Retail Store Signs, Inside and Out

Retail signs have to do three jobs: get shoppers to notice the store, give them a reason to walk in, and guide them once they’re inside. That usually means a lit building sign, window graphics that change with the season, and in-store graphics and posters.

What matters

What Retail Stores Need From Their Signs

  • Stand out in the center. In a strip center or mall, your building sign competes with every neighbor. Lit channel letters keep your name visible day and night.
  • Windows that sell. Seasonal window graphics, sale messages and product photos turn the glass into advertising.
  • Guide shoppers inside. Floor graphics, posters and banner stands point shoppers to departments, promotions and the checkout.
  • Sales and events. Banners and flags announce sales, openings and new arrivals for a few weeks at a time.

Planning tips

Sizing and Visibility Tips

Keep the building sign simple: name and, if needed, one line on what you sell. Put details such as sales, hours and brands in the windows, where people read them up close.

Plan window graphics for change. Removable clings and window perf are easy to replace each season; leave clear sightlines to your best displays.

Floor graphics must suit the floor and traffic; choose a floor-rated material for high-traffic aisles.

Who installs it? We build, test and ship your sign. A licensed sign installer or electrician near you mounts and connects it with the included wiring diagram and install pattern. See how sign permits work and our state guides.
