Are Custom Metal Signs Really Worth The Cost?

By Margaret Carter


Although digital advertising now rules the modern fast-paced, tech-centric world, outdoor signs are still important, especially for brick-and-mortar businesses. Research indicates that conventional signage still plays a huge role in grabbing the attention of potential customers. As such, custom metal signs are one of the most crucial marketing strategies for local businesses.

Because custom signs are easily recognizable and unique, they're highly suitable when it comes to striking a good first impression. Local residents could even start referring to the sign as a landmark. This usually results in a substantial increase in the number of customers patronizing the establishment.

For businesses that operate in highly competitive areas, unique signage is absolutely crucial. And when one takes into account the fact that local enterprises tend to be frequented by local residents, the importance of distinct signs is further highlighted. From the customers' perspective, the medium acts as a physical reminder of a particular brand.

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.

The most visible color combinations in outdoor signage include black on white, yellow on black, white on blue and black on yellow. Decide which of these high-contrast color combinations will match your brand and go well with your target audience. To further enhance the visibility of your sign, try to contrast the colors of your design with those found in the particular environment where your sign will be located.

A business sign is arguably the most critical aspect of your public appearance. When properly designed, a sign will work well in showcasing your brand quickly and cost-efficiently. The most crucial aspects to take into account when coming up with your sign include simplicity, contrast and uniqueness.
