Signage Tips for Start-ups in 2022

Are you a new start-up business in 2022? There is a lot to organise to get your new venture off the ground. If you have a physical office or location, signage should be high on your list of priorities to give a professional appearance to new clients. If you’re thinking about getting new signs for your start-up, here is everything you need to know. 

Why is Signage Important?

You’ve probably already spent a lot of time perfecting your branding, logo, USP, and ideal customer profile. In fact, signage might currently be quite far down the list on your list of priorities. 

But it shouldn’t be. 

Having the right signs above your door and throughout your office or work space is crucial because:

  • It lets people know you are there, open, trading and builds that initial brand recognition.
  • You’ll encourage walk-ins to get your initial sales much faster. Good signage makes a great impression.
  • It makes a better first impression – 60% of people won’t enter a business if there is no sign. 
  • It helps boost brand awareness and gets word of mouth started.

What About Internal Signs?

It’s not just the sign above your door you need to think about. There is also a range of internal signs that will help your new clients navigate your business and build a banded experience inside your establishment:

  • Wayfinding and direction signs (toilets, fire exits, etc.) 
  • Reception plaques
  • Branded wall graphics
  • Promotional signs
