As a full-service sign company, we’ve worked with retailers of all sizes to create custom signage packages that meet their unique needs. Based on years of experience, here are the top five signs every retailer should order to create a strong storefront presence and a better in-store experience.
1. Channel Letter Storefront Signs
Your exterior sign is often the first impression customers have of your business. Channel letter signs are bold, three-dimensional, and illuminated, making them visible day and night. These signs are customizable to your brand colors, fonts, and logo, ensuring your storefront looks professional and inviting.
Why they matter: Customers are more likely to enter a store with a clear, attractive sign. In fact, research shows that nearly 60% of consumers avoid businesses with no signage or poor signage. A strong storefront sign is an essential investment.
2. Window Graphics and Decals
Retail windows are prime real estate for advertising. Custom window graphics allow you to promote seasonal sales, highlight new arrivals, or share your store hours and contact information. They’re also easy to update, giving you flexibility throughout the year.
Why they matter: Window graphics capture attention from passersby and help convert foot traffic into paying customers. They also add privacy while enhancing the look of your storefront.
3. Point-of-Purchase (POP) Signs
Inside your store, POP signs are used to highlight promotions, guide shoppers to featured products, and encourage impulse buys. These signs can take various forms, including posters, shelf talkers, hanging signs, and digital displays.
Why they matter: POP signs influence buying decisions right at the moment customers are considering their options. Adequate in-store signage has been proven to boost sales of promoted products significantly.
4. Wayfinding and Informational Signs
Good customer experience isn’t just about products—it’s also about how easily customers can navigate your store. Wayfinding signs help shoppers find fitting rooms, restrooms, checkout counters, or specific departments. Informational signs can also highlight store policies, return procedures, or loyalty programs.
Why they matter: Clear navigation reduces customer frustration, encourages more extended visits, and increases the likelihood of repeat business. In addition, ADA-compliant signage ensures accessibility and compliance with federal regulations.
5. Banners and Promotional Displays
For grand openings, seasonal events, or big sales, banners and temporary displays are a must-have. Vinyl banners, hanging displays, or retractable stands provide high visibility at a low cost and can be reused when needed.
Why they matter: These signs generate excitement, build urgency, and highlight special promotions. They’re also portable and easy to install, making them a versatile choice for both indoor and outdoor use.
