Salon Bleu is home to top stylists who transform any do from so-so to wow. In addition to the salon’s stellar customer service, the location of the Salon Bleu is convenient for pedestrians and motorists alike. When it was time to add an exterior sign that met the city’s requirements, the management staff contacted the signage experts at Starfish Signs & Graphics.
Exterior Sandblasted Signs
In an effort to preserve San Clemente’s small-town look and feel, city officials have begun regulating signage for its merchants. In a charming setting, the right signage enhances the area’s atmosphere and invites shoppers to linger. For this reason, sandblasted signage is now a requirement. We worked with the signage material and masked off the areas that are to stand out.
The salon’s name, a frame around the board, and a bit of subliminal artwork were masked before sandblasting. These areas now stand out with a 3D effect. The backdrop features a dark wood-grain look that allows the black subliminal design to almost disappear. The name Salon Bleu stands out with vivid blue color. We mounted the sign on an inverted “L” shaped post where it now hangs like a shingle, which is quite reminiscent of old European business signs.
Setting the Stage for Customer Experiences with Your Signs
Our professionals work with numerous business owners in the San Clemente area. We help them display signage that meets official requirements and effectively markets and brands their venues. Doing so has led to a positive change in the shopping experiences of those living in the area or visiting.
- Small town feel. The absence of channel letters and box cabinet signs shifts the commercial appeal toward smaller stores and service businesses. It creates a sense of closeness within the business community that mimics the look you would expect in an old-world village.
- Fitting in with the local vibe. Beach cities frequently feature buildings in Spanish Colonial architecture and its associated style. In fact, San Clemente is known as the “Spanish Village by the Sea.” It makes sense for signs to pick up on those architectural looks and accentuate them.
- Expressing the unique nature of the store. When there are no big-box stores or franchises that demand big-city signage, highlighting the unique character of a commercial establishment attracts consumer interest. This results in more foot traffic and provides you with the opportunity to turn more shoppers into buyers.
