The New Year is here – time to start on those resolutions! While your friends may be making the usual promise to exercise more and eat better, instead, what you should be doing is focusing on making your business even healthier through improved marketing. Consider making resolutions around increasing sales or foot traffic. How can you meet those goals? By having impactful signs around your office or storefront!
Consider the following resolutions to help you create long-term, sustainable design habits throughout the year:
- Plan ahead for your specific situation: Since signs are designed to last for a long time, you shouldn’t be haphazardly pulling your design and messaging together. Instead, do some market research, look for inspiration for the best type of sign that may work for your requirements and determine where the best place is for it to be installed. Also, consider your design. What resonates most with your potential customers? Then, you can pull together colors and materials you’d like to incorporate.
- Anticipate deadlines - for you and your production team: Sign companies have turnaround times. So, you should never wait until right before your deadline to have your sign produced and installed. Instead, work with your custom signage partner to determine approximately how long it will take them to finish the job and cross-reference that with your own timeline as to when you need it by. Getting your sign finished a couple of weeks ahead of your own deadline will give you time to review the placement of your sign and determine if any tweaks are needed.
- Always get a quote: While you may think you know what something may cost, it’s still a good idea to get a quote, even if you’ve used the same partner for all your signage projects. This way, you can be sure the costs fit your budget, and you’re not spending too much or hit with unexpected price increases. Do research and find the best price for the work, but don’t sacrifice quality to save funds. It’s best to go with a trusted sign company who is still affordable.
- Don’t attempt installation by yourself: Imagine that you’ve just invested in an eye-catching sign. You decide that you’re going to install it yourself. Then, you drop it and damage it because it was too heavy. Or after you install it, it falls because it’s not secured properly. Don’t take a chance on any of these scenarios - get help from professionals to do the installation.
