Custom Indoor Signs for Your Business: A Guide to Success

February 01, 2025

Types of Indoor Signs Every Business Needs

1. Lobby & Reception Signs

Your lobby or reception area is often the first thing customers see when they enter your business. A well-designed lobby sign featuring your logo and branding establishes credibility and makes a strong first impression.

Popular options:

  • Dimensional lettering (metal, acrylic, or wood)
  • Backlit signs
  • Wall graphics

2. Wayfinding & Directory Signs

If your business is in a large building, customers and employees need wayfinding signs to navigate easily. Clear, professional directory signage reduces frustration and enhances the visitor experience.

Common uses:

  • Office directories for multi-tenant buildings
  • Restroom, exit, and stairway signs
  • Room identification signs

3. Wall Murals & Graphics

Want to transform a blank wall into an engaging brand statement? Wall murals and custom vinyl graphics can tell your story, highlight your mission, or simply create a more inviting space. These signs are especially effective in offices, restaurants, and retail spaces.

4. ADA & Compliance Signs

Businesses are required by law to have ADA-compliant signage for accessibility. These include:

  • Braille and tactile signs for restrooms and exits
  • Signs with high contrast for visibility
  • Proper placement and mounting for ADA compliance

5. Point-of-Purchase (POP) & Promotional Signs

Retail stores and restaurants benefit from point-of-purchase signs that promote sales, products, or seasonal specials. These can be:

  • Countertop signs
  • Hanging signs
  • Digital menu boards

6. Office & Conference Room Signs

Keep your workspace organized with office door signs, nameplates, and conference room signage. These help employees and visitors know where to go while maintaining a professional appearance.

7. Floor Graphics

If you’re looking for a unique way to direct traffic or promote a special offer, floor graphics are an innovative option. They’re especially useful in large retail spaces, gyms, and event venues.

 

Tips for Choosing the Best Indoor Signs

Stay Consistent with Branding
Your indoor signs should match your business’s colors, fonts, and style to create a cohesive look.

Choose the Right Materials
From acrylic and metal to vinyl and wood, different materials create different effects. Consider durability, aesthetics, and maintenance when selecting your signage.

Prioritize Readability
Make sure fonts are clear, colors have good contrast, and signs are placed at eye level for easy visibility.

Ensure Compliance
If you need ADA-compliant signs, work with a professional sign company (like McNamara Signs!) to meet regulations properly.

Think About Placement
Strategically place signs where they will have the most impact, such as entryways, hallways, and high-traffic areas.
