Use an existing exterior sign to display daily messages discussing everything your firm sells or services. Assign one department to change out the message every day. If it is an electronic sign, change the message internally on a keyboard. Change it frequently and vary the message so it is different but relevant and causes passersbys to know something important about your company and begin to look forward to reading it every day.
Examples of daily sign messages:
- Restaurants: Post everything on your menu, one item at a time, each day. (i.e. We prepare… Chicken Fried Steak, Baked Chicken, Tuna Salad, Lasagna, Tuna Melts, Cheeseburgers, Sub Sandwiches, French Fries, Onion Rings, Caesar Salads, Grilled Chicken Sandwiches).
- Machine Shops: Indicate everything your custom metal manufacturing machine shop has made out of metal (i.e. We make… oil & gas supplies, automotive parts, truck chassis, metal medical bed frames, perforation guns for oil exploration, fruit sorting equipment, cattle feeding equipment.
