Design Tips for Temporary Signs

temporary signs

Just because it’s temporary, doesn't mean it’s low-quality. Whether you are offering a seasonal product, a museum exhibit display, or need visuals for a trade show, temporary signage can make it happen. It's a great way to introduce a timely statement about new services without re-vamping your entire marketing strategy. 

So how do you create a sign that doesn't look disposable?  
 
Consider the size of your signage: Restaurants need small, table-fitting menus, while car dealerships require large-scale banners to catch the eye of their clientele. Make sure your sign is sized appropriately for the message and the way in which potential customers will view it. 
 
Who will be looking at it? At a restaurant, patrons will be eyeing tabletop displays closely for specials or new desert offerings. Alternatively, car dealerships target an audience of drivers who may not notice their visual without a properly sized installation. For larger projects, consider a weather-treated banner that can hang directly on your location or be suspended on poles for a far-reaching visual that makes its mark.
 
Images: Depending on the size of your sign, you may be able to fit more than just your logo and targeted information. Visually-striking images are a key consideration when marketing your business to a wide-variety of clients. What images best represent your business? A tree care service would benefit from a natural graphic or photo, while an electric company may rely on more metaphoric images, such as a light bulb or bolt of lightning. Use your creativity and come up with an image that reflects your unique product.

Wall murals play a huge role in the image portrayal of many companies today. A vast majority of them are in the lobbies or other trafficked areas of a business. Whether in the showroom of a car dealership or the workout areas of the fitness center wall murals have the ability to raise the image of the business's brand while enhancing the environment with a one of a kind custom look. It can be as small as the wall behind the reception desk or the side of the building. Here are a few options that we can provide for our clients:

PhotoTex

PhotoTex is a fabric with a removable adhesive. Businesses or individuals who want to make a bold statement inside or out, have a cost-effective and versatile option in PhotoTex. That's because PhotoTex wall murals are removable and can be repositioned if a client feels the need. They can be placed on any flat surface, including glass, wood, plastic, or painted walls. The process is also quick, so you will see results in no time. PhotoTex is best where people aren't going to be placing their hands on it on a regular basis.

Commercial Grade Vinyl

If you want a wall mural in an area that is highly trafficked, such as an office or school hallway, you’re probably better off going with professionally-installed commercial grade vinyl. While this method does require an adhesive (unlike the self-adhesive PhotoTex), commercial-grade vinyl manufacturers provide numerous textures to choose from to fit the exact specifications you have in mind. Plus you don’t have to be concerned about its durability when people are putting their hands on it.

Rough and Textured Material

This unique material is designed to be installed over concrete, cinder block or even brick. It can used for several years but is recommended for shorter term use such as celebratory events.

 

Advertise While Saving Money

With gas prices skyrocketing, businesses are finding ways to save money. One way to save money is to extend the life of the vehicles used for the business by covering up old letters and chipped paint with a vehicle wrap. This method can save you the cost of buying new vehicles to keep up a well-maintained look.If your fleet of vehicles needs to be branded or spruced up, consider getting vehicle graphics to advertise your business while satisfying any requirements by the DOT.

Pros of using vehicle wraps:
