Designing Signs: Beauty, Balance and Brand

Three Things A Custom LED Or Digital Sign Can Do For Your Small Retail Business

Decorating and promoting a new retail business can be very rewarding, but also difficult. By purchasing a custom LED sign or digital sign, you can enhance the look of your store and benefit your business in three major ways, as described below.

Bring In Shoppers From The Street

The more people you can bring into your small shop, the more sales you can potentially make. This is supported by evidence that is presented by Connecteam, which explains that 95% of potential customers find the exterior appearance of a shop is extremely or somewhat important. By placing a LED or digital sign outside your store, you can catch the attention of people walking past. This is especially true if the sign moves, changes or scrolls, as the movement will draw people's eyes to your shop. However, think carefully about the wording, images or colours you want to use, as you don't want it to look too flashy or tacky. By working with a company that makes or provides customisable LED signs, you can ensure that the sign matches the vibe of your business perfectly.

Enhance The Atmosphere Of Your Shop

Whether a LED or digital sign will enhance the look of your shop interior or not depends largely on what your shop sells and how it is decorated, but for many types of store, it can be a wonderful enhancement. For example, a digital sign can provide some much-needed decoration to a modern, minimalist shop, while a scrolling LED sign can provide a quirky bit of colour to a vintage space. Even if you decide not to have information on your sign, you could choose to use a sign simply as décor. For example, your clothing store might benefit from an LED sign with a body-positive, inspirational quote in the changing rooms or a bookshop from a digital sign that displays a range of famous quotes. Whatever the situation, there's sure to be something that suits your space.

Give Your Customers Important Information

As well as bringing in customers and making your shop look amazing, you can use LED and digital signs to explain things to your customers. For example, it might be a good idea to signpost different parts of your shop, such as having LED signs that say 'changing rooms', 'games' or 'toilets' to help customers figure out where things are. You might also want to use a sign to highlight new products. A changing LED or digital sign might be a good idea if you want to display changing information like special offers, new items, recommendations or messages to shoppers. You could also use a digital sign to show today's specials if you own a food business like an ice cream shop, deli or chocolate shop.

If you make sure that your new LED or digital sign suits the look of your shop and meets your business needs, you're sure to bring in extra foot traffic, make your shop look amazing and be able to communicate important messages and information to your customers easily.
