First Impressions

  • "It's not what you say, but how you say it. "
  • "You never get a second chance to make a first impression."
  • "Dress carefully, people will think you are what you advertise."

The classic Mom-ism's. Everyone's mother seemed to use the same phrases over and over. At 13 we were sure they were written in some outdated "Secret Mother's Handbook" and could not understand their logic. But as adults we begin to see the wisdom of Mom, both at home and in the business world.

In business, it is your storefront - complete with it's signage - that is often that "dressing" that gives people that all important first impression. For instance, your "OPEN" sign tells passers-by much more than the fact that you are "open". It can tell them........

  • Your Clientele - the budget minded or exclusive.
  • Your Store's Mood - Calm and Serene vs Exciting and New!
  • Your Merchandise - Cheap Junk, or Quality Goods.
  • Your Service Level - Super Fast Service, or Browse for Hours.

It is really quite amazing how one little word, presented in the right way can say all this and more about your business.

A first impression means everything - a cheap sign will give you the impression a place let's things go - if they let a sign go, then what are they doing with the food.

My husband and I are new deli owners, we added pizza recently, but no one really knew about it. With the new nice pizza neon sign we got, business has picked up and getting better everyday. The sign looks great, is unique which we love and goes with our place. Made a big difference, we hope to get another one soon for a 2nd window.
