Roadside

Roadside signs are extremely important since they are what first draws a customer in. Naturally, exterior signs will be the best bet due to their durability and size. If you are in a plaza, a pylon sign will do the trick to advertise all stores in the area. Exterior signs are often eye-catching when they are illuminated so consider illuminated signs or electronic signs. Reader boards are the traditional electronic sign, capable of displaying messages for passersby. For a cheaper option, consider lawn or bag signs. They can be printed vibrantly to ensure visibility.  

Parking Lot

If your retail store has a parking lot, use traffic signs! Not only are they for safety, they can also indicate where customers can park exclusively for your store. This will make it easier for you to know when you have a customer and easier for them to find a parking spot. A win/win situation!

Building Entrance

Your store's entrance is the perfect place to display your company name and possibly a slogan. It's a staple of signage, and very important in identifying your store as your own. Channel letter signs are extremely popular nowadays to provide illuminated lettering, but you can also use individual cut letters for a more refined and basic alternative. Illuminated signs, which only illuminate at night, are also an option. Keep in mind what your store can afford to look after and what would be most effective for your location.

Store Isles and Store Shelves

Name tags and aisle signs are extremely important for retail stores. Depending on the size of the store, signs like these are often life or death for a customer's ease of access. Tags and signs like these are also good for displaying prices and can be customized to show any sales or deals that might be on while your customers shop.  

Store Exit

Banners are always a good idea not only for a store's exterior, but also its interior. A banner could announce some last minute information to a customer as they leave or wish them a good rest of their day.

Inside Washrooms

If your retail store has washrooms, then washroom signage is your time to show your creative side! Signage designating proper washrooms can be sophisticated or silly. Overhead signage is also a good idea to direct your guests to washrooms for ease of access in an emergency.

Store Floors

Floors are often overlooked for signage possibilities. Why not try something new and use an A-frame sign to advertise deals or products? Using a-frame signs will also increase the attention given to lower shelves where customers could find amazing deals. "Tim and Simon make my job easier. I honestly could not ask for a better partner.
