One of the most difficult tasks is moving to a new location, not even considering the signs and graphics that are required. It involves a series of difficult steps. A new location has to be found and assessed. A little negotiation will have to take place at least to reduce the cost if possible. After that, a contract is signed with the landlord.
Sometimes, there may be a lot of renovation and retrofitting and then, planning of space and decoration. However, the most important part is making clients and customers locate the new office easily. This is why there should be temporary outdoor signs & graphics, interior signs and all necessary signs installed. Carrying these steps out is not as easy as they sound. However, with some of the following tips outlined below, things can be a whole lot easier.
Give your customers as much notice as possible
Any company that is about to move needs to give their customers a notice long before the date. Thereafter, they will need to be sending regular reminders. They have to give their customers as much information as they have about their relocation.
If the date is set, the date should be given in the notice. The new address should also be given. It is necessary they follow it up with regular reminders because customers may just bear it in mind that they are moving, they may not pay attention to the date. Besides, the date will initially appear further than it really is.
Apart from mails and text messages, it is necessary to install a temporary we-are-moving-soon business signs to remind customers as they come in. After that, at the new location, they also need to install a coming-soon business sign there too to create some awareness.
Install temporary signs in the old locations
The company has to install business signs in their lobby, reception, entry doors and even around the building. The signs should be installed in places customers can see clearly. The date of relocation, the new address and even directions to the place should be included in all the signs.
Maximize brand presence
The earlier they begin to publicize their presence in their new location the better. The best method is to install different outdoor signs in strategic locations around the building. They have to install them in places where they will be conspicuous.
Hire a reputable Sign Company
This is not only because of the quality of the work, but also because every part of the process is time-bound. Customers would have been notified on the dates. Good sign companies are very strict with timelines. Despite that someone in the company should be delegated with the responsibility of following things through with the sign company. He will be the one to monitor the activities of the sign company.
All forms of branding and fitting out should be concluded before employees move in
Adapting to change is not always easy. It will be a little difficult for employees of the company to adapt to their new location. Besides, the process of moving will disrupt their activities right from their old office. So, they will feel better if they don’t have to witness any activities in the new office. The company has to ensure that all the required brandings are completed and all necessary inspiring office signs are installed before employees move in. This helps them to adapt to the change more easily.
