This is the first post in our Signage Process Series, where we’ll guide you through the key steps of creating effective signage. Over the coming months, we’ll cover essential topics like permitting, design, manufacturing, installation, and repair. Our goal? To help you make informed decisions and ensure your signage delivers ALL the IMPACT, ALL for YOU.
Why a Sign Consultation Matters
A sign is more than just a piece of material with a logo—it’s a representation of your brand and a vital communication tool. The success of your signage depends on careful planning from the very start. That’s where a sign consultation comes in.
At Allmark Signs and Graphics, we take the time to understand your business goals, brand identity, and specific needs before we recommend materials, sizes, or placement. A thorough consultation ensures that your sign will be highly visible, durable, and aligned with your brand’s image—saving you time, money, and potential headaches down the road.

Costly Mistakes to Avoid Without a Consultation
Skipping a consultation can lead to serious issues, including:
🚨 Poor Readability – Fonts that are too small or colors that blend into the background reduce effectiveness. Your sign should be legible from a distance.
🚨 Bad Placement – A sign blocked by trees, power lines, or poor lighting means wasted investment. We help determine the best location for visibility and impact.
🚨 Low-Quality Materials – The wrong materials may fade, warp, or deteriorate quickly in harsh weather. We guide you in selecting materials that last.
🚨 Compliance Issues – Many businesses fail to check local sign ordinances, leading to costly fines or forced removal. Our expertise ensures your sign meets all permit and zoning regulations.
🚨 Inconsistent Branding – If colors, fonts, or logos are off, it weakens brand recognition. We match your brand colors using X-Rite tools and the Pantone Matching System for precision.
🚨 Budget Overruns – Poor planning can result in unexpected costs. A consultation clarifies costs upfront so you stay within budget.
