Epic Signs & Graphics Blog

As a business owner myself, I do understand there are a lot of unknowns right now concerning how to plan for the immediate future.

As part of the future, Epic Signs & Graphics can help business prepare for the future with signs and  graphics projects. It is a good time orient your branding to support your new plans.

Interior Signs

Employees and clients will need to return to facilities in most cases.

When considering updating your interior business areas, consider lighting as an option. Be aware, however, we need to plan for power in order to get the LED's to actually light up! Not a lot of power, but never the less, it takes electricity, and usually on a switch too!

A halo illuminated LED glow emanating from the back of the letter adds a nice touch to interior wall letters. The problem is, many people forget to plan for that little important detail. In addition, the trick to making this type of sign work is to hide the wiring. In fact the industry has matured to the point that it is expected we provide lights almost magically. When people observe a beautiful sign on a wall with a nice halo around the letters, it is forgotten what it took to make it happen. Not only do we need to get power to the sign location, we need to power every letter. And they all need to be protected with a power supply in the loop....and we need to go through walls! Or at least an electrician does.

This is where Epic Signs & Graphics comes in handy. We have various solutions to make your logo and/or letters look special.

Wall mounted letters

In order to make it look like the logo or letters are "floating" on the wall, we will need to have wires coming out directly behind the symbol. Most of the time we do not have that luxury, so if we can locate a source of power nearby in the ceiling, it could be pulled down through the wall to the right location. That takes a bit of luck and determination and skill because usually there are many things in the way such as insulation or or interior wall framing.

Pan or shoe box sign?

I've encountered a couple different terms in the industry using either one of these names. It is a way to make a sign usually out of metal. that is bent on every side to create a sort of wall around each edge. When turned over, it resembles a frying pan. We used that trick for a manufacturing company called Hamrick. We arrived on site with a totally custom pre-assembled sign so all we had to do was mount angle iron to the wall and screw the pan to the angle iron. In this case, the electrical outlet was already in place, so all we had to do was plug in the sign and mount our sign.

These are just a couple little tricks Epic Signs & Graphics has used to help clients get their indoor space to look, well...Epic. So give us a call for advice and plans to get your place lit up!

Choosing a sign company to help you with a large interior graphics project is an important decision and it may be hard to find a reliable company. We know of one! We recently produced and installed several wall murals and dimensional graphics at Pediatric Dentistry and the results speak for it's self. Evaluate on these 4 Factors.

Consultative?

It begins with the first meeting. Your provider should listen and understand what you are looking for while considering budget, colors and your style. They should understand your business goals and what your trying to communicate to your audience. If they are not asking questions then....

Design capability?

If your sales person is not providing a look at materials, looking over color options and generally guiding you to a decision, then you may need to look around for another company. If they have not provided feedback about suggested images, how it will print on various medias, type of finish, then.....

Service?

Is your sign company providing updates as the process moves along? Are they upfront if they are behind schedule or if they think time lines do not allow them to produce on time? In other words, honest. If you feel lonely along the way, then.....

Install?

Did the installer show up on time? Did they know the details of the job? Did they review the plan with you? Did the sign company call ahead before install day to confirm? When you are evaluating sign companies and they do not respond well to this type of service, then....

Then call Epic Signs & graphics! If you truly want a service oriented experience with a consultative approach, one that provides superior service and high quality printing and expert installation, than look no further than Epic Signs & Graphics!

Are you looking for a cost-effective marketing method that gets maximum visibility?

If yes, then car wraps are a good choice. However, going for a full car wrap can prove to be pretty expensive. One alternative to full vehicle wraps that are as effective as them but cost-friendly are partial vehicle wraps. You will get great visibility of your marketing campaign while at the same time save money that you would have spent on full vehicle wraps. In short, a partial vehicle wrap is an excellent choice. Both small companies and large corporations use these partial wraps to create a professional marketing look and convey a great marketing message.

Here are some economic benefits of using partial wraps.

1. Less Vinyl

First things first, the biggest financial advantage of partial wraps is the fact that it uses lesser vinyl material. A partial wrap only covers between 25-75% of the painted surface of the vehicle. Using high-performance vinyl for vehicles can be very expensive. Therefore, you will save money if you use less vinyl.

2. Shorter Installation Time

Another benefit of using partial wraps is that it takes less time for them to be installed as compared to full wraps. Full vehicle wraps require detailed work. The installers have to work around curves and remove hardware or trim around door handles, headlights, front and rear of the vehicle. This is thorough work and takes a lot of time and effort. The installation time increases for a full vehicle wrap.

Partial wraps, on the other hand,does not require as much detailed work simply because there are less obstacles. Because of this the process is comparatively simpler and less time-taking as compared to full vehicle wraps. Thus, choosing a partial wrap over a full vehicle wrap can be a great decision.

3. Saves Money on Fleet Advertising

If you are looking for a smart and cost-effective solution for fleet advertising, then partial wraps are the way to go. You need to approve the design of the wrap and simply get it through to production and installation. All of this can be done by a simplified process which will not only save you time and effort but also money. Therefore, partial wraps are preferred by companies that are looking for smart fleet advertising solutions.

Every major city in the world has plenty of stories to tell and signs to share. From every person walking on the streets, to every sign hanging on the corner, there are countless stories forming what we know as the metropolis of today.

As it has been quoted in the 1948 film, Naked City, people have over eight million stories to share in the Naked City. And roughly 10 times as many signs. Billboards, banners, signage, neon letters, blinking LEDS and giant letters, they are literally everywhere. In fact, Times Square is famous because of the very signs that make it the hub for advertising. Visit the place and you’d find as many humans as signs. Besides separate billboards, buildings with tall structures also happen to be a good camping ground for signs.

