Summer is the peak season for exterior remodels, facade repairs and roadwork. Construction companies take advantage of the warmer weather to get projects done, making visibility for your business more important than ever. This type of work can disrupt normal day-to-day operations for a business, and that is why temporary signage is crucial. No matter the type of construction, whether it is to your storefront or the roads outside your business, temporary construction signage keeps customers informed and the public safe.
Exterior Remodels Need Clear Communication
When a building is under construction, it is easy for customers to assume that the business is closed. Well-planned temporary signage helps you to communicate that your business is still open, even when you are covered in scaffolding. Some examples of temporary signage could include:
- Branded bright mesh banners announcing that you are open during construction
- Directional yard signs that guide customers to your temporary entrance
- Window wraps that promote your brand even if your exterior walls are covered
No matter what type of temporary signage you choose, the right sign can keep foot traffic coming while reinforcing that your business is open and ready to serve customers.
Construction Signage Requires Visibility and Compliance
Summer construction is unavoidable, so you need to have compliant, easy to read signs in place. Bartush Signs can provide your business with the right signage that is legible and compliant. Some legibility requirements include:
- High contrast color blocks
- Large arrows to direct traffic
- Reflective material for nighttime visibility
- Durable, weather resistant signage that holds up against heat or rain
Make sure to have these signs in the right places to be the most effective. Signs on sidewalks or banners on scaffolding makes signs easy to read even from a distance. Make sure to consider local permits needed to set up your temporary signage. Many cities have specific regulations regarding size, placement, and content. Working with a professional sign company means that you do not have to navigate these regulations alone. Getting your temporary signs right the first time helps you avoid delays and fines.
What The Right Signs Can Do for Your Business
A local cafe is tearing up its parking lot during the summer. They did not want to let their business slow down, so they reached out to Bartush Signs to design some temporary signage for their business. Bartush Signs was able to help them design a branded sandwich board to reroute cars to a different parking lot and created window graphics to promote online ordering to their customers. The cafe also wanted a “Grand Re-Opening” countdown banner to build anticipation for the completion of their parking lot. Bartush was able to set up the banner in the direction of oncoming traffic so that customers could see it clearly. The cafe was able to keep business steady all throughout their parking lot construction and went on to their grand re-opening without missing a beat.
