TOP THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN SEARCHING FOR CUSTOM SIGNS IN ILLINOIS

8/13/2018

Comments

 
Picture
Every small or large business owner knows branding and reaching your target audience is what makes a business and brings in the money. There are, of course, many things you can do to market your business. One of those is having custom signs in Illinois outside of your business so everyone associates your sign with your brand and your brand alone. However, before you rush out to find the perfect custom signs, there are a few things you should consider first. Read on to find out what those things are.
Consider Your Budget
The first thing you need to do when searching for custom signs in Illinois is consider your budget. Sit down and decide what part of your business budget for the month you can afford to spend on the sign. If you know your budget already, you will have an easier time finding the perfect sign for your business. Remember to always go for the highest quality sign and the most affordable price. A cheaply made sign is not good for business or your bank account because it will have to be replaced sooner, costing you even more money.


Do Your Research

When it comes to getting a custom sign that will help you brand yourself and your business, you want something that is unique and when customers see it, they automatically think of your business, not the business down the street. That is why you should spend some time researching for your brand to get the best and perfect fit for you and your custom sign.

For more information on reputable custom signs in Illinois and other products and services, contact the professionals at Quantum Sign Corp for help.

​

​Thе study compared nоt оnlу thе font but thе style оf thе font.  Upper case wаѕ compared tо lower case аnd weight оf thе font fоr еасh type.  Aftеr lооking аt аll thе signs аmоng multiple participants, thе findings wеrе thаt Gill Sans Uppercase wаѕ thе mоѕt legible оf thе fonts аnd Mistral lowercase ranked thе lowest. 

Thе study wаѕ аblе tо recommend thаt thеrе ѕhоuld bе аt lеаѕt 1 inch оf letter height fоr еасh 5 ft. оf viewing distance.  It аlѕо confirmed thаt uppercase wаѕ аlwауѕ mоrе visible thаn lower case letters. 
​

Points to consider

Thе study did givе ѕоmе key results fоr еvеrуоnе tо соnѕidеr whеn designing signs аnd choosing fonts:

3 Design Principles for Creating Signs That Attract Customers

3 Design Principles for making signs that attract customers
​There are important design principles for creating sings that attract customers for your business.  Let Quantum Sign Corp guide you through this difficult process.

Most newcomers in the business world consider marketing and advertisement to be just online and mobile. But the truth of the matter is that sometimes a good attention grabbing sing can do wonders.  According to a survey carried out by the FedEx Office, businesses especially smaller ones find signage and graphics to be more effective in client acquisition. The study was carried out on 500 businesses in the US. It showed 64 % of businesses were millennial owned with a preference towards graphics and signage. On the other hand, baby boomers preferred simplistic designs for their businesses.

Regardless of one’s preference, the design of a sign gauges the businesses ability to attract and acquire new customers.

Sapna Budey, director of International Sign Association for strategic initiatives once said, “Who hasn’t been driving down the street, stopped at a store and made a purchase merely because they saw the sign?”  According to Budey business owners need to give close attention to design elements like color, contrast and size to make it compelling.

1. Color Choice: 

​Color is the essence of sign’s design. It can stand for different value propositions of a business. It also reflects brands identity in the market. Imagining Coca Cola and McDonald’s brand would automatically pop up their colors in one’s mind. So, it should be taken special care of while making design decisions.
 
Budev points out that 80% of recognition of trademark comes from its color. So do not choose random or trending color but rather think long term while choosing color for your brand.

​2. Contrast:

It is a key factor for making sign readable. Contrast sets apart foreground with background. The more the contrast, the better the readability.
While applying the concept of contrast, it is important to take the surrounding of the sign placement into consideration. For example, if the sign is placed in an evergreen environment, then it is not wise to use green color for the sign. Things that can be done if the color choice is restricted, like using black or white borders to set things apart visually.

The letters must be also depict contrast with the background. There are industry standard for letter lines and word count. A general rule of thumb is that if the lines are more then the word count will also decrease. This is all done in order to have well sized fonts that get the message across in a few seconds. San serif fonts are commonly. The reason behind it is simple, don’t let serifs of fonts affect the visibility of the sign.

​All in all, contrast plays significant role in design decisions ranging from size, word count, color choice.  

​3. Size:

​Signs and size go hand in hand. The bigger the sign, the more people will see it. The more people get your message, the more conversion. There is no rocket science. It’s just that size matters because eyes can just see so long.

But one shouldn’t go overboard with it. Take consideration at the situation, event and surrounding to determine whether the size factor is destroying aesthetics, looking awkward or becoming an eye sore. 
 
These design principles for creating sings that attract customers will help you in making better decisions for effective business growth.

Did You Set Your Budget for Marketing in 2017?

How Much Should You Be Budgeting for Marketing in 2017?
​

Do you dread budgeting for 2017? Are you struggling to justify investing in a particular marketing channel or New Signage for your company?  Or does Re-Branding seem to be a hill to big to climb?

Ever feel like your marketing budget was pulled out of a hat?


Almost every marketer I’ve ever met either struggles with either an arbitrary marketing budget created by upper management or the challenge of creating a budget that balances growth goals with cost limitations.

As confusing and frustrating as it can be to put together a reasonable marketing budget (or create a compelling argument for reasonable changes to your assigned budget), your marketing budget for 2017 can be an incredibly empowering or limiting factor for your business.


Fortunately, building a marketing budget for 2017 doesn’t have to be something you dread. With the right approach, it can actually be fairly simple to put together a practical, easily justifiable budget that will allow you to reach your marketing and business goals next year.

Plan Your Marketing Budget

Once you align your company goals with your marketing goals, it is time to identify your marketing budget so you can develop a detailed plan that supports your strategy.  To make sure your Image is where you believe it should be!

How you choose to allocate funds for your 2017 marketing efforts depends on your company, industry, target audience and company goals.
To start, examine last year’s plan and metrics. Consider:
  • What were last year’s strategies and tactics?  What worked?? What did not?
  • Will Re-Branding help achieve more presence for you?
  • Where you would like to make improvements?
  • Where your industry is headed, is it time to make a change, and Stand out among your Competitors?
  • How do prospects within your target audience move through the buyer’s journey?
  • Are you touching prospects at each stage of that buyer’s journey?
Picture
Commit to Taking Action

Planning for effective marketing in 2017 starts with developing a solid, carefully thought-out business strategy. Ask yourself the questions above and involve key stakeholders in your business to understand how your plans will need to fit the business plan moving forward. Once you have the plan and budget in place, it is time to start implementing the plan. Commit to taking action, measure and track the plan and analyze the results. You’ll be amazed at the progress you make.

​By keeping your overall budget in mind when you make marketing decisions, you will prevent overspending, and, most importantly, you will have the opportunity to explore various strategies to determine the best solutions for your specific business goals.  Re-Branding is a big move, and one that should not be taken lightly.
