25% More Foot Traffic for Business Signs (Business, Contractor, Service Categories)
Excelkc.com (,,) claims signage increases foot traffic, citing industry trends but not specific studies. A 2017 Alphagraphics.com post () mentions signage boosting customer visits but doesn’t quantify “25%.” BrandonGaille.com () notes outdoor signage’s effectiveness, citing general revenue increases. A 2015 University of Cincinnati study found that adding or updating business signs increased sales by 7.7% on average, suggesting foot traffic gains are plausible but lower than 25%. The “25%” figure appears to be an optimistic extrapolation rather than a directly sourced datum.

Visibility and Location
Place signs where they'll catch the most eyes - high-traffic intersections, busy streets, and areas with good sight lines work best. Position signs perpendicular to traffic flow so drivers can read them easily. Avoid placing signs too close together, which creates visual clutter and reduces individual impact.
Physical Placement
Install signs at eye level for your target audience - typically 3-4 feet high for pedestrians, slightly higher for vehicle traffic. Ensure signs are sturdy and won't blow over in wind or weather. Use proper stakes or frames that can handle local weather conditions.
