<p><strong>Top Tips for Making the Most of your Corporate Signage:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Tell people who you are</strong></li>
<li><strong>Tell people what you do</strong></li>
<li><strong>Tell people why you&#8217;re good</strong></li>
<li><strong>Give them a way to contact you</strong></li>
<li><strong>Give them a call to action</strong></li>
<li><strong>Locate it where it can be seen by the most people</strong></li>
<li><strong>Illuminate it, so people can see it at night</strong></li>
<li><strong>Use your corporate colours to great effect</strong></li>
<li><strong>Ensure it matches your other branding</strong></li>
<li><strong>Use a professional</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Your sign may be the first point of contact between you and a new prospect.  It&#8217;s a perfect opportunity to create an impression of your business, so don&#8217;t leave it to chance.  Have your signage professionally designed &#8211; by someone who understands both design and signmaking, so they can advise you on the best brand design as well as the best materials to achieve the look you&#8217;re aiming for.
