Shape up your Signage

As the lockdown measures start to relax and 55%* of temporarily closed businesses are expecting to start trading in July, it is the ideal time to ensure your premises is prepared and protected.

Whether you're in need of essential social distancing and COVID-19 signage, temporary signs and graphics to announce your return or looking to scale up your signage, we are here to help. Take a look below at the ways signs & graphics can help you look after your staff and customers as well as enticing new footfall into your premises.

Coronavirus Essentials - support the wellbeing of your staff & customers

Social Distancing Window GraphicSocial Distancing Window Graphic

During this unprecedented time, signage can be used to help communicate the operational status of your business to team members and customers. Whether your company is about to reopen, has had a change in services or is looking for signage to encourage social distancing, communicating your new message is paramount. The mix of signs & graphics available range from hard-wearing anti slip floor graphics, window graphics, banners, pavement furniture and health & hygiene signs and can all be used to:

  • Advise customers of your status – opening soon, open as usual, open with amended trading hours or temporarily closed
  • Enforce social distancing - showcase visual reminders throughout your premises directing customers where to stand as well as any one-way systems in place
  • Provide confidence for customers – communicate new cleaning policies, rotas and general health & hygiene regulations you are enforcing to adhere to the government guidelines

With a high demand on products and an obligation to support the wellbeing of your staff and customers, now is the time to prepare your business for higher footfall with Coronavirus signage. View our Coronavirus Essentials Brochure here to find out more.

Refresh – freshen your current signage solutions

First impressions will be even more paramount when businesses start to re-open, so ensure your signage maximises your brand perception both inside & out. Communicating to your existing and new customers that you are once again ready to thrive as a business, means making sure your signage is up to date and fresh. With the above in mind, now is the perfect time to take the opportunity to refresh your signs and graphics without costing your business valuable downtime. This could include:

  • Exterior - updating your fascia or shop front sign, adding window graphics or simply shouting that you are now open with monoliths & A-boards will provide customers with the right impression of your brand
  • Interior - make sure any interior signage is still up to your brand standards. Refresh your walls with custom wallpaper, create a new visual with window graphics or simply modernise your wayfinding signage
  • Vehicle – with 98%** of people believing vehicle advertising creates a positive image and first impression of your company, revive your existing vehicle graphics or full fleet with a colour change, full wrap or custom decals & stickers

Get Noticed – go the extra mile with new and exciting signs & graphics

I would like to say a huge thankyou to everyone at Signs Express Swansea, who helped us with a Communication Boards project. Sharon was very organised and professional, taking a site visit to make sure that the boards were the perfect size and well situated. Phil was always reassuring, talking us through the fitting process and confirming delivery. Adam and Andrew were very flexible with delivering the boards for us and fitting them so that they were just the right height to be accessed by all. The boards themselves look amazing, Stuart the graphic designer is extremely talented and made all the right tweaks to fill the space on the boards! Thanks so much to all of the team, I would highly recommend!

I contacted Signs express and they talked me through a few different price options and discussed my requirements. they pointed out that part of what I wanted would require the use of vinal wrap and explained why. they then sent me some ideas of what my van would look like. I requested to change a couple of bits and very quickly we had designed exactly what I was looking for. I proof checked it and got booked in for fitting. I dropped the van off in the morning and it was ready for collection in the afternoon, looking exactly how I wanted it. I highly recommend signs express, the whole process was excellent.

In January 2023 we made an initial order of some aluminium signage to be displayed in our elevators and communal stair landings. Since this first order, we have continued using the services of Signs Express for the past 2 years and have subsequently ordered a vast array of signage for our site in Leeds. Providing both an excellent service and a high quality product they are now our "go to" company for all our printing and signage requirements. Rick Nurse has always been extremely helpful and knowledgeable when discussing our requirements. His expertise means he is able to ensure all our requirements are exceeded and that we receive the best product. Highly recommended!
