Different Types Of Business Signs

By Margaret Watson


Most businesses will promote themselves by advertising their services locally to improve turnover. If the company has premises then a great way to do this is to have Business Signs erected to alert potential clients to the building. There are infinite types of signage that can be used and it can often be a cost effective way to boost sales.

There are many professional sign makers who can produce custom signage made to your own designs. A small panel or flag is often enough for some small companies and bigger illuminated box signs can be used for a greater effect. Modern day innovations have resulted in programmable signs being offered which enable them to be controlled by computer giving infinite options.

For as little as a few hundred dollars you can get a small panel made featuring your company name, telephone contact details and a company logo. Bigger signage can be made which will give more room to list your services and maybe pictures and other graphics. A computer programmable sign will cost significantly more as additional kit will be needed to make the display function.

Moving adverts are always a great way to catch the eye of potential customers that may be passing by. Signage fitted with motors allowing them to spin and change color are a popular choice and very effective. Some box type signage can be purchased with a sound option so that sound tracks and speech can be heard when the unit is activated which can also draw attention.

The use of vivid colors in your sign is a very good way to improve the effect of a panel or light box. Brightly colored text which is then illuminated from behind will usually draw the eye of people walking by. Flickering signs and neon tubes are another way to create a striking visual effect which will stand out more than a basic lettered design.

If you decide to use signs to promote your company it is important to take some time to think about the main points you want to get across. Aside from the name of the company it can be useful to list some of the services you offer and email addresses and even the owners name can help. Pictures of products you make or sell can also be a great addition to signage as this shows customers what they are getting.

Any signage that you use to advertise your business should always be maintained and kept in pristine condition as it is the first impression to many customers. Routine cleaning is essential and replacement of worn lettering and photos is needed if they happen to fade in sunlight. If it is an illuminated panel then all bulbs should be functional at all times and spares kept should any need replacing.

If you decide to put signs on the side of a building or on the roof it may be necessary to seek permission from the town authority. A small banner or panel can often be used without applying for permits but it is worth checking before having displays made. The manufacturer of your promotional materials will be able to advise you if you do need to make any applications for permits.
