Designing Signs: Beauty, Balance and Brand

Need New Commercial Signage? How To Get The Placement Right

When you own a business, having the right signage is crucial for success. However, proper signage goes beyond using the right branding or choosing the colours. Proper signage also involves the element of placement. Without proper placement, your signage won't be nearly as effective as you need it to be. If you're ready to invest in new signage for your commercial building, read the list provided below. You'll find four tips that will help you choose the proper placement for your new signage. 

Ensure Proper Visibility

When it comes time to install your new commercial signage, you want to make sure that the locations you choose can provide maximum visibility. Signage that's blocked by foliage, buildings or other signs doesn't provide the visibility you need for your business. Before you install your new signage, have your installation contractor assess visibility aspects around your commercial building. Choosing the right height and width for your signage can ensure proper visibility. It's also a good idea to include lighting for your signage as well; lighting increases visibility, especially at night. 

Consider The Elements

If you're going to invest in new signage for your commercial building, be sure to consider the elements. This is especially important where exterior signs are concerned. For instance, if your signage will be exposed to high winds, you want to upgrade the installation process to avoid wind damage. If your signs will be exposed to extreme temperatures (which is likely during Australian summers), you want to choose a material that can withstand the heat. 

Avoid Signage Danger

When planning for the installation of your new signage, consider potential hazards. You might not realise this, but the wrong signage placement could put your customers at risk for accidents and injuries. Unfortunately, injuries caused by your commercial signage could put you at risk for liability. To avoid those risks, install your signage in places that don't pose safety risks. For instance, place hanging signage away from foot traffic. That way, the signage won't cause injuries if it happens to come loose from its fasteners. 

Plan For The Future

Finally, now that you're investing in new commercial signage, be sure to plan for future expansion. You never know when you might expand your business into neighbouring retail space. If that happens, you want to make sure that you don't need to relocate your signage. Proper placement will allow your signage to grow with your business.
