DMC, Arrival Greeters, & Groups
Airport pickup and greeter signs your guests can read from the escalator
Illuminated name boards for the curb and baggage claim, hand-held paddles for group names and follow-me routes, and frames you use again on the next program. Printed and delivered in one week or less.
The program starts at baggage claim
Arrivals day is the part of the program you control least. Flights land late and out of order, your greeters are spread across terminals, and the hall is a wall of cardboard signs and phone screens. The guest coming down the escalator is scanning a rope line for the one person holding their name.
An LED Lollipop Sign puts that name in light. 4,500 lumens — visible at 50 feet in direct sunlight, and just as legible at the 11 pm pickup when the hall is half dark. Battery-powered — no cords, no outlets, no setup, so the greeter works the curb, the carousel or the terminal doors without hunting for a wall socket. Under 3 lb in hand with the hand-held monopole, which matters by the third hour of a staggered arrival window.
Every face is a blank canvas. Your client's logo, the guest's name, a group number, tomorrow a different client. Swap graphics in about a minute on Quick-Snap frames, about 5 minutes on Famous 14″ frames.
The arrival kit
Three products cover an arrivals program end to end. Buy the frame once, reprint graphics for every event.
LED LOLLIPOP SIGNS
Famous 14″ Circle and Rectangle
The name board. Illuminated, under 3 lb in hand, 3.5 hours on the included battery or 6.5 with the upgrade. Hand-held monopole or free-standing tripod, your choice when you order.
LED LOLLIPOP SIGNS
Quick-Snap 14″
Same panel, faster face change. Swap graphics in about a minute, so one frame serves several pickups in an afternoon.
HAND-HELD PADDLES
Group-name and follow-me paddles
Custom full color printing on both sides on 6mm Komatex e-PVC. Free print set-up, minimum order qty: 3. The 10.25″ circle weighs 10.6 oz, light enough for a guide to carry all day.
What to put on an airport name sign
Decide who the sign is for before you design it. A single VIP pickup reads best with the guest’s name large and the client’s logo small. A group arrival works better with the program name and a group number, so two groups landing at once don’t merge at the barrier.
Keep the wording short. Artwork stays 0.25″ inside the edge of the 12.36″ face on a Famous 14″ Circle LED Lollipop Sign, and every extra line makes the name smaller. For a long name, the Famous 14″ Rectangle’s 12.30″ × 8.90″ face gives it room. Print the same name on both sides, and a guest coming from behind the greeter reads it too. Confirm the meeting point with your ground operator before the program.
From the curb to the venue door
The same signs work every hand-off in the program, and the same frames come back for the next one.
- Airport pickup. A lit name board at baggage claim or the arrivals barrier, held by your greeter or set on the free-standing tripod beside them at a meeting point.
- Motorcoach and transfer staging. Vehicle numbers or group names at the curb so a delegation finds its coach without a runner shouting.
- Hotel welcome and hospitality desk. The client's mark at the registration table, the welcome reception, the dine-around meeting point.
- Venue-door greeter. Staff identified at the entrance, guests routed to the right door, the sponsor's logo lit before anyone is inside.
- Group-name paddles. One paddle per group, one color per client, and the paddles stack flat for storage between programs.
Follow-me and tour guide signs for walking groups
A walking group strings out at every door and crossing, and the guests at the back navigate by the sign at the front. City tours and shore excursions run on the same kit as the walk from the ballroom to the buses: one sign per guide, held up at every turn and at the regroup point. A flag or an umbrella shows where the guide is. A printed sign also tells a guest which group is theirs, and custom full color printing on both sides means the group reads it from behind as well as in front.
In daylight, a paddle does the job. The Tall Circle Paddle puts the Circle Paddle’s 10.25″ face on an 8.25″ handle, 18.5″ tall overall, for reach above a standing crowd.
After dark or in a dim terminal, switch to light. On the hand-held monopole, a Famous 14″ Circle LED Lollipop Sign stands up to 74.55″ and reads in any light. Choose the attachment when you order: hand-held monopole to walk with the group, or free-standing tripod to hold the meeting spot.
