Signage for Your Business
A good outdoor
sign can encourage customers to enter your
business. You can have a powerful impact on
human emotions and actions by using a great
design, proper colors, and well designed
lighting.
By
creating an emotional response, you can directly
impact a potential customer’s desire to enter
your establishment. You can get just the
response you are looking for by applying
powerful visual graphics and wording to your
outdoor signage.
Your branding – or consistent image you are
presenting to the public – has a huge impact on
how successful your business will be. Effective
branding is the key behind your toughest
competitors. Signage is a part of just about
every business, and for many it is that one
chance to show their image. An effective logo is
essential to every company. Your logo should be
a good reflection of your firm and the products
or services you sell. While you never want to
mimic other top businesses, you don’t always
have to start from scratch when you are creating
a logo. You can create a unique image for your
firm by focusing on the images and lines that
are a natural part of your industry.
You will get lots of assistance walking though
the creation of your signage if you hire a
professional that specializes in signage design.
They will ask lots of questions to be sure they
are creating an image that truly reflects your
business. Your sign is the first impression many
people will have of your business; you want to
make sure it is a positive one.
Visual Basics of Importance
The image you create will be a reflection of
your business and a powerful sales tool. This
does not mean that you will need to spend an
incredible amount of money to get an effective
look. Something that is more expensive is not
necessarily more effective.
A good sign will capture the buyer’s attention
and teach them about your products or services.
Your corporate image should be reinforced by the
look of the sign. Your signage should be full of
images that call to mind your business and
industry. Be careful with the colors that you
use on your sign, as many have a way of
attracting certain genders. Be sure that the
image reflected by the colors and fonts that you
choose is both professional and attractive. It
is best to always avoid fonts that are not
easily read from a distance and neon colors.
Every city or town around the country has legal
guidelines for outdoor signage. Be sure your
signage is within the legal limits for your
area, while still visible to potential
customers. For you message to be read from 100
feet away, you will need to have a letter height
of at least 4 inches. When your sign has a lot
of competition for people’s attention, a busy
intersection for example, it is best to have a
letter height of at least 10 inches.
Remember that your sign will elicit an emotional
response from your target audience. Your sign
will also be the image that your business is
known by for many people. It is a good idea to
have a standard image across your signage,
business cards, letterhead, and other marketing
material to create an effective brand. Your
professional and consistent marketing message is
sure to have a positive impact on everyone who
sees it.
