Depends on the market: if the image is important (e.g. hiring marquees
direct to the toffs for posh weddings) he'll prolly do better with a
swish design, and have to pay appropriate dosh for it. If he's hiring to
the outdoor-events trade then something that conveys the basic info
should do. (In each case, modulo getting the search engine hits, though
possibly less important for the latter as more of his business may be
personal contacts.)

Also if he's starting up on his own then ?100 is a big outlay for
something which is a bit speculative as to whether it's going to get him
results. If he finds it useful he can always pay for a better design later.

Anyhow thanks for the info: I'll pass it on and he can decide what he
wants/can afford.


thanks
