How important are outdoor directional signs? Try to navigate a new location that hasn’t had their exterior signage installed yet, and that will be answered for you. 
There’s nothing more valuable, other than your business logo sign. Even that, however can’t get your clients parked in the proper garage or get them back to their car once they go to leave. That’s not even mentioning that without proper outdoor signs, they might not have actually made it to the right lobby door to conduct business with you before they decide to get back in their car to leave.
Ready to hear what outdoor signs really do?
First, there are property signs that are designed for informational purposes, including everything from directional arrows to parking garage signs and floor directories.
Other signs in the parking area are intended to do more than get customer’s to your door. They can do things like, keep your clients safe, your deliveries going in the right direction, and keep your property clean and protected.
These are examples of small metal signs with a vinyl overlay, mounted on a pole. Lasting 5-7 years this application is perfect for outdoor installation. They are also economical, which is especially important when considering multiple signs for a location. Be sure to use the right combination of high contrasting vinyl colors to make it easy to read from a car or sidewalk. Signs can only be effective if legible.
Looking for an upgraded outdoor sign for your property? Consider using signs made from sandblasting and routing foamcore or colorcore. Their outdoor life expectancy is even longer, with colorcore the longest. The look of these signs elevates a property sign and adds to the beauty of the location. Now all of your property signs can match. Even directional and warning signs can be good-looking and durable. Matching existing entrance monuments and outdoor building signs makes the look of the entire property professional and cohesive.
Having signs be multipurpose can be good economics. When possible, combine messages or graphics. This example incorporates an entrance arrow and a directory.
To increase effectiveness, add a second sign on the backside and now the two tenants can be seen from either direction and the sign’s shape, the arrow, emphasizes the correct direction to enter.
Informational signs installation placement is usually driven by the message on the sign, like these examples:
But sometimes the message is more about using levity to get a point across. (This is truly a whole other aspect to a “mutipupose” sign!) like with these outdoor signs:
