Tents
Custom tents are often used as registration areas where participants can pick up their race bibs, timing chips, and event information. They provide a designated space for an efficient check-in process, ensuring a smooth start to the event.
MVP Visuals’ Example Product—Custom Pop-Up Tents
Our Custom Pop-Up Tent has a 600 Denier canopy with water-repellent, flame-retardant, and UV-resistant properties, ensuring durability.

Custom Product 3 - Advertising Flags
Roadside advertising flags are often used as route markers to guide participants along the marathon course. They are strategically placed at regular intervals, indicating the direction and ensuring that runners stay on track.
They provide a clear visual reference and help prevent participants from getting lost, making them the perfect choice for increasing your brand visibility.
MVP Visuals’ Example Product—Economy Flying Feather Flag
These custom flags are crafted from lightweight nylon, ensuring durabil-ty and tear-resistance.
They come in two printing options: single reverse—our most popular choice—and double-sided printing.
The flags have aviation-grade fiberglass poles allowing for easy and swift flag changes. This feature is particularly advantageous for marathons where last-minute adjustments may need to be made to the course or if there are any other plan changes.
The hardware required is delivered with our feather banners in a special carry case. It makes for a quick and easy setup in just a matter of minutes.
Additionally, the graphics on the banners can be easily swapped out over time, allowing you to update your design without the need to purchase an entirely new set.

Best Practices for Selecting Durable and Visually Appealing Branding Materials
When selecting materials for branding products, there are a few best practices to keep in mind to ensure your products are durable and visually appealing.
1 - Choose High-Quality Materials
When selecting materials for your branding products, choose durable and long-lasting materials. This will ensure your products withstand wear and tear and can be reused for future events.
At MVP Visuals, we use top-quality materials, such as PVC tarpaulin fabric, in several products, such as our custom inflatables.
You can always request swatches and spec sheets to ensure the fabric meets your standards.
2 - Consider Visibility
Visibility is key when it comes to branding products. Choose materials that are brightly colored and easy to read from a distance. This will help your brand stand out and attract attention.
At MVP Visuals, we use dye sublimation, a printing method that produces high-quality and durable prints that don't crack, bleed, or fade.
Learn about the difference between dye sublimation and screen printing in the video below.
3 - Opt For Weather-Resistant Materials
Weather-resistant materials such as vinyl or polyester are ideal for outdoor use.
When choosing inflatable arches, you can opt for the Iron Arch. Made of fabric PVC tarpaulin, it can withstand all weather elements and boasts a lifetime warranty.
“The arch and the tent were a big hit at our events. Thank you MVP for the help and the quick follow up on our order. Very much appreciated.”
David Wikette, President, Ferrari Club of America - Ohio Chapter
4 - Choose Materials That Are Easy to Clean
Your branding products reflect your brand, so keeping them clean and well-maintained is important. Choose materials that are easy to clean and can be wiped down after each use.
For instance, our custom inflatables are made with a PVC vinyl-based material or Oxford nylon cloth, which can be easily cleaned with a soft cloth or sponge.
Fact Check: Easy-to-clean materials aren't just practical; they're vital in preserving the longevity of your branding products.
5 - Work With a Reputable Printing Company
Choose a reputable printing company that has experience creating high-quality branding materials for events.

Best Practices for Effective Placement and Installation of Branding Materials
Proper placement and installation of branding materials ensures maximum visibility and impact.
Follow these best practices to ensure your custom products for events are placed and installed effectively:
1 - Placement Optimization
To maximize visibility and exposure, place your custom branding products in high-traffic areas, such as the start and finish lines, water stations, and photo areas.
Quick Tip: For a neat appearance, always ensure your branded banners are wrinkle-free. Creased banners can distract from the intended message.
2 - Weatherproofing
Ensure your custom products are proofed against any weather conditions. Use durable materials that are resistant to fading, tearing, and water damage.
3 - Safety Considerations
Consider safety when placing and installing custom branding products.
Avoid blocking emergency exits or creating tripping hazards. Use weights or stakes to secure outdoor products in place and prevent them from falling over or being blown away by strong winds.
By following these best practices, you can ensure that your custom products are placed and installed effectively, increasing brand visibility and awareness for your half marathon event.
