The right signage can transform your business. To get the most out of your outdoor sign, you need to choose designs and materials that work in Victoria. We can help. 

Why Custom Outdoor Signs Help Your Business Stand Out In Victoria

Think of all of the businesses you’ve been to in your life; chances are, most of them had their names and logos prominently displayed above their entrances. Outdoor signage helps people who are looking for your business find it and also attracts new customers to your business, even if they weren’t looking for it!

There are all kinds of different types of outdoor signage, from the big channel letters and logos you see on box stores to small A-frame signs you can use to advertise your business to pedestrians. The type of signage you’ll choose will depend on your goals, but outdoor signage is a good idea for almost every business. 

Choosing The Best Materials For Outdoor Signage In Victoria

There are two major risks to outdoor signage in Victoria: Salt and moisture. We get a lot of rain, and our proximity to the ocean means increased salinity in the air. For these reasons, signs made out of moisture-resistant polymers are an excellent choice. You can also opt for signs made out of hardwood or engineered wood, as long as they are sealed with the right stains or paints.

For metallic signs, opting for stainless steel or high-quality aluminum signage can give you the durability you need to withstand the wind, rain, and salt in Victoria. 

Design Tips To Maximize Visibility And Durability

In most cases, signage should be incredibly simple: Two or three colours, one image, and a clear call-to-action. This can be as simple as channel letters spelling out the name of your business along with your logo, but the practice is good for A-frame signs, monument signs, and outdoor signage of all kinds.

LED signs are also a great choice in Victoria; they can help your business outshine the competition at night and when the sky is overcast. 

As we discussed above, creating eye-catching signage is only part of the equation; to withstand the weather conditions here in Victoria, you’ll also want to build your signs out of high-quality materials. We also recommend cleaning your signage regularly!
