Company Signage - Why It's Important

Each type of sign can play an important role in helping you grow your business. The following video outlines why signage is so important.

 

The right company signage is key to getting more customers in the door

 

Read on to discover the most common types of company signage and how they can contribute to increasing your sales.

 

Storefront Signs

An attractive storefront sign can help you make a good first impression

 

If your budget will only allow for one type of company signage, then your first choice should be a storefront sign. Outdoor signage is the most effective way for you to attract new customers and to remind previous customers where you are. A professionally designed and attractive storefront sign will drive traffic to your door and compel customers to enter.

Storefront signage is usually the first thing that a potential customer notices about your business, that's what it's important to make sure that yours makes a great first impression.

Make sure that your storefront sign clearly tells your customers what your business is called and lets them know what you do. If your business name doesn’t clearly identify what type of business you are, then you can also incorporate images and logos to make it clear.

 

Awnings

Custom awnings can protect both your customers and your products

 

Installing an awning is a great way to complement your storefront signage and add attractive dimension to a flat outer wall. They can really make your business facade look more appealing and interesting to passing traffic.

Awnings also serve a great practical purpose of protecting your customers from the sun, rain, and snow as they are entering and exiting your building.

This type of courtesy that you are providing for your visitors can go a long way in building rapport and showing your customers that you care about them.

Awnings can also help protect products that you have displayed in or near your windows from colour fading and sun damage.

 

Pylon Signs and Monument Signs

If your building is set back from the road, install a monument or pylon sign

 

If your business is set back from the road or if your building is blocked by a parking lot or other obstruction, then installing a pylon or monument sign is a great idea.

Pylon and monument signs are placed at the side of the road or at the end of the entrance to your business to alert passing traffic of your location.

Pylon and monument signs are very similar in appearance with the main difference being that a pylon sign is much higher than a monument sign. Whether you choose a pylon or monument sign is often dictated by local bylaws that have height and width restrictions for signage.

Another factor in choosing between the two is the type of business you have. For example, a monument sign is probably a better choice for a lawyer's office or financial establishment as it looks more traditional and classic.

On the other hand, grocery stores and car dealerships often choose pylon signs because they can be seen from a greater distance so they do a wonderful job attracting vehicle traffic.

 

Banners

Banners are a great way to promote your business

 

Banners are a great temporary and inexpensive form of company signage. They can be hung across or down the facade of your building, across a road or parking lot or inside your building.

You can choose to have your banner horizontally or vertically aligned and they can also be freestanding with their own stand.

Banners are a great way to grow your business as they can be used to announce upcoming events, such as grand openings or trade shows and they are perfect for advertising sales and promotions. They are usually very big and eye-catching and can be put up both indoors and outdoors.

 

Interior Company Signage

Interior company signage can also help you grow your business

 

Your interior company signage can also play a big part in helping to grow your business. Here are some of the main categories of interior signage and why they are important.

Reception Signs: Reception signs clearly indicate to your visitors that they are in the right location which can help them feel more comfortable and welcome. If your reception signs are designed to complement your exterior signage, then they can also be a great way to further promote your brand.

Murals and Prints: You can put up murals and prints inside your building to also help build your brand and to add attractive decor to your otherwise empty walls.

 

Wayfinding signs help your visitors navigate your building and plexiglass barriers can protect them

 

Wayfinding Signs: Wayfinding signs play a very important part in making your customers feel relaxed in your building. They help your visitors discover for themselves where they need to go and help them find the different rooms or facilities that they are looking for.

Plexiglass Barriers: Installing plexiglass barriers will protect both you and your customers which is a very good thing. These barriers can also be branded with your company name and logo to subtly promote your business.

 

Vehicle Graphics

Vehicle graphics are a form of company signage that gives your great mobile advertising

 

If you have a company vehicle than a great way to promote your business is to install vehicle graphics.

Vehicle graphics are an effective form of mobile advertising that can range from simply having your business name and contact information on the side of your vehicle, to an extremely eye-catching graphic that takes up a large portion of the body complete with contact information and slogans.

As you drive your vehicle around, you can be advertising your business to an even wider audience and you can be educating them about what you do.
