HOW TO BOOST YOUR BUSINESS USING SIGNAGE.

Any business whether old or new has been find it tough financially over the last few years.  Covid-19 virus crippled many businesses. Many small businesses shut down and never got going again. The Government is forced many businesses to close for an undetermined time.  Unemployment is increasing rapidly. Its having a drastic effect on the economy. Some business people are lucky enough to have some work still coming through the doors. If that applies to you then you need to make sure all potential customers know you what service or products you provide.

If your business is in dire straights with not enough work coming in to cover your costs, then you may need a boost to help you generate some new customers.

EFFECTIVE ADVERTISING OPTIONS

Signage is one of the few types of advertising that features an initial one off cost. This makes any type of sign exceptionally good value. However it needs to be done correctly by a good signwriter. The right kind of signage will convey to customers exactly what type of business they are dealing with. So its important to have the best looking signs for whatever your budget. Types of signs that are cost effective include aframes, banners, site signs, corflute signs, sign panels and simple shopfront signs. You can’t beat the ROI of these types of low cost signs. Your sign will give you years of advertising 24/7. Best thing is the sign was a one off low cost.

Other types of effective business promotion including adwords, or anything online. However these types of advertising have an ongoing monthly cost. It can be difficult to measure the success of online marketing and often you need an expert to help you navigate what to do and where to target customers.

Other promotional tools include advertising in local newspapers, radio and television. These are expensive and ongoing in cost. Advertising in trade journals, school magazines, sports club publications, catalogues and brochures can be quite expensive as well and the ROI is hard to qualify. Direct mail, Yellow pages and White pages have been around forever, but again it can be difficult to analyse how good the return is from these types of advertising?

Summarising – Business owners only need to invest a minimal amount of money to get their business looking good. Get your shop front painted and sign written. Have your vehicles branded. You now have 24/7 advertising.  These will last you for years without any additional or on going costs.

SIGNAGE IDEAS TO BOOST YOUR BUSINESS

Here’s a few signage ideas that won’t cost you the earth to help you generate new business.

Northern Beaches Signage

A frame signs – are cost effective and can be positioned outside your premises 24/7. Potentially this catches thousands of cars passing everyday. Otherwise the aframe signs will be seen by hundreds of foot traffic customers as they pass your work place. Aframes are popular for retail stores. Trades people use a frames as movable site signs. Aframes are effectively used outside for sports signs and personal trainers.

Corflute Signs Northern Beaches | Site Signs | Absolute Sign Solutions

Another cheap and mobile type of sign is a grass spike sign. These can be easily positioned anywhere in grass and garden beds.

BANNERS AND FLAGS

Sign Solutions Sydney

Banners are one of the most versatile types of signage. Banners can be permanent or temporary. They are an easily movable promotional tool for your business. Banners can be cable tied to a fence, tied to a tree or hung from a building. Banners are really cost effective and can be easily rolled up to store away when not in use.

Sign Solutions Sydney

Another type of promotional sign is a printed teardrop flag. These can be used with ground spikes into grass or garden beds. Alternatively teardrop flags are attached to a wall with a bracket or used on concrete with a stand. Teardrops come in four sizes.

CORFLUTE SITE SIGNS

Sign Solutions Sydney

Builders and all trades need identification, safety and promotion signage. Corflute signs are durable, long lasting and very cost effective. Site signs can be attached to any fence or wall. Site signs can also be used with grass spikes and placed in the lawn or garden bed.

TIME TO UPGRADE YOUR BUSINESS IMAGE

You may have some spare time if your business has slowed down? Have you considered a face lift to make your premises look more relevant and a going concern?

Outdoor Signs | Create your Signage | Absolute Sign Solutions

Without spending big dollars you could redo the signwriting on your shop front so it looks nice and fresh.  New looking signs will attract attention and be inviting to potential customers. Your local signwriter can do any of the following to upgrade your business image. Awnings, shopfront walls, window signage, reception signs, car park signs, and light box signs. Your carpark may need new lines and your company logo so customers know where to park their vehicles.

HANDPAINTED SIGNS

sale signs

Hand painted signs give great value to businesses. Signwriting gives something thats different or original. Hand painting or sign writing is a better alternative for painted surfaces such as rough walls, interior gyprock walls. Signwriting on glass shopfronts is a great alternative for promotional and window sale signs. Hand signwriting is also sought after by shopping centres, cafes, restaurants. Owners of B&B’s and country properties want hand painted signage. Hand painted signs have a certain ‘look’ which gives more character and an ‘old world’ feel which is more organic. Its hard to get the same result with printed and plastic vinyl signs. Here’s some examples of business owners using their downtime to get their premises looking good and ready for when things pick up again. These are all examples of clients wanting a bespoke job giving them the ‘right look’ for their image and customer base.

WALL SIGNS

Entry signs include all types of sign panels. Panels can be mounted off the wall to give more impact.

RECEPTION SIGNS

reception signs

Reception signs can be as simple as flat panels mounted onto the wall. Alternatively a more upmarket look can be achieved by using 3D letters. These are often routed or laser cut and custom sprayed to match pantone colours. The 3D letters can then be glued to the wall. Various thickness are available between 3mm and 50mm thick.

