Spring Cleaning for Business Signage
Spring Cleaning for Business Signage 150 150 84 Sign Shop

As we welcome the arrival of the spring season and sunshine, consider refreshing your business’s outdoor signage with some spring cleaning! With the brighter days ahead, clean and well-maintained signage not only enhances your storefront’s appearance but also attracts the attention of potential customers. Take advantage of the season to give your signage a professional makeover, which is a direct reflection of your brands image!

Keeping Your Signage Clean


Over time, outdoor signage is prone to accumulating dust and grime, which can diminish its overall appearance. Regular cleaning is key to maintaining signs that are consistently eye-catching and appear new. To clean the signage, use a soft cloth and a mild detergent to wipe down the signs. For more challenging spots that are harder to reach, a gentle spray of water can effectively refresh the sign’s appearance.

Cleaning Window Decals


Window decals serve as a great way to attract attention to your storefront and convey essential information like store hours. However, for them to be truly effective, it’s crucial to ensure they stay in good condition and remain easily readable.

The recommended method for cleaning window decals involves a gentle hand wash using a basic soap mixture. Utilizing a squeegee or power washer is not advised, as these can peel off the decals. Additionally, harsh chemicals should be avoided, as they can potentially damage the decals.

Cleaning Aluminum Signage


Although aluminum signage is more durable against the elements compared to many other materials, it still requires maintenance to retain its pristine appearance. Regular cleaning is key to ensuring your signs remain bright, shiny, and eye catching!

To clean an aluminum sign effectively, use a solution of slightly soapy water and a soft cotton cloth. It’s essential to avoid using anything stronger, as harsh chemicals can rapidly degrade the material and cause damage to the sign.

Remove Obstructions


During the winter, trees and shrubs often become overgrown, making it challenging to see certain signage. Understandably, trimming shrubs in cold weather isn’t the most appealing task. However, with the arrival of nicer weather, it becomes crucial to tidy up around your signs, ensuring they are easily visible as more people venture outdoors!

Elevate the Fan Experience with Signage

Thousands of fans enter arenas and stadiums to watch their favorite athletes and teams play each year. Whether the teams are successful or not, the surroundings of graphics and signage are extremely important to create the electric atmosphere. Game day signage is important and a direct representation of the brand, boosts the fan experience, and helps create an exciting atmosphere.

Wall Decals

Wall decals are one of the most common advertising tools in sports. The visuals not only create brand awareness but help connect with the fans and convey messages for informational or entertainment purposes. You can effortlessly stick different designs, patterns, or lettering wall decals to almost any surface.

  • Wall graphics allow fans see their favorite players and action shots up close! Add and customize graphics to match your team colors or even put an image of your mascot!
  • Educate the spectators on the history of the teams by showcasing your winning records and stat breakers! Fans would love to see and study it during a timeout or half time! It gives the fans an opportunity to learn more about the team.  

Pole Banners

Pole banners are an additional way to advertise. Branding the exterior of your building is just as important as the interior. Pole banners will be the first thing your fans see arriving at the event and the last thing they see leaving the game. There are multiple options for pole banners which can be easily swapped out or updated throughout the seasons.

Signage

Signage is another tool for advertising your brand. There are many different types of signage you can use to catch the fans’ attention. Signage comes in a variety of shapes and sizes and can be used indoors or outdoors.

  • Concession stand signage is crucial to have for when fans are waiting in line for a drink or some snacks.
  • When arenas are too big, fans are easily confused, therefore directional signage assists the fans to navigate where they need to go. It’s such a simple yet helpful addition to any venue.
  • Show off some branded visuals with sponsorship signage. These visuals will bring recognition to sponsors and corporate partners your team has. The signage will showcase the relationship between the sponsors and the sports teams.

Ground Decals

Ground decals help increase brand awareness as well as assist in directing foot traffic. With custom floor decals, you can improve the visibility and branding while enhancing the customer experience.

  • Ground decals are highly visible from a distance. People are accustomed to viewing traditional advertising methods, therefore ground decals are a unique way to highlight your brand.
  • You can educate fans with floor graphics and show off facts, information, or achievements.
  • Ground decals help control customer traffic and the flow of your arena.
  • Add more color and designs with customizing graphics for different locations all around the arena.

Regardless of a team’s record, you want to make sure the fans leave with great memories and experiences. Fans are a vital part of a team’s success by providing support, energy, and financial sustenance while also contributing to the excitement, and entertainment to the sports they love. Signage assists in entertaining and educating your fanbase and will help provide a memorable experience.

Tips for the Perfect Banner
Tips for the Perfect Banner 150 150 84 Sign Shop

Banners grab attention, drive traffic and are an important part of advertising your business or team. Banners are a great tool to stand out and draw people’s attention. There are different ways you can go about designing the perfect banner.

Simplicity is Best

  • Your banner should have the least number of words as possible, while still getting your message across to the audience. You want the word count to range between five to ten words. Too much wording will take too long to read and lead to confusion.
  • The audience may see your banner for only a few seconds, and it might be the only time they will ever see your banner. A great banner will grab the reader’s attention and make them to want to learn more!
  • You want the lettering to be big and bold enough to read. Try to stay away from fonts that would affect the visibility of the banner. Use no more than two font styles and keep a cohesive font across all of your branding. The headline should be the biggest size and font, then the details should be smaller.

Make Sure it’s Durable

  • Since your banner may be outside for long periods of time, using strong materials will make sure it stays in the best shape. We have many different options for long lasting banners. Some of the sizing options are the 7 oz, 13 oz, and 18 oz. We offer fence banners, pole banners, retractable banners, and feather flags.

Banner Size and Location

  • Decide what size will be best for your banner. The size of it will depend on the location and how noticeable you request it to be.
  • Common sizes include 8’x4’ or 7’x3’ (standard sizes for fence banners), 24’x16’ or 48’x16’ (billboards), and 4’x16’ (mesh stage banner or also known as speaker mesh).

Images and Colors

  • Add just the right number of images and to complete your banner. Too many images can cause confusion!
  • Add color to make your banner stand out – most times, brands are recognized by their colors and logos!
  • Use colors that draw attention to themselves and have a different way of expressing the message.

Here are a few color combinations that go well together:

  • Black, dark blue, gray, or red lettering on a white background
  • White or yellow lettering on a black background.
  • White or yellow lettering on a dark blue background.
  • Black or red lettering on a light blue background.
  • Black, dark blue, or red lettering on a yellow background.
  • Yellow or white lettering on a red background.

Banners make an instant impression and impact on people as soon as they are spotted on the road, street, buildings, or even cars. Let us help you design the perfect banner and get recognized!
