Awnings help make it easy for people to find your establishment. And we think you’ll agree that’s the first rule of business. But for many Long Island enterprises, awnings can help you expand your selling area by making more room to conduct your business. And that means you can make more money.
Long Islandawnings can turn wasted space into usable space. They can transform someplace bare into something snappy that attracts attention, promoting your business and sheltering both merchandise and customers at the same time. They provide a roof, and that gives you a new room.
What can you do?
Restaurants and bars can useLong Islandawnings to create pleasant, inviting outdoor rooms for dining and beverage service. Or cover an entertainment stage. Or create an area for private parties.
Retailers can display their wares out front during business hours, every day or for special sidewalk sales. From apparel and furniture to fresh fruit and produce, people can see for themselves what you have to offer. Even the local farmers markets find homes under temporaryLong Islandawnings, whether they’re provided by the community or strictly do-it-yourself.
Your entire neighborhood can get in the act. Turn your sidewalk sale into a block-long, pedestrian-friendly happening. Or group up with your neighboring businesses to host street concerts or other special events that draw people to your location and help you meet new customers.
Long Island awnings can make room for more business in other ways, too.
Country clubs can enlarge shady space beside the pool to give supervising parents a chance to avoid sweltering and give the kids a break from the sun. Or create sheltered space for golfers waiting to tee off or on the driving range and tennis players awaiting their court time. Or create a handsome and welcoming portico for valet parking or golf bag unloading.
UsingLong Islandawnings to design these extra amenities may not actually generate more business, they it will certainly enhance member enjoyment, elevating your club’s status as a sought-after choice. And that can boost membership sales and retention.
You can useLong Islandawnings to make your business portable, too. Build an ice cream or bagel cart. Or construct units you can take to off-site events to promote your business if you’re a sponsor, hand out literature or sell goods. Use one as a walk-up “window” outside your fixed location to ease crowding when business is especially brisk.
Long Island awnings come in whatever size and shape you want.
Even though awnings have been around for centuries, they’re more popular than ever, because they’re so versatile, with lots of purely practical features plus the ability to make your place look great. That makes them perfect for whatever your business space allows.
But why not try something completely different from the traditional tented shapes ofLong Islandawnings and canopies? Something wonderfully eye-catching, with extra personality. Pergolas provide lovely dappled shade with a leafy canopy instead of the traditional fabric covering. They’re lush and inviting – naturally cool, even on the hottest day.
And tension membranes, or sails, can cover even very large areas if you need more room for heavily attended events. These structures are can be constructed in non-traditional geometric shapes. Who says you can’t have a triangular eating or performance area? An unusual space, created withLong Islandawnings, could be a real show-stopper. And once people stop to look, they’ll want to know more about your business, whatever you do.
You can create Long Island awnings tough enough to withstand the whims ofNew Yorkweather and still look smart for many years, whether you use them all year round or just seasonally or for temporary activities. So what are you waiting for? The sooner you start planning your awnings, the sooner you can put that additional business room to use.
