Category questions
Answers for this product type.
Where should storefront identification be placed?
The strongest location is usually aligned with the tenant frontage and visible from the main pedestrian or vehicle approach.
How much wording should a storefront sign include?
The business name or primary brand mark should lead. Extra copy can reduce readability, especially at longer viewing distances.
Can window graphics support the main sign?
Window graphics can carry hours, services or promotional information without forcing secondary details into the primary facade sign.
