A well-designed sign communicates quality, credibility and personality.
Overview
Whether you need a monument at your entrance, a yard sign in front of a home or directional signs to guide visitors, great signage plants your brand in your audience’s mindshare. First impressions are as important as they are quick, and the signs you place in front of and around your site can set the tone for your audience’s brand experience. New or refreshed signage is a declaration that things are happening with your organization and a way to inspire action from those who read it. We deliver this and MORE through our comprehensive signage strategy.
Signage and monuments reinforce your identity and messaging to residents, visitors and prospects 24/7.
Comprehensive Strategy
As part of our holistic brand development process, we determine if signage is key to your success. Then, we evaluate whether you’d be best served by permanent, long-term or short-term signage and what responses your goals need it to encourage. With deep knowledge of your brand and strategy, we create a definitive guide that details every sign we will make and its specifications, graphic design guidelines, materials and how to maximize impact around municipal constraints.
This process ensures everything we create aligns with your brand. For example, when we develop wayfinding signage for new-home communities, the look of the signs must be true to the look of the homes and amenities around them. So we include best-match Sherwin-Williams colors in the brand guide to ensure visual consistency. This level of detail can only come from a partner that deeply understands your brand.
We integrate signage into your brand strategy from the beginning.
We plan for sightlines, lighting, weather exposure and municipal restrictions before concepts are finalized to prevent costly hold-ups.
We handle concept, design, permitting, vendor coordination, installation and maintenance strategy so you never have to manage multiple parties.
We create signage packages that are easy to update, relocate, or expand while keeping brand consistency intact.
Our guides give vendors exact specifications for every sign type, down to mounting hardware and concrete depths.
We design signage to guide and influence people at every touchpoint, from the street entrance to the smallest interior placard.
Execution
Once the strategy is set, we coordinate vendors and manage installation so you avoid juggling multiple parties and government red tape. We also engage in site visits to assess every relevant detail about the environment, from local weather conditions to foot traffic analysis. Our expertise allows smaller marketing teams to tackle these large-scale projects because we bring specialized knowledge, like wayfinding strategies and spatial mapping, that in-house teams don’t always possess. No matter if you want us to manage everything or if you want to collaborate closely, we are adaptive to your preferred level of involvement.
We handle design, vendor coordination, installation and maintenance strategy.
Because of our detailed guides, the final product always matches the creative vision.
Results
The types of return you receive on your investment in signage will vary by strategy. Short-term signage, especially ones featuring a trackable QR code, can deliver immediate, measurable results while long-term signage builds lasting brand value that is sometimes harder to quantify, though more impactful. We saw the value of a signage strategy centered on brand affinity firsthand with GuilfordWorks.
