How to Use Coroplast Signs for Your Business

Take a look around any busy street, parking lot, or shopping area, and you’ll probably spot a Coroplast sign. Also called corrugated plastic signs, people use them for everything from real estate listings and open houses to sales, events, and directional signs.

Coroplast is lightweight, weather-resistant, and affordable. You can use it indoors and outdoors without breaking the bank. It also offers a decent size range, with printing available on one or both sides. It’s also pretty easy to install. This makes it easy to see why it’s such a popular material.

If you’re unsure where Coroplast signs could fit into your marketing, here are practical ways to use them. Promote a sale, guide customers, open a new location, or simply get your business noticed with these products.

1. Promote Your New Product or Service

Have a new product or service you want people to know about? Use a Coroplast sign to promote it where your customers can see it. They work well both indoors and outdoors, so you can put them wherever they make the most sense for your business.

• Sidewalk and storefront windows: Put a sign near your entrance or inside a street-facing window to catch passersby’s attention. Cafés may use one to promote a new drink, while salons and boutiques may highlight a new service;
• Parking lot entrances: a sign near the entrance can reach customers before they even walk into your store. Retailers, auto shops, and other businesses use this space to promote a new service or product, for example;
• Near checkout counters: don’t overlook the people who are already making a purchase. You can use a smaller Coroplast sign near the register to introduce customers to a new product, or point them toward a special offer;
• Job sites and service vehicles: if you work at customers’ homes or businesses, your job site can double as a marketing opportunity. Contractors, landscapers, roofers, and other service businesses can use a Coroplast sign to let nearby customers know what they offer and how to get in touch.

2. Announce a Sale or Limited-Time Offer

A Coroplast sign can help people see your sales or special promotions. Choose a dry-erase option to keep the same sign and change the offer whenever necessary.

For example, a retail store can update the sign as different items go on sale. A restaurant can write the day’s special and change it the next morning. Dry-erase Coroplast signs let you keep your logo or other permanent details on the sign while leaving space for changing messages.

And if you’re promoting one specific sale, a regular printed sign may be all you need. Put it near the entrance, in a window, or anywhere customers are likely to see it. You can also opt for double-sided printing to help customers see your offer from both sides.

3. Display Business Hours and Information

Customers shouldn’t have to guess when you’re open. A small Coroplast sign by the entrance can give them the information they need before entering.

You can also use it to create business hours signs, highlight holiday closures, or share a phone number for questions. If your hours change from one season to another, a dry-erase Coroplast sign makes the update easier.

The key is to put the sign somewhere easy to spot, so customers can check the details for themselves instead of having to ask someone.

4. Direct Foot Traffic and Guide Customers

Sometimes people just need a little help figuring out where to go. A few clear signs can point them in the right direction and save everyone from stopping to ask.

You can use Coroplast signs to mark entrances, exits, parking spaces, pickup areas, or different parts of a building. They’re useful for guiding people through a large space or area they’re not familiar with. Given that they’re also lightweight, you can move them around whenever it’s time for a change.

They’re a great option for small businesses, too. Put an “Entrance” sign by the door, an arrow toward the pickup area, or an “Order Here” sign where customers line up. There’s no need for a lot of signs. Just make sure the ones you use are easy to spot and understand.

5. Market Your Real Estate Listing

A good sign can do a lot of the work for real estate agents.

A personalized yard sign lets people know a property is for sale. An arrow sign can guide them to a nearby open house. For more visibility, you can add a Coroplast rider to a real estate frame or post. Use it to highlight details such as “Price Reduced” or “Just Listed.”

Having a few different types of signs on hand makes it easier to handle multiple listings.

6. Stand Out at a Trade Show or Market

Trade shows and markets can get crowded, and it’s easy for a small booth to get overlooked. You want people to notice your booth, know what you’re selling, and find you without having to look too hard.

Coroplast signs can help with that. Use them for your business name, prices, product information, or simple directions. You can hang them around your booth or place them where people can easily see them as they walk by.

Make your booth more noticeable by adding a personalized standee. A custom-cut standee gives you a larger display that can engage people’s interest and works well for vendors, market stalls, and pop-up shops.

7. Support a Grand Opening or Special Event

When you’re opening a new location or hosting an event, you want people to know what’s going on. A custom-made sign can catch their attention, a banner can let them know where to go, and a few directional signs can help with parking or finding the entrance.

The same idea works for fundraisers, community events, pop-up shops, and weekend sales. You can put the signs up for the event, use them for a few days, and take them down when it’s over.

8. Run a Seasonal Campaign

Want to give your storefront a different look for the season? Switch up your Coroplast sign for Christmas, a big sale, or a seasonal menu. When the season is over, take the sign down and save it for next year.

If you don’t feel like starting your design from scratch, you can explore our templates for the holidays and other events like Black Friday or Valentine’s Day. Just add your logo and adjust the details to fit your business.
