If you have a physical location, you will need to identify your businesses exterior to draw in customers as well as your interior to build that brand awareness through reinforcement and repetition. It takes 5 to 7 impressions for the brain to remember a brand/logo. The exterior signage helps with passing traffic viewers as well as help guide your customers to your location. Building signs, monument signs, marquis signs and way finding signs are all great ways to post your logo.

In addition to your physical location, if you have company vehicles or fleet vehicles, branding those vehicles has proven to create a tremendous amount of brand recognition for any business. We have blogged quite a bit on the effectiveness of vehicle graphics and the effectiveness of that form of advertising.
Internal branding within your office or business space will also reinforce the exterior branding. Not only will your customers unconsciously develop a more ingrained image of your brand which aids in the retention and easy recall of your brand, it can help with employee’s sense of mission and pride. Interior signage can be presented with wall graphics, window graphics, dimensional signage and floor graphics.
