On a busy industrial estate, blending in is the last thing you want.
With units often looking alike and competition just a few doors down, your signage is one of the quickest ways to get noticed by passersby and remembered. You may have bold fascia signs, neon signs, or clear directional markers - whatever it is, the right setup doesn’t just make you easier to find, it shows you mean business.
In this blog, we’ll be delving into how industrial estate business signage can take your business from being one that is overlooked, to one that stays top of mind.
First impressions go a long way, and let’s face it - your business’ exterior is always the first thing people see, so it’s important to stand out. In settings like an industrial estate, the buildings are pretty much carbon copies of each other, so what you add to it can make all the difference in standing out from the crowd.
Here's why it matters:
Grabs attention: If you’ve got yourself effective outdoor business signage, you’re guaranteed to stand out in a sea of similar-looking units.
Improves visibility: According to a report by CustomNeon, 77% of respondents have previously had trouble finding a business due to poor signage or no signage, so helping customers, suppliers and deliveries finding you quickly and easily is key.
Set expectations: If you showcase a quality, custom sign on your business’ industrial estate, you’re more than likely to give the impression that your product or service is quality too. In fact, 68% of consumers link signage to business quality, so it really serves as a silent representative to your brand.
Luckily, when it comes to professional signage you’ve got plenty to choose from. Here’s what options you can expect:
Fascia Signs: Large signs typically mounted above your entrance or on the front of your building. They’re ideal for showcasing your logo and making sure your premises are easily identifiable from the road - they can come illuminated or not, it’s your choice.
Wayfinding (directional) Signs: Wayfinding signs can be internal or external, and they’re designed to help guide the customer to wherever they need to be. A prime example of this would be a ‘Toilet this way → ’ sign you’d find in a restaurant.
Neon Signage: For 24/7 visibility, especially in winter or low-light conditions, illuminated neon signs ensure your brand doesn’t disappear after dark. They’re eye-catching, energy-efficient, and great for businesses that operate outside of standard hours!
Custom Signs: Going custom with signage means you can really bring your brand personality to life. This could be through textured panels, bold typography, or unconventional shapes that take your building from cookie-cutter style to a unique and original reflection of your business.
Selecting the right signage partner can make all the difference with your business signage - it’s a one-time investment, so you want to make sure you’re choosing the right provider for you. Here’s what to think about:
