99Signs, a leading sign company in New Jersey, recently partnered with Ixchel Bakery, a new Guatemalan bakery opening in Bardonia, NY. The bakery's owner, Chris, recognized the importance of a storefront sign to build brand awareness in the local community. This case study explores the challenges we faced, how we tackled them with our innovative solutions, and the outcome of our work. Through this detailed account, we highlight our commitment to serving our clients with exceptional channel letters in New Jersey, showcasing our expertise in delivering high-quality signs that meet regulatory requirements and exceed client expectations.
Opening a new bakery in Bardonia, NY, came with its unique set of challenges for Ixchel Bakery. Chris, the owner, needed a standout storefront sign to attract customers and establish a strong brand presence. However, there were several hurdles to overcome:
One of the significant challenges was meeting the town's regulatory requirements. The town mandated that all stores in the complex use channel letters that adhered to a specific style. This restriction meant that while Ixchel Bakery needed a unique and appealing sign, it also had to conform to the predetermined aesthetic guidelines of the complex.
Navigating the permitting process was another challenge. It required meticulous attention to detail and a thorough understanding of local codes and regulations. Coordinating with town officials to get the necessary approvals was crucial to ensure that the signage could be installed without any legal complications.
Proper illumination is crucial for the visibility and effectiveness of channel letter signage. Ensuring that the sign was adequately lit required coordination with a licensed electrician to set up the electrical connections. This step was essential to enhance the sign’s visibility, especially during nighttime.
The new signage needed to effectively communicate Ixchel Bakery's brand identity. This meant creating a design that was not only compliant with local regulations but also reflective of the bakery’s unique brand elements. Achieving this balance was crucial to ensure the sign attracted the desired customer base.
Interior signage, such as hanging directional signs, can elevate your customer experience. These signs improve efficiency and organization to foster positive feelings about your company.
99Signs approached this extensive project with a strategic plan, focusing on collaboration, regulatory compliance, and innovative design. Here’s how we tackled each challenge:
To ensure the signage met all local regulations, we worked closely with both the architect and town officials. This involved detailed consultations, submitting comprehensive plans, and securing the necessary permits. Our team’s extensive experience in handling such processes ensured smooth and efficient approval.
Proper illumination is crucial for channel letter signage. We referred Ixchel Bakery to a trusted electrician to handle the electrical setup. This partnership ensured that the sign would be brightly lit, enhancing visibility and attracting customers even after dark.
