A Truly Grand Opening
So, you’ve got your business plan, your financing and your legal details all worked out. You’ve found the perfect location, negotiated your lease, and got your permits. You’ve spent weeks cleaning, painting, wiring, building, installing technology. Your Help Wanted signs are up. Congratulations! You are ready to welcome your first customers, or clients, or tenants.
Or are you? How will they find you? How will they know who you are?
One word: SIGNS! Okay two words: GORGEOUS SIGNS!
START WITH A PLAN
One bright morning our email box dinged with the arrival of a message from a local dentist’s office, Kiddsmiles. They were opening a new location in Port Jefferson Station and needed to alert the neighborhood that they were on their way. After a brief discussion about what kind of signage they had at their other locations, we came back to them with a proposal.
We started with large “coming soon” banners on the traffic-facing walls to build interest. Once we had design approval for the permanent signs we clarified the local sign ordinances, filed all the permits, agreed on a schedule, and in a few short weeks after we received the permits the new signs were up for all to see.

Bright, colorful channel letters are perfect for this pediatric dental office, with a small supplemental lightbox below
Yes, SIGNS plural. Because in this area we were allowed to place a striking channel letter sign with coordinating lightbox on the main building elevation, with another TWO lightboxes facing different traffic flows on other building faces. And not least, we were given huge panels on the double-sided illuminated monument sign right on the street. Talk about covering your bases!
BE SEEN
The most pleasing element of this sign has to be the colorful lettering, reinforcing their playful brand. And it goes without saying that we had to include the fanciful toothbrush smile element. With bright daytime appeal as well as eye-catching nighttime illumination, this is certainly one of the most visible businesses in the neighborhood.

This lightbox faces a main thoroughfare for maximum attention.

There is a small lightbox on the side entrance. The signage truly covers all angles.
Don’t let your arrival in your new location go unnoticed! Call Signwave for a free onsite consultation to make your opening as grand as possible!

Of course we also updated the monument sign out front for streetside visibility.
