First off.....is it going to be indoor or outdoor? Is it going to always be hung up, if not tell him to roll the banner with the vinyl facing out and not to roll it very tight.

You should have good durability with the chrome as long as its an indoor banner and its not rolled too tight! I agree that it should be rolled with the vinyl OUT! Try to sell them a banner tube to help them keep it in better shape also! Nothing like upselling!

As Corey said, it should last for a long time being indoor.
