Sidewalk Signs Increase Walk-in Sales

Sidewalk signs are called many things – sandwich boards, A-frame signs, marker boards, letter boards… Whatever you call them, they are one of the most effective retail signs you can use if you are a business with a storefront location where people are passing by. They are versatile and last for years. Frames can be made of metal, aluminum, or plastic.

Sidewalk signs advertising a product or special grab attention right at your doorway. A compelling message will draw people into your store right then and there. Eye-catching graphics or an artful rendition of today’s specials on a marker board is the best way to let potential customers know what’s available at the moment.

Sidewalk sign styles

Letterboards have rails to insert individual letters in. While not very attractive, they do get your message out there. You buy a set of letters with multiples of each letter and / or number. Changing the message is easy enough though it takes time to remove the letters of the old message and insert the letters for the new message.

Marker boards have a dry-erase or wet-erase board. It’s best to make sure your marker board has a lens cover to protect your message from passersby and weather. It’s a cinch to change your message on a marker board – just wipe & write! You can get black marker boards and use flourescent markers for a very colorful display. Better yet, you can get backlit boards with LED lights that flash or change colors!

There are a number of a-frame signs that you can insert or attach a poster or signface to. The most popular are plastic frames that you can fill the base with water or sand to make them stable. Another style has a base that rocks so it withstands heavy winds. Others are metal or aluminum frames with slide-in or snap-in features for the signface.
