When most people think of signage, they usually picture large, impressive shopfront signs. Perhaps they think of billboard advertisements. Maybe even street signs come to mind. Other types of signage are often forgotten about, in part because other signs are often more subtle. Wayfinding signs, reception signage, and smaller, more unobtrusive signs are literally all around us. Why the average consumer may not consider their importance, at John Hills, signs are our business, and we know how vital they are in so many capacities.
One instance when quality signs are sorely needed is a big event. No matter where an event is taking place, chances are, a large number of people will be in attendance. Signage is helpful in a variety of ways in such circumstances. Let’s take a closer look at how signs can make or break your event.
Telling People Where to Go
Big events can include a myriad of situations: weddings, graduations, festivals, business expositions, conventions, meetings, awards shows, competitions, university open houses, fundraisers, and much more. Such events are often held in large spaces. Events that require a lot of room will likely also require a great deal of organisation. Help promote that organisation with useful signage placed throughout the venue. Nothing can ruin an event like its participants not knowing where to go. Wayfinding signs can show attendees where the main events are, where they can park their vehicle, and even where the toilets are located.
Make a Splash
Not only are signs extremely useful during large events, but they can add a great deal of pizazz and atmosphere. Depending on the focus of the event, we can help provide your group with very creative and attractive signage. Celebrating a wedding or birthday? We can produce beautiful, colourful banners celebrating the happy couple or birthday girl or boy, or even create illuminated cut-out lettering in the bride and grooms’ initials. Banner stands, A frame signs, murals…the sky’s the limit. Signage should make a statement, and at John Hills, we’ll work closely with you to design memorable and attention-getting pieces to help make your event a success.
Temporary Signage? No Problem.
Sometime our clients express concern that event signage will be costly–especially considering that an event is probably short-lived. This is not the case. We specialise in creating signs for any and all occasion, and temporary signage is no different. We can suggest affordable materials that will be budget-friendly when planning your event costs. Inexpensive corflute signs can be ordered in bulk to spread the word about an event or to be used as wayfinding signs in the parking area. We’ll also help design multipurpose signage that can be beautiful and functional for your business or personal needs even after the event is over.
