What Signs Are Best For My Business? Consult With A Sign Company Near Me

Selecting the right sign for your business requires a lot of careful planning and consideration, factoring in your budget, location, brand personality, and more. It’s a big decision, one that can make-or-break your local brand reputation, but don’t worry—you don’t have to make it alone.

To help you choose wisely, today’s post shares 3 factors to consider when selecting your primary business signage. Read on to learn more, or call (661)-379-6545 to get free product and material recommendations from a sign company near you in Bakersfield, CA.

How To Choose The Best Signs For My Business: 3 Things To Consider

1.    Money Matters—Find Signs That Fit Your Budget

Signage is already one of the most cost-effective marketing tools available, outperforming all other advertising mediums in a Media Asset-Value Comparison by 3M:

Outdoor signs are more than twice as cost-effective as radio ads, more than five times as effective as prime-time TV commercials and newspaper ads, and six times more effective than magazine ads!

But if you’re starting with a limited budget, some signs will be more suitable than others. Typically, small businesses, entrepreneurs, and self-starters opt for:

Each of these signs has a low purchase price, no additional operating costs, and DIY-friendly installation, so you save at check out, on installation, and over the long term.

Some of these signs, like banners, are reusable in many different ways, while others, like certain sidewalk sign styles, are completely rewritable/changeable, so you can create new sign messages on-demand and save money on future sign production.

2.    Location, Location, Location—Find Signs Suited To Your Display Area

Not all signs work well in all locations.

For example, ground-level signage, like monument signs and sandwich boards, may underperform when displayed in areas packed with pedestrians, as walls of people block lines of sight, allowing only those right near your sign to see it.

Likewise, not all signs are built to hold up to Bakersfield’s hot, arid climate, as extreme heat and prolonged sun exposure can cause adhesion issues, fading, and glare that makes your message tough to read.

For help assessing the conditions of your installation site and finding signs that suit them, get in touch with our sign company.

3.    Brand Character—Find Signs That Convey Your Values And Personality

According to the American Shopper Study, more than 85% of consumers feel signage conveys the personality or character of the advertiser. Knowing your audience will be looking at your signs to infer things about your business, it’s important that you choose a style that represents your values.

For example, digital signs are a natural fit for techy businesses, communicating to your customers that you are relevant, tech-savvy, and right on the cutting edge. But these same sophisticated signs may look out of place advertising traditional or artisanal shops specializing in hand-crafted products with old world appeal.

I had a great experience with the service I received from Michael, Trinh and TM signs and graphics. Their service was fast, high quality, and the price was affordable. I had informed TM signs and graphics that I needed the project done within a few days, so I was very impressed when it took them less than a weekend to get it done, and I was even more impressed when we spoke about the cost of the project (hint. hint. It was less than other quotes). I 100% recommend giving TM signs a try. I'm very pleased with the services they offer, and I will continue to use them in the future.

Hats off to Trinh and her team. We needed new signage on quite a few of our office doors. Other companies we checked in with were not able to come out until the following week of our request, Trinh showed up within an hour to measure for what we needed. The work was performed within a few days perfectly! We would highly recommend giving this company an opportunity to earn your business. They did ours this time and future times to come.

When the best man at my wedding was unable to make it last minute, Bakersfield Signs and Graphics came to the rescue. They custom made a cardboard cutout of the best man. It was a huge hit at my wedding and everyone loved it! They made it so fast and it looked exactly like the other groomsmen. I couldn't believe how well it turned out. Thank you so much for bringing some much needed laughs and fun during times like these.

BSG did a fantastic job re-designing the Yard Sign logo for ICO Gardening. The original picture was old and couldn't be used due to low resolution. They had to create a new one to the exact picture. They were quick and efficient in competing my order.
