WE GOT YOU!

 

100% Satisfaction Guarantee: We guarantee that you will 100% love your backdrop/product or you get your money back.  Send us back your backdrop or product within 2 days of receiving it and we will provide you will a full refund.  Expand Frames Lifetime Replacement Warranty: Our frames are designed to stand up to the wear and tear of busy event professionals. Stop replacing less than ideal hardware that barely makes it through a single award season. Buy an expand frame from Kick Ass Media and you will never need another backdrop! For as long as we carry it, your step and repeat expand hardware is covered by a no-cost replacement warranty. You only cover the shipping! Colour Matching Guarantee: We guarantee to match the exact colour you are looking for.  In order to guarantee this we will require enough time to send you colour swatches (on the materials we will be using) for you to pick and approve the colour.   Provide us with your Pantone colour code and we will colour match it!  Please note that the colours in your proof may not fully match the colour that is printed on the fabric, especially if it is heavy coverage. The colours you see on your screen will not be as vibrant/bright when printed on fabric. We recommend getting a swatch printed ahead of printing if you have specific colour requirements. We cannot guarantee colour matching on rush jobs.

The backdrops come in 2 pieces:

The hardware (frame for mounting) and the print (the part with the graphic on it). With some backdrops these come separately, you put the frame together and mount the print. (If you’re not interested in that don’t worry we have some that show up already assembled and just expand into place).

As for finding the perfect Step and Repeat for your event here’s what

  2. Type of backdrop
  3. Material options

  5. Costs and pricing
The Size

The size of your Step and Repeat will depend on the location of your event and your event budget.

Typical heights are either 8 feet tall or 10 feet tall.

Before considering a 10 foot tall backdrop you’ll want to confirm that you can fit that tall in your venue. If the ceiling where you want the step and repeat is only 8 feet high you’ll want to make sure you don’t show up with a 10 foot tall backdrop.

Most of the backdrops we provide are 8 feet tall but it all depends on your event.

As for length they range from 5 feet wide to 30 feet and longer.

Depending on your event and its purpose, you’re going to have anywhere from 2-3 people or large group of cast or crew members getting photos taken.

The most popular sizes for a step and repeat backdrop are 10 feet, 12 feet wide and 20 feet wide.

This depends on the experience you are trying to create. One of the most common sizes we create for Disney for example is 20 feet wide x 10 feet tall.

Overall, the most popular sizes are 10 x 8 and 12 x 8  and 20×10 if you are planning on going big.

We can help you find the right size for your event, just call and chat with one of our event branding specialists!

Type of Step and Repeat
for your Event


This is a very important detail to your event.

There are so many shapes and styles of frames and backdrops and you don’t want something that needs to be built on-site. 

We recommend avoiding tube frame style step and repeats.

The most popular frame people use is expandable accordion style frame, the print can stay on it and it’s tool-free setup makes it quick and easy to go up.

You are going to want something easy to setup and that can be reused for future events.

The sides of the expand backdrop has ‘endcaps’ which can have additional branding, website, social handles or event sponsors.

Endcaps also gives your backdrop a more finished look, especially if you are going for the red carpet feel for your event. 

Remember to be careful of buying “cheap” frames that require tools. We often hear about people that bought tube style frames and were really disappointed at their event. Don’t risk it!

The Material

 

The material is a very important part of the backdrop.

Are you planning on taking photos? If you don’t want glare, we hands down recommend fabric.  Fabric is reusable, it’s portable – you can leave it right on the frame when you take it down, it just folds right up in it.  

The only reason some clients don’t buy fabric is because they are on a budget and trying to save money.

In the end, sometimes it ends up costing them more in the long run.

Another material option for your movie premiere, is vinyl.  The reason we don’t love vinyl is because for the most part, everyone uses a backdrop for the purpose of photos.  Even though vinyl can come matte, it doesn’t guarantee that it will be glare-free with a flash from a camera.  Vinyl comes on a roll and can’t be folded or it will crease and wrinkle so it’s less convenient for travelling.

Keep in mind this is your brand and if you are showcasing sponsors, you will want your event to look premium.

Pricing

 

As you can see there are a lot of choices of style, size and even material. 

Choosing the right step and repeat and products for your event can be a bit overwhelming.  We recommend to call and speak with one of our experts that can go over your event details and find you the best option.

There are literally hundreds of options we could arrange for your event. Pricing ranges $100’s to $1000’s.

Brands that work with us come back year after year because we know what it takes to execute the perfect worry-free event. We provide step and repeats and displays for movie premieres across North America working with some of the biggest brands and events.

TIP: If you chose to buy online, be sure to speak with a representative before buying.  We have had many clients come to us in a rush because they didn’t receive what they ordered and sizing and assembly is not what they had thought.

We will help you find the perfect step and repeat backdrop for your special event and we want to work with you to make it memorable for all your guests!

What our clients have to say:
For several years, we struggled with local suppliers whose only options were vinyl or multi-stitched fabric, none of which lived up to our expectations or standards…. Tears of joy were almost shed on the day we first set it up. The red felt that was thrown in was a plus; we used it to great effect for the Awards Ceremony. The service was positive and helpful, and this year we have countless photos featuring our beautiful and flawless step and repeat. We will certainly be back for more! Nneka Luke Media Director Trinidad+Tobago Film Festival

I’ve been dealing with print companies for about 5 years now, and in that time, I have not come in contact with a company that has got all three things behind their name: quality product, customer service and reasonable pricing. Until this week, when I got all three in spades from Kick Ass Media. I can’t sing their praises loud enough or high enough. I am seriously overjoyed with my product. I dealt with multiple members of their team and they were all equally courteous, prompt, enthusiastic and true to their word. They did get me my product in a really short and rushed period of time like they said they would and I did love it like they said I would! Thank you KA Media. Thank you thank you thank you!
