Pylon Business Signs Can Put Your Message Above the Competition’s

Pylon signs and pole signs are freestanding signs that can be single sided or double sided and are normally internally illuminated. A pole sign has one or two exposed poles and are especially advantageous to businesses that need to get their message high in the air to catch the attention of consumers, along a busy highway for example. A pylon sign has an external structure covering the poles and make great multi-tenant signs for shopping centers. Both pylon and pole signs can incorporate EMCs (electronic message centers) to promote various offerings or services. Schlosser has the equipment, talent and experience to put your business, literally, above your competition.

What are Pylon Business Signs?

An ever-popular outdoor signage solution for businesses of medium to large size, pylon signs are taller, freestanding signs that typically have a display on either side. Pylon signs are most commonly placed along busy pathways and streets, or besides businesses' private drives to signify an entrance to their property, as an example. These signs typically aren't used for advertising directly, but rather are used for notifying passers-by to a business's location, occasionally with matching directions to guide visitors in the right direction.

Pylon signs emphasize a logo and/or typography above all else, and are designed to be very visible from the roads or, less commonly, sidewalks that their audiences are traveling along. This is a big part of the reason pylon signs have a display on both sides — to attract the eyes of people going two different directions, both at the same time. In short, though, think of pylon signs as a bold, attention-grabbing statement that your business is here, it's open, and it's ready for those who see your sign to visit. Pylon signs give off an air of professionalism, and the sense that your business is established and worthwhile, and make up a smaller albeit highly important part of many business's — both small and large — advertising strategies.

What type of businesses use pylon signs?

Pylon signs are a staple of medium- and larger-sized businesses, especially those who regularly anticipate a large volume of customers at their location. The most popular instances of pylon signs are found at shopping centers and malls, where many businesses are present at a relatively smaller location. Such pylon signs feature the shopping center's most popular, big-name businesses — the larger, more popular the business, the bigger the logo, while smaller businesses are still featured albeit with less real estate on the display. The goal for these businesses is to feature as many logo as reasonably possible, in the hopes that people driving or walking by will be swayed by at least one.

Businesses like hotels, gyms, apartment complexes and business parks often use pylon signs as well. These businesses not only attract a lot of traffic on average, but are often a destination that people drive across town for — for businesses like these, notifying people to their location is seen as important, both so people don't miss their turn when visiting, and so people gain brand awareness overtime as more and more individuals drive by.
