These are perfect for marking residential homes for sale.<\/li>\n<li><strong>H-Frame Stake:<\/strong>&nbsp;This is a light-weight H-shaped wire frame good for temporary signage. Think \u201cOpen House\u201d signs. The frame legs (stakes) poke into the ground, making it easy to set-up and remove.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frame:&nbsp;<\/strong> Frame style signs are made of sturdy, metal frames enclosing a sign. They\u2019re available in Standard (just one sign) and Single or Double Rider (including one or two extra smaller signs or \u201criders\u201d). These are another good option for lawn \u201cFor Sale\u201d signs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A-Frame:<\/strong> These portable \u201csandwich board\u201d style signs are great for drawing attention to an open house or another event. But, be careful \u2013 don\u2019t leave these easily mobile signs unattended or they may go missing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vinyl Window Cling:<\/strong> Vinyl window clings are a non-adhesive film that <em>clings<\/em> to window glass. These are a great option for commercial properties with large plate-glass windows.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Feather Flag.<\/strong> A feather flag is made up of a tall, flexible frame attached to a narrow fabric flag. The fabric is loose on one side allowing it to flutter in the breeze, making it an eye-catching signage option. You can print your content directly on the fabric flag.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each of these signage options offers unique dimensions and mediums on which to print. And, the amount of space available (and the shape of that space) will directly influence your sign\u2019s design layout.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Design Consideration: Branding<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If you don\u2019t feature your <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdspring.com\/logo-design\/\">company\u2019s logo<\/a><\/u> on your sign, the sign becomes worthless from a branding awareness perspective. Not only that, each state has specific legal requirements that signs feature certain information such as name, the name of the broker and more. <strong>Be sure to check your state&#8217;s department of business and professional regulation for more details.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Start by making sure that your most valuable visual branding tool\u2014your logo\u2014is featured prominently on your sign. For more on real estate logo design, read <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdspring.com\/blog\/real-estate-logo-design\/\">6 Unique Real Estate Logos That Can Help You Close The Sale<\/a><\/u>. Also, remember to use your brand colors on your signage to help create a consistent visual presence. This will help potential clients get to know and quickly recognize your real estate business.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-49785 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.realtrends.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2021\/01\/logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"5184\" height=\"3456\"><\/p>\n<p>Creating a consistent visual presence across all of your signage will help develop familiarity and trust between your business and your audience. For all the people who walk or drive past your signs, most of them are probably not looking to buy a house or lease a commercial space at that time. But, if you\u2019ve used your signage to create a consistent visual presence over the years, you\u2019ve planted a seed.<\/p>\n<p>When those same people find that they do want to purchase a home or rent a commercial space, they\u2019ll remember <em>your<\/em> business.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Design Consideration: Readability<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Signs are intended to communicate. Every design choice you make should support the sign\u2019s ability to communicate clearly. Your real estate open house sign, for example, won\u2019t attract visitors if they can\u2019t understand what it says.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Choose Fonts That Are Easy to Read<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Font choice is one of the most important elements of creating an effective and easy-to-read sign. Sign pairing easy-to-read font with elaborate script logo. Image courtesy of <u><a href=\"https:\/\/candysdirt.com\/2011\/10\/24\/hot-property-lydia-player-hot-number-moving-herself\/\">Candy\u2019s Dirt<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n<p>And, the rules for signage are different than in many other forms of graphic design. While you can get away with a fabulous script font (like the Ebby Halliday logo on the sign above) or funky serif typography in a logo, that won\u2019t work for regular sign copy.<\/p>\n<p>To be effective, signage must be easily read from a distance and from a moving car. Otherwise, your message won\u2019t reach a large portion of your audience.<\/p>\n<p>This applies to your <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdspring.com\/naming-a-business-or-product\/\">company name<\/a><\/u> and all other information on the sign \u2013 make sure everything is crisp and easily readable. For any non-logo text, aim for straight-forward serif and sans-serif fonts.<\/p>\n<p>Landmark Sign Group <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.landmarksign.com\/fonts\/\">recommends<\/a><\/u> these as their top five best signage fonts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Helvetica<\/li>\n<li>Garamond<\/li>\n<li>Trajan<\/li>\n<li>Futura<\/li>\n<li>Verdana<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These fonts (or others like them) can be paired with your logo to create a readable sign that clearly communicates your brand identity. That\u2019s the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n<p>For more on picking the right fonts for your business, <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdspring.com\/blog\/choosing-fonts-for-business\/\">Use These Powerful Psychology Strategies To Choose Fonts For Your Business<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Embrace White Space<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Elegant and readable sign with plenty of white space. Image courtesy of <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dmagazine.com\/home-garden\/2014\/11\/conversations-with-dave-perry-miller\/\">D Magazine<\/a><\/u>. White space is the area of a design that is left without lines, color, shapes or text. Put simply, it\u2019s the empty space. However, white space (which isn\u2019t always actually white) is a vital contributor to an overall design in terms of both aesthetics and readability.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Winter of IdentityPR <u><a href=\"https:\/\/identitypr.com\/public-relations\/marketing\/tips-on-how-to-create-effective-signage\/\">explains<\/a><\/u>: &#8220;The empty space surrounding text and graphics is just as important as other design considerations. There is a tendency to want to \u201cfill up\u201d the available area with as much copy as possible. But when text is crowded, it becomes harder to read. Thirty-to-forty percent of the sign\u2019s face area should be left as white space for optimal readability.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Aesthetically, leaving sufficient white space gives a design a feeling of ease and breathability. Don\u2019t jam too much copy on your signs. Be concise \u2013 tell your audience who you are and what you want. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Make Smart Color Choices<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The color choices you make for your signage have the power to make or break the design. Poor color choices can make a sign down-right illegible. But, smart color choices can make a sign a joy to read and stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s all about pairing your brand color (or colors) with contrasting colors that will make your sign pop. Always start with your most prominent brand color. From there, check out the color contrast guide included in <u><a href=\"https:\/\/identitypr.com\/public-relations\/marketing\/tips-on-how-to-create-effective-signage\/\">this article<\/a><\/u> to see which color combinations are most legible according to the Outdoor Advertising Association of America.<\/p>\n<p>Your signs are one of your most valuable advertising tools. It\u2019s important that they make a strong impression for your brand.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Author Bio : Katie Lundin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Katie Lundin is on the customer support team at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdspring.com\/\">crowdspring<\/a>,&nbsp;one of the world\u2019s leading marketplaces for crowdsourced logo design, web design, graphic design, product design, and company naming services.
