A FRAME SIGNS: A cost effective way to draw attention.

A frame signs are essential for the growth of any retail, commercial, or food service business. For many small businesses, it is essential to garner attention by placing sandwich boards and a frame signs out in front of the establishment, like on the sidewalk, or right outside an entrance. This gives the friendly impression that all are welcome inside your store or cafe. A sidewalk sign also promotes a daily special, an upcoming event, or even advertises a popular brand that a passerby may not have realized was sold there otherwise. Unlike seeing an advertisement in the newspaper, or hearing a sponsored commercial on the radio, these shoppers are already there; so catching them as they walk by can be highly effective and beneficial to gaining more profits.
