Forecourt Signs and Pavement Signs

Why use forecourt signs?

In order to let potential customers know about your business and increase footfall, outdoor forecourt signage is key. Before prospective customers even see your window display, you can alert them to your presence. Pique the interest of passersby and set their expectations with a weighted outdoor sign.

They're also ideal for small businesses that don't have room for a window display. A popular use for this type of display is as a convenience store, car park or petrol station sign. The weighted bases for signs are perfect for outdoor use as they prevent the signs from tipping over in the wind.

Are the forecourt signs double sided?

Yes, all of our pavement signs and garage forecourt signs have a double sided display. This means that you can advertise to people passing by in both directions.

You can even feature a different poster display on each side of the board to appeal to different types of customer. For example, customers may need to climb a steep hill to reach your cafe. Therefore, it could be beneficial to advertise cold drinks and ice cream.

This will encourage customers to make the climb and visit your cafe. If you're faced on one side by an office building, you may wish to advertise your range of caffeinated beverages.
