How Pylon Business Signs can help improve your storefront – by Signs A La Carte West Chester, PA-

8/2/2021

0 Comments

 
​We have said it once and we'll say it again! Your business needs signage! At Signs A La Carte we offer all kinds of signage. We have what you are looking for. One of the signs we create that you may be familiar with is our Pylon Signs. A Pylon sign is also known as a freestanding sign that is most commonly outdoors. They are frequently mounted on one or two poles. These signs can be single or double sided depending on your preference. At Signs A La Carte we can also replace your current sign. 
 
A pylon sign is typically a large sign in front of your business. This will attact by-passers and make your brand known. It is important to add important information on your sign like who you are, what you have to offer, and contact information. This will ensure potential customers or clients will remember who you are. 

Why you may need a replacement sign

​There are various reasons why you may need a sign replacement. Lucky for you Signs A La Carte is able to do almost any sign replacement. The most common reason a sign may need to be replaced is due to a rebrand. Companies and businesses are changing all of the time. This calls for a new logo, color scheme, or even a new name. On the other hand, there are times when a pylon sign needs to be replaced because an entire new company is moving in. When an old company moves out a new one moves in. A faded or discolored sign is another reason why many owners decide it's time for an upgrade. If your sign needs some love and attention contact Signs A La Carte for all of your repair needs. ​
We recently worked with SPA Car Wash to replace their sign. Overtime with the weather like we have in Pennsylvania, the sign can become damaged, causing  the face to crack, peel, and even fade. ​
Picture
At Signs A La Carte we make sure our signs are made out of the best quality and are long lasting. If you have a design in mind for your new Pylon sign, let us know! Our expert design team is happy to work with you to create your new sign. 
 
At Signs A La Carte we offer many different types of signage. We are willing to work with you so that you can have your dream signage stress free. From start to finish we want to ensure you are getting exactly what you are paying for. If you have a vision in mind for what type of signage you would like to see on your storefront contact Signs A La Carte today for a free quote.

Why Retail Stores Need Exterior by Signs A La Carte- West Chester-PA

1/20/2020

Monument Signs, Building Signs and Store Windows for retail stores in West Chester area.


​As the owner of a retail store, you probably know you need signs, but you might not know where to begin. Signs A La Carte can help you decide. After you contact us, we’ll meet with you at your business to discuss your needs, goals, and preferences. We’ll also bring our book with images of previous jobs to give you some ideas. 

Types of Exterior Retail Signage 

​To make your business visible to potential customers, we recommend putting your business name in various places outside of your business. 
 
On the Monument Sign 
The monument sign or pole at the entrance to the commercial area is a great place to show people they’ve come to the right location. Whether the panel face is large or small, we’ll update the signage for you. 
 
​On the Building 
Do you want to take advantage of low-voltage LEDs inside your store sign? Channel letters are a great example, but you can also have an LED lighted box, where we can slide in an acrylic face with your business’s name. 
 
The Signs A La Carte team can manufacture the shape, size, and outdoor material of your choice or install dimensional letters. Large outdoor building signs do more than direct people to your business—they project an image with your unique brand and represent your care and professionalism. 
 
​On Store Windows 
We can apply various types of vinyl to fit your needs, including decals that are visible from the parking lot or colorful, perforated vinyl. The perforated vinyl allows visitors from inside your store to see outside, but the people on the outside aren’t able to see in. 
 
Another way to professionally add important information to your storefront entrance or window is to apply vinyl lettering. Signs A La Carte customizes vinyl letter stickers (font, color, and size) with your business name, hours, and the types of products and services you offer. 

The Signs A La Carte Guarantee 

​Sometimes you need to split your payments into separate installments. In this case, we can install what’s most important to you to promote your business. Generally we install the building signs, followed by the window signs. 
 
Our team works hard every day to be known as the company that guarantees quality, well-manufactured products. We appreciate our customers for trusting us with their business. Meeting with them to present the many options they have is important to us. 
 
If you’re looking for an exterior or interior sign for your retail store, fill out the request form on our website for a free estimate. We hope to hear from you soon!

Why Your Construction Site Needs Signage by Signs A La Carte- West Chester, PA-

9/23/2019

Long-lasting and precise construction, directional and directory signs that meet the needs of any business


When a site is under construction, signage is important. It shows which company is working on the site or which business is under construction. When the building is complete, signs that direct people through the building are also imperative. And don’t forget about the builder’s vehicles—builders with their name and contact info on the side of their vehicles are more likely to get inquiries from people with similar projects. 
 
Construction sites are an ideal setting for making your brand visible to the public. Using high-quality materials and color matching, Signs A La Carte can customize your sign project, brining your creative vision to life and getting your brand noticed. 
 
