How Can We Help?



Looking for custom sign or graphics option?

7/14/2025

If you’re opening a new location, rebranding, or simply want to stand out more, signage is one of the most important marketing tools at your disposal. But where do you begin?

At Image360 Woodbury, we often hear, “I need a sign for my business, but I’m not sure what kind.” The truth is, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Effective signage depends on your location, audience, and the type of business you run. Here’s a quick guide to help you get started:

1. Exterior Signage: Your First Impression

Building signs, monument signs, pylon signs, window graphics
These signs attract customers, help people find your location, and create a strong first impression. A restaurant might benefit from a bright, illuminated channel letter sign, while a medical office may opt for a monument sign that blends into a professional landscape.
No matter which type of sign you go with, you need to be sure to adhere to City Sign ordinances (and landlord requirements if you lease your space).

2. Window and Door Graphics: Maximize Street Visibility

Hours, logos, promotions, decorative films

Your windows are valuable real estate. Use them to communicate key information like business hours, highlight services, or showcase seasonal promotions. Retailers often use this space for bold, attention-grabbing graphics.

3. Interior Signage: Reinforce Your Brand

Lobby signs, wayfinding, wall graphics, safety signage
Interior signs aren’t just decorative—they enhance the customer experience. A well-designed lobby sign sets a professional tone, while directional signs ensure customers and employees can navigate your space with ease.

4. Vehicle Graphics: Your Brand on the Move

Full wraps, partial wraps, magnetics

For service-based businesses—like contractors, cleaning services, or delivery companies—vehicle graphics turn your fleet into mobile billboards. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to build brand recognition.

Different Signs for Different Needs

No matter your business type, signage is more than just a name on a building—it’s your brand, your visibility, and often your first impression. If you’re not sure where to start, we’re here to walk you through every step—from design to permitting to installation—so your signage works as hard as you do.
