How Investing In A Commercial Awning Can Help Your small Business Grow!

Gaining maximum visibility is a first priority for every business. If you’re new in business, you need to introduce yourself. If you’re a franchisee, your name may be quite recognizable, but you’re still opening a new location, creating a new opportunity for franchise fans to access their beloved products or services. Either way, investing in a commercial awning will get your business off to a healthy start.

If you operate a medical facility, you have even more urgent visibility challenge – people need to find you in a hurry, when they may be upset or distracted. Investing in a commercial awning makes it easy for people to find you.

What if you’re a new owner?

Investing in new commercial awning lets you put your own stamp on the business, in a decisive way. Your awning announces change, and that attracts renewed interest from existing customers and potential new ones.

A commercial awning promotes your business all the time.

Sell, sell, sell, that’s how you grow. Your awning is a silent salesperson that’s never away from the desk, out to lunch, on vacation or distracted from the promotional job at hand. Your marketing look and message are presented consistently, around the clock. Be sure to design proper illumination for your commercial awning, so you don’t “go dark” after dark.

Investing in a commercial awning can literally expand your business.

Remodeling is expensive and intrudes on your ability to conduct business. Moving to a new location can be even more disruptive. Creating additional usable space with a retractable or fixed commercial awning is infinitely less costly and faster, and it adds to the visual appeal of your business. Outdoor seating will not only please your drinking and dining regulars, it can attract a whole new crowd of soon-to-be regulars. Your cash register will ring even louder next season.

Now is the perfect time to begin thinking about what you want. There’s no rush, so you can explore all your options carefully and you’ll be ready to install that stunning new awning at the first sign spring is on the way.

Saving money grows your bottom line.

Reducing costs means you can keep more of what you earn – two good reasons to love the savings your commercial awning will generate by shading your windows. You’ll save on energy and your indoor merchandise or furnishings will last longer, protected from damaging UV sunlight. You’ll be greener. That’s good for the environment and enhances your reputation. It’s all good for business.

You can also rack up LEED credits for your commercial awning by choosing the right designs and materials.

Custom design is the most important attribute of any commercial awning.

The more competition you have, the more you need differentiation. You have to stand out. In populous business districts with lots of small businesses, you also have to stand out visually from your neighbors no matter what they do or sell. A commercial awning differentiates by allowing your distinct personality to shine through, whether your business is fun and light-hearted, sophisticated, luxurious or down-to-earth.

Your awning can add dimension to a bland, flat façade or highlight striking architecture or detailing. Choose shapes, sizes, patterns and materials that complement your exterior, because you want to look unique without looking out of place. And add graphics, either simple and understated or all-over detailed images in keeping with your type of business.

The better your small business looks – appealing, professional, quality, interesting – the more likely you will be to bring in new shoppers, patients or clients and the more memorable you will be. A commercial awning speaks for your business. It says, “this is a great place to shop, eat, play, relax, get help.” That generates ongoing new interest and keep customers coming back because they’re proud to shop with you.

You need all that to make your business grow.
