Storefront Signs in Goleta

Storefront signs are essential as they are the first point of contact with potential customers.

They contribute to brand awareness, attracting foot traffic, and influencing purchasing decisions.

Studies show that a significant percentage of consumers make their first visit and purchase based on the appeal of the storefront sign.

“The survey found that almost eight in 10 (76 percent) American consumers enter a store they have never visited before based on its signs, and nearly seven in 10 (68 percent) have actually purchased a product or service because a sign caught their eye. A small business’ sign can also be an influential word-of-mouth marketing tool, with three out of four consumers saying they have told someone about a store based simply on its signage.” – FedEx Office Survey: Standout Signs Contribute to Sales

Here are a few Goleta signs we did for storefronts.
