There are many types of signs that you can use for your company

What’s the best type of Sign for company use?

1. Sign for Company: Storefront

Having multiple signs for your business is the best way to market your company, however, if you only have a budget for one type of sign, start out with a great storefront sign.

A storefront sign will let your potential customers know who you are and what you do. If it is designed well, then it can make your building stand out from the ones around it.

Storefront signs come in a variety of materials, sizes, and shapes. They can be:

  • Back-lit

  • Non-illuminating

  • Pin-mounted letters

  • Mounted over the storefront as a light-box

If you choose to light up your sign, then it will be seen even better at night and on darker days.

2. Sign for Company: Pylon or Monument

Both pylon and monument signs are placed out at the road in front of your storefront to let passing traffic know where you are located. They are a perfect choice if your business is set back from the street or if you have a large parking lot in front of it.

The main difference between pylon and monument signs is their height. Pylon signs are much taller and can be seen from great distances.

Monument signs are usually no more than about 5 feet high. They are a great option if you have restrictions about the size of signage at your location.

Pylon signs are often used for businesses such as grocery stores, box stores, hotels, and gas stations whereas monument signs are popular for lawyers’ offices, medical centres, financial institutions, and educational institutions.

3. Sign for Company: Interior

There are many different types of interior signage that you can use to complement your outdoor signage and continue to promote your brand image including:

Professionally designed interior signage will not only help your customers know who you are and where they need to go, but it’s also a great design element that adds colour and style to your building.

4. Sign for Company: Banners

Banners are an inexpensive and effective promotional tool for your business. You can hang them on the outside of your building to advertise a great sale that you are running or let customers know about a grand opening for a new location.

You can also get banners that are mounted on retractable stands making them easy to move around and take with you to further promote your business or event.

You can use banners inside or outside

5. Sign for Company: Wayfinding Signage

Wayfinding signage is signs that let people know how to get from one location to the next in your business. Wayfinding signs can:

  • Show you where to park

  • Let you know which entrance to use

  • Tell you what floor your business is located on

  • Show you where the stairs and elevators are

  • Indicate what office is behind which door

  • Point out where the washrooms are

Having a well-thought-out wayfinding system for your building will make visitors feel much more at home and it will empower them to easily find what they are looking for.

It will also save time for your reception staff as they will not have to spend as much time directing people to various parts of your building.

Wayfinding signage helps visitors find their way around your building

6. Sign for Company: Awnings

If your company building is unremarkable, then adding a beautiful awning over your entrance can make an otherwise boring facade come to life.

An awning can also provide welcome protection for customers who have to wait outside when it is raining or if the sun is exceptionally hot. In addition, an awning can be designed to complement your storefront signage and further promote your brand image.

A custom awning can provide protection and visual interest

7. Sign for Company: Vehicle Graphics

Vehicle graphics are a wonderful form of travelling marketing that can advertise your company wherever you are driving or parking. If you have a business that does deliveries or provides services such as:

  • Plumbers

  • Electricians

  • Construction Companies

  • Home Improvements

  • Florists

then decking your company vehicle out with a graphic that says who you are, what you do, and how to contact you is a perfect way to drum up more business.

What our customers are saying…

I recently upgraded my signage to reflect the new corporate logo. Adrian & his team were downright professional; they came on time on the day they promised to be; removed the old signage; and installed the new ones; all in a span of 3-hrs. WOW! They even left me with a spray bottle that I can use to clean the inside of my windows. Thank you, guys! I cannot say enough how happy I am with their service, attention to detail, & workmanship. Oh, did I mention that their pricing was very reasonable? I cannot speak enough of their professionalism; the guys really enjoyed their work ... a happy crew creates a positive experience, thereby making a very happy customer! I highly recommend them.
