The first thing that you must do in order to welcome shoppers or guests to your office, restaurant, hair salon or shop is to let them know where it is. Outdoor signs should be sized and situated for optimum visibility, and they must carry your branding. This allows anyone who passes by to know at a glance, your company’s identity, and the nature of your business. However, as necessary as digital, or monument signs are, or any other exterior sign is in letting people know how to get to your business, restaurant or site, they also represent just the tip of how custom signs can benefit your business.

Directional signs are any form of signs that give people directions. Whether it’s an arrow with a pictogram of a person running to indicate what direction the bathroom or written directions of where to find a specific product, directional signs create a positive customer experience.
The purpose of a directional sign is to help people find their way to their desired destination. Directional signs can also enhance a customer’s experience in your store because they will not get frustrated or have to ask for help. In other cases, they are necessary to direct people away from hazards or restricted areas.
Businesses most often use directional signage to guide their customers’ experiences within their office, building, or store. The best way of choosing where to use directional signage is to identify areas, resources, or products that are difficult to find or most important, and create a clear path of signage to find them.
Directional signs can be any color you want. You can include colors that coincide with your branding or interior design to improve your decor. We recommend keeping them simple and using a clear color contrast between the lettering or graphics and the sign’s background to enhance the visibility of your signage.
Directional arrows are signs that include an arrow that points people to where they should go. Sometimes, they also include words that tell onlookers where the arrow is pointing. These signs can be made from many different materials, installed almost anywhere, and customized to your preferences.
When people have no direction, a business can become a chaotic environment, especially if they are large and complex. People will need to ask where areas are, which reduces employee productivity, and in some cases, visitors can get hurt if they walk into the wrong room. Directional signage also helps to guide people to the exit in emergencies.
The overal cost depends on a variety of factors, such as size, material, customization, and installation requirements. Signage is often priced by square footage, but the design, fabrication, and installation processes will contribute towards the cost of directional signs.
