What is a Pylon Sign and Why Does My Business Need One?

Having the proper advertising signage for your business is an important factor of business marketing that you will need to consider. When signposting your business, especially aiming to direct potential customers to your business premises, signage is particularly important with the pylon sign being one of the most common choices. In this article, we will explore what exactly a pylon sign is and what the benefits of purchasing a pylon sign are for your business.

 

Explanation Of A Pylon Sign

A pylon sign is a sign that acts like a monument as it has extreme height compared to other signs. Pylon signs are typically fitted into the ground via a large metal pole, making them very secure. The sign itself can be reused and customized as you are able to insert new advertisement posters yourself, meaning that the pylon sign can last a business for up to 12 years if it is taken care of.

The pylon sign is designed to be distinctive and used for your business logos or key information as it will be visible for quite some distance and therefore is perfectly placed by a busy road. If you have several different businesses nearby, often each business pitches in for a pylon sign as there are various compartments for different advertising.

 

Benefits Of Pylon Signs

  • Pylon signs are eye-catching and visible from large distances

The reason that pylon signs are one of the most common signs available on the market for businesses is due to the visibility of the signs and how they are particularly eye-catching, especially in built-up areas or areas that are close to busy roads. The reason that pylon signs are very eye-catching is due to their height as they are able to tower over normal eye-level objects.  Many businesses add effects such as LED lighting to a pylon sign to make the sign stand out, especially at night time when visibility is lower.

  • Sharing with others

If you are looking for a sign that is low on budget, there are ways of creating top-quality signage without breaking the bank. Sharing a pylon sign with other local businesses is a fantastic way to keep the costs of the pylon sign down as you will be sharing the cost between the contributing businesses. It is also a fantastic way for a small business to have advertisements that are large and extremely visible.

  • One of the most durable signs

When picking out your signage for your business, you will want to make sure that the sign will last you for a long time and also keep your advertisement looking fresh to give a good presentation of your business. A pylon sign is one of the most durable signs on the market due to its height and the fact it is mounted on the ground. The pylon sign is made mainly from a mixture of metal and plastic, which both are water resistant and last well in extreme weather conditions.

  • Versatility

A pylon sign will allow you to be versatile with your advertisements. A pylon sign has an opening slot where you can replace your advertisement and update your signage as the season pass. This makes the pylon sign a good investment as it can be used how you would like and can be customized by the business itself. If you would like to put in multiple advertising signs at once, that is possible when purchasing a pylon sign as they have multiple advertisement slots.

  • Advertisement size

A pylon sign is one of the larger signs that you can go for as a business, with several different compartment slots readily available to be used. These compartment slots can be used for images and logos, allowing you to print your advertisements at a bigger high-quality size for all to see.

 

Which Business Should Get A Pylon Sign

There are lots of different signage options you can choose when you are looking at advertising your business. The type of sign that you choose will largely depend on what you want the sign to achieve and where your business is placed. We would advise that a pylon sign is perfect for businesses that are close to very busy roads or built-up areas. For example, shops placed in shopping plazas or retail estates are ideal places to use a pylon sign. Car dealerships and restaurants are the top two most common shops to use pylon signs when marketing their premises.

 

How Long Do Pylon Signs Last?

A pylon sign can last up to 12 years if they are properly cleaned and inspected during this time. If you notice that there is any damage to your pylon sign, you should have your pylon sign seen and repaired as quickly as possible so that the damage to your sign does not worsen meaning that the pylon sign may need to be replaced rather than repaired. When inspecting your sign you should look to see if there are any scratches or cracks in the plastic and check that it is securely fit into the ground and no part of the sign looks unhinged or not secure. Pylon signs can also begin to fade after 12 years due to harsh weather conditions.
