4 Sign Maintenance Program Success Stories
The signage throughout your facility makes an impact on customers’ perceptions of your brand and plays a big role in the overall brand image you are portraying. When looking at your brand strategy, it is important to think past the installation of new signage to the maintenance for years to come. Dirty, damaged, outdated, or unlit signage can negatively impact your customers, which is why it’s critical to make a sign maintenance program an essential part of your brand strategy.
When assessing your brand strategy, there are a couple of sign maintenance programs to consider:
- Preventive Maintenance — This type of sign maintenance program proactively evaluates your signage, and will quickly diagnose and resolve any issues to help you avoid costly and disruptive problems.
- On-Call Maintenance — This type of sign maintenance program supports your brand when the unexpected occurs. From repairing an interior or exterior sign outage to restoring a storm-damaged facility, our on-call maintenance service team responds to every request promptly and professionally.
Depending on your brand and all of the signage touchpoints throughout your facilities, sign maintenance programs can include:
- Night illumination surveys to see how lighting systems perform after hours
- Signage assessments to identify outages, poor lighting, and other issues
- Facility inspections to address damage, wear and tear, and cosmetic issues
- Cleaning programs for maintaining asset appearance and sanitation
- Repairing damaged or worn out letter sets
- Fixing illumination issues
- Updating to more energy efficient options
- Restoring storm damaged assets
Investing in a sign maintenance program can not only positively impact customers’ perceptions but can also yield long-term benefits for your brand. Here, we’ll explore a few examples from our portfolio that showcase these.
