1. Display Your Brand Proudly
There are many ways that storefront signage can help promote a key sale for your store, which we will talk about in a bit. However, the biggest benefit has to be that storefront graphics can help you display your brand to everyone that walks by. When done right, storefront signage can help attract your target customers right into your store. For example, if you've ever walked past a Hollister or American Eagle, you know those are two lifestyle clothing stores by simply looking at the pictures outside their store. The pictures are of models out on the beach enjoying the summer in their new clothes. That's the power that storefront signage can offer your brand as well. It can help you showcase your products, models using your products, or a motto that helps customers understand your company's goal. Make sure you're investing in high-quality graphic materials.

When it comes to your brand, you'll want to invest in long-term applications that can push your brand out to the world.
2. Push Your Promotions
As with any reputable brand, you likely have tremendous promotions to offer your target clientele. These might be holiday-related or just used as a way of pushing sales for a particular product/service. Whatever the case might be, those promotions won't do you any good if your target market isn't aware of them! Storefront signage is a tremendous way to show off your sales and promotions. You can use short-term applications to push upcoming promotions and attract customers to your store. After all, the only way the get the sale is by walking into the store. For example, let's say that you have a Black Friday promotion that beats your competitors. If so, you'll want to display it proudly on the windows of your store.
You can use storefront signage to grab your customers' attention with a large "50-percent off" sign, as well as highlight the details, terms, and conditions of the sale. Using our gloss, matter, or custom lamination, you can pitch the promotion in a way that lines up with your brand. Use eye-popping graphics and color psychology to make your target audience take a second look whenever they walk by.
3. Boost Brand Recall
As any customer journey map will tell us, you won't always draw in your ideal customer the first time they are exposed to your brand. Most of them go through a five-step process: awareness, consideration, acquisition, service, and loyalty. As you might expect, your storefront graphics is mainly used for the first step, awareness. Sometimes the biggest hurdle is exposing people to your brand. If they see your storefront signage the first time, they'll start to consider your brand and be more likely to step inside the second or third time they walk past it. Promotions can be an excellent way to get your customer to the acquisition phase quicker, which you can also feature on your signage. Storefront graphics can help you expose your clients to your store for the very first time. While they might not need your products right away, they'll log your brand in their head for future use.
4. Create Eye Candy
What makes a client step into a store for the first time? Is it the name of the store? No. Is it the size of the store? No. Is it the products inside the store? Not often. Believe it or not, the number one reason a customer walks into a store for the first time is because of the store's branding. By using awesome signage like superior vinyl for floor, wall, and window, perforated window decals, and laminations, you can create something so eye-popping, the customer won't have any choice but to walk into your store.
5. Break the Jitters
Customers are often hesitant to walk into a store they're unfamiliar with, even if the products you sell are right down their alley. You can break the "customer jitters" with your signage. If your storefront signage looks welcoming and friendly, your target audience will be excited to walk in and learn more about your brand. We want to help you break the mold.
