In today’s internet-driven age, it’s not likely that most potential customers will take the time to go inside and investigate a store to see if it’s worth buying anything from. This means that to draw people in from the street, you need effective signs to show them that you offer something relevant to them, and you have prices or deals that make your offerings worth their time. Having one simple sign isn’t going to give a person this kind of impression, you need more information to convey what your business can offer them. When you think of storefront signs, you may only think of the big block letters above the door. However, there’s a variety of storefront signs which you can use to attract attention and drive sales.

Channel Letter Signs

These are the big block letter signs above your door. While you can always use more than just one sign, your channel letter sign will draw attention first and have the biggest impression. That’s why it’s important to have a striking, attractive channel sign that can put an idea in potential customers’ heads of what they can expect from your business. Signs in general are a mix of clear and subliminal messaging. The clear message being the name of your business and possibly a slogan. Subliminal messaging could be anything from the logo you include to the colors you choose. All of these things give people an impression of your business, and if you get it right then you can bring in customers who know what to expect and who want to be there.

Window Signs

We’ve all gone past a business and seen large window signs advertising either their products or services, or some deal they have active. No matter what kind of experience you want to give your customers, window signs are never a bad idea. Some people think of window signs as tacky, but that doesn’t have to be the case. The sign doesn’t have to be huge letters and numbers in a loud neon color. You can choose a more elegant font and colors that fit seamlessly with your storefront’s design. Also, don’t count those loud window signs out. They tell you right away what’s being offered, and they draw attention better than most signs.

Outdoor Standalone Signs

If you’re a business that runs promotions and changes them regularly, then you could benefit from A-Frame signs or waterproof posters. A-Frame signs are built like a wet floor sign, but they can have anything you want on them. You could put images or text on them, or you could even put a blackboard on them for frequent promotional changes. Waterproof posters can be stuck on a small sign like you might see in the sales section of a clothing store. If you stick one of these outside near your door, people walking by will know you’ve got a promotion going on without anyone having to stand out there announcing it.
