Your business signage is more than just something that customers use to find the physical location of your store. Whether or not you realize it, it reflects your brand, your attention to detail, and your professionalism. What impression is your signage making? The good news is that, regardless of what type of interior and exterior signage you have, a little bit of maintenance and elbow grease can keep your business signage looking great now and in the future.
Regularly Clean Your Signage
Over time, exterior signs will collect dirt, dust, pollen, and bird droppings. These can make your sign look neglected and also do serious damage to materials like vinyl, acrylic, and metal. To keep your business signage looking great, clean it regularly. For most signs, a gentle cleanser, soft cloth, and water will do the trick. Avoid using any harsh chemicals that can fade colors or damage finishes. If you aren’t sure how to clean the signage that our team installed, contact us for quick tips or ask during your next maintenance visit.
Keep an Eye Out for Wear and Tear
Be honest—how often do you really look at your outdoor signage? Most employees and business owners are so used to walking by signage that they don’t take a moment to truly examine it. Make a habit of conducting routine inspections (particularly after severe weather events, like snowstorms or bad thunderstorms) to look for:
- Fading or peeling
- Rust or corrosion
- Cracking
- Loose or missing bolts or fasteners
- Burned-out bulbs
East West Sign Group offers sign maintenance and repair, so call us as soon as possible after you’ve noticed damage to your signage. Catching these issues early will help keep your business signage looking great for as long as possible.
Invest in High-Quality Signage
Quality matters. One of the best ways to get the most out of your signage is to start with signs that are made of durable, weather-resistant materials. Working with a professional signage company will ensure that your sign is designed and built to withstand the elements while still looking sharp and attractive. High-quality signs are easier to maintain and help you consistently keep your business signage looking great with less effort.
Maintain Your Landscaping
If your signage is installed near trees, shrubs, or other landscaping, it’s important to keep the area cleaned up. Overgrown branches can obscure your sign, scratch the surface, or even cause damage during storms if they fall on the sign. Additionally, leaves and other debris can collect around ground-mounted signs and cause rust or mold growth. Routine landscaping will help your property look tidy and keep your business signage looking great.
