Sunny Southern California is famous for its strip malls. They are integral parts of the local economy. In some cases, you find them located within walking distance of one another. If you are a property manager or owner, enticing shoppers to visit your stores may call for new strip mall shopping center monument signs in North County CA.
Case Study: Old Poway Village
There was already a monument sign in place. However, it had a decidedly dated look. As a result, a new demographic of shoppers was becoming less likely to stop by and visit the eclectic stores doing business there. By upgrading the look of the sign, the property management company could breathe new life into the location’s popularity.
Our team began by dismantling the old sign and preparing the site for installation. While this was going on, technicians at the shop were putting together the new sign. It is fair to say that this sign is a work of art. We used a backing that consisted of four-foot by six-foot pressure-treated wood. After staining it gray to give it an artificially aged effect, we added steel to the front.
This steel was one-quarter inches in depth and waterjet cut. The result is a letter presentation that is crisp and looks great. We also treated the steel with a patina to give it that old effect. With the fabrication completed, our technicians went to the property and installed the sign. It immediately gave the property a contemporary vibe without sacrificing the stores’ diverse appeals.
Lighted Signage? A Great Product, But Not Always Needed!
You already know that All Star Signs specializes in designing, producing, and installing illuminated monument signs. However, we are not afraid to tell you when this display might not be in the best interest of your location. In the case of the Old Poway Village, the sign will reflect the illumination of oncoming headlights, which will create a play of light and shadows.
Other business owners can do very well with non-lit strip mall shopping center monument signs in North County CA when light sources are nearby. These include the sign in their illumination, which lets you save money on built-in LEDs and the components that make them work. If you are unsure that this display would work for your location, call the shop and invite us for a site survey!
