There are many things you need to consider and one key aspect is your signage. Once you have found the right retail space that meet the requirements for a Cannabis store, you need to engage your community and in addition to creating your online presence, the appearance of your store is critical to your business. We have the knowledge and experience helping Cannabis businesses set up their retail space and we are here to support you. The look and feel of your cannabis store can is very important so your customers feel welcomed.  Great signage from a storefront sign to window graphics all help with bringing attention to your retail store. Once you obtain your retail space, engage your local sign maker early. You don't want to wait until you are ready to open before you contact a sign maker. When we are engaged for a retail Cannabis store signage project, we start with a visit to do a site survey. Understanding your space and your needs is important. We can help you plan out your signage for both interior and exterior signage. One of the first things you will want to do is put up a "coming soon" banner or window graphic. This will help generate interest in the community. If you already have your branding, make sure the coming soon graphic reflects your brand. It is a great way to start to establish your brand. The next sign you want to consider is your storefront sign. There are lots of options to consider like channel letters, dimensional letters or light-boxes, and remember that you also need a permit for your storefront sign. This is another reason why you want to engage your sign maker early, because you want to ensure you have the sign permit before the sign is installed. Another great idea to attracting customers is window graphics which can showcase information about your business. You can also have perforated window graphics which serve a dual purpose. It can show images and information to passersby, and yet allow light in to the store, but prevent people from looking in, giving privacy inside the store. The storefront sign and window graphics attracts attention to your business, but what about when people walk in to the store? How do you continue to engage your customers inside the store. One key interior sign is a lobby sign. Attractive and professionally made lobby signs tell your customers that you are a reputable and reliable business. With the consistent branding of your storefront to your lobby sign, it reconfirms for your customer that they are in the right location. You can also add wall murals of Cannabis leaves, wall graphics of information on the products you offer and posters as well to enhance the interior of your store. In addition to these signs, another type of sign you want to consider adding to keep your customers safe are physical distancing floor graphics. These can be custom floor graphics in the colours of your brand, again reinforcing your branding. All these signs combined will ensure that your retail Cannabis store is ready for opening and provides a welcoming experience for your customers.
