London is full of businesses, from busy clothing shops selling high-end outfits to coffee shops refilling your mugs after a busy day at work. Rustic bars or luxurious restaurants, a brand-new shop in South London or an existing, well-known shop in the West; the City of London is full of different levels of success and experience. This highly saturated world of shopfronts whirring with customers and clients is never-ending, and more than ever, trying to find the ideal way to translate your image potential is ever important.  

But how can you make your business stand out? Better yet, how can our sign makers shine a spotlight on it? Illuminated retail signs take your run-of-the-mill, overhead, and business signage and enhance them. Take a 3D built-up letter sign, a highly effective marketing tool. It’s easy to recognise, creatively accessible and customisable. When the shop front closes up for the night and the Highstreet is lowly lit, it becomes much less effective and with large influxes of people travelling home after their 9-5, and shops closing their doors, you run the risk of getting lost in a busy crowd. 

Fear not! External sign lights are the answer. There are a variety of ways to illuminate potential clients to your business regardless of the time of day, acting as 24 advertisements. Illuminated 3D built-up letters work by placing LED lighting behind your letters, so they are invisible to the naked eye but add a subtle glow to your sign (also known as the halo effect). This doesn’t compromise on your signage customizability choices and can be personalised to any colour of your choosing, coming in plenty of materials.  

However, sign lights aren’t limited to subtlety; for example, we offer the option of flat-faced illuminated signage which illuminates your signage from the inside out to create a more impactful effect; perfect for those running a modern business looking to translate this from the customer’s first glance or an older business looking to rebrand its image. 

We recently worked with Marici to produce a Halo-illuminated built-up sign for their shop front. You can find our work at: https://yellowsigns.co.uk/3d-builtup-letters  

We understand that sometimes budget restrictions can get in the way of your options, but we still want to offer you the ability of around-the-clock marketing. That’s why we also offer LED trough lighting which can be placed virtually anywhere on a sign for fantastic illumination.

So, you’re running a business? Regardless of what you are selling, offering or performing, getting people in the door is vital. Attracting a collective of individuals into your business nearly secures those purchases. However, nothing is set in stone, and keeping people in the building afterwards is just as meaningful. Luckily there are plenty of ways for businesses to diversify themselves from the competition and get their business recognised.

Regardless of your business type, every company has a brand. From homegrown to upscale, there’s always a particular feeling you want your customers to feel when they are immersed in your business and an amazing way to shine a light on your business is through illuminated built-up signage solutions. Take your traditional interior built-up signage, maybe your business’s name or slogan, illuminated signage entails placing LED lighting in or around your chosen form of signage to add a ‘halo’ glow to your final product. This can be produced in a variety of colours and finishes to appeal to your brand image. 

Without realising, connotations mean everything to a consumer. What are you trying to portray? Using illuminated signage improves brand perception. The lighting shines brightly and offers your business a vibrancy it might be missing. Illuminated signage is also energy efficient for both external sign lights and internal sign lights. This is because LED lighting creates less heat than a conventional lightbulb, keeping your cost low in trying times, and allowing you to keep your shop shining for as long as you wish.

Let’s face it, we’ve all made our dreaded new year’s resolutions. For some, a promise to squeeze into that brand-new dress by next Christmas, for others, to become the designated driver instead of the designated drinker. Whatever it may be, chances are you have not stuck to them in the past years. As business owners, you can benefit from these promises we make to ourselves and use them to prop yourself up, with an added bonus to the consumers. So, with the Christmas dinner leftovers running out and the Christmas pounds hitting the best part of us, people begin setting aside some money for their memberships to the gym, so as a gym owner, it is time to strike!

How can you lock in those January memberships and keep people working out before the hype dies down? Signage and graphics are fantastic ways to bolster those bookings. One of our favourite products we often use in gym and exercise spaces is window frosting. Making your space a place your customers feel comfortable is paramount for the continuation of new memberships. For many of us, taking those steps into the gym could be the first time in a while we have, and the feeling of judgment can weigh heavily. A frosted glass window, also known as privacy frosting, tailors public views and creates a private space for your customers. This works by using frosted vinyl on your windows to frost over the view of your gym space without compromising on natural lighting for your gym selfies. To find out more about privacy frosting, visit: https://yellowsigns.co.uk/privacy-frosting

However, your gym space is not limited to your windows or externals alone. Your internals can receive a lot of benefits and you can profit from some cost-effective graphic options to highlight your business place. For newcomers that may be unfamiliar with your gym or the equipment inside it, it can be incredibly daunting figuring out where to pop your bags or if you are doing the right thing. Floor vinyl graphics are a great wayfinding solution for your gym needs. With endless colour and graphic options, including arrows, colour keys, or even directions to the changing room, the finer details prevent your January gym goers from taking the first door out.

For information on vinyl graphics, you can check out: https://yellowsigns.co.uk/cut-vinyl-graphics

Vinyl graphics can also be utilised on wall spaces to display essentially anything you are looking for. From inspirational quotes to motivate your members while they run off the treadmill to safety information in a post-Covid atmosphere, make your business the best it can be with fantastic business signage!
