Ensuring Longevity of Business Signs
Choosing the right sign for your business might feel like an overwhelming process– after all, you have to make sure you choose a type of sign that works for your business’s specific needs, brand voice, and location.
In addition to all that, there’s just one more factor that you might not have considered: longevity. Even the most perfect sign in the world won’t be a good investment if it doesn’t last for very long! All signs deteriorate over time due to weather, wear and tear, and other factors. Choosing the right one that will last as long as possible is very important to ensure a good return on your investment.
While no sign will last forever, there are some things you can do on a regular basis to ensure that your signs stick around and make your business look great for a long time to come.
Keep it clean
Regular cleaning is essential for maintaining the appearance of your sign. Dirt, debris, and other contaminants can accumulate on your sign, making it look dingy or faded.
To keep signs looking their very best, you should clean them regularly, using mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the surface of the sign and might even necessitate sign replacement much sooner than you think.
Inspect your signs
Simply inspecting your sign on a regular basis can help you catch signs of damage early on, which can prevent more significant issues further down the line.
While it couldn’t hurt to inspect your sign each time you clean it, you should make it a goal to inspect your sign at least once per year. Take some time to look closely for cracks, fading, peeling, or any other signs of wear and tear.
If you spot any issues, do your best to address them promptly– or contact your local sign professional to do so. Problems like cracks and peeling only get worse as time goes on, and could even become more costly to fix if you wait.
Pay attention to the weather
Depending on the area you live in, weather can have a significant impact on the lifespan of your signs. Rain, snow, and heat can accelerate sign fading and deterioration.
Consider using weather-resistant materials for your signs, like metal or plastic– used correctly, these materials can be durable and long-lasting.
You can also opt to use protective coatings, like UV-resistant or weather-resistant finishes and materials, to protect your signs from the elements.