USING MOTOR VEHICLES TO PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS

You can have signage on your car, ute, van, truck or trailer. You can have your logo and business details sign written in a simple way or if you have a bigger budget you can cover the whole vehicle. Here’s a few examples –

Aframe Signage

Aframe signs are one of the most cost effective ways to advertise your business and services. A frames are lightweight, easily transported and can be positioned anywhere. Aframe signs are the perfect medium to advertise your products or direct customers to your store. They make a good site sign for tradies. Aframes make great welcome signs. They are effective to use for entry and exit signs and also warning signage – OHS.

Types of Aframes

A frames are made from metal or wood. The most common sizes are 900mm x 600mm and 1200mm x 900mm. However custom sizes can be fabricated, such as 1800mm x 1200mm or even larger.

Metal Aframes

 Metal aframes are robust and very durable. They come in a powder coated finish and with two handles. Metal aframes have a solid metal face that can be printed on or covered with vinyl cut graphics. Insertable aframes are another alternative. They are designed so panels can be inserted into the frame and easily removed also. This gives flexibility when messages need to be changed.

Boat signage Northern Beaches

Do you need a sign for your yacht or motor cruiser?  There are two options for boat signage. Boat names are either sign written with paint or alternatively made with vinyl stickers.

A brush is used to do traditional sign writing. The signwriter hand paints the sign or design directly to the hull of the boat.

Hand Painted Signwriting

Hand painting is done with tough and durable enamel paint. Enamel sign writing paint is easily touched up if scratched to make like new again. Alternatively, if stickers are damaged they will need to be stripped off and redone.

3D Freestanding signs https://absolutesignsolutions.com.au/3d-freestanding-signs/ Mon, 07 Jul 2025 10:39:09 +0000 https://absolutesignsolutions.com.au/?p=20679 FOAM LETTERS AND SIGNS
Are you after some foam signs for your business? 3D foam letters can create more impact for exterior building signs and events or promotions. 3D foam signs can be made up to 2 metres in size and can be handpainted in any colour. Foam signs can have greater impact and enhance the ‘3D effect’. This is done by using strategic lighting to cast dramatic shadows onto the background of walls. Foam letters can be used inside and outside.

The post 3D Freestanding signs appeared first on Absolute Sign Solutions.

]]>

3D Freestanding signs

3D signs are ideal for events and promotions. 3D letters when used on stage for an event give a lot of impact. Foam letters are light weight and cost effective therefore one of the best materials for large letters and logos. Polystyrene foam is best cut in letter styles that are suitable to stand on a flat surface. The foam letters are painted in any colour including pantone colours following company guidelines. Poly foam is available in various grades and thickness.  Free standing foam letters need to be between 150mm and 600mm thick. The height of the letters determines how thick the letters need to be made so they are stable when free standing.

Exterior grade foam is suitable for exterior building signs.  Letters must have at least 2 coats of exterior grade acrylic paint. This is to give them UV protection from the sun and make them long lasting.

Interior grade foam is cheaper and not as hard as the exterior grades. It is more cost effective and suitable for promotional signs and Event signage.

First impressions count!

This laser cut acrylic sign has custom made clear brackets fabricated to hold letters 300mm off the wall. The faux garden wall was then applied around the letters to give the impression of the name floating in front of the leaves.

3D acrylic letters on faux garden wall

The example below is a free standing foam sign around 10mtrs long. The University of Notre Dame engaged us to create an impressive sign to use on open days and special occasions.  The foam letters are large and stable but light enough to move around and store away after each event.

 

This example shows a 3D logo installed on site for Under Armour at this years City2Surf at Bondi Beach, Sydney.

 

This example shows foam letters with individual bases collectively making the logo eight metres long. The advantage of individual foam letters with a base are:

  • Individual letters are easier to transport especially when over a metre high
  • Its easier to make a solid weighted base to provide sturdiness if using letters outside
  • Easier for the client to move around and store away after use

Cost Effective

3D foam letter airbrushed

Foam letters are a cost effective option when compared with 3D fabricated acrylic or metal letters. They have the same look but without the big budget needed for metal and perspex fabrication.

For a greater impact , lighting can be used to cast dramatic shadows and highlight the foam structure consequently giving more impact.

Colours available

Polystyrene foam can be cut or machined to shape. The letters can be painted in any colour.

This example is for a product launch for Bethesda Software owned by Microsoft

The example shows the number sixty is custom painted. The foam number have a flat shaved base therefore they are sturdy on a table or stage.

3D foam numbers 60painted

For those wanting to really make a statement, foam letters can also have a smooth acrylic face colour coded to match colours. Foam letters can be up to 2.5mtrs high and up to 600mm thick. Large foam letters are lightweight, therefore easy to move and are often used for events and promotional signs. Logos, branding, hashtags and symbols can be cut in solid freestanding foam and painted in corporate colours. These are then placed on stage in venues. Alternatively the foam can be pegged into the grass on ovals and arenas.

We can advise on what sort of foam letters will work best for your project.

How we create free standing foam letters

Netflix Australia needed large 3D logos for their new office in Sydney.

