You have just opened a new store. The costs have been astronomical as far as getting your store stocked. You need to look at something a little less expensive than the great big lighted sign that you were going to put above the store. After all, you are in a mall anyway, so you don’t need it so people can see your store in the dark. One way to bring down costs, but still identify your store is to design custom vinyl stickers. Although the idea of designing something like that seems like a daunting task, it really can be easy. There are many websites that offer designing services as well as printing services. You can do more than just create the name of your company. You could use custom vinyl stickers in the shape of your logo, or other eye catching designs. Unlike the large sign, these custom vinyl stickers would be at eye level, and if done properly can be even more effective.
Custom window stickers made out of vinyl are very easy to use. As long as the surface is smooth and clean, you can place them almost anywhere. Plus they last years. Financially, they are certainly reasonable, and they look much more professional than you would think. You could keep it simple, and just have the name of the store on the glass, or you can be a little more creative. In any case, they are relatively inexpensive compared to buying a large, plastic sign.
Using custom window stickers can also help set the mood of your business. If your business is a gift store, you may want to change the store front in the mall to look like an old fashioned shop on a town square. You could use a white front wall, with windows, and then rather than the entire front of the store being how you get in, you could use white French doors. This way, the store will have a unique look compared to the rest of the mall, plus the window stickers would suit that type of store front much better. By using a sign budget to create a unique storefront and the window stickers, your store would stand out. Even using vinyl stickers on a piece of wood, you could create an old fashioned sign that hangs out, similar to what you would see on an old fashioned town square.
Just because it is something most stores are doing doesn’t mean that you have to follow the mold. If you use a little creativity to keep your look unique, it will go a long way. Not only that, with the mood you create with the store front, you can get away with prices being slightly higher than if you were set up like every other store. Changing something as small as your signage can create an entire new atmosphere for your store, and that can only generate excitement for your shoppers, and that translates into profits for you.
