All There Is To Lobby Signage

By Rosella Campbell


Putting up a sign these days is a very important marketing strategy that has been able to reach out to so many people at once. When it comes to putting up a sign, the location is the most important factor to consider. Lobby signage for example has become very common these days thanks to the fact that lobbies are expected to be used by so many people in a single day. There are so many advantages that an organization can get from putting up their signs in lobbies apart from marketing alone.

When you walk through a lobby and happen to see a sign belonging to a certain company or organization, it is most likely that the organization exists within the premises or the building. Apart from this, you will know where to go when you need the services of the organization. This way, companies and organizations that choose to put up their signs in lobbies have much to gain.

When an organization or a company chooses to put its sign in the lobbies, it is very important that the sign executes its purpose. First of all, a sign should b able to attract the attention of people passing by. This means that is should be designed and decorated in such a way that one can easily notice it. This is in fact the main purpose of signs.

Most of the signs put in lobbies today have unique designs with the latest design including a lighting background. As we all know, light is likely to attract the attention of anyone. Decorating a sign using bright colors is another way of making sure that your sign is visible but you should always consider using colors that relate with the type of services available in your organization.

There was a time when bill board marketing was the most efficient marketing strategy. This made most organization to make bill board marketing their first priority. This made billboard marketing to be on high demand and companies that provided these services took advantage of the high demands and started charging high fees for their services. When it was discovered that lobbies could be used to advertise using signs, most organizations have switched to it since it is just as effective as billboards but less costly.

As much as any organization can chose to put its sign in all the lobbies in the world, it is very important to note that a sign can only be relevant when placed in a location where it is most likely to be relevant. For example, it will make sense if a bank places its sign in a hospital lobby but it will be irrelevant for a university putting up its sign in a hospital lobby.

Lobbies are a great place for you to advertise your business or organization as it is a sure way of reaching out to the public since lobbies are one of those places where you expect people to pass through as they go to their places of work or wherever.

One disadvantage of this marketing strategy just like any other marketing strategy is that even competing organizations can all apply it and the worst part is that all of them might end up using the same lobby.
