How Outdoor Business Signs Will Help You in 2020
“Hey Google, take me to…”
Google and Apple Maps can help potential customers navigate to your location, but they cannot get them inside your store or office. Directional signs and storefront signs are essential for helping the visitor take the next step into your business. If your outdoor signage looks out-of-date, worn or unattractive, you risk losing an otherwise positive lead.
Going viral is the only way to go
Your business needs to “go viral” on social media in 2020. Banner sign images across Jacksonville are one of the best ways to get into the ‘trending’ feeds on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Captivating messages will grab peoples’ attention and ensure lots of “shares” and “likes” that will help grow your online presence – and your customer base offline.
Standing out from the competition
The smartphone has made the marketplace a lot smaller and more competitive. Even local corner stores, which were otherwise safe from faraway competitors stealing customers, have new worries due to technology. Use custom exterior signs to establish a unique identity as well as promote local businesses. Jobs, sales, construction and taxes are generated by local businesses. The importance of local businesses goes a long way to dictating buying behavior and decisions in support of the local economy.
Becoming a local landmark
Storefront signs and A-frame signs have had success creating business traffic, but to really stand out you need custom exterior signs that have the potential to become local landmarks. Unique channel letters, dimensional letters and custom-lit signs are just a few examples of signs that can become iconic locally, reinforcing the emphasis and importance of “buying local”.
