Yearning for an Awning? - Signs & More

In “Days of Old,” awnings were the mainstay of window dressing. Although, back then, they were not thought of as being a form of advertising or branding since printing on them had not been available. Now with modern large format printing anything is possible.

Awnings add a great look to the strip mall or stand alone shop. Many small towns have utilized the awning as a means of creating a look that is retro and gives one a fee of stepping back in time. Yet with today’s technology and, mixed with youthful imagination and a few printing tricks, we see many awnings that are quite stunning and eye catching. 

Tasteful Storefront Awning - Catches your Eye

Some things to consider before budgeting for your new look.

1. Local municipal ordinance. Are you allowed by your local code?
2. Landlord, property owner. Will the awning fit into the owner’s designs?
3. Installation. Awnings are custom fit.
4. Size. Determine how large or small the awning should be. Consider what it is going over, how the size ratio looks and is there enough space to effectively show your logo/brand.
5. Shape. Is there enough area on the “front” of the awning to show your message? Some awnings have flat, angled or curved fronts that show good height text, others don’t.
6. Adjoining buildings. Do they have awnings?  Must yours conform to theirs?
7. Cost. Since all awnings are custom, expect to pay for custom work.

Awnings, when placed properly, add a beautiful look to any store front. They also provide that extra space for your logo/brand. The look can be retro or ultra modern. Helping you decide what look you prefer is where Signs & More, Inc. (770-383-8808) can change your yearning into an awning.
