    Outdoor Signage: A Brief Introduction

    Outdoor signage is any sign installed on the exterior of your business or any outdoor location.

    These signs are responsible for giving your business a good first impression. They are the best way to display your company's name, logo, and other important information. The best part is that they can be customized to match your brand's identity.

    The most important factors to consider when choosing an outdoor sign are the space at your disposal, your budget, your communication goals, and the audience you want to target.

    Is PVC good for outdoor signs?

    A PVC sign's durability gives you long-term value when you invest in one. PVC signs are scratch and dent-resistant. They work well outdoors because they can withstand a lot of moisture. Constant exposure to both natural and artificial light won't fade the plastic's color because it retains it well.

    How long can an outdoor sign last?

    Outdoor signs are made to withstand inclement weather. The kind of sign and the material used will have a significant impact on how long they will last. For instance, properly hung vinyl banners can last for three years or longer. PVC signs typically last 5 to 7 years, whereas aluminum signs last 7 to 10 years.

    Signage, especially exterior signs, advertises your presence in the neighborhood. These give your brand a name and increase consumer familiarity with your company.

Being easily located and being remembered by the community means an increase in foot traffic and increase in sales and revenue.

    Can you put outdoor signs on public property in New Jersey?

    Yes, definitely. But unlike indoor signs that don’t need a permit these outdoor signs may need a permit first before you can install them. For New Jersey City, we follow the New Jersey City Construction Code. These rules specify the permitted sign's size, location, projection over the sidewalk, and illumination. They also specify who can apply for a sign permit and who can put up or take down a sign. Permit fees are typically charged by sign companies. Contact our team to learn more about signage permits.
