So, why have a sign??? I am finding that not only do I have to educate people on why they should get a sign from me, I have to educate them on why they need a sign at all. The biggest assumption I find is that signage is for identification and wayfinding. As soon as you say marketing, business owners think radio, web, tv, banners, mail-outs, promotional items, van graphics, even hiring sign-holders on the corner.
However, the #1 most effective advertising and marketing tool -according to the Small Business administration - is your exterior sign. So, all the travelers at 4am on Black Friday will be driving along, and where will they go? Over 25% of them - according to a study by San Diego State University - will impulsively stop somewhere based on the sign. And if it is illuminated that percentage jumps up 10%. Where else can you get quality local advertising with those kind of results???
