The Power Of The Signage Consultant!
They Know The Industry Inside Out
Whether you’re in need of signage for a new facility, or considering signage for your stores, you probably have a pretty good idea of what you want, don’t you? But, just as you’d ask the maitre d’ which wine he’d recommend to go with the Creamy Tuscan Salmon, some things in life work better with advice from an expert.
When it comes to signs, your business needs a signage consultant.
Having an expert on your team brings you results. Expert knowledge and experience allows your consultant to turn ideas into projects, and projects into physical products. You end up with something that looks just as you imagined it – and works in your space.
Every industry has its jargon, and the signage industry is no different. Your consultant will know all the industry terms and technical jargon for things like 2D letters, 3D letters, types of illumination, different manufacturing methods, substrates, and all the acronyms that baffle you. They’ll be able to explain to you what’s going on, and recommend what’s best for your brand and location.
For example, your consultant will have an ear to the ground on planning consents. Did you know that there is a type of signage you can display which doesn’t need the planning authority’s specific consent? Your signage consultant did!
They Know The Potential Pitfalls
Your signage consultant will have been through many projects before, and faced many different challenges. You get the benefit of all this experience as it means they will know exactly which costly mistakes to avoid, getting your job right the first time.
As experts of signage they ensure that the right product is created for the right location. It’s the little things that make the difference; like anti-graffiti film in high-footfall areas (to make sure that it’s your brand people are seeing and not the latest tag). Or 316 grade stainless steel in coastal areas, because as great as sea salt is in your stews, it’s not good for brand awareness.
They Have The Resources
Connections are everything, and your signage consultant will know just who to call. They’ll know the right contractor for preliminary work, the right official to speak to in the planning department, and they’ll have them all on speed dial. All this saves you hours on the phone going round in bureaucratic circles battling with “Press 1 for…”
As well as knowing the right people, they’ll know how the different departments work. They’re usually part of a full-service signage company, and have worked with all these stakeholders many times before. You’re talking to someone who can pull precisely the right strings!
