Let's Get Creative
When it comes to making your properties stand out, visibility is everything. Whether you’re a real estate agent selling a house or a property manager handling several commercial vacancies, ensuring your listing grabs attention can help you achieve a quick sale.
Potential buyers and renters often make their first judgments based on what they see. Eye-catching signage, well-lit building exteriors and creatively designed promotional materials can dramatically increase the likelihood of attracting your target audience to your property. But beyond aesthetics, effective visual communications also streamline navigation and enhance the overall experience of your target audience.
How can you enhance your property marketing? Here’s a few insider tips:
Design Attention-Grabbing Signage
From simple yard signs to large monument signage, quality and consistency are paramount. Here’s some design strategies you should consider:
-
Clear, easy to read fonts like a bold sans-serif ensures readability, especially at a distance. Overly decorative typefaces can be difficult to parse from afar, and you should want your audience to be able to see your message while driving past.
-
Contrast helps your brand pop that much more. When designing signs, use a high-contrast color combo like white on black, or yellow on dark blue, to help visibility.
-
Illumination on your signs, especially your exterior signage, keeps you seen no matter what time of day it is. A bold outdoor sign with good lighting is a great visual anchor for any property.
-
Branding should be consistent, whether it’s for your property or for the company handling it. Inconsistent brand presence can cause confusion among your audience and make you less likely to be remembered.
Highlight Your Property’s Unique Features
Gone are the days of just saying “three bedrooms, two baths.” Instead, make your property unforgettable by showcasing its distinct features. Make sure you’re using professional, high-resolution photos in any signage or marketing promoting your property; blurry, pixelated or poorly framed photographs aren’t going to serve your needs.
If your sign size permits, try to highlight some of the benefits or main features of the property. Does your apartment complex feature a pool and a fitness center? Is your commercial property recently renovated? Does the house you’re listing feature unique historic charm? Focus on what makes your properties stand out by showcasing something that would be a hook to a potential tenant.
Leverage the Right Products
Choosing the right sign for your situation is key. Here’s a few options you’ll want to think about:
-
Monument & Entrance Signs: Ensure properties are easily identifiable with bold, well-lit designs.
-
Wayfinding & Directional Signs: Help visitors navigate your space with clear, branded signage.
-
Window & Floor Graphics: Eye-catching visuals highlight amenities and special promotions.
-
Illuminated & Digital Displays: LED and digital signs can stand out, especially in high-traffic areas.
-
Interactive Signs: Add QR codes to signs that direct prospects to virtual tours, leasing information or promotions.
-
Temporary Event Signage: Use banners and pop-up displays at leasing events, open houses or to highlight limited deals.
-
Vehicle Wraps & Graphics: Turn company vehicles into mobile advertisements for your business.
-
Sidewalk Graphics: Guide visitors directly to you with engaging wayfinding or promotional messages.
-
