The Economic Advantages of Awnings

Awnings. They’re everywhere. Stretching across street blocks, hanging over door frames, protecting patrons from the rain, and more. But when a business owner truly contemplates the prospects of installing a custom awning to their storefront, the price may seem to outweigh the possible benefits. Why install a structure of no use to anyone inside your office, or retail space? Wouldn’t it be more economically savvy to install a simple sign to the exterior and then invest more so on the interior space? While these are worthwhile inquiries, business owners sometimes lose sight of the plethora of advantages awning bring to your business when faced with the price. At SignIt we have years of experience not only installing and designing custom awnings, but witnessing the investment of an awning pay for itself in curb appeal, marketing, and customer attraction. 

Who, What, Wear, and When

It’s not always in the best taste to have an employee in a sandwich board marketing and handing out coupon on the city corner. You want your business to speak for itself, literally and figuratively. Installing a custom awning, especially in NYC, is a wonderful way to get your name out there and market what your business promotes. Custom awnings can, and should, include everything from name, logo, store hours, and contact information, giving those passing by a simple presentation of your business.

Charming Awnings for a Charming Business

An awning can do wonders for sprucing up the curb appeal of a business. As in many bustling cities, real estate goes fast, and often business owners must settle for a prime location despite less than ideal facade aesthetics. Awnings are the premier way to turn even the shabbiest exterior into something charming. Not only will your awning physically stand out in the crowd, but will work to attract more customers and help grow your business. With the world of colors and designs at your fingertips, a custom awning will help you actualize the vision of your business into the storefront you’ve always imagined.   

Tight on Space? Install Awnings

If you strive to build a restaurant akin to a chic Parisian café, we’re here to tell you, your dream can become a reality. While awnings do wonders for marketing a curb appeal, they can expand your space as well. NYC doesn’t have a track record for spacious real estate and having the option to offer outdoor seating allows for an airier and more welcoming environment. Despite a slight drizzle or hot summer day, an awning will shield customers, while allowing them to enjoy all your business has to offer right outside your front door.
