Packaging of all kinds exist here in the United States. From the school marquee sign to marquee signs for businesses, all kinds of signage is important and valuable. First, let’s take a closer look at the continued necessity for signage for businesses.
Signage for businesses has become an essential part of marketing and advertising in the United States, of this there is no doubt. From the LED business signs to more simple on-site signage, various types of business signage is utilized. On-site signage alone plays a critical role, so influential that its use can be compared to taking out as many as 24 full-page advertisements in the typical newspaper – all within the course of just one year. And this on-site signage can come in many different forms.
For instance, on-site signage can include the signage found directly outside of the retail establishment in question. This type of signage can be so influential that adding one of these signs can actually improve the overall revenue that the business brings in by as much as a full 7% – if not even more than this amount. And replacing such a sign with a larger type can have this same effect. Drawing in customers through this method is, after all, very effective, especially when it comes to walk-in customers. After all, up to 17% of all of Best Buy’s walk-in customers have only come into the store because they saw the sign advertising it. Ultimately, this just goes to show how influential signage can be.
Of course, other types of on-site signage can also be hugely effective, such as is the case for on-site signage that is found within the store itself. Such signage can include everything from free-standing signs to wall decals to even price tags. And such on-site signage can boost sales by an impressive amount, with even fully-priced items selling up to 20% more than in stores where such signage is not regularly utilized.
And off-site signage certainly also plays a huge role, especially when it comes to billboards. After all, more than one-third of all people have stated that they pay attention to each and every billboard (or most of the billboards) that they pass by. And more than 70% of all people, nearly three quarters, have stated that they pay attention to at least some of the billboards they encounter, if not all of them. Therefore, it is clear that billboards can have a considerable impact on potential customers all throughout the United States.
There is, after all, even further evidence to support this claim. For one thing, many people make shopping decisions while in the car. This is actually something that has been found to hold true for up to 68% of the entire population here in the U.S. And because of this, billboards have a considerable opportunity to influence people as they drive past, often on their way to a shopping trip. Because of this, it has been found that very nearly one-third of all people will visit a location they saw advertised on a billboard, all within just one week of seeing said billboard.
Signage can be used for purposes aside from advertising as well. School marquee signs are also popular. School marquee signs can be ideal for many reasons but, on the whole, convey a great deal of important information to the school community – to students, parents, and even teachers and other educators, alike. School marquee signs can convey important dates of opening and closing, as well as important student events. You’ll often find a school marquee sign advertising everything from school concerts to sporting events to plays and musicals. School marquee signs can also be utilized for highlighting various student accomplishments or even school-wide accomplishments, something that can instill pride and motivation in the larger school community.
In addition to school marquee signs, signs for churches are widespread. After all, you’ll likely find at least one church in every community that you encounter, at least here in the United States. Church signs can also be used for many information purposes, such as alerting members of the congregation to important worship times throughout the year. In addition to this, church signs can be used to promote inspiration among the church community.
