Tips: Planning Your Sign

It is good aesthetics as well as good advertising to unify the look of your business, your signage and the architecture of your building and neighborhood. This whole is called a sign system. If you pay attention to the big picture, think through your short and long-term plans for image building and advertising, and develop your signage program accordingly, your investments will pay off in business growth. Make Sign-GrafX Group your skilled consultants in this planning process. As part of your smart business development team we will deliver value, quality and service. Remember, investing in effective signage is the best possible "bang for your advertising buck," compared to any other advertising media.

Planning your sign project with Sign-GrafX involves thinking about several complex elements, including:

  • Researching the local sign regulations and zoning
  • Studying the immediate surroundings so that your sign will stand out and be harmonious in its environment
  • Determining the image you want to project
  • Allocating a budget and funding that's appropriate for your sign
  • Getting the design or logo work done
  • Deciding on the appropriate materials and fabrication style
  • Processing the sign permit application and obtaining the approvals
  • Ordering and fabricating the sign
  • Scheduling and preparing for delivery and installation
  • Dealing with unforeseen problems

As you can see, having a sign made is often more complex and time-consuming than you might think. Sign-GrafX can handle as much of the planning as you are willing to contract out to us, but we will need input from you at various points. A simple non-regulated sign, a banner, vehicle or window lettering, or a simple interior sign can be done in a day or two. More complex signs, especially carved or dimensional signs, and U/L label electrical signs, can take weeks to design, permit, obtain materials, assemble, inspect, deliver and install. Make sure you have enough built-in lead time to avoid painful deadline crunches.
