Chester County, PA – Custom Restaurant Signs: Increase Business for Any Budget

Research has shown that restaurants are more successful when they effectively utilize signage. Before your potential customer is exposed to the smell and sight of the food, they’re exposed to your restaurant sign. Having the right sign in the right place is absolutely Paramount. Good signage brings customers to your door as well as assists with presenting your products, specials and safety guidance which is particularly important in today’s times. With the significant impact that COVID has presented to the restaurant industry, you have to come up with unique and creative ways to service your customer. An important component to that strategy is signage. From directing customers to curbside pickup and outdoor dining spaces to informing them about social distancing guidelines and delivery services, your signage will play an important part in efficiently serving your customers.

Why is signage an important part of your advertising budget?

According to the findings from the 2011 BrandSpark/Better Homes and Gardens study, a study looking at American shoppers, “there is evidence that signs draw traffic to businesses, (2) consumers infer quality from signage, (3) signage trumps radio, internet and newspapers as an informational source regarding new products, and (4) a significant portion of the U.S. population (about half) has driven by and failed to find a business due to signage communication failure.”

• 60% of Americans have mistakenly driven past a business they were trying to find because of inadequate signage
• 2% of consumers agree that one of the first things they notice about a new or unfamiliar business is the signage outside its building
• 41% of consumers have made quality assumptions about a business based on the quality of the signage.
• 7% of consumers agree that signs can “convey the personality or character of the business”
