Temporary Signs – What are they used for? Temporary signs are everywhere, and they are used for many things from promoting sales events to advertising a real estate agent’s open house and bringing attention to a new product at a fast food restaurant. Whatever your business, whether a boutique clothing store, a coding school, grocery store or home furnishing store, there is a temporary sign that will benefit you! In this blog we will discuss some of the most used temporary signs and their benefits. Floor Decals A Floor Decal, also known as a Floor Graphic, is a temporary sign that can be installed on the floor.  Floor Decals are commonly used for directional signage but can also be used to advertise events.  They attract attention as people walk in the area and are great for indoor use.  A good quality Floor Decal can last well over a year and depending on the foot traffic can last even longer.  As with any other sign, you should replace your Floor Decal when you start seeing wear and tear, so you can have a well-maintained look for your business. Floor Decals can be installed indoors on any smooth floor surface although it is not recommended for wood floors. There are also specialty materials that can be used for outdoor Floor Graphics on concrete, although these are used for a limited time and need to be replaced each season. Posters Posters are a cost effective and very attractive temporary sign that can be installed with ease.  Posters are typically used for indoor advertising as they are not waterproof and will not withstand to bad weather conditions and therefore are not suitable for outdoors. Posters can be used for advertising events, sales and other temporary notifications.  Posters are lightweight and can be easily taped to walls or doors. Clear Static Cling Static Cling has no adhesive and uses the static to stick to the surface. Custom colour printed Static Clings are great for advertising temporary sales and events on windows.  Any temporary message can be printed on a Static Cling. They can be repositioned and are a durable temporary sign and are reusable. Static Clings can be used on smooth surfaces like windows. Flag Banners Flag banners come in many shapes and sizes and can be used both indoors and outdoors making them a perfect solution for attracting customers to your business, advertising products, or promotions. These flags are made of extremely durable polyester material that is great for outdoors as well.  The flag is mounted on a lightweight aluminum pole.  The stake allows you to easily stick it in the grass or soil outdoors.  For indoor use there are other bases that can be used to display on hard floor surfaces.
