Many of our new customers come to us with no idea of what signage they need for their business or where to begin. We like to tell them that they have already begun! Our expert team at The Sign Center can take your vision and goals and turn them into the perfect business signs. North Jersey enterprises should ask themselves the following questions at the start of the sign making process:
- Where will the new sign go? Do I need interior or exterior signage?
- How big of a marker do I want?
- For wall-mounted signs, what are the dimensions of the wall where the sign will be installed?
- What type of wall is it? What color is it?
- How should the sign be mounted?
The overall design of your marker will depend on the answers to these questions. After calling The Sign Center, we can conduct a site survey and figure out the answers to these questions and recommend specific materials based on what we find. For example, we do not want the sign to clash with the color or design of the wall on which it will hang.
What Signs Catch Your Eyes?
Knowing what signage is attractive to you will help us make recommendations for your business. If you see something around town that you like, snap a picture with your smartphone and send it to us. We can create proofs that fit your needs based on designs that you are drawn to. We craft signs from many different types of materials, such as acrylic, wood, metals, and plastics. Knowing what materials you prefer helps us to create a sign you love.
Other Considerations
Before we begin creating a proof for your marker, there are other details we will ask you about:
- Color Options – We will ask you how precise you want the coloration to be for your text and logo. To make sure you are getting the exact color that you require, we use Pantone matching system color. If you are looking to save money and are not too picky about the hue, we can usually find a stock color that is close to most colors. Otherwise, we can customize the colors to be exactly what you want.
Vector Image Files – If you want to incorporate a specific logo or other image into your signage, we will generally request a copy of the image in vector format. This is because we can easily blow up the image and still have it look good when it is in vector format. In rare cases, we can also work with giant non-vector image files.- What Are You Looking to Spend? – The options available to you will often depend on what your budget is. Thankfully, even if you are working with a tight budget, there are always materials available to create the look you want for your new signage.
