Use Sidewalk Signs to Capture Attention

Sidewalk signs demand the attention of passersby and create new opportunities for your business. At business locations that see foot traffic, a well-placed sidewalk sign is the perfect complement to a permanent business sign and attractive window displays. With several methods of customizing your message, it’s easy to find a sidewalk sign that suits your application.

Chalk and Dry Erase Signs

Chalk and dry erase signs highlight your personality. These are the most customizable sidewalk signs available. The entire face of the sign is a palette, allowing you to create unique messages to draw customers in. Another benefit of dry erase and chalkboard sidewalk signs is that they can be updated quickly should plans or availabilities change. There are a few things to be careful of with these types of signs. Precipitation can erase your message, so be on the look out for inclement weather. Also, if responsibility for authoring and illustrating the sign falls to an employee, make sure to discuss brand consistency with them.

Channel Letter Signs

Channel letters are for quick and easy custom messages. Like chalk and dry erase signs, a channel letter board can be updated in real time for sales and events. These letter boards streamline the customization process by limiting changes to text. While channel letters aren't as unique as chalk and dry erase, they do represent hassle-free customizable messaging that is consistent with your brand. Channel letters have the added benefit of being weather-resistant, and with a SignTrax cover system, they are tamper-proof as well.

Panel Signs

Panel signs are the best of both worlds. They use removable panels, which support screen-printing and vinyl graphics. Like channel letters, they can be insulated with SignTrax. With panel signs you also have the option of affixing a poster to the panel. This allows you to reuse or redesign your existing marketing materials and use them in a protected sidewalk sign.

Most sidewalk signs are available with a variety of bases and frames. WindSigns are a great option for windy climates. The base can be filled with sand, and the frame features a flexible attachment to discourage tipping. Whatever and wherever you're advertising, there is a sidewalk signage solution for you.

Note: One of the key functions of a sidewalk sign is to extend your brand into public space. Please consult a signage professional to discuss any local regulations.
