Billboard Signage
Creating a clear concise message is important in increasing your brand’s visibility. More importantly however, is the communication of your message. Create a deeper engagement with your audience with attractive billboards customized to your product or service.
Effective billboard signage can be used to attract more customers to your business and increase your brand’s awareness. Much similar to building signs, billboards demand public attention, ensuring your message is noticed by your audience.
Our in house team can design, build and install your billboard to make sure it stands out from the crowd with innovative designs.
Increase Your Brand Visibility with Highly Effective Billboard Design
Any marketing plan worth its salt will include advertising to increase the visibility of their brand, service or product. For more than a century, billboards have been used to do this – and very successfully too! Because there are now more motorists than ever and traffic is heavier than ever, billboard advertising is still one of the most popular advertising tools out there today.
But it is not just about sticking a picture of your brand up there. The design of your actual billboard has to draw the eye for all the right reasons, while still being able to transmit a certain perception of your brand to the potential consumer to stimulate interest. Billboard design is therefore very important. Here we provide you with some tips on great billboard design that will catch the eye of the right people and encourage them to remember your brand.
- Tell a story: People tend to remember stories better than facts, and because billboards depend on the visual design it is necessary to translate the story through the design, which means that you have to have a design strategy about the story you want to tell with images (mostly) and text (less). An ironic or fun take on current situations that relate to your story can have a big impact, especially if they can generate some laughter or a catchy slogan that is easy to remember. Images are also important and, in fact, they should be the main focus, underlined by the text.
- Less is more: Remember that people driving on highways and roads only have a few seconds to view your billboard, and therefore maximum impact is needed. Focus on an idea that will tell the entire story in about 5 – 7 seconds. 7 Words of text should do the trick.
- Get Noticed: Go big when it comes to images. Loud images with large, easy-to-read text will get the message across a lot easier. Fonts should be easy to read, large and bold. Don’t be afraid to create maximum impact!
- Use colour wisely: While bright colours are noticeable, they have to be within the context of the message. Advertising an established law firm in vivid pink, for instance, may cause confusion about the seriousness of the organisation. Colour attracts, this is for sure, but care has to be taken in terms of the colours and colour combinations used to advertise a brand. Bold colours have to be in the forefront, and duller colours used as a background or setting. Dynamic, active images attract attention, so be sure about the message you want to convey with the colours you use!
- Location, location, location! Not all billboards will carry the same weight. If you have the luxury of using a billboard at a busy crossing, you are able to impart a lot more information to the observer because they will have time to look at it while they sit in their vehicles waiting for the lights to change. Be cognisant of the type of advertising you use and where it is being used. Fly-by billboard advertising on very busy highways will be different to the type of billboard advertising you could choose if you have a lot of stationery vehicles.
If you are unsure about good billboard design and how to harness the power of great billboard design and location, our experts at Face First Media are only too happy to help!

BECOME A BILLBOARD LANDLORD
One of the best ways of earning money from your property or land that is placed close to a highway, busy street or visible crossing is to lease it out to a successful outdoor advertising business. If you own a piece of vacant land at a location with a particularly heavy traffic flow you may have a very real and lucrative opportunity to rent out that property for billboard advertising. There is no need for you to do anything – at Face First Media we visit your site, evaluate your property and assess its possibilities; and because certain types of zoning and permits are required, we take care of that as well. This is a really easy way of earning a substantial residual income from a piece of land or property that would otherwise not be of much use to the property owner. Often people own land facing out over highways or busy streets, but because these environments tend to be noisy and busy, nobody would like to live or build there. Leasing these pieces of land to us will not only boost your income, but also provide Lenash Signs with greater exposure for our clients! At Lenash Signs we are always looking for new, innovative and prominent sites for our billboards. So, if you own property or vacant land next to a busy freeway or perhaps even overlooking a busy intersection, we are keen to hear from you. We regularly rent suitable sites from property owners for the strategic placement of our billboards.
BILLBOARD ADVERTISING COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGES
Use less text: The average driving consumer has only 6 seconds to read a billboard, so they have to be able to comprend your message in a flash. Use only around 6 words, but keep the copy punchy and impressive to make a lasting impression. Don’t distract: While the billboard must be noticed, it must not be distractive or disruptive to traffic. Shocking or provocative images are irresponsible as it could distract drivers and lead to accidents. It is necessary to keep a balance between being noticed and being disruptive. Consider response time: People who drive by a billboard only have a few seconds to perceive the message. This means that there’s no time to write down telephone numbers or memorise website addresses. Rather create a highly powerful brand impression which will ensure that passing consumers are in some way impacted by the brand name and the business purpose, and they will be sure to remember it further down the line. Don’t get clever: Keep billboard colours and messages vibrant and memorable instead of providing viewers with a puzzle to solve. Pay attention to first impressions and how to create an indelible impression with your audience within a few seconds. Use repetition: One billboard is good, but more is better. A message is more memorable when repeated. We can also tell a story in consecutive billboards, e.g. posting a question in the first one that makes people wonder, and then posting the answer in a second, or even a third billboard further down the line. Impress with technology: While static billboards are still effective, modern LED display technologies provide opportunities to animate images, to send out a variety of messages, and to create a visual display that is more memorable than a static billboard poster.

A-Frames
Ideal for use on footpath outside your shop. These are double sided and the most common size is 600mm wide by 900mm high. They can be full colour, or even have a blackboard section on them, allowing you to write different messages on them when required. Another variable message system could be magnetic interchangeable lettering.
Magnetic Signs
Use these on your vehicle when you don’t want to have signage on there all the time. Standard door size signs are around 600mm long by 300mm high. Custom sizes are available. Magnetic signs can also be full colour and include photographic images.
Signs For Fences, Gates and Walls
These can be made from metal, aluminium, corflute, or a number of other substrates. Sizes can vary depending on requirements. Colours and images are unlimited. Ideal for use near an entrance to your premises, to guide your customers in.
Vinyl Banners
Either digitally printed or computer-cut, we manufacture all types of banners, in various sizes and finishes. Our banners are top quality, with all sides hemmed and sewn, also to include rope and/or eyelets. These can be full colour or just a couple of contrasting colours.
Banner Mesh
Another form of vinyl banners. This material is ideal when you need a long sign to run along a fence. It is perforated to allow the wind to pass straight through, so it will not put unnecessary pressure on the fence. These signs could also be hung between posts.
Pull-Up Banners
The main purpose for these signs is for use internally, for conferences, training sessions, boardroom meetings or similar. These signs consist of a roll up banner sign that neatly retracts into the mechanism at the bottom. They are easily transported and come in a compact padded carry bag.
Illuminated Sign Faces
Is your light box sign looking a little tired? We can re-cover your acrylic light box faces to get them shining again. Or we can make brand new faces to fit into your existing light box. All materials we use for these are translucent, to allow the full light source to bring the sign to life at night.
