If you need a sign, you might be finding yourself wondering what type of sign you might need. We wanted to make it easy for you to understand what kind of signs your business might want to make use of by listing a few of the more common sign types.
Building Mounted Signs
Signs that are on a building’s exterior can serve as a great calling card to all customers who walk by or are trying to find your business. Here is a list of the available mounted signs for your business.
Awnings – Extend from the building, typically above the door. It can serve as shelter and comes in almost any shape.
Canopy Sign – Similar to an awning, except it doesn’t provide much shelter.
Parapet Sign – A Sign which you mount on a wall or railing that runs along the edge of the roof.
Projecting Sign – A sign that you mount on the building but extends at a perpendicular angle.
Roof Sign – A sign mounted on the roof of the building.
Window Sign – may be either attached or applied to the window.
Channel Letter Signs – Large mounted letters on the center display of your building. These are great for letting people know where your business is, particularly in strip malls.
Digital Signs
A large screen or screens displaying a message that can be dynamically changed. There are more uses for these than you might initially think.
Lobby area signs – Studies show that digital displays in a lobby are significantly reduce perceived wait time. These also increase your brand awareness. So, if you have long wait times in your lobby, this might be the sign for you.
Video wall displays – Create a high impact since screens show a variety of messages or combine for one large image.
Restaurant Menu Signs – These are very useful for restaurants who have frequently changing menus. Plus, they look much cleaner than other types of menu signs.
External Digital Signs – Great for announcing sales & other new, exciting things going on in your business.
Point-of-purchase displays – Studies show that grocery stores using dynamic digital signage see a 33% increase in additional sales for the product being advertised. If you have a general store/grocery store, this type of signage is for you.
Interior Signs
Interior signs are used to direct people around your building, as well as promote anything you want to stand out inside it. Here are a few of the most common interior signs:
Directional or wayfinding signs – These can help customers and employees navigate your business by, for example, pointing to specific departments inside your location.
Directory signs – You can use these in buildings with multiple tenants, or a development with a group of buildings.
Regulatory signs – It’s often necessary to reinforce a rule, ordinance, or law most commonly with ADA compliance for businesses.
Vehicle Wraps
We’ve done a blog on this in the past, but it’s worth mentioning here as well. Vehicle wraps are some of the most cost-effective ways to get your brand in front of people. If you have a team or fleet, it should be mandatory. It makes you seem more professional and gets you more customers overnight.
