You’ve seen the diverse and interesting range of outdoor advertising solutions we have created for clients across California over the past few years. Use of great colours, eye catching imagery and ensuring it is printed to a high standard takes a significant step towards the perfect outdoor sign, but to be really impactful, the text you use must be right
Imagine driving past a sign for an event – it looks great and you want more information, but the banner is missing the name of the organiser, and the website address is so small it can’t be seen by the passing cars. Not effective as a campaign! So when planning an outdoor advertising campaign, copy counts!
Using the right words
When designing and printing outdoor media, whether this is City Light Pole Banners, Over The Street Banners, Building Banners or Parking Lot Banners, the text you use, size and style are vital. Your business name is probably the most important piece of information that you need to include alongside your contact details. If your potential customers don’t know who you are, how will they find out more? When it comes to text for signs, we would highly recommend you include:
- Your brand or business logo/name – A logo is most striking as this is recognizable
- Your contact details in a text size that can be easily seen from a distance
- For events include the date and time
- For promotional messages, keep copy succinct – It should say exactly what you are offering or promoting in the shortest, most impactful way. Text style should be large, an easy to read color and style on a background that does not make it appear unclear or confusing to the eye.
