Small Business Center > Sales and Marketing Toolkit > Signage: Your Voice on the Street

The Right Sign for Your Business

 
Successful signage involves more than creating an attractive arrangement of logos and slogans.  It is also a blending of complex elements such as marketing, demographics, an understanding of visual acuity, conspicuity, and obliquity.  Complicating the task is the fact that the reader is usually moving, and the sign must be seen, read and understood in an instant. 
 
No matter how good your product or service is, if your sign does not make people stop and shop, you will not be able to compete.  In our highly competitive and media-rich world, an investment in professional sign design is worthwhile.  Trained designers understand how to get the consumer’s attention.  Most importantly, they know how to get the consumer to respond. 
 
Remember, every major chain that exists today started out as a small business. Your long-term success can be shaped by the effectiveness of your street presence if it is professionally designed from the very beginning.
 
The right sign for your business must send the right message to your potential customers.
