5 Advantages Of Using Pylon Sign For Your Business

Pylon signs are a favorite among businesses that want to be seen because they have a few advantages over other signage types. Pylon signs, in case you didn’t know, are those tall, freestanding signs that come in all shapes and sizes. Some are made to be seen by the cars speeding along highways, while others are a little shorter and made for the locals to spot above the trees or between other store signs.

Today we’re going to introduce you to 5 reasons why you should have a pylon sign for your business:

Cost-Effective Advertising

Requiring minimal maintenance and low energy needs, pylon signs are a wonderful way to advertise your business throughout the day and night. Since they are also constructed from durable materials—like aluminum, acrylic, and a reinforced pole and base—they will remain standing for many years. Since you only have to pay for installation once, they are cheaper than billboards and other forms of advertisement yet are going to be seen by more people because they don’t move.

Tupp Signs uses only the best materials to make pylon signs that are built to last. You won’t have to worry about colors fading from sun exposure or cracks in the acrylic face for a long time, so you get even more out of your investment.

Visible

One reason we recommend pylon signs is for their visibility. Pylon signs stand tall enough to be easily readable from 200 yards away or even farther. While visibility depends on the overall size of the pylon sign, it is a fantastic way to tell potential customers at a distance where you are and what you offer.

However, the height and size of pylon signs can also be a disadvantage when viewed from up close. Unless a person tips their head back, they won’t be able to see it. That is why pylon signs are supplementary in most cases and come second to the lightbox or channel letters above your storefront’s main door.

Versatile

Do you want a large sign or a small one? One pole or multiple? Perhaps your shopping center is shared by more than one business and you want to have a sign that has every business listed. Pylon signs make that easy. That is why many shopping plazas and malls utilize pylon signs over other types. Multiple businesses can be seen in one place, helping guide customers to where they want to go. This also saves a lot of space. Instead of having dozens of signs scattered around, you can just have one!

Lit or Unlit

Want a sign that is visible 24/7? Pylon signs can be built with or without internal lighting elements, similar to a cabinet sign. If you have a business that stays open late into the evening or runs all day and night, then an illuminated pylon sign is perfect. Even if you don’t have long hours, a lit pylon sign helps people notice your business around the clock, so they can always stop back later.

Don’t worry about an illuminated pylon sign costing you extra either. Tupp Signs builds our lit pylon signage with energy-efficient LED. The LED makes your sign look brilliant all hours throughout the day while using less energy than a traditional incandescent light bulb.

Fully Customizable

Pylon signs can be designed to fit your exact specifications. At Tupp Signs, we have designed, manufactured, and installed pylon signs of all kinds. You can select the size, color, fonts, graphics, and shapes used, as well as the number of poles you want, and whether you want an illuminated LED sign. You may even decide to integrate an electronic message center (EMC) into the pylon sign to display even more information.

Again, that is why pylon signs can be used for gas stations, fast food restaurants, banks, hair salons, bakeries, hotels, and much, much more.
