Juggling your marketing strategy to improve your sales is a necessity these days. Understand the impact of signage.
However, many business owners tend to underestimate the impact of their signage on their target audience. Thus, they often overlook potentially valuable marketing and advertising opportunities only on premise signs can provide.
Expanding the use of signage as a key advertising tool will encourage more business and ensure that your business stands apart from other similar businesses in your neighborhood. On average, business owners realize a 5-20% increase in new customers from new or improved on-premise signage. Furthermore, effective signage increases impulse purchases. This is especially true for restaurants, convenience stores and retail establishments in locations with foot and auto traffic.
According to the SBA website, the cost-per-thousand, a common method used to measure the cost of reaching a thousand potential customers, is much lower for signage than other types of advertising, such as radio, televisions and newspapers.
From fabricated letters and LED signs to parking lot signage and window graphics, you can harness the power of signage and make your business thrive.

Indoor Signs
Cut Letters and Logos
We use computer-controlled routers or laser cutters for making Fabricated Letters. Letters are cut from materials like stainless steel, aluminium, acrylic and High Density Urethane. These types of sign letters can be installed on walls to indicate departments or product areas, on hanging signs to label isles or departments, and in customer service areas to help customers navigate. A wide variety of substrates and laminates can be used to create signs that look like wood, metal or glass. Contrasting colors and appropriate letter height for viewing distances ensure that your cut letters are readable.
Posters and Banners
Posters and banners offer inexpensive signage and displays. These can be hung on windows, from the ceiling, on your exterior pylon sign, or even freestanding in a wide variety of banner stands and display holders. Both of these sign types are relatively inexpensive and can be used then thrown away, or rolled up and saved for future events. Banner stands allow for easy change out as your seasons or specials change.
Window Graphics
Perforated window graphics, static cling graphics and vinyl lettering provide an excellent means to increase your advertising at a reasonable cost. These can be changed seasonally, or can be left up as permanent advertising. You can use window graphics to repeat your logo, advertise your store hours, announce product specialties and more. Many cities and towns allow around 20-25% of your windows to be lettered without permitting.
