Signage Preplanning: Consistency & Responsiveness with Every Sign Program

Addressing the Pain Points in Sign Programs

Sign programs are critical to businesses for brand visibility and recognition. Yet, many organizations grapple with a litany of challenges from permitting issues, failure to comply with local ordinances, inconsistent design, branding issues, installation problems, to a glaring lack of brand standards. If these resonate with you, you're not alone. The good news is, these issues can be prevented with proper pre-planning, spearheaded by a seasoned national sign company.

The Value of Pre-Planning in Sign Programs


Pre-planning is a critical phase of any sign program. It's the stage where we map out the project scope, anticipate challenges, align design with branding, and ensure compliance with local regulations.


National Sign Team treats this phase with utmost seriousness. We believe that through thorough pre-planning, most sign project issues can be preemptively addressed, leading to a smooth execution and successful completion.

Our Proven Pre-Planning Process for Sign Programs

At National Sign Team, our pre-planning process for sign programs involves several key steps:


  1. Initial Surveys: We kick-start the process with an in-depth survey of your requirements, understanding your brand essence, your vision, and your audience's perception.
  2. Inventory of Onsite Signage: We take stock of existing onsite signage to ensure consistency in brand messaging and compliance with local ordinances.
  3. Developing a Brand Book: Our team works diligently to develop a comprehensive brand book that encapsulates your brand guidelines and aesthetics for signs.
  4. Manufacturing Reviews and Requirements: This step involves a careful review of manufacturing requirements, quality checks, and inspection to ensure each sign reflects your brand identity flawlessly.
  5. Budgetary Reviews: We perform thorough budgetary reviews to ensure that the project aligns with your financial expectations without compromising on quality or aesthetics.
  6. Project Milestones: We identify and communicate milestones for superior project tracking and 24/7 project updates
