You heard a heartbreaking story about a tragic loss because an unconscious parent couldn’t notify fire fighters that there was a child in the home, and it made you think about the safety of your children and pets. What if you weren’t home when the house caught fire? What if you were knocked out like the mom with the child who died in the fire? You need a way to make sure this never happens to the people and pets you love, but how?

The answer is actually quite simple. What you need is a sign that announces that there are pets or children inside.

 

• Make a window sign that says “Baby on Board” that can be ordered without any alterations and applied to a front window or to the glass of the front door.
• If you have several children or your baby insists he or she is not a baby anymore, take a look at some of the many child care designs. You can customize one of them with your message that your children may be inside.
• For your four-legged family members, there are several pet designs that can easily be altered to announce that there are two dogs and a cat inside in need of assistance.

 

You love your restaurant. You love your customers. You love your food. What you don’t love is the huge book of regulations about signage your town so vigilantly enforces. It took you six months to get them to reluctantly allow you to put a sign on the restaurant’s facade and the sign cost a fortune because it had to be a reproduction piece that fit the era your building was constructed in. When you hauled out your daily specials sidewalk sign, you didn’t expect additional problems, though. It was only temporary and went back inside each evening as you closed up. Unfortunately, you were wrong. The town nixed the sign. Now how do you announce your weekly themed specials, like the Italian Wednesday night dinner buffet or your Thursday half price sandwich sale?

Restaurant window signs are ideal for advertising reoccurring specials, especially in historic areas, where getting permits for signage is a challenge. Since you will be using the same specials week after week, your expense is very minimal. To successfully design your signs, you should:

 

• Utilize the ability to have see-through areas in your signs. This option can help windows look uncluttered and will still allow people to glance into the restaurant.
• Consider using a font design that matches your buildings era for part of the text to make the signage seem like it really belongs.

 

As you pull up in front of your shop, your eye is immediately drawn to the cardboard store hour sign with its hand lettered numbers. While it is written neatly, it definitely is not very professional looking. You need to do something right away to upgrade your store’s curb appeal, but you aren’t quite sure what. You certainly don’t like those plastic signs where you fill in the hours with a marker any better than your sign and you can’t figure out how to hang a wooden, hand painted sign in the glass window.

Window signs can be customized with the store name, a related image and the hours to provide a very professional looking and easy to read sign option. Installation is incredibly simple. You just need to be sure the window is clean, decide where you want the sign to be located and stick it into place. As you put the sign on the window, be sure you apply it so that it is straight and doesn’t have bubbles of air between it and the glass. If it is crooked, simply peel it back off and reapply it until it is straight.
