Effective retail signage is eye-catching, versatile, and reusable; each display needs to draw the attention of passersby and serve multiple functions to increase return on investment.
A-frame signs, also known as sidewalk, folding, or sandwich signs, are freestanding signs commonly placed outside of a building’s front door. This placement makes it easier for people to see, as it is sitting on the floor rather than plastered on the wall. They can also keep people updated on hours of operation, upcoming events, sales, and specials.
Depending on the sign chosen, messages on Design 4 A-frame displays can be easily updated. This ensures relevancy and long-term use.