We’ve already completed several projects for commercial builders and property managers. Take a look at a few of our examples below. 
​A Logo and Lettering for Hazley Builders 
 
Thanks to the new graphics on their vehicles, Hazley Builders can grab attention with a unique design that represents their brand and includes their logo, company name, and website. Whether they’re on the road, on a sales call, or parked in front of your business, the company gets noticed. 
Picture

Signs A La Carte offers various types of wraps for fleet management, including half-wrap or full-wrap vehicle graphics. Since we print all graphics on our digital printer, we provide the same color and high-resolution graphics every time you need a new vehicle decal. ​​
​Post Signs for Spire 
 
Signs A La Carte manufactured two types of post signs for Spire. One is made with 6” x 6” x 10’ wood posts, and the hanging sign has a panel made of 96” by 16” MDO. The other is made with 4” by 4” x 5’ wood posts. Between the posts, the panel will be made of MDO. On all signs, we’ll flush their logo customized with a specific red acrylic. 
Picture
Picture
Spire will install the posts on their construction sites so if someone is interested in their project, they’ll know Spire is doing the work. ​
​Directional, Directory Signs, and ADA Signs for Drexelbrook Catering 
 
Signs A La Carte designed and manufactured 3D signs with different layers of material for the interior building at Drexelbrook Catering. The base is a brushed aluminum material with a black acrylic face. On top of the frame, we added the cut-out logo in a whiite acrylic circle with UV printed graphics. We adhered a small brushed aluminum plate with black textured vinyl. Frames are mounted to the wall with standoffs made from brushed aluminum to match the identification signs. The building’s luxurious appearance makes visitors want to return to the space. 
​Like What You See? 
 
Signs A La Carte is a full-service custom signage company that specializes in exceptional products made from high-quality materials. We offer long-lasting and precise construction signs, directional signs, and directory signs to meet your business needs. 
 
If you like what we did for Hazley Builders, Drexelbrook Catering, or Spire, give our team a call and we’ll make sure you have all the signs you need!

Creating New Exterior Signs and a Lobby Sign for Brandywine Med Spa by Signs A La Carte -West Chester, PA-

8/26/2019

0 Comments

 

Signs A La Carte installed ​exterior signs and lobby signs at Brandywine Med Spa in Kenneth Square.


Picture
​One year ago, Dr. Tariq and Uzma Quraishi contacted Signs A La Carte for help rebranding signage for their new business facility. Dr. Uzma Quraishi has been providing general medical care and cosmetic treatments in the Kennett Square area since 2004. At Brandywine Med Spa, she offers the latest innovations in cosmetic medicine. 
 
Our part of the project included creating new exterior signs and a lobby sign. First, Dr. Quraishi wanted to change out the pylon in front of the building. Signs A La Carte refurbished the sign that had belonged to a previous restaurant. We kept the octagonal shape of the sign, cutting two new acrylic faces and applying a translucid black cut vinyl with the doctor’s name, phone number, and business name. This type of vinyl allows light to go through.

​After back and forth moke-ups of the sign they would like to have on the storefront sign, we ended up by installing a signage made of 10" tall acrylic dimensional letters and a 10’’ logo both pigmented in bronze. The 16 letters and logo will be stud mounted on the wall.
Picture
Picture
​​Signs A La Carte also took care of the lobby sign that is the same as the building sign. After Dr. Quraishi’s approval, we installed a white and bronze logo and 16 acrylic dimensional letters pigmented in bronze. The 5” letters and the logo will be stud mounted on the wall with a spacer. On the entrance windows, we affixed the beautiful logo cut in a white vinyl. 
​Now for the story of the two freezer doors outside the building. Initially the couple discussed a landscape. Our designer sent them a few proofs, but they were still undecided. One day, our designer found some photos and arranged them in a new proof. The proof was approved, but then winter arrived. If temperatures are below freezing, it’s impossible to install vinyl outdoors. We had to wait for the weather to get warmer. 
​Finally, after a spring warm up, we were able to install the high-quality, laminated, large-format printing on the two freezer doors. The photos have a lasting impact on customers—when we talk about other businesses in the area, we mention these photos and automatically, people know where to go. 
 
Dr. Tariq and Uzma Quraishi were great to work with! Despite the weather challenges, they were very understanding. As we know, the weather isn’t the only challenge we sometimes face when installing signs, and we were just lucky we had such patient clients. The finished Brandywine Med Spa sign is classy and chic.

The Process of Creating a Custom Monument Sign by Signs A La Carte- West Chester -PA-

1/22/2019

Explanation of The Process of Creating a Custom Monument Sign by Signs A La Carte- West Chester -PA-

Have you seen the beautiful shopping center monument sign in Limerick, PA? Signs A La Carte was the proud manufacturer and installer. ​

Picture
​ 
We handled every step in the process to draw attention to the new shopping center coming soon. From pieces of wood and electrical wire, we designed and mounted the illuminated monument. 

