Top 10 Places to Install Signage for Maximum Visibility

When it comes to signage, placement is everything. You could have the most eye-catching design and premium materials — but if it’s not in the right spot, it won’t get the attention it deserves. Whether you're a business owner, contractor, or event organiser, here are the top 10 best places to install signage for maximum visibility and impact.

At Eye-Level Near Entrances

This is one of the most important placements — it’s where people naturally look when approaching a building or shop. Signage at eye level helps guide customers in, reinforces your branding, and can highlight key info like opening hours or contact details.

On Fencing or Site Perimeters

For construction sites, temporary events, or property developments, perimeter signage is a must. It’s your first opportunity to create a professional impression — and it turns plain fencing into a powerful branding tool.

Above the Shopfront (Fascia Signs)

Fascia signs are the classic shopfront staple — they sit above your entrance and are visible from a distance. A clean, bold fascia sign helps people spot your business as they approach and signals professionalism.

On Pavements and Walkways (A-Boards)

A well-placed A-board on the pavement can catch the eye of passing foot traffic — especially on busy streets or near cafés, salons, or markets. These signs are great for promoting daily deals or directing people to your entrance.

Inside Reception Areas

Interior signage is often overlooked, but it plays a key role in reinforcing your brand. A welcome sign, company mission statement, or directional signage inside your reception or waiting area sets a professional tone.

On Company Vehicles

Vehicle graphics are moving billboards. Whether you're on-site or on the motorway, your van or car is a golden opportunity for brand exposure. They’re especially valuable for tradespeople, contractors, and delivery services.

High-Traffic Roadside Areas

If you have access to roadside land or fences near busy roads, don’t waste the space. Large format signs, mesh banners, or post-mounted signs can bring major visibility to your brand or project.

Windows and Glass Panels

Glass-fronted buildings offer a blank canvas for eye-catching vinyl graphics. Frosted vinyl, promotional window decals, or one-way vision prints are great for grabbing attention while keeping things sleek and modern.

At Events, Expos or Pop-Ups

Temporary signage for events — like roller banners, backdrops, and branded tablecloths — help you stand out in a crowd. Make sure your branding is clearly visible from all angles, especially if you're sharing space with others.

On Walls or Corridors Inside Workspaces

Keep your team aligned and motivated with internal signage. Think of motivational quotes, brand values, team whiteboards, or directional signs that help staff and visitors move confidently through your space.
