Consider the experience of a late night, lonely highway drive. Coming up to a well-lit gas station, grocery store or all-night diner is a welcome respite from miles of darkness. Lighted signs offer an actual beacon to draw customers in or to advertise products, prices and hours. They serve a purpose in the marketing and selling landscape, but also welcome customers with a certain warmth.
Businesses small and large are working to establish an advertising style that can encourage customers to visit brick and mortar stores. Social media and digital marketing serve a purpose, but many people want the experience of being back in stores, touching products in stock and chatting with knowledgeable salespeople. Bright exterior signage can set a business apart from others and draw customers toward a sale, promotion or new product launch.
Inside a business, lighted signs help guide customers through a business. No one appreciates the experience of arriving at a new business and not knowing where to park, where to find the entrance, or how to distinguish a service area from a sales area. Lighted signs offer a clear and visible path.
Once inside a business or facility, lighted signs can offer clear directions for restroom locations, fire exits and customer service returns and exchanges. Visitors who feel gently guided through a retail space are more relaxed and feel calmer about the experience within the store. Clear, bright and lighted signage sets a professional and friendly tone. It demonstrates a commitment to customer comfort and ease of navigation at all hours of the day and night. Large, lighted signs allow any visitor to a facility to feel comfortable finding their way toward products or toward the retail assistance they need. Lighted signs create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all who approach a building.
