Reflective Metal Signs Let Your small business Light Up The Night

Reflective Metal Signs Are the Secret Weapon to Getting Noticed Night or Day

It’s happened to most of us at least once – you are driving along a dark windy road, GPS is on the fritz, your map offers no help and you’ve got no clue where the exit is! Creeping along at well under the speed limit, you start to panic when finally, up ahead, the road sign appears brightly illuminated in your high beams. You sigh a breath of relief and arrive safely at your destination.

If it hadn’t been for those reflective metal signs, you could have easily driven miles past your exit without realizing, only to have to turn back around and try to find it again. What a big pain in the neck that would have been!

Much like highway signs help you reach your destination, your business sign helps customers find the products they are trying to find.

Imagine that there’s a customer driving around searching for your store or office in the middle of wintertime when it gets dark so early — or perhaps early morning when dawn has yet to fully approach the horizon. Using a reflective metal sign is certain to not only alert them of your location, but draw the eye of other clients also! Why limit your potential customer base by only being visible during daylight hours? People all around you have completely different daily schedules – which means you never know what early bird or night owl might be searching for a small business just like yours.

How to use reflective metal signs to not merely stand out, but create interest!

Allowing your company to stand apart from the rest, adding a reflective metal sign into your existing signage is a sound investment – especially for businesses found on heavily traveled traffic routes like highways and byways, main streets and industrial areas. There will always be a steady stream of traffic at any hour of the day. Using reflective signs will automatically improve your possibility of getting seen and noticed round the clock. Current and future customers will instantly have their attention captured when your message is reflected back at them.

So just what would YOUR reflective metal sign look like?

Practically any image you can imagine can be transformed into a custom metal sign! From a custom shape to full-color photos, any design can be digitally printed right onto the bright, reflective surface on the metal sign panel. So even if your company closes before dark, your new sign will carry on with working tirelessly through the entire night to strengthen your presence in the community.

DOUBLE-DUTY reflective signs add another unexpected value to businesses

With both night and day visibility, your sign will give you DOUBLE the advertising worth of a non-reflective sign. What might not be as obvious though is that the LIFESPAN of reflective metal signs is more than DOUBLE that of standard metal signs! And get this – the reflective surface measures 30% brighter without using any electricity providing additional ongoing savings.

Double the value for only 33% more?

With a price difference of only 33%, reflective metal signs give a meaningful value over standard, economy grade signs.

Getting The Help That You Need With Designing Your Custom Business Sign

It is very important for anyone attempting to create something from scratch to gather as much information as possible.  Methods, tools, and terms are researched before being chosen.  Details on materials are required to deduce what is best for the project at hand.

Creating a Custom Business Sign is no different.  Information gleaned regarding a variety of factors will greatly impact the design of the sign.  It is important to learn about the materials available to you before  selecting the basis of the Custom Sign.

A great resource for the details on the wide array of materials available in the construction of a Custom Business Sign is accessible through our website.  SignsUS.com has a smorgasbord of information on the variety of materials and some great suggestions as to where to use them.

Some materials are better in some situations than others.  Many materials are rated for both indoor and outdoor use but their life expectancy ranges.  The information on the product pages address the construction of the various materials so that a sound decision can be made.

This is just one of the many areas that SignsUS.com can help you in the designing of your Custom Business Sign.  Research can begin and end there with follow through to completion.

Custom Business Signs Are An Extension Of Your Business

We can all act like we don’t make snap judgments based on initial appearances, but who among us doesn’t feel a little wary upon entering a building that looks like people have never seen the inside? Not that your business is spooky looking, but it may also just look unprofessional or even a tad dingy on the outside. Even if your business is in an industrial area with a bland, metal building, a custom business sign can give your business a makeover that takes your entrance from overlooked to noticeable. And if people have an initial positive feeling about your business based on your custom business sign, then those positive feelings will generally continue throughout their business dealings with you.

Color does wonders for the human eye – not only are we drawn to it, we tend to associate things with it, making color a memory trigger. Consider bold, contrasting colors for your custom business sign. Your custom business sign could use at least two colors, as market research has indicated that people remember custom business signs that use two colors better than those that use just one. Also, I mentioned contrast, this is extremely important in ensuring that your custom business sign doesn’t fade into the background. Contrast, or using dark graphics on a light background or vice versa, allows your graphics to stand out and be read and remembered by passing motorists and future customers. Bold, vivid colors in your custom business sign also give your building a fresh, inviting look, as though something new and exciting is going on behind your doors. So think about what colors best represent your type of business and choose at least a couple for your custom business sign.

Don’t frighten away future clients or customers by having and old, outdated business sign, or worse, no sign at all. Let people know who you are, what you do, and add a little of your personality in your custom business sign. Remember that bright, bold, contrasting colors on your custom business sign are essential in maintaining a current appearance for your business, and the size of your sign isn’t as important as the quality of it. If your business needs an exterior makeover, a custom business sign is the best place to start.

We are moving up the ranks

One of my functions at SignsUS is to do Search Engine Optimization (SEO) it is a time consuming task and there is some stiff competition.

If you don’t know the facts…..

I was looking at an article just a minute ago, and it has me annoyed. It was about custom signs. The person writing the article said that custom signs can make a big impression. Yes, I totally agree, it is a fact.

HOWEVER, the writer went on to say that it takes a long production time, and the cost is so high that it should be used only for big-budget advertising!!!!! I don’t know where she got her facts, but – at least in our case – our average turn around is 24 – 48 hours!

And big budgets? While it is less expensive to get pre-printed stock signs, how does that make YOUR company stand out. the cost of most custom signs are very reasonable.

I worry that because of that particular article some businesses may have made some decisions that will ultimately hurt their business. With the economy the way it is every business needs an edge, not to mix in with the crowd.

We have a lot to teach about signs and marketing

That’s why we write so many articles!  There is a lot that people really don’t “get” about signage and how it plays a role in a business’ marketing.  Signs have many more uses then just marking your brick and morter store, or throwing your name out there.

What?  It’s not about getting your name out there?

Yes, it is, but it is so much more than that.  It is about branding…it is about setting the right tone for your business and projecting an image that helps potential customers get a feel for your business before they even walk in the door!

Now you know why we have so many articles we post about custom business signs.  You an always visit us if you have any questions.
