When choosing the right signs for your business, consider factors such as visibility, brand identity, and the type of message you want to convey. Here are some popular types of business signs and tips for selecting the best ones to fit the needs of your business:
Outdoor Signs
Channel Letters: These are 3D letters often used on building exteriors. They can be illuminated, making them visible at night.
Monument Signs: Ground-level signs that are typically large and sturdy. They are often used at entrances and are designed to match the architectural style of the surrounding area.
Pylon Signs: Tall, freestanding signs that are visible from a distance. They are commonly used for businesses located along highways or busy streets.
LED Electronic Message Center (EMC) Signs: These signs, also known as Digital Message Boards, allow businesses to display dynamic, eye-catching content such as text, images, animations, and videos.
This flexibility enables businesses to showcase promotions, specials, events, and other relevant information in real-time, grabbing the attention of passing pedestrians and motorists. These signs are highly visible and can be updated instantly using software on your computer or tablet from anywhere in the world.
Indoor Signs
Lobby Signs: These are typically used in reception areas to welcome visitors. They can include the business name, logo, and other relevant information.
Wayfinding Signs: Essential for guiding visitors through your premises, these signs include directional and informational signage.
Digital Displays: Electronic signs that can be updated with different messages. They are versatile and can display anything from promotions to important notices.
Temporary Signs
Banners: Great for announcing sales, events, or new products. They are cost-effective and can be used both indoors and outdoors.
A-Frame Signs: Portable and easy to set up, these signs are perfect for sidewalk advertising or highlighting daily specials.
Vehicle Wraps
If your business uses company vehicles, consider custom wraps as a mobile form of advertisement. They turn your vehicles into moving billboards.
Key Considerations
Location and Visibility: Ensure your sign is easily visible to both pedestrians and drivers. Consider the height, size, and illumination.
Brand Consistency: Your sign should reflect your brand’s colors, logo, and overall aesthetic.
Material and Durability: Choose materials that can withstand the local weather conditions if the sign is outdoors.
Legibility: Use clear fonts and colors that contrast well to ensure readability.
Compliance and Permits:
Check local regulations regarding signage to ensure compliance with size, placement, and lighting restrictions. You may need permits for certain types of signs, especially outdoor ones.
