3 Types of Hanging Signs that Attract Foot Traffic
Unlike signs that can be seen from far away, Hanging Signs are made to attract the eye of people walking nearby. In a similar fashion, they motivate these potential customers to come in and find out more about what your business offers. What follows is a guide to 3 types of Hanging Signs that attract foot traffic to your business.
#1: Blade Signs
If you want to boost visual interest, hanging business signs like Blade Signs do the job splendidly. These custom hanging signs are double-sided, hang perpendicular to your building, and are affixed to its structure. Blade Signs also face forward, so passersby can get a good look at them and easily read their detail as they come and go. Since these Hanging Signs don’t need to be optimized for motorists driving by, there is a ton of room for customization. You’ll find plenty of graphics, subtexts, fancy fonts, and rich colors & textures on Blade Signs.
Wooden Blade Sign
Outdoor hanging signs can really make a statement. For instance, if you look at Mondos’ logo on the Blade Sign, you’ll see that it pays homage to surfers and other ocean-based activities Ventura beaches offer. Meanwhile, the wooden font lets diners know they have tacos, boards and brewskies inside. Put it all together, and the design gives a subtle nod that what’s inside the restaurant is definitely worth your time.

Illuminated Blade Signs
Custom outdoor hanging signs with illumination really stand out, allowing you to see them from far away. A sleek neon outdoor hanging sign like the one below shines brightly and will promote your brand 24/7.

#2: Hanging Shop Signs
Hanging Signs are often much smaller than other types of commercial signage. To make up for their small stature, they have to project confidence in every way. Classic hanging shop signs like the one below check all the boxes and welcome customers into your business.
You may see dozens of them hung in downtown California streets. This popular type of hanging shop sign typically hangs on chains and sways in the wind.

Hanging logo sign ideas for office business fronts like the one we created below is a great choice, too. We incorporated orange and white hues into the brand’s circular logo, giving it a professional touch.

Dave’s Signs can create hanging storefront signs that not only capture the essence of your brand but also stand the test of time, seamlessly blending tradition with modern design. We can also provide large hanging signs to make an even bolder statement.
#3: Hanging Sign Combo
Combining an eye-catching hanging store sign with other types of signs gives you the best of both worlds. For instance, pedestrians coming and going will appreciate the detail we created for Gandolfo’s New York Delicatessen Blade Sign. On the other hand, motorists passing at a high rate of speed don’t need to see the subtlety in the intricate design that characterizes Hanging Signs.
This bold-colored Channel Letter Sign Gandolfo’s New York Deli is extremely visible from far away, which functions very well for motorists. Also, the Blade Sign and Channel Letter Sign on the storefront below really work together to elevate the Gandolfo brand.
