Sign Buyers Generally Only Buy A Sign Once. We’ll Make It Easier On You With This Guide.
If you’re buying a sign there are a few things you need to be thinking about:
- Your local government will likely regulate your signage. These regulations are going to be important when you select your signage. Your government or landlord will usually require you to obtain a sign permit or (depending) an electrical permit. You need to make sure you attain these before putting up your sign. Often times these terms are put into your lease, so check there as a start if you are leasing your space.
- Your next consideration should be the sign design. Often you’ll see there are restrictions on the dimensions and type of sign you can put up in your lease. Once you understand these criteria, you can move on to the important things from a business perspective. These include impact and readability. Impact is about getting your customers head to turn, and readability is about their ability to quickly comprehend what the sign is about. A great sign has both.
- Furthermore you should consider the sign type you want to put up. This has to do with the style of the sign, the material it’s made up of, and if the sign is electrical or not. These elements all play into the cost of your sign buying experience. Generally the bigger & more appealing materials will cost more, but will do more for your business.
- Last primary consideration is time. You need to get started as soon as you can, because the permitting process reaching into the design & creation of your sign can easily take 4-6 weeks to complete. That means it will be about a month to a month and half before you can expect your sign to be up.

This plays into the cost of operating your sign. How you will be able to maintenance your sign in the future is another important point of consideration.
The length your potential customers will be away from your sign when they are trying to read it is one of the most important factors for you to consider. The type of building you have also plays into this because this will cause limitations on the size of your sign and how it can be installed.
