Features Of Good Lobby Signs For Business

By Brenda Warner


It is no doubt that good marketing and branding is the backbone of a successful business. Though some entrepreneurs associate the success of any business with its location, to a greater extent, a great marketing tool such as a sign, is the main determiner. An attractive and creative sign gives your clients a warm welcome and determines the interest and confidence they will have with the services and goods you offer. This understanding has influenced many entrepreneurs to invest in different types of lobby signs for business.

When clients come to your business premise, they will first look around to see whether there is anything that could entice them. For instance, a creatively designed sign selling the vision of your enterprise can impress and make them be your regular customers. Furthermore, such a sign influences them to seek more information regarding what you offer.

To be able to effectively use signs to market the enterprise, start by learning the different types of lobby sign available and analyze their suitability. Lobby signs come in different types such as free hanging graphics, wall standoffs, raised letters, and dimensional logo panels among others. Besides choosing a particular sign, ensure it is professionally designed, printed, customized and installed to create a strong visual impact in your enterprise premise.

Choosing an appropriate sign made of poor quality materials will not fly your enterprise a mile. The materials that make the sign whether stainless steel, copper, bronze, aluminum, acrylic or foam determine whether the design and graphics on it will be catchy enough. However, it is also important to ensure that your sign has been designed properly for effectiveness, and there are three different ways of ensuring this.

Creative lighting along dimly lit corners and corridors is crucial. Lighting dark places where you have placed the sign with spectacular lighting products will make the texture and colors of the sign visible to your clients. No matter the lighting technique you choose, whether front light, pin light, the glow from behind or even back light, the lighting products should make the place look neat.

Another thing is having well-blended colors. This will determine how striking the design of your sign will be. The colors used on the sign should reinforce the identity of your business brand. If your sign demands an orange-red, you should not use a blue, red tinge because the brand and the sign color would be inconsistent and may make some clients conclude that you are confused.

The other thing is having a variety of textures that add beauty and interest to the design of your sign. Using marble and stone together will showcase the smooth and rough textures of your sign and also add interesting patterns and features that your clients will be proud of. Use natural materials such as brick or slate to give the sign a rustic feeling or even stainless steel to achieve a contemporary feeling.

A sign will not increase the productivity of your enterprise without creative graphics and artistic design. How well the sign interprets the brand and vision of your enterprise determines how fast the clients identify with the goods or services it offers. Any sign that satisfies the above three design aspects easily directs new clients to your office even if they are located upstairs.
