Description

Clear, intentional signage isn't just for looks—it can shape the entire customer experience, reduce confusion, and cut down on unnecessary phone calls. In this episode, we break down the essential signs every facility should have and why they matter.

We cover:

  • Why your main sign should be simple and brand-driven—no phone numbers required

  • The one sign every facility needs

  • How to guide tenants effectively with keypad instructions and move-out signage

  • The importance of directional signs for large or awkwardly laid-out facilities

  • What to include (and what to avoid) with security signage

  • The difference between professional, purposeful signage and visual clutter

  • Seasonal tips for amenity signs that highlight climate control, RV/boat parking, and more

We were inspired for this topic by our recent consulting project for Access Storage and recorded this on location from their rustic red barn in French Lick, Indiana (during a heat index of 106°!).
