Let’s finally set the record straight about signage. It can be great! Even the most basic informational sign, safety sign or utility signage can (and should) be great. Corporate identity signs? Yep, those especially should be great too. Here’s why:
GREAT SIGNAGE IS IMPORTANT
- It helps establish and promote your brand. Your brand is the lifeblood of your business. When you think of Target, instantly you think of a bold red color and big bullseye logos. Take a look up (or around) at their signage next time you’re making a Target run and what do you see? Bingo! Bold red color and big bullseye logos. The reason for consistency and frequency of that branding is it builds in the minds of your consumers and reinforces your marketing message. Now, we know what you’re thinking… even the restroom sign? Yes, even the restroom sign or the simple employees only sign should be consistently branded with the rest of your signage system.
- It ensures your business is visible. Have you ever been looking for a building and couldn’t read the signage to know where to turn? Ouch. Us too. Obviously that’s just silly! By choosing a great signage option for your building, you ensure people can see you, find you and shop you which are all good things for your business. While on the note of visibility, readability is similarly important. Therefore your font choice, color-contrast choice and overall design/material choice should (and must) be readable to be effective. Our expert team can help you with that.
SIGNS ARE A GOOD INVESTMENT
- It prevents you from having to re-do a mistake. Most importantly, signs are an investment that can last for years to come by taking the time to thoughtfully plan your signage approach. You can do this by starting with a comprehensive sign survey by an experienced team. Have all signage needs documented, properly measured and evaluated for permitting. This prevents any need to re-do mishaps later, and also helps you get the exact signage that’s best for your business without having to compromise on product selection due to shipping times or stock limitations.
IT FEELS GOOD
- It helps people feel good about the time they spend with you. No one likes to get lost and no one likes to hunt for something for hours that they could have found in minutes. Because of this, clear wayfinding that makes sense, corridors that are properly identified, parking areas that are labeled well, and restroom signs that can be seen at a distance are all great things that help people feel comfortable coming, going and interacting with you.
- It’s a source of pride. We know you want to feel an immense sense of pride when you drive up to your place of business and find yourself greeted by a nice, professional, branded sign that aligns with your vision for your company. You want to walk through your doors and see a continuation of that feeling on and around every surface. We know because we want it for you too and we’ve seen all the great things that great signage can do for a company like yours.
