Marquees are portable tent assemblies that, when opened, look like gazebos. They are portable and very easy to assemble or set up. Marquees are usually used by companies or small businesses during corporate events such as trade shows, bazaars, and other functions. Since they're fully customizable, marquees are great tools to reach out to the public and advertise your company's products and services.

Many companies have their marquees customized to represent their corporate ideals and themes, as well as to match their products. Some even have their company logo printed onto their marquees to really catch the eye of potential customers or business partners.

Marquees are constructed in a synthetic tent material that's spread over a collapsible frame. When folded out, the marquee becomes a temporary tent supported by four poles. The synthetic tent material provides shade and displays the company's branding. Marquees can easily be folded back down for easy storage and transportation, and are very reusable.

This is a great way of advertising what your company can offer the public. You can ask marquee manufacturers to customize your company marquee's color, design, logos, and any other design element you have in mind.

But for the most part, marquees are used in commercial events, serving the dual purpose of providing outdoor shelter and promoting the company using it.
