Some business signs would be eye-catching even if they were printed in black and white.

Of course, we still recommend adding color and taking the time on the design of your sign as we have highlighted in our blog “How to Design an Eye-Catching Business Sign,” however, these types of business signs listed below, are sure to increase the effectiveness of your stunning design so you can gain even better results.

1. Banners

Custom banners, whether hanging vinyl banners, retractable banners, or x-stand banners stand out and grab people's attention no matter where they are placed.

Banners are the perfect type of eye-catching business sign to use for trade shows, events, to promote a grand opening, that you’re hiring, having a huge sale, to advertise a new product or service offering and so much more.

No matter what industry you are in, or what the message is you are looking to promote, banners are effective at attracting anyone who passes by your business sign.

2. Posters

Traditional print media has always worked, and poster signs are no exception. Even the posters hanging on the walls back when you were in school, caught your eye right?

That’s because a well-designed poster is eye-catching! Plus, they are extremely affordable and versatile, as they come in a variety of standard and custom sizes. They can even be inserted into a frame to add a professional touch.

Posters are a tried-and-true business sign and whether you are promoting a sale, looking to build brand awareness, advertising an event you are hosting, or looking to share important business information, an eye-catching poster is a business sign you need to use.

3. Yard Signs

A custom yard sign on a lawn, near the street, or in front of your business is impossible to miss and is the perfect local advertising business sign.

They target your audience in the specific area you place them in, they spread brand awareness, they’re affordable, and they drive traffic.

One example of how these well-known business signs work at catching the eye of your audience is a real estate yard sign promoting a house for sale. People drive by that house every day and not much changes. However, when a realtor places that for sale sign in the yard, it changes up the scenery and attracts the eye of every passerby because there is something new. And whether that person who views that sign is in the market for a new home or not, it still grabbed their attention and strengthened brand awareness.

This is the same reason why political yard signs, construction yard signs, restaurant yard signs, lawn care yard signs, and other types of yard signs work at grabbing the attention of their audience.

4. Ceiling Danglers

Ceiling danglers, when designed well, are the type of eye-catching business sign that no one can ignore when they walk into your business. They are cost-effective and promote your business’s message from above. This is especially beneficial if you own a retail store and have shelves or point of purchase displays, or even in restaurants where there may not be much room to place a sign like a banner or a poster.

Custom ceiling danglers not only help decrease clutter on sales floors, but they are also extremely effective at directing your customers to your most profitable products.

When you’re advertising your business, you need to take advantage of every potential canvas your audience may be looking towards, and that includes ones above eye level to really optimize your marketing message.

5. Floor Decals

Custom floor decals or floor graphics work similarly to ceiling danglers as they aren’t the typical place you would think to put a business sign. However, they are an eye-catching business sign that you need to take advantage of.

Take social distancing floor decals for example, we’re all familiar with them and it was hard to miss the message on the ground that let you know where to stand in line.

People aren’t constantly looking ahead, they are looking above, to the side, behind them, and towards their feet. And when you utilize a floor decal that promotes a sale, guides customers to a certain product, simply promotes your brand to build brand awareness, or even informs customers where your checkout line begins, you’re sure to advertise your message effectively.

6. Wall Graphics

Custom wall graphics or wall decals dress up a blank wall and drive attention to your message.

They come in both indoor and outdoor materials so you can catch your audience’s eye whether you’re promoting your message on an exterior brick wall, above your reception desk, or even in a conference room or lobby.

Use wall graphics to promote your logo, your company slogan, company history, or display beautiful imagery. A blank wall won’t get noticed but when you take advantage of a custom wall decal, your audience can’t ignore your message, and engagement, as well as brand awareness, will increase.

7. Window Decals

A blank window on your car, retail store, or office is looked right over (or right through.) People don’t expect a window to have a message for them, that’s why window decals or window graphics are an important eye-catching business sign you need to consider using.

They also come in a variety of materials to meet your exact marketing needs. For example, if you want to effectively build brand awareness and attract more customers, then use a large vinyl window decal cut to the right shape with your logo.

If you want to promote a sale effectively by letting anyone who passes by your storefront know about your sale, use a static window cling that you can easily remove and reuse. Or if you’re looking to promote your brand even on the road to catch the eye of other drivers, then use a perforated window film decal so you can see through the window, but your audience engages with your message.

8. Backlit Signs

A sign that lights up is sure to catch the eye of anyone who passes by!

Backlit signs can be printed on a variety of materials, including acrylic, polycarbonate, or polystyrene. They are then illuminated by a light source behind the printed sign, like a lightbox.

These types of business signs increase your sign’s visibility and are eye-catching during the day and at night. They are also extremely versatile as you can create a blade sign that displays perpendicular to an interior or exterior wall, or you can create a wall sign or dimensional lettering using backlit signage.

9. Table Tents

You may be thinking, “how are table tents listed as an eye-catching business sign that I need now when they are so tiny?”

Table tents may be the smallest type of business sign listed in this blog, however, in the right setting, they can’t be missed.

For example, if you own a restaurant and place a table tent promoting your specials, happy hour, your other locations, or other message, your customers are going to notice it. Other than the salt and pepper shakers or utensils, your custom table tent is the only other thing sitting on the table and it has a message directed to your customer. This is also true for waiting rooms or lobbies, checkout counters, and reception desks. For example, while your cashier is processing your customer’s payment, if you have a table tent offering your rewards program, or next week’s sale, your customer is going to notice and engage with it.

Plus, table tents are affordable. So, you could benefit from one of the eye-catching business signs above as well as take advantage of table tents to increase your success even more.

In fact, many of the above business signs are very cost-effective, so we recommend combining 2 or more to really make your message stand out.
