All four are good points, especially the last one in this article. Re-evaluating your business signage as your company evolves is important to ensure it best represents what you offer and properly communicates your brand. We’ve been busy with rebranding projects in the past few months. Take a look at some of our recent installs, and stay tuned – more are coming!

‘Real world’ is a phrase that’s popping up with increasing frequency related to advertising. In this case, the author says “offline marketing … is a good way to increase your brand’s awareness, and it brings your brand into the real world.” Your business signage is about as real as it gets. We agree, of course. Get your business noticed in the real world by making the most of your interior and exterior signage.

We like the sound of a “creative reinvention” of traditional retail, and in fact, that’s what we’ve seen here in Boston. To take it a step further, we’re seeing a great burst of creative signage not just in retail and hospitality, but in every industry vertical. If you’re looking to get the signage your business NEEDS and not just the signage everyone expects, partner with Metro Sign & Awning. Taking creative visions and turning the into reality is what we love to do!

December always brings speculation & worry about the retail shopping season. Our advice is simple: attract shoppers to your business with inviting signs, make sure your staff is ready to help them when they walk in and that interior signage makes it easy to find what they want (especially when your employees are busy helping other customers). Need new bulbs or other basic signage maintenance? Contact us!

There are four types of holiday shoppers – and each one can be swayed by attractive signage. It’s too late to get a new sign before Black Friday, but you can replace worn parts and bulbs and make sure your signs are working optimally to attract all types of shoppers – the steady shoppers, the early birds, the Black Friday fans, and last-minute shoppers. Retail experts say the holiday spend has “flattened out.” Contact us now about maintenance and repair to make sure your signage shines brightly throughout the whole season.

When stores compete with online retailers, both interior and exterior signage can increase sales per customer/transaction. As Deloitte points out, millennials shop for experiences more than things – that means restaurants, theaters, and other destinations need to make sure their signs are in great condition going into the holiday season. Metro Sign & Awning does repairs, too – call us to handle any maintenance issues now so your signs attract the most shoppers this season.

The definition of opportunity lost: your restaurant caters or rents party space, but your sign doesn’t make that clear. New signage may sound expensive until you consider lost revenue. If you’re ready to invest in a more profitable 2018, get in touch with a Metro representative.
