How to Put a Sign on a Barber Shop Window

 Putting a sign a barber shop window is a excellent way to advertise the services of a barber shop. Many barber shops put signs in the window to advertise specials and shop hours. Signs should have large lettering and be visible from the street. Signs can be installed by the barber shop owner or by a professional sign company.

1. To put a sign in a barber shop window, the store owner or manager must first decide what they wish to advertise on the sign. Signs advertising special deals on haircuts, or an open and closed sign are the most common. It is a good idea to also keep a master list of advertised window specials, so that when customers ask, the staff at the barber shop knows the specials.

2. Barber shop owners and managers can also decide whether to allow other local businesses to place flyers in their window. If a barber shop allows this type of advertising, care should be taken to make sure that the other advertising does not take away from the barber shop itself.

3. Signs can be printed on heavy card stock, by using a personal computer and word processing software. The most common way to affix the sign is by taping it to the window. Signs can also be made by custom sign shops. Using MerchantCircle’s website, www.merchantcircle.com, is a good resource for those wishing to find a custom sign shop.

4. Barber shop owners and managers should also check with city and county code enforcement offices, prior to putting up a sign to check any regulation on sign display. Many cities and counties regulate electronic types of signs and how they can be displayed.
