What feelings come to mind when you think of malls? Chaotic, overwhelming, and crowded often top the list for many consumers. Without clear visual communication, visitors struggle to navigate labyrinth-like corridors between hundreds of retailers. They become detoured, frustrated, and unable to locate desired stores easily.
Yet this doesn’t have to define mall experiences. As specialists serving Highlands Ranch’s vibrant retail sector, Legacy Custom Signs and Graphics understands how strategic signage placement revolutionizes shopping. Effective signs guide foot traffic, boost exposure for niche brands tucked away in corners, advertise timely sales, and strengthen branding. They transform malls from chaotic mazes into welcoming oases.
Keep reading to discover how our holistic approach to crafting signage helps mall owners reshape impressions and keep visitors flowing smoothly.
Customized Signs Harmonizing Form and Function
Rather than relying on generic signage unable to address specific needs, our custom signs incorporate both operational and aesthetic considerations unique to each mall. Designs align with overarching branding and motifs while using placement and visibility strategies reflecting internal layouts and traffic patterns. Premium materials like acrylic, aluminum composites, and steel integrate durability with style too.
Some of our most popular mall signage options include:
Illuminated Storefront Signs
Vibrant backlit storefront signs draw attention while conveying approachable warmth. Strategic lighting and color palettes aligned with interior aesthetics bridge physical and emotional spaces seamlessly. These customizable signs make strong first impressions.
Freestanding Directory Structures
Located near entrances, these illuminated monuments display dynamic mall maps/directories. They provide convenient wayfinding assistance right when visitors need it most to start trips smoothly. Many incorporate interactive functionality allowing searching for specific stores too.
Floor Decals and Murals
Creative custom floor graphics, decals, and murals enhance branding cohesion between spaces. Contemporary patterned walkways lead visitors deeper through properties. Sprawling mountain murals and timber accents continue Rocky Mountain lodge themes. These signs subtly influence movement while maintaining aesthetics.
Digital Signage
Versatile networked digital displays provide easily updatable information essential in dynamic retail environments. Sales, store openings/closings, and events can shine one day while new promotions take stage the next. Their positioning near high traffic zones also guarantees consistent impressions.
Stand Out Amongst the Competition
Along with smoothing navigation and complementing aesthetics, our signs strengthen mall branding. Consistent, sleek signage indicates consciously crafted experiences to visitors rather than haphazard developments. It boosts reputation while conveying pride and professionalism. Owners benefit from elevated perception as premier community staples while retailers thrive thanks to amplified exposure.
