Businesses grow and change for many reasons – expansions, new locations, temporary events, and remodels, just to name a few. During these periods, the right signage can maintain and even elevate customer perceptions of your business, which makes for a very smart investment in appearance. Even if you don’t think that you need signs during your period of transition or event, consider what a few well-made temporary signs can do for you:
Improve Traffic Flow
For every event attendee that needs to ask one of your team members a question, that translates to less time your staff has to do the things that really matter. While they’re clarifying where the bathrooms are, when a room or area opens, or even where the main event is, lines are backing up and things aren’t running smoothly overall. The same principle applies to store relocations or remodels: every moment a customer can’t find what they’re looking for, you risk losing the sale. Wayfinding signage can also be temporary; they help with guidance and traffic management when your staff can’t be everywhere at once.
Create Privacy
The “big reveal” of a special sale or event won’t make a big impact if everyone knows about it already. What’s worse, a peek into your new location setup could potentially give your competitors an edge on proprietary information. Temporary windscreens and banners help block public view through windows, and can be paired with fencing to “wall off” a worksite when needed. These sign solutions not only deliver information like opening dates, they help cement visibility and create interest ahead of your opening day.
Provide Transformation
If you have a temporary or seasonal location, you want to brand it as much as possible. Unfortunately, many temporary lease agreements tie your hands when it comes to sign installations, leaving you with options that don’t look professional. Vinyl wall decals, however, can be quickly and easily attached to rigid substrate, peeling off and away when the time comes to move out. That means life-size images, crisp lettering and logos, and colorful decor that won’t impact your security deposit or lease agreements. Additionally, because these decals are very quickly applied, you won’t have to delay opening or work in substantial lead time to get your location ready for business.
Fulfill Sponsor Agreements
Temporary signage can help bridge the gap between a venue’s sponsored, installed signage and an event sponsored by a rival. Coverups are neatly and quickly applied to existing signage to rebrand the venue’s visuals for an event. They can also be used block out incompatible sponsors – alcohol or tobacco, for example – that could impact the core values of a family-friendly or all-ages event. Easy to remove without damaging the existing signage, this option prevents disputes and keeps the advertising at a venue flexible for worry-free booking.
Temporary signs can be made of a variety of materials to stand up to wind, weather, and sun, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
