Implementing eye-catching signage remains one of the most impactful moves a Greenwood Village business can make. Along with amplifying visibility, effective signs reinforce branding, smooth operations, and indicate local economic investments. Yet despite the benefits, many owners still have unanswered questions on key considerations like materials, permits, maintenance and more.
As specialists serving Greenwood Village’s vibrant business community, Legacy Custom Signs and Graphics explains sign installation and ownership. Check out some of our most frequently asked questions below:
What sign material makes the most visual impact?
Premium materials like acrylic, aluminum composite, PVC foam boards, and steel enhance sign longevity while enabling stunning designs. Modern printing technology allows us to embed crisp, vibrant graphics and logos directly into materials rather than relying on surface vinyl applications prone to rapid fading. We also coat finished signs with protective film guards to further shield against Colorado’s intense sun exposure and winter storms.
What options exist for illuminated signage?
Lighting can amplify sign visibility and accentuate designs. Backlit signs incorporate inner lighting to make the entire sign appear illuminated. Popular for retail stores and restaurants, these signs grab attention while conveying an inviting ambience. For more focused and energy efficient illumination, we also install external spotlights. Careful angling spotlights onto signs creates dramatic visual impact when paired with reflective coatings.
Where should we position signs for optimal visibility?
Placement plays a pivotal role in maximizing impressions and directing traffic flow. Factors like a property’s shape, existing infrastructure, foliage, and orientation to roads guides exact positioning. We also remain cognizant of avoiding obstructed sight lines. For example, installing a monument sign allows visibility from a distance over landscaping while preventing blocked views from parked vehicles. We customize placement strategies to make the most of your unique environment.
How do we obtain permits and confirm regulatory compliance?
Navigating local permitting processes remains one of the most commonly cited challenges. After designing stunning and strategic signage aligned with your brand and objectives, our team handles submitting required documents to officials on your behalf. We communicate with key decision makers to expedite review and approval. Our familiarity with area codes also guarantees finished signs exceed safety and appearance regulations.
What type of regular sign maintenance is required?
Like any valuable business asset, signs require periodic maintenance to sustain maximum performance. We recommend visually inspecting signage every 2-3 months to check for any damage, debris buildup, or lighting issues. Some additional best practices include:
- Gently cleaning sign surfaces with microfiber cloths and mild, pH-balanced cleaners every 6 months. Harsh chemicals can degrade protective films and coatings.
- Confirming all lighting and electrical components related to illuminated signage function properly. Replace any burnt out bulbs.
- Checking for loose components like fasteners that secure signs and tightening them as necessary after high wind events.
What recent innovations improve sign functionality?
Emerging technologies now allow signs to provide interactive and data-driven consumer experiences. For example, integrating Bluetooth proximity sensors enables signs to detect nearby smartphones. Businesses can then deliver targeted mobile alerts and offers to opt-in users when they are most receptive. These innovations transform traditional static signs into dynamic gateways fostering deeper customer connections.
How can we determine the ROI of investing in new signage?
The tangible benefits effective signage delivers makes determining return on investment straightforward through metrics like:
- Increased foot traffic and sales data after sign installation
- Lower marketing expenses needed to raise awareness
- Extended sign lifespan compared to costs of replacements
- Improved customer sentiment and reviews related to branding
Specifying desired outcomes in advance allows us to tailor sign designs toward achieving and measuring them. We partner with clients long term to ensure signage solutions continue fueling measurable growth for years to come.
