Why Should You Invest in Outdoor Signs?

Although a lot of people do not pay much attention to the outdoor signs, they can make the probability of brand awareness much higher. An easy and common example could be during a sale. If you’re a new brand and don’t have a lot of recognition, you can display a real estate sign post showing a sale you have going on; this will attract customers as they always look for good quality and affordable rates, hence are great fans of sales!

When you have your signboards on a random street or mall, maybe near another shop, it will catch your audiences’ attention and they will show interest towards you by entering your store. This is highly beneficial if you do not have a nice store location and don’t expect people to come there for shopping, this way you can get brand awareness!

According to recent studies, outdoor signs have boosted brand sales increasingly! Because customers are interested in your products or services after having a look at the brands’ signboards.

Although Canada is moving towards a phase of digital advertising, street side businesses must still rely on business signage to help bring in customers, something which is considered as the largest hurdle. One of the essential strategies for effective branding and marketing is Outdoor Signage.

For an effective outdoor signage for your business we recommend you should follow the 4 B’s :

• Big – Firstly all outdoor signs should be large enough so one can easily see them. Secondly the size of the artwork should be such that it covers the maximum space provided by the sign. Sizing your text is the best way to size your sign. The basic formula:  1” letter for every 10’ distance is the minimum recommended. Eg. if you want your sign to be seen from 30’ away, go for 3” at least. However considering the complete artwork the formula of 1”:3’ is the best for maximum visibility of your outdoor signs.

• Brief – For the best marketing message on the outdoor sign for your audience, always remember that “less is more!”. Since most of them would be driving, you have a very tight window of approximately 3 seconds to attract your audience. The more text you incorporate the less likely are the chances that it would be read hence failing the ultimate purpose of the sign. Therefore Keep it Brief!

• Branded – If you think that 85% of your potential customers pass by your business then outdoor sign is a perfect product to promote your brand. It is important that your brand should be recognizable and the more often your target audience sees it the more recognizable it becomes. Ensure you include your logo and company colors on your signage. Also your advertising fonts should be consistent to achieve a good brand recognition.

• Bold – Interesting facts to share: Full colored sign creates the best impact. Use of images creates 300% more recall than the artwork without the images. High resolution imagery should be used for best results. Studies have proven that adding extra color improves reader retention by 78%. Contrast is the key to your outdoor sign’s artwork so either use a dark background with a light text or vice versa. Do not settle for dull and boring text and make a lasting impression using these outdoor signs!
