Top Five Ways To Get Your Sign Noticed

  1. Refresh your curbside signs.  Do they need a bit of refurbishing? Often a fresh coat of paint or a good cleaning can make your signs clearer to passers-by.
  2. Create a focal point. According to Wikipedia In Fine art, a Focal Point focuses specifically on a point of interest which makes a canvas unique we believe the same to be true for your signs as well.
  3.  Renew your company’s image. This may mean updating your logo or finding eye-catching text to make traffic take note of your business.
  4.  Find out what your customers love about your company and incorporate that into your signs.  Not sure what your customers love most? Have them fill out a quick survey.

Importance Of A Good Business Sign Can Be Compared To The Importance Of A Good Cookie

C Is For Custom Creative Cookies

Here at The Sign Depot we talk quite a bit about standing out and being memorable.  Finding ways to be unique can be difficult sometimes, but it well worth the effort when it comes to signs for your business. 

 According to ChamberOfCommerce.com’s article The Importance of Advertising Signs for a Growing Business

 What you put in front of someone’s eyes is perhaps the most decisive factor in determining what they think of you and your business. In fact, consumers are more likely to purchase a product if they have seen the name before. Therefore advertising effectively, and making the product or sign memorable is crucial to the success and the growth of your business

 Advertising effectively is what PJ Lowe had in mind when she first created her promotional cookies.  Her story was about having memorable items to hand out at a public event.  She wanted something that would stand out from all the rest.  She created cookies with logos on them.  Really in our terms they were mini custom signs.  The cookies were so popular she started the company Nom Nom Treats.  Take a look at her photo gallery and see how many brands you recognize.

When the Cutegecko Design Agency approached us about creating a sign that looked like a cookie for Nom Nom Treats we new it would be a fun project.  Not only would we be making a custom sign, we would be making a custom cookie sign for a company that makes custom designed cookies.  Try saying that five times fast!

Dimension was key when it came to creating the cookie.  It was all about standing out from the rest!  The cookie was created in layers and then given a high gloss finish to replicate icing.  Working with logo designer we were able to duplicate the Nom Nom Treats logo and gave it an extra layer of dimension when it came to the text.   The end result was as 3 dimensional delicious looking as the actual Nom Nom Treats themselves.

Signs That The Olympics Are Near and What They Share With Artistic Signs

London 2012 Olympic Games

Friday July 27, 2012 is the official start to the London England Olympic Games.  In an earlier post it was mentioned that the London Olympic Games Design Font would be a trend for 2012.  Now that we have reached the beginning of this year’s games there are a few more items that should be noted when speaking about the upcoming Olympics.  Many of the ideas behind this year’s event are along the same lines as best practices for custom signs.

Design

The London Olympic build was custom designed with sustainability in mind.  Permanent venues were sites that were refurbished to accommodate the games.  Temporary venues were custom designed so that once removed there would be very little disruption to the area where they were constructed. Knowing what you want your design to accomplish is something the designers at The Sign Depot always have in mind

Be Memorable

Structure is one thing, but you need to be memorable as well. Art In The Park area near the Olympic Park will be noticeable to everyone attending the games.  This area will surely find it’s way into many pictures/tweets/status updates in what is deemed as the most “social” Olympics yet. Creating a buzz and being noticed will be things to watch for during the 2012 Olympic events.  Those will be the memories that will live on after the torch has been put out.

Make A Bold Statement

Being a Canadian company we definitely endorse this video! Finding ways to stand out from your competition is always the way to rise to the top.  Choosing unique and artistic ways to convey messages through signs is something we defintely have in common with the London 2012 Olympic Games.  Finding ways to be bold with sophisticated style is not and easy task but taking risks and stepping up to challenges are traits that we find commendable.

We even wonder if our post on Findabilty inspired the Canadian Olympic Team
