Commercial awnings, deck awnings and canopies can be “free” sources of advertising

Many business people may spend a hefty amount each month on newspaper advertising. However, it may do companies better to skip ordering some boxed ads and use an under-utilized source of advertising; their commercial awnings or retractable canopies. These awnings may save a business owner several thousands of dollars a year by using their deck awnings to advertise in replace of other costly methods.
