Design the best sidewalk signs for your business
A few things to consider when designing your sidewalk signs:
1.) Be Flexible! Since the inserts for all our sidewalk signs are interchangeable and can be swapped out in seconds, design for specific events, specials, or sales. You can have an insert made for just your mid-week lunch special, and in seconds change out the inserts to promote your mid-week happy hour! Because the inserts are inexpensive, refresh your message often and keep your customers engaged.
2.) Less is More! Make a big impact! Generally speaking, less is more. A large "Sale Today, 50% OFF" is more effective than lots of copy and text talking about your product lines or services. A well-designed sidewalk sign placed prominently in front of your business is a perfect draw for that impulse shopper.
3.) Set the scene! Remember to design your sidewalk sign based on the context of where you are placing your sign in front of your business. When you design your sidewalk sign, you may not even need your company logo on the insert as the sidewalk sign is most likely placed in front of your business and close to your existing signage and branding.
4.) The Details! Most sidewalk sign inserts are either 22" x 28" or 24" x 36" in size. It is not uncommon for us to receive print-ready PDF files for sidewalk sign inserts that have been created or designed by office admin staff or store managers instead of professional graphic designers. Given the area for the insert is fairly small, and the design fairly simple with limited text and copy, give it a try yourself. But remember, should you need a little helping hand, AlphaGraphics Camelback has a full staff of trained graphic designers to back you up! Generally in a day or two at most, we can take your napkin doodle to a full print-ready PDF file will all the eye-catching pizzazz you need.
A-Frames for every industry
When you think of the most common uses of A-frame sign advertising, of course, you think of retail and restaurants. But consider for a moment large public events and gatherings, where sandwich board printed signs are used for parking, and crowd control, and wayfinding. Imagine going to a concert, sporting event, or fundraiser and you will most likely see extensive use of quality temporary signage in the form of "A" frame signs. Construction sites are also perfect users of safety and directional signage. Lastly, hardly a single open house happens without the use of multiple "A" frame signs directing you to the house.
Choose from different sandwich sign board sizes
Sidewalk signs come in many different sizes, but the two most common "A" frame signs use inserts either 22" x 28" or 24" x 36" in size. The inserts can be swapped out in seconds. We generally print the inserts on 4 mm corrugated durable outdoor plastic with vivid full-color UV inks that can last for years. Even the harsh Arizona sun is no match for our durable inks and outdoor plastics.
If you are on a busy street, we also offer a flexible "wind" sign that uses integrated springs to allow the sign to move with the wind and not tip over. Stop by today and look at the whole family of sidewalk advertising sign options.
