Business Advertising Signs: How Much Do They Cost?
You can expect to pay anywhere anywhere from a few hundred dollars to $20,000+ depending on your business budget, the complexity of your sign, and personal preferences.
This wide range is also due to the fact that signs come in many sizes, and are built from many different types of materials.
If you aren’t sure what type of sign is right for you, it’s important to talk to the professionals.
They can help you narrow down your options and find a choice that’s right for your business and budget. Learn about more specific costs for each type of advertising sign below.
Storefront Signs
Average Cost: $200 - $1000+
Storefront signs are generally the most cost effective business advertising sign option, as the least expensive of this style tends to be fabric signage, which can cost as little as $3 - $9 per square foot.
Storefront signs include both the type of sign that pop out from the side of a storefront (such as the one in the image above) and signage (such as logos and store names) located right on building itself (lettering/signboard styles). Other common types of storefront signs include:
Painted plywood (average cost $50 - $500)
Painted glass (average cost $150 - $1000+)
Punched metal signboard (average cost $75 - $1000+)
Metal logo/lettering (average cost $200 - $1000+)
Most stores will have some form of storefront sign, sometimes along with other types of signage as well.
Consider your budget, your location, and other forms of signage that you want when deciding on the right type of storefront sign for you.
Some companies don’t really need storefront signage (for example E-commerce businesses) - and if that’s the case, other forms of signage/advertising may be a better fit for your business.
LED Storefront SIgns
Average cost: $1000 - $10,000+
LED storefront signs (also called glass tube light signs or neon signs) are a bright, vivid, and often attractive form of signage. However, they can be quite expensive, with larger, more complex signs costing over $10,000.
Still, if you’re looking for a sign that can be seen off in the distance and you own a business that’s open well into the night hours, an LED sign may be perfect for you.
It’s also important to keep in mind that LED signs are more fragile than other options, so regular upkeep and maintenance may be required.
Awning Signs
Average cost: $500 - $10,000+
Awning storefront signs add a traditional look to the front of your business. You will often see them above businesses such as boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops, and other types of eateries.
Awning signs can be relatively inexpensive, with simpler, smaller signs starting around $500. For a larger, more complex sign made with higher-quality materials, you may see similar pricing to LED signs - with prices ranging to $10,000 or more.
Monument Signs
Average cost: $5000+
Monument signs are one of the most popular types of business advertising signs. Some simpler monument signs may cost less than the average price listed above - and more complex options may cost more.
Because each sign is unique and each business will have unique wants and needs, it’s important to work with the professionals before making any set-in-stone choices.
Monument signs are a good choice for businesses that are difficult to see from the road, as they alert all potential visitors or customers of their location (ideally) before they pass you!
Monument signs can also include additional information, such as the location or direction of parking lots, certain streets, or specific parts of your building.
They are often used on university or college campuses, for large corporations or companies, and shopping centres.
Pylon Signs
Average Cost: $10,000+
Once again, it’s important to note that pylon signs will widely vary in price depending on their size and materials used.
However, this will generally be one of the more expensive signage options, as they tend to be large and built with very strong and sturdy materials.
Many pylon signs are also internally lit, so that you can still see the information displayed on the sign at night. You will often see pylon signs at shopping centres, grocery stores, and large organizations such as hospitals.
Vehicle Signs
Average cost: $100 - $1000+
Vehicle decals are another form of business advertising signs that can go a long way on a tighter budget. For simple decals, such as a logo or your company’s name, you can often have that made and installed for a few hundred dollars or less.
For more complex decals and visuals, you may pay up to $1000 or more. Either way, vehicle business signage is a more cost-effective option, and a good choice for businesses that are constantly on the road or provide at-home services or delivery.