Ever wonder how a monument sign is made? Below we’ve included the steps in the sign-making process, including design, fabrication and assembly, and installation. ​

Design
This is typically the most intimidating step in the process for many business owners, but it’s often the most exciting (aside from admiring the newly installed sign). When designing a monument sign, there’s more to it than layout and colors. You should consider the size of your space, the aesthetic of your complex, and the substrates and materials used to create your sign. ​
Picture
​Your monument sign will include both the actual signage and the masonry that helps support the sign’s base. You have options for each component. Business owners will often match their sign to the architecture of their building. Stone, aluminum, wood, acrylic, and other metals are the materials we most frequently use.
 
Before you get too far in the design process, it’s a good idea to check with your municipality to find out what your city code allows. If you are creating your first monument sign, you’ll be required to secure a permit for your sign. 

Fabrication and Assembly
At Signs A La Carte, we have the in-house capabilities to execute and supervise each step in the fabrication and assembly process. This helps ensure that the sign we install at your business matches the specifications we agreed upon during the design phase. Fabrication begins once you’ve approved the design and are ready to move forward.
Mounting the Sign
Assuming all permits have been secured, it’s time to install your sign! Monument signs should be placed perpendicularly to the street. To help ensure your sign is easy to read, make sure you take shadows and sunlight into consideration when placing your sign. Signs A La Carte will guide you through the process. We have all of the tools and equipment needed to securely install your sign. ​
After the footer or foundation of the monument sign are prepared to receive the sign, we secure the metal frame of the sign to the footer. The last step is to slide the acrylic faces with names or phone numbers at their place it should be.

 ​And voila! Your sign is installed and ready to attract visitors to your business.
 
Why Install or Refresh a Monument Sign?
Retailers spend a lot of money to be in high-traffic shopping malls. However, old, unattractive monument faces—or worse, no monument sign at all—are even more costly. Signs A La Carte fabricates and installs shopping mall signs to increase traffic and sales.
 
Many smart retailers are improving their signage for the new year! If you are looking for a new signage solution, Signs A La Carte can help you enhance your ideas or start from scratch. Don’t hesitate to contact us with questions about creating your monument sign or any kind of signs you may need.

A Guide to Vinyl Signs by Signs A La Carte -West Chester, PA-

1/14/2019

0 Comments

 

Signs A La Carte- West Chester, PA- has a A Guide to Vinyl Signs to help you custom any kind of signs.


​In a previous post, we answered some common questions we get asked as a full-service, custom sign company. Another question our customers ask: what does it mean when we say full service?
 
Signs A La Carte has a large printer that can print any type of vinyl and wallpaper we apply on various surfaces. Here is a list (not exhaustive) of the types of vinyl signs we can create.
Wall and Window Graphics
The printer uses primary colors to reproduce all pictures and designs for your project. The chart below represents the colors we can print. ​
Picture
Windows and walls are great surfaces for vinyl application—they are flat, and the space can be used to promote your name, your brand, your tagline, and your beautiful pictures. ​

Vehicle Wraps
​At Signs A La Carte, we discuss ways to maximize blank space on your vehicle with the message you want to convey. We provide four options for advertising on your vehicle:

Picture

  • An economical, simple lettering on the side using colored vinyl

  • A more complex lettering including a printed lettering and cut letters
Picture
Picture
  •  A half wrap that includes two full sides and the back 

  • A full wrap that covers the four sides of your vehicle and may include the windows and roof 
Picture
​

​Prefer something removable? We create vehicle magnets! However, these magnetic stickers require extra care than vinyl wraps and must be regularly cleaned to prevent rust. 
​


Monument and Dimensional Channel Letters
Maybe your business is in a business center and you want customers to recognize your business from a distance. You might need dimensional or illuminated letters. If your business center has no monument sign or pylon to indicate which businesses occupy the space, we can install a sign with your design. Signs A La Carte can also update your business name on the face of an existing monument sign or pylon. ​

Building Signs
Channel letters can help call attention to your building and business. We can also create other building signs to point to your location, including a post, sign rider, store front sign, and more. ​

Lobby and Interior Signs
When customers enter your building, their first impressions are key. Did they see your logo? The name on your desk? A directional sign? These little details are important for nice Lobby Sign and Interior Signs, and the Signs A La Carte team can help improve the visual experience for your customers. We can also create an ADA sign if needed. ​

Trade Show Display
Are you promoting your business at an event? You need a trade show display. Signs A La Carte can create a canopy, runner table, banner, roll-up banner, flags, posters, and more. These exhibition booth pieces show who you are, where you are located, and what you have to offer.
​Signs A La Carte specializes in indoor and outdoor signs to showcase your business and attract more customers. Even if you don’t know exactly what you want, we can help! Just give us a call.
