Which style of pavement sign is best used in high traffic areas?
- Waterbase signs for extra stability
- Swinging signs to visually stand out
- A-boards for quick placement in busy zones
Why are pavement signs effective for high street advertising?
Because they’re placed directly in the path of potential customers, pavement signs are a powerful way to draw attention and generate impulse visits, especially when promoting time-sensitive offers or events.
What’s the benefit of a water-filled pavement sign versus an A-board?
- Water-filled signs offer superior stability in harsh weather
- A-boards are lightweight, portable, and ideal for sheltered or indoor placement
What is a water-filled pavement sign?
This is a pavement sign with a hollow base that can be filled with water (or sand) to provide weight and stability, making it ideal for use in windy outdoor locations.
What health and safety considerations should I make when using pavement signs?
When placing a pavement sign in a high-traffic area, safety is key for both your customers and your staff. Here are some important factors to consider:
- 1. Stability – Choose a weighted base such as a water-filled pavement sign to prevent tipping in windy conditions.
- 2. Mobility – Many of our portable advertising stands come with integrated wheels to make transportation easier, especially when moving signs indoors overnight.
- 3. Lockable wheels – Some models feature lockable castors, allowing you to secure the sign in place once positioned, reducing trip hazards and improving stability.
- 4. Weight balance – You want a sign that’s heavy enough to stay put, but not so heavy that it risks staff injury when moving it. Always consider who will be handling the sign, and how often it will be relocated.
Choosing the right sign from our A-board frames, outdoor advertising boards, or sandwich boards is not just about visibility — it’s about maintaining a safe and practical solution for day-to-day use.
