Why Businesses Still Need Custom Metal Signs In The Digital Era

By Margaret Carter


Thanks to the advent of digital marketing, businesses are now able to advertise online quite easily and cheaply. This has however made it easy to forget (or ignore) the tried and tested advertising channels of old. If you run a brick-and-mortar establishment, outdoor signage should always be included in your promotional strategy. Almost nothing else could substitute custom metal signs in attracting the attention of potential customers.

Nothing beats a well-designed business sign in forming a good first impression. This is especially true if one properly incorporates their brand's themes into the signage. Because viewers will associate the sign with your business, you'll benefit from a personalized exposure to the world. A memorable piece of signage also has the potential to develop into a local landmark. When you achieve such a status with your signage, you're virtually guaranteed of increased customer traffic flow.

According to experts, close to 90% of a business's clientele usually live or work within a 5-mile radius of the premises. Having a monumental sign will not only make your business easy to locate, but it also ensures your brand remains engraved in the viewer's mind. This increases the likelihood that the person will think of your business the next time they need the kind of commodities you offer.

Compared to other advertising methods, outdoor signage is a great, cost effective visual marketing medium. A substantially larger number of people are likely to see your sign than can hear your ad or see it in print. Besides, you also have a larger degree of flexibility in tailoring the signs according to your needs.

In order to deliver your message effectively at a glance, you need to use an elegant design. Keep in mind that most viewers will only be exposed to the sign for a very brief moment. A good rule of thumb here is to highlight the brand name and contact details, while leaving clear spaces around the outline.

For your sign's lettering, you need to use easily-readable fonts, especially if you'll place it in a busy location. Bold lettering tends to yield a bigger impact. As such, you may want to bold your brand name, contact information and call-to-action to enhance readability. If you'll be using a combination of fonts, just make sure that letters are properly shaped so that there's no confusion.

A sign's visibility will largely depend on contrast, something that's created using color combinations. You first have to decide the colors you'll be using. Some contrasting color pairs include white on black, blue on white and yellow on black. Your choice of combination needs to match the colors used on your logo. Furthermore, you need to consider the larger environment within which the sign will be located. Consider all these elements carefully before picking the pair of contrasting colors.

Custom outdoor signage is arguably the best the best way to get your message across to potential clients. Still, the medium needs to be properly thought out if it's to strike a great first impression. To start reaping the benefits, you should design your custom signs to reflect your business accurately.