They also needed a quantity of the Netflix letter ‘N’. These would be used at different locations for event and promotional purposes.

3D foam letters are the best option when considering price and the finished product. The advantage of foam letters is that foam is light and easy to use for promotions, displays and events. Large letters over 1mtr to 2.4mtr high can still be carried and transported easily. Similiar size letters from fabricated acrylic or timber would be too heavy to move as well as being 3 times the price. The foam polystyrene letters and shapes are cut with a hot wire to give the best finish. The thickness of the letters can be anywhere from 50mm to 600mm. The thicker the foam, the more stable the letter when standing.

Netflix foam letters cut to size

HOW TO MAKE STURDY FOAM LETTERS

Weights can be installed in the base of each foam letter. This gives the letters a much lower centre or gravity making them less likely to tip over.

holes for weights in foam letters

HOW TO MAKE FOAM LETTERS MORE DURABLE

After the weights are added the whole letter is coated with 2 part epoxy resin. This gives a tougher more durable finish compared to just painted foam.

Weghts added to foam letters for stability

FOLLOWING CORPORATE GUIDELINES

The 3D Netflix logos are painted in their corporate colours.

FINAL TOUCHES ON FOAM LETTERS

This involves spray guns and airbrush to give a professional finish.

Colours are carefully matched to pantone specifications following corporate guidelines.

Finished Netflix letters ready for clear coat

The finished foam product looks fantastic. The extra weights and the resin coating gives a tough and stable letter that will be suitable to use in an outside situation as well.

Finished foam letters Netflix

The client will be moving the 3D Netflix letters to offsite locations when needed. Foam letters could be damaged in transport. We provide a custom packaging service using light but durable plastic crates and soft but dense foam rubber for protection. When the customers event is over it is easy to repack the foam logos and store them safely until needed again.

Bang for Buck

3D foam letter airbrushed

Foam letters are a more cost effective option when compared with 3D fabricated acrylic or metal letters. They have the same look without the big budget needed for metal and perspex fabrication.

The letters cut from foam are light and easy to transport. If damaged the painted surface is easily touched up. The foam letters can also be repaired easily.

Colours available

This can be colour coded to match.

Foam letters can be up to 2.5mtrs high and up to 600mm thick. Large foam letters are lightweight, therefore easy to move and are often used for events and promotional signs.

This helps with security and theft issues.  Anything you get your sign writer to work on is tax deductible.

CLIENT BRIEF

Sydney based physiotherapy clinic has a studio in Curl Curl on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. A shop front renovation is needed with new signs that will be easily noticed and long lasting. Absolute Sign Solutions did an onsite inspection. Measurements were taken and a new design was mocked up for sign writing. The sign proof was then forwarded to the client for approval. This location is a busy road where thousands of people drive by every day. Therefore the hand painted message needed to be easily read and strategically positioned on the wall to maximise the view as you drive down the hill.

HOW SIGNS ARE DONE

We do as much preparation as possible prior to going on site. This includes layouts, measurements, checking OHS and traffic issues and communicating with the client so everything runs like clock work. The wall sign was all hand painted using a brush by our signwriters. The wall was very rough (see detail)

Handpainted sign to rough wall

However this is no problem for an experienced signwriter.

Hand painting always gives you the best outcome for a long lasting wall sign. No other method will work as well on a rough surface. The only other option is by using sign panels which are produced and installed to the surface of the wall. However this can be costly. The life of the sign panels would probably be less than the hand painted signs, therefore not as cost effective. Another advantage of hand painted signs is that they can be touched up or recoated if needed down the track. Alternatively sign panels need to be removed and replaced with new ones when past their use by date. Often the customer prefers the look of a hand painted finish as it becomes and looks like ‘part of the wall’.

WHAT A SIGN WRITER DOES

A traditional sign writer hand paints just about anything. These include

  • One off signs
  • Lettering in any type of font style
  • Replicating logos
  • Stylised artwork and designs
  • Photo realistic signs and images
  • A professional sign writer trained in brush art can create anything!

THE VALUE OF HAND PAINTED SIGNS
  • Hand painted signs are great value considering how long they last. Customers always comment on the value of a ‘sign written’ sign.
  • Painted signs have lots of character. They can be exact or very rustic depending on the customers requirements.
  • When hand painted, the sign actually becomes part of the wall or the surface they are sign written on.
  • Hand done signs last.
  • Hand painted sign writing can be applied to virtually any type of surface
    TYPES OF APPLICATIONS FOR HAND PAINTED SIGNS

    Hand painted signs are becoming more popular. Food and beverage businesses such as cafes, restaurants, pubs and bars ask for hand painted signwriting.  Traditionally trained signwriters are often engaged to hand paint menu boards, price lists, signs and wall murals. There is also a trend for boutique shops and small businesses to engage sign writers to hand paint signs that are more original, rustic and organic. Hand painted signs give a more personal touch making them perfect for events, weddings and special occasions

    Our Signwriters are all in house. We give you high quality and long lasting sign writing for your business. We can design or replicate any type of logo, image or design. Our sign writers have over 30 years of experience in all types of traditional hand painting as well as the other types of signage.