In this hubbub of signs, there is very little room for error when it comes to designing your own external signs. You have one chance to swing with all your might, and hope that the sign achieves the end results. Here we discuss some of the Do’s and Don’ts of a good external sign, which you should follow for your next campaign.

Don’t Design a Generic Sign

In all this competition, glitter and glamour, you don’t want your sign to be a basic and generic version of what you’re selling. External marketing is all about adding oomph to your brand. Try to come up with an innovative idea that stands out rather than being just another sign on the corner. Make people want to stop what they are doing and click pictures of your sign for being different. A simple ‘we are the best hotel’ sign won’t work anymore.

Do Sell Your Brand

By stepping out of the generic idea we don’t want you to stop selling your brand. Your major priority should still be to sell your brand in the best manner possible. You cannot slack off when it comes to selling your brand. Try to be innovative with the idea and find your Unique Selling Point or USP before you get the sign up live. We see a lot of brands err over this, as they forget just how important it is to sell, rather than just inform.

Do for Quality

This is something that you should follow religiously. No one likes a brand sign with LED lights not blinking or the dimensional lettering coming off. This will end up damaging your reputation. Hence, whenever you go out with your new sign, make sure there is no compromise on the quality of materials used.

Don’t go for too much Information

Imagine your sign is placed on the side of a tall building overlooking the road. Your main audience would be the drivers passing below. How much time would these drivers have to glance at your board? A split second or a couple of seconds most? They won’t have the time to read an elongated message, so don’t make them go through this hassle. Keep the message short and deliver your information without any hassle.

The world of advertising has grown exponentially and can be seen expanding across new horizons. In today’s world, you’re bombarded with various advertisements and marketing efforts daily. These advertisements are thrown at you in the form of billboards, internet ads, and video ads. Businesses are always looking for new means of effective advertisement as they want to catch the user’s attention and be present where the customers are.

The success of an advertisement strategy is measured through the results generated through it and how effective it was in engaging users. Businesses need to consider a number of factors when deciding their advertisement campaign.

However, while there are numerous checks in place, one method of advertisement that should be at the top of the list for consideration for all ad strategies is vehicle wraps. Vehicle wraps give advertisers a low-cost method to flaunt their campaigns on moving vehicles.

Here are some of the benefits of vehicle wraps.

Attention Grabber

We have grown so accustomed to seeing the traditional car colors on the road that anything out of the ordinary catches our eye almost instantly. Why are drivers able to locate ambulances or school vehicles so easily? Because they have a unique exterior color and design, as compared to other vehicles!

Thus, when you display your message or advertisement on the exterior of a car, you are sure to turn many heads and get the attention of several people on the road. Even if you’re not able to witness a significant increase in your sales, you surely would see positive results for your brand awareness.

Interruption Free

What happens when you display your ad during the forced break in between a YouTube show or a football game? Your customers may associate their dissatisfaction at the interruption with your brand. You do not want this type of negative rapport for your brand.

Hence, the right way forward is to go for vehicle wraps because they offer an interruption-free method of advertising. You wouldn’t have to interrupt people and you can display your add without any disruption as such.

Cost-Effective

Advertising through vehicle decal is effect for most brands when it comes to cost. Not every brand has the kind of cash to splash on expensive internet and television marketing in this era. Advertisement rates have skyrocketed of late, and even though vehicle decals can be costly, they happen to be lot more cost-effective in comparison to other options.

The one-time cost you have to bear will soon be compensated through the awareness and selling opportunities you create for yourself.

If you need the best vehicle decals and lettering, then you should contact the best graphics company in Ohio to help you out.

The modern workplace is all about giving employees the best possible environment to work in. Finding and keeping quality employees is difficult. So that means ergonomics are at an all-time high, and managers are experimenting with various strategies to keep the employees comfortable and motivated at work.

So, if your office walls are dull, or maybe they have not been updated yet, then it is time for you to consider a complete makeover. Because employee productivity is best seen when they work inside an office space that helps them remain creative and at their best at all times. We realize that not everyone is intrinsically motivated, which is why they have to look for external motivators. The murals on your wall can provide this motivation in the form of creative and well-designed office space. Below are some of the ways wall murals can boost confidence and motivation in employees.

Reduce Gloom

Your wall design and color may be responsible for inducing the typical doom and gloom that we associate with workplaces around us. The bland gray, white, and beige office walls probably do not inspire employees.The impact of colors on our mood is hidden from none, additionally, the colors around us can dictate our efficiency and productivity levels. Employees surrounded by brighter and more radiant colors happen to remain more productive in the workplace than others. The right color coordination and hues can increase the overall output. If that is the case, then why not wall graphics?

Promote Company Culture

You can promote company culture through wall murals and make your workplace a more interesting and cool place to be at. Besides writing the company mission and vision across the office walls, you can also add motivational quotes for teamwork and confidence. 

Your employees should be made to realize the company culture, and the walls should positively reinforce this at all times. The walls don’t have ears, but they surely can speak the message you want them to. Besides having removable wall murals for company events or occasions, you can also have permanent murals to boost competitiveness and confidence in employees.

Aid Recruitment and On-Boarding Processes

Imagine discussing your workplace in front of a new hire, only for them to see bland walls and grey sheets. New recruits will be pleasantly surprised when they see wall murals and aesthetically enhanced walls around the workplace.
