As the saying goes, “the first impression is the last impression”. This is an important point to remember when you are shopping for a storefront sign for your business. Ideally, you should go for a sign that makes a good first impression. Different signage makers provide a wide range of storefront sign options. Whether you need A-boards or swing signs for promotional purposes, choosing the best types of storefront for your business is crucial.
Let us look as some of the best types of storefront signs that can leave a lasting impression on your clients.
- Punched Metal Signs and Illuminated Channel Letters
Both punched metal signs and channel letters are pleasing to the eyes. Channel letters are suitable where the bold impression of your business logo or name is needed. They are usually opaque with lights placed behind them to illuminate the edges to create a kind of 3D effect. Punched metal signs also have a similar look, but use laser-cutting technology for a more elegant finish.
- Awing Storefront Signs
Awning storefront signs are among the most popular business signage in urban areas due to their multipurpose design. While they are typically used as storefront signs, they also have the added advantage of providing shelter from rain and harsh sunlight. So, you will probably have people coming to look for shade underneath it and while they are at it, they will see the different products you have in your store and end up coming inside to buy something.
- Fabric Signage
Fabric storefront signs are also very popular because they are easy to replace, durable and washable. Furthermore, you can have them shipped from anywhere and installing them doesn’t require any technical expertise. Fabric signs are not illuminated, but you can use external lights to make sure they stay visible to your clientele.
- Glass Signage
If you are searching for a more cost-effect storefront signage option, then you can request a signage maker to print the storefront description on the glass walls of the store. The best implementation of this is where your business logo and a catchy phrase are printed in large fonts on the glass.
- Plywood Swing Boards
Are you looking for a more old-school or vintage storefront signage? Plywood swing boards may be the perfect solution for you. They are easy to source but may require a little but more care when compared to other types of storefront signs as wood gets damaged by weather and harsh elements more easily. Coated/painted planks are more durable when properly maintained.
- Illuminated Sign Boxes
An alternative to glass signage or wall signage is the use of A-boards and sign boxes. While both are effective options, we will focus on illuminated sign boxes because they glow at night. Illuminated sign boxes have a light source inside the signage that makes it visible at all times.
In conclusion, there are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to storefront signs. The best option for you will depend on your specific needs and preferences.
