Accessibility


Once inside, there are a few different things to consider, the first of these concerns being informational signage. Informational signage may also be known as departmental, directional, organizational, or wayfinding signage. These signs help the customer navigate your space more easily. The easier it is for a customer to find what they came in for, the more likely they are to rely on that convenience in the future. Wall decals, hanging signs, shelf markers – the choices of which are nearly endless, play more than one important role in your business. Not only do they make the experience for your customers easier and more pleasant, but once you start putting up informational signage, it becomes clear to you if your store is arranged in an orderly fashion, I.E. it benefits you organizationally. While speaking on wayfinding signage, it’s important to note that Central Graphics is also capable of helping your business be entirely ADA compliant. Making customers feel welcome means all customers. Offering accessibility by way of parking, entrances/exits, restrooms, cashier stations, fitting rooms, and elevators will make disabled patrons’ experience more comfortable and enjoyable. If your location offers accessible features but doesn’t make them known, you’re doing your customers a serious disservice.


Product Value, Brand Awareness, Improved Sales


Lastly, we cannot forget persuasive signage, or sales signage. Sales tags, banners, product displays, poster inserts; all these signs can advertise a particular product or promotion. Persuasive signs or displays can also influence customer flow and improve interactivity with otherwise unnoticed products, showcase a particular type of product, or offer an opportunity for retailers to communicate specific details of new, seasonal, or featured items. These displays can turn an otherwise ordinary product into a popular “hidden gem.” Effective persuasive messaging can also create a higher perceived value for products, increase brand awareness, and improve retail sales.
