Three Things To Remember When It Comes To Church Signs

Blog

Signs, signs, everywhere there are church signs. If you're a pastor who wants to jump on board and use a sign as a way to market your church, here are some things you will want to keep in mind.

Everyone Loves a Good Laugh

Everyone loves a good laugh, and church folk are no different. If you are trying to come up with a funny church sign, you'll have to be careful that it doesn't offend anyone and that it's done in good taste. When trying to come up with a funny message to put on your church sign, here are some things to keep in mind:

  • Since people who are reading it will be driving, make it short and to the point
  • Don't turn people away from your church by incorporating "fire and brimstone" language
  • Be sure to incorporate functional information such as service times

If done in the right way, your funny church sign could end up on social media, which could end up being a great marketing tool.

Fix It Right Away

Church signs that are broken or that contain misspelled words will stand out from other church signs, but it won't be in a good way. If your sign is in need of repair, it's a good idea to get it fixed as soon as possible. A sign that's broken doesn't send a very good message, especially a broken church sign. The church is supposed to be a place of integrity, honesty, and credibility. A broken sign says just the opposite of all of these things.

Even if there is a word on the sign that's misspelled or if there is a part of the message that doesn't show up like it should, it needs to get fixed right away. When your sign says "Get Behind Me Satin," people won't be taking your church too seriously.

Consider an LED Church Sign

Many churches opt to go with an LED church sign that offers a digital display. Besides standing out from other signs, some other advantages an LED sign has to offer include:

  • Catches the attention of drivers and pedestrians
  • Communicates real-time information to passersby, including the time and temperature
  • Messages can get easily changed

Some churches may think that going with an LED sign is not a good idea in case something goes wrong with it. However, these types of signs can be easily fixed by any sign repair company.

Designing a Sign

After gaining a significant amount of weight a few years ago, I completely overhauled my diet. I began eating fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, and lean meats. During the summer months, I loved to buy fresh produce from local farmers’ markets and produce stands. While riding down the road, I often looked for signs advertising foods such as peaches, apples, field peas, and tomatoes. I particularly noticed signs designed with bright colors and beautiful pictures. If you sell delicious produce from your garden to the general public, consider investing in a professional sign to place by a busy roadway. On this blog, I hope you will discover tips for creating a sign for your business that drivers and passengers will definitely notice.
