General Signage - Cost Saving Tips from Architectural Signs Sydney

These are difficult times for businesses. You and your customers are struggling with inflation, increasing energy costs and tight credit.

Each additional expense should be considered carefully to be sure it will offer the return you need.

It's good PR for you to be thinking about ways you can save money for your clients in a time when all costs are under the microscope.

Some cost saving ideas;

1. Research signage that works well for your industry e.g. stainless steel for modern buildings, older materials for heritage buildings.

2. Design signage which highlights your branding and company image professionally and consistently.

3. Look for materials and methods which are longer lasting e.g. engraving rather than printing, paint filled, aluminium.
(Ask your supplier about different methods and materials. This can add about 4-5 yrs of usage)

4. Coating and protection for outdoor signage is important for durability.

5. Plan for your signage in advance and combine a few projects at once to receive economies and cost savings.
(This can also save on expensive freight and urgent project rush rates)

6. Budget for good quality signage which will eliminate replacing your signage more regularly.

7. Work with signage companies who provide a variety of your needs under the one roof e.g. Engraving, printing, braille.

8. Ask for any current specials (e.g. crystal awards from U.S.) and product samples.

9. A variety of pricing or quoting options can also provide you with long term savings.

10. Visit companies/showroom and ask about other examples before deciding on your final signage.
