TN Investments is an established business client of Superior Signs and Graphics. A powerhouse when it comes to managing residential and commercial properties, the company succeeds in attracting qualified tenants. Part of this success is due to the effective signage that the firm commissions. Cases in point are the recent orders for graffiti-proof commercial property “For Lease” signs.
Shopping Center Space Catches Attention with Post and Panel Signs
We worked with the client to decide on the message. TN Investments wanted to clarify that the opening at the shopping center was a restaurant space. Our technicians focused the message on the availability of the space but also highlighted the type of venue that was for rent. The client chose a two-tone color presentation in red and white.
This combination catches the attention of passersby and creates an interesting visual contrast. Most importantly, it makes the elements of the message easy to read. Because the management company likes to protect its investments in the signage it uses, we treated the board with an anti-graffiti laminate. Now, motorists traveling along Garden Grove Boulevard have an easy time reading the information.
How Anti-Graffiti Laminates Work
Anti-graffiti laminate is an optional add-on to our signage. We recommend it to business clients who place the products in areas where there is no consistent supervision. If taggers decide to spray paint or use permanent markers to deface the signs, cleanup is a snap. Typically, lacquer remover is all you need to get rid of the scribbles.
Cleanup is possible right after the defacing happens or weeks down the road. You can return your sign to its pristine condition, which makes your property stand out when others advertise with tagged signs. Most importantly, you protect your investment in the signage, because you do not have to keep replacing, repairing, or repainting it.
Anti-graffiti laminates are ideally suited for cast as well as calendared vinyl. Our technicians can apply it to post and panel signs, building markers, and perforated window graphics.
Why a Simple Message Frequently Works Best in Busy Locations
If you are in the business of renting out properties, you want to highlight features and advantages. For management companies with apartment complexes, this might include amenities and floor plans. However, there is a downside to putting a lot of data on a sign: a reduction in font size.
The more you pack into the message, the smaller the font has to be. Local covenants and ordinances typically limit the sizing of your street-facing signage. Unfortunately, small fonts are difficult to read from the road. This is particularly true when motorists go by at 35 or 40 miles an hour. In this case, we recommend crystallizing your message.
Take a page from the playbook of TN Investments and only showcase the bare minimum. This approach ensures ease of readability. Most importantly, it allows the color contrast to make a significant impact on passersby.
