When relocating your business, there are many things to think about. Some business owners create a list to make sure they capture each detail during this busy time. One thing you’ll want to make sure to include on your list is city ordinances and how your signage will work with them. In this blog, read about the importance of checking in with your business’s new city to ensure your signage meets their guidelines.
You’re at a point where it’s time to relocate your business. Perhaps you’ve outgrown your existing space or you’re moving closer to your target market. Whatever the reason, you’re going to have to think about signage. Since each business may have different sign requirements, and every city has different guidelines in their city ordinances, careful planning and preparation should be done before you move forward with any sign plans.
Before you buy your channel lettering or signs for your new location, be sure to check the signage ordinances for the city you are moving to. Do this before you plan so your creative sign ideas don’t have to get thrown out the window if they don’t meet the city’s guidelines!
The best way to get information is to call the city you are moving your business to. This way you can ask them directly if your signage will fit within their guidelines, leaving no miscommunication over interpretation of guidelines. This is best if you have an idea of what your new sign will look like, or if you’re hoping to relocate an existing sign.
