Is your old, damaged or dirty signage deterring potential customers? Find out in this blog from visual communication experts, FASTSIGNS® Leeds.
When you manage or own a business, it’s likely that you see your external signage multiple times a week – or day even. You’re used to it by now. But first impressions are everything and countless people pass by your signage for the first time every day, making split-second assumptions about your business.
Take a second and consider; is your signage old and tired? Does it still represent your business? Could it be off-putting to new customers? To help you make an honest assessment, read our five reasons why you may need a signage spring clean:
- Dirty signage
Although you might not notice it, a steady build-up of dirt and grime will leave your external signage – and by association your business – looking old and tired. A bucket of hot water and cleaning liquid along with a good scrub should suffice.
If you can’t safely reach your signage or you find that your cleaning reveals a multitude of hidden sins, get in touch with our team, who will be able to come out to assess your current signs and quote for any repairs or replacements.
- Damaged or broken signage
Following a good old British winter, heavy wind and rain may have damaged or dislodged your signage. Aside from looking a bit disordered, damaged signage could cause an accident. We are happy to conduct a site visit to assess any broken on problematic signage and recommend a solution. Find out more.

- Old and dated signage
A long-standing business is a trusted one and if your name is known within – and beyond – the local area then that’s something to celebrate. Replacing an old and dated exterior with fresh, new signage is a way of acknowledging your achievements thus far, and celebrating what’s to come.
- Rebranding
If your business has grown or moved in new direction since you had your original signs installed, it’s probably time to rebrand them. Your business’s exterior will influence a new customer’s decision to do business with you, so your signage should reflect the quality and substance of your offering.
- Incorrect signage
Maybe someone has left the business, or your telephone number has changed? Perhaps you have a new website? They may seem like trivial amendments, but are they worth losing new business over? Get them changed! It will beneficial in the long run.
