Signage and Signboards – Important for business

 

Signage Is Important To Business – Signage is an essential part of any business. Business’ signage varies from wall signs, window signage, sidewalk signs, floor signs, and more. Each of these serves a different purpose and good signage furnishes customers and prospective customers with indistinct yet important, communication cues, boost brand awareness, and finally helps to increase sale.

Signs are beneficial for functional purposes or branding but at the same time, it’s important to remember that a customer doesn’t always just look at a company’s logo but recounts the whole experience from introduction to close of the sale. Offering customers clear, concise, and branded signage help to gain customers as well as improve product sales.

Five reasons for getting good signage: –

1. Effective and clear communication – Signs with too much information for customers often contain excessive text and/or graphics. This is called cognitive overload when customers’ working memory can’t process the “overload” of information they’re receiving. Keeping in mind that customers have a limited amount of working memory, leads to a negative perception of a company’s brand apart from adversely affecting their decision-making abilities. This is the last thing any company would want to happen. Furnishing clear communication through signage is a great way to stop cognitive overload and increase the chance of purchases.

There are two common types of communication through signage

• DIRECTIONAL SIGNAGE – This signage intends to guide customers for directions to someplace. For example – restrooms, parking, customer service, cashier, information, main office, specific offices in the case of multiple tenant buildings, and so on.
• SAFETY STANDARD SIGNAGE- It is devised to forewarn dangers, identify locations of safety equipment (fire extinguishers, first aid, AED), warn of danger and areas where caution needs to be exercised, identify exit routes and/or doors, and in the past few months, Safety signs in Abu Dhabi also provide COVID-related safety measures relating to social distancing guidelines, COVID-related symptoms, and tips on how to “stop the spread.”

• Brand Identification – Branding is extremely vital for any product and keeping consistency throughout your space is even more important. A 2012 FedEx survey found that 76% of consumers will enter a shop they’ve never visited before based on the strength of the signage. However, 52% said they would be reluctant to shop if the signs were not clear (cognitive overload may play a role here). Signage must suit your brand vision and present the brand as a leader in the market space. Ensure that signage reflects your brand’s character and identity by working with a designer who can follow the band guidelines. Special attention should be given to
• create an effective logo (generic is a brand-killer)
• maintain font size (larger is usually better)
• colours used (think of the colours used for brands like Coke, Apple, Home Depot, etc.)
• the contrast between colours used on the signage (Colour contrast works better.)

• Improves Brand Awareness- Signage needs to give a great first impression to anyone and everyone who sees it. Furthermore, apt branding will increase the number of times a person sees the logo, keeping the brand at top-of-mind. Portray company’s brand through good signage—including graphics, fonts, and colours—the tiniest tweaks can make all the difference. and allows the brand to stand out from competitors in various places throughout the customer journey.

• Capture the Right Audience – Signs can and likely will turn potential customers into purchasing customers. Clear signage can make all the difference

• Cost-Effective Strategy-Signage is extremely cost-effective as compared to the pay-per-impression (PPI) style of advertising. Here we pay for each advertisement that is placed via email, on social media, and through other media outlets like television, radio, print, and so on. Signage, on the other hand, is a one-time, up-front cost and indefinitely, making it a wise and lucrative investment for hard-earned businesses. Signboard Manufacturers deal in various signboards like Glow sign boards, 3D acrylic letters, 3D acrylic letters with aluminium casing, etc.
