Storefront Signage in Canada

Make Your Business Stand out with Professional Storefront Signs

In a sea of signs, it’s hard to stand out. Your storefront is the first thing your customers see and first impressions are everything. If it’s not done right, potential customers will keep on walking or drive past your store.

At National Neon Signs, we create custom storefront signs that use bold design to catch the eye. Between illuminated channel letters, cabinet signs and dimensional logos, we help your business get recognized wherever you are in Canada. A great sign is the best way to get customers in the door and ensure people recognize your brand.

What kind of business do you run? A retail shop, medical clinic or a service business? Either way, a professional storefront sign is your key to success. 

Why Your Business Can Benefit From a Custom Storefront Sign

Instant Brand Recognition

Make an immediate visual impact with a sign that helps customers identify your business from blocks away. Consistent, professional business signs help people remember your brand every time they pass by. 

Increased Foot Traffic

Good advertising brings more people into your business. Indoor and outdoor storefront signs turn those passing by into paying customers. In fact, studies find the right signage can increase foot traffic by up to 25%.

Credibility and Trust

When customers see a professional business sign, they identify you as an established, reliable business invested in quality. It helps give off a positive first impression and brings more customers inside.

24/7 Advertising

Digital ads and print marketing can only do so much. An illuminated sign or decals work around the clock to bring in business, even after dark. It’s a great way to expand your customer base no matter the time of day.

Custom Storefront Signage Options We Offer Across Canada

Creating the right storefront sign is essential. It represents your brand identity, but the right one for you will depend on your location, operating hours and budget. National Neon Signs is based in Calgary, but offers a wide range of business signage solutions across Canada:

Illuminated Channel Letters

Illuminated Channel Letters

Make your business pop with bold, three-dimensional illuminated channel letters. Each letter is made from durable aluminum and features an acrylic face and energy-efficient LED lighting. Your business will be visible any time of day or night. Plus you can see channel letters from far away and they are available in front-lit, back-lit (halo-lit) and combination lighting styles. Common applications include retail stores, restaurants, professional offices, medical clinics and financial institutions.

Non-Illuminated Letters & Logos

Non-Illuminated Letters & Logos

If you're only open during the day, non-illuminated dimensional letters and logos will work. They offer a clean, professional look without the expense of lighting. These custom signs are made of aluminum, acrylic or PVC and can be painted to match your brand's colours. Daytime-only businesses, professional services and upscale boutiques benefit from these signs.

cabinet sign

Cabinet Signs

Cabinet signs, sometimes called lightbox or box signs, have a rectangular enclosure with translucent faces that light up your brand message or logo. They are great because they offer maximum visibility no matter where your business is in Canada. You can even customize them with your own colors, graphics and sizes. These signs work best for gas stations, convenience stores, retail chains and quick-service.

Projecting Blade Signs

Projecting Blade Signs

Projecting blade signs are unique because they extend out of your building so pedestrians and vehicles can see it from both directions. When lit up, these double-sided businesses will bring customers through your door. Blade signs make the most sense for busy downtown areas, shopping districts and spaces where businesses need complete visibility.
