Let’s start with an all important basic that pertains to all exterior monument signs: Know your city and county codes and any restrictions (size, height, etc.) for your particular monument placement. These constrictions may limit your choice of the many shapes, sizes and monument sign materials. Luckily there is a company with the experience to guide you through it, Premier Signs of Tampa.
Together, they can help you navigate through custom outdoor monument choices. Starting with main body options such as squares, rectangles, angled shapes and curves, along with the size of the body and then continuing to help you further customize it in many other ways. Color, finishes and text styles come in to play next, and depend heavily on material choice. You may also choose to have your text sandblasted or engraved.
Placement of your monument is also very important. If your property is set on a corner, that is usually a great monument placement to allow viewing from traffic in more than one direction, but if your property is large, you may consider placing it street side at the base of your entrance driveway. Another installation option is in front of your main building especially if your location is part of a larger industrial or office park.
From there you can decide if the base will be free standing, or placed between poles or stone columns, or made up of multiple materials and part of a multi tenant sign.
You might also consider adding address numbers, tag line, or a directional arrow to make your monument cross functional. Multiple tenant signs usually consist of one main monument where each tenant is listed on a similar plaque or cabinet sign within it. It is usually up to the landlord what options you may have for your part of the sign. Uniformity, is usually the main concern but others allow you freedom as long as it fits on the apportioned amount. here are some examples of each:
A very important option to consider is LED lighting. This gives your sign 24/7 visibility and marketing. It usually pays for itself in round the clock business location exposure. A quality LED monument sign identifies your company’s location, telling customers not only where you are, but that you intend to be in business here, for them, for years to come. Light up your investment and spread the word!
