Wayfinding/Directional Signs

Wayfinding Signs in Edmonton

Are you ever in a business and can’t seem to find your way around? Do you look for some kind of signage to assist you, only for it to be non-existent?

What type of signage are you looking for?

Types of Directional Signs

Two subcategories of this type of sign are exterior and interior. The main difference between these two subcategories is their location at a business. Exterior wayfinding signs are found outside of the business, either close to or far away from the business’s location to generate interest, curiosity, and brand recall. Interior directional signs are located within the business to generate productivity and efficiency for employees, clients, and customers by easily navigating the building.

Here are specific kinds of directional signs that may benefit your Edmonton business:

  • Directional arrows
  • Real estate directional signs
  • Office signs
  • Directories
  • ADA signs
  • Event directional signs
  • Restroom directional signs


The cost of directional signs is dependent on the type of sign and customization desired. Customization can be seen in the size, shape, color, material, and location of the signage. The benefit of customizing is that your brand can be accurately represented, which leads to recognition by onlookers who are familiar with your business. It also prevents any similarities with other competing businesses, offering you a valuable competitive edge.

When to Use Directional Signage

We believe that directional signage is a must-have for all businesses. However, how do you know where and when you’re supposed to use them? Great question!

Imagine you’re hosting an event in Edmonton for clients with the hopes of earning their business. Your client’s experience at your business location is crucial to building rapport with them and gaining their trust that your business should be their top choice. Your clients arrive and are ushered in by a beautiful directional arrow sign. They enter your lobby and use the directory to quickly locate the meeting room you’re using for the event. Custom directional signs are placed outside of the meeting room, so your clients can confidently open the door and walk inside.

While these details seem small, taking the time to improve your customers’ journey goes a long way when fostering new relationships and building customer trust and loyalty for your business.
