5 Things To Consider Before Ordering Your Next Sign
Preplanning is key to getting the right sign.
In any sign design and production project, the preplanning you do (or lack of it) contributes to your success. Having a checklist of sorts will help you order and receive the type of signage that meets your needs.
Consider these five essential questions:
1. What is the sign’s purpose? Do you want to advertise your business? Are you providing wayfinding assistance or trying to communicate important instructions? Understand the purpose of your sign first.
2. Who is the target audience? Who are you trying to reach with your sign? Is your target audience expecting formal signs, fun signs, or colorful signs? Knowing these particulars will allow us to offer more specific advice about signage solutions.
3. What will the sign be used for? Where will the sign hang? How long does it need to last? Usage-related questions help determine important details—for instance, outdoor signs need to be made of thicker, more durable materials than exclusively indoor signs.
4. How soon do you need it? Keep in mind that some signs simply take longer to design and produce. While some can be completed quickly, more complex signs will inevitably take longer. Don’t wait until you’re in a crunch situation to order signage.
5. What is your budget? Your budget will affect everything else—for instance, a rush fee for a faster turnaround could exceed your budget. Also, price increases may affect some raw materials more than others.
The more thought you can give to your sign needs, the better we can work with you to offer a signage solution that aligns with your purpose, budget, and timeframe.
