Get the Competitive Edge with Business Signs September 8, 2009
Where you Should be Placing your Business Signs
Having great signage can put a business far ahead of the competition. A storefront with a great sign is able to attract customers that might not have otherwise known about the store. However, it’s not just the sign on your storefront that matters. You also need to place business signs in other locations to maximize the amount of attention that your signage gets. These extra signs may include advertising signage on billboards or vehicles as well as informational signage for off-site events.
The most important sign for any business will certainly be the sign that goes on the front of the business. Placement of this sign is crucial with the single most important goal being to make the sign visible to as many people passing by as possible. This location will vary depending on the business. A business located on a street with a lot of foot traffic may want eye-level signs or sandwich boards whereas a business located at a busy intersection would want large signage on the front of the building. Corner-store locations may want signage on both sides of the building that are adjacent to the street. Consider the lighting, building overhands and other factors that can affect the visibility of the sign when finalizing placement.
Once the signage for the storefront is set, the business will want to think about additional advertising signage. The most common type of advertising sign is the billboard. Most businesses will want to use billboards that are placed close to their area of business to make it easy for people to get to them after seeing this signage. Billboard advertising may be too expensive for small businesses. An alternative option is to place business signage on vehicles as a method of advertising around town. All company vehicles should certainly have this signage. There are also programs available for placing such signage on the personal vehicles of local drivers.
Finally, a business will want to remember to place appropriate signs at all off-site events. Companies that set up booths at trade shows, markets and conventions are companies that must have signage that can travel to these events with them. These signs may be sandwich board signs or poster board signs. Signage that actually hangs on the booth is another option. Investing in the quality of this signage shouldn’t be overlooked since a lot of new business can come from these events.
