    How Can You Make a Sign More Noticeable?

    Here are a few tips for making you business signs more noticeable:

    • Illuminate your sign so that it can be seen 24/7

    • Choose an easy-to-read font with large enough letters that can be viewed from far away

    • Use a complementary colour palette to give it a professional appearance

    • Add graphics or pictures to make your sign more interesting

    • Give your business signs depth by using contrasting colors, shading, or 3D effects to help them pop

    • Invest in digital signage to keep your message and image fresh

    What Are the Best Color Combinations For My Sign(s)?

    If you want your business sign to really stand out then try to use a color combination that is highly visible such as:

    • Light-colored letters on a black or dark blue background

    • White letters on a yellow or red background

    • Dark-colored letters on a white background

    • Black, red, or dark blue letters on a yellow background

    Who Should I Buy Business Signs From?

    That’s an easy one! Signage Inc. in Birmingham, AL! Realistically, we know you have a choice to make, so let’s talk about why it’s so important to work with a local company who can take care of the design, fabrication, installation, and maintenance of your sign for you.

    You may find a lower price online, however, the company that makes your sign will probably be different than the one that installs it. If you work with a local company they will be close by if you have any issues, plus, they will be familiar with any local regulations regarding signage and can help you to get any permits you might need.

    What Types of Signs Are Available?

    There are many different types of business signs to choose from. Check these out to see examples and learn more about each one that we offer at Signage Inc.

    What Should I Put On My Business Sign(s)?

    What you put on your business signs will largely be determined by the amount of space you have and the purpose of your signs.

    If you are designing a large storefront sign then you want to have your company name, and logo in large enough print so that it can be seen from far away or by passerbyers on the highway. It is important not to crowd it with too much information.

    On the other hand, if you are designing signs for your front doors, then you would include your company name, logo, business hours, address and other contact information.

    Where Should They Be Installed?

    You want to install your signs where they will get noticed most by your target customers. 

    A storefront sign on the outside of your building will help people know where you are located. However, if your business is set back from the road, you may also want to invest in a pylon or monument sign at the side of the road. This will ensure that passing traffic and potential customers won't miss you.

    Do I Really Need a Business Sign?

    An effective business sign is a really cost-effective and brilliant way of advertising your business. Once it is installed, it will work 24 hours a day 365 days a year to attract business for you.
