Promote Your Business from the Outside In

It is really funny how so many offline businesses have not seen the huge advantage in outdoor signage. Outdoor signage works seven days a week, 24hours a day, whether you are open or closed. Use it to its full advantage.

When using signage, don’t clutter the words, just a few words outlining what you do and when you are open. Make the colours stand out and check any artwork thoroughly for spelling or grammatical mistakes.

Of course, you should be aware of local government regulations governing signage restrictions such as size. Work with these regulations but make your signs as you legally can.

Before you decide on sign-writing, look around and see the styles used by other businesses watch out for those ones you like and what catches your eye.

Check out your competitors’ offices, shops or factories to determine how you could make your business signage more appealing to potential customers.
