Business signage is one of the most effective and affordable ways to attract attention, build brand recognition and drive foot traffic for local Australian businesses.
Signage no longer means investing only in large billboards. Today, businesses can choose from a wide range of flexible, cost-effective signage options that work across shopfronts, interiors, events and vehicles.
This guide explores the most common types of business signage, how they’re used, and how to choose the right combination for your business goals.
Why Business Signage?
Well-designed signage helps your business stand out in busy environments and communicates information straight away. From promoting sales to reinforcing your brand identity, signage works around the clock to support your marketing.
- Increase visibility in your local area
- Attract walk-in customers
- Reinforce professionalism and credibility
- Promote offers, events and services
- Strengthen brand recognition
Window Signs
Window signs and decals transform glass surfaces into high-impact advertising space. They are ideal for shopfronts, offices and street-facing locations. A great idea for:
- Display logos and branding
- Promote sales and seasonal campaigns
- Show opening hours and contact details
- Improve street appeal
Custom window decals are printed in vibrant colours and tailored to your branding, helping attract passers-by and convert foot traffic into customers.
Posters
Posters are a simple yet powerful way to promote products, services and events within your local area. Use posters for:
- Local promotions and events
- In-store advertising
- Community noticeboards
- Directional or informational signage
With professional design, clear messaging and strategic placement, posters remain one of the most cost-effective signage solutions for small and medium businesses.
Retail Signage
Retail signage and point-of-sale (POS) displays play a critical role once customers are inside your business. This helps to:
- Highlight promotions and offers
- Guide purchasing decisions
- Showcase products and services
- Reinforce brand messaging
Placing signage near counters, shelves and checkout areas can influence buying behaviour.
A-Frames
A-frame signs, also known as sandwich boards, are a popular signage choice for businesses with street frontage. A-frame signage is ideal for:
- Cafés, restaurants and takeaway venues
- Retail stores and salons
- Real estate agencies
- Temporary promotions or daily specials
Posters are portable, double-sided, and easy to update. They are perfect for businesses that need flexibility without permanent installation.
Floor Decals
Floor graphics are a creative way to use interior space for branding and communication.
- Guide foot traffic
- Promote products or campaigns
- Enhance in-store experiences
- Support exhibitions and trade shows
Printed on durable, slip-resistant materials, floor graphics are designed to withstand heavy foot traffic while maintaining visual impact.
Vehicle Decals and Magnets
Vehicle signage turns your car, van or fleet into a moving advertisement:
- Trades and service businesses
- Delivery vehicles
- Mobile service providers
- Local brand awareness
Printed on weatherproof, UV-resistant materials, vehicle signage promotes your business wherever you drive
or park.
Complement this with business cards, custom stickers, and digital marketing options.
Choosing Business Signage
The most effective signage strategies often combine multiple signage types to maximise visibility and reach.
Think about:
- Location: shopfront, street, interior or mobile
- Audience: foot traffic, passing vehicles or in-store customers
- Message: branding, promotions, information or wayfinding
- Budget: short-term campaigns versus long-term signage
Good signage reflects your brand, supports your marketing goals and suits how customers interact with your business.
