Investment Or Expense? Top-5 Projecting Sign Perks

Compared to some other types of signage, projecting signs can be relatively “big-ticket” purchases. That’s especially true for bespoke illuminated projecting signs that use modern graphics and materials. But rather than considering your projecting sign purchase purely as an expense, we like to think of it as more of an investment. Thanks to the following 5 perks, projecting signs generate more impressions, drive more sales, and build brand authority better than almost any other kind of storefront advertising. Projecting signs are easier to spot. One of the biggest advantages that projecting signs have over other storefront signage options is visibility.

Do I Need Dedicated Lighting for My Custom Signage?

Custom signage  is an excellent way to showcase your brand and draw more attention to your business. However, in order for your signage to have maximum impact, people should be able to see your sign whether it’s day or night. Dedicated lighting makes this possible. While you don’t technically need dedicated lighting for your custom signage, here’s why investing in the right lighting for your sign can make all the difference for your business! Signs With Lighting Ensure Visibility No Matter What Lighted signs  help your business stand out from the competition by ensuring your business name or logo is visible no matter what.
