A few years ago, we talked about branded customer parking signs. At that time, we focused attention on the type of “Customer Parking Only” sign that is permanently installed at the location. Recently, our team was asked to design and produce portable customer parking signs. They are an excellent option for businesses sharing a parking lot. Here is what they look like.
Case Study: The Neuromuscular Studio
Located in the Warner Professional Plaza in Tempe, The Neuromuscular Studio specializes in medical massage therapy. However, because quite a few businesses are located in the Plaza, the studio kept getting complaints about the difficulty of parking. Because the venue does not support permanent reserved parking signage, the management team opted for portable parking signs instead.
Our team was asked to find the best solution for the location. We opted for designated parking signs with the studio’s name and logo. Concurrently, they identify selected parking spots as reserved. These portable parking signs are easily moved with rollers in the base. Besides that, you can weigh down the base with water or sand to keep them stationary on windy days. If you need temporary designated parking signs, these products are excellent.
Who Needs Movable Customer Parking Signs?
Temporary parking signs serve several valuable purposes to manage and improve parking situations, enhance customer experience, and ensure safety. Even if you do not run a business in a busy plaza with a shared lot, you could improve your customers’ experiences with movable signage.
- Loading and unloading zones. Create designated zones for loading and unloading to facilitate efficient deliveries and prevent congestion around your business premises. It makes the drivers’ jobs more manageable and ensures your inventory items are in your storeroom. When the delivery window closes, move the parking signs inside.
- Event parking. If your business hosts an event or promotion, use temporary parking signs to guide attendees to designated parking areas. Examples include bookstores hosting author signings and art galleries celebrating an opening.
- Temporary construction or maintenance parking. If your business is undergoing construction or maintenance work that affects parking availability, use signs to inform customers and provide alternative parking arrangements. Set up parking spaces for customers as close to the entrance as possible.
- Valet parking. For the company that offers valet parking services temporarily, use signs to indicate the valet drop-off and pick-up points. Besides that, set aside parking spaces where the valets can park the customers’ cars.
- Seasonal parking changes. Adapt parking arrangements based on seasonal changes. For example, allocate more spaces for holiday shopping during the festive season. Alternatively, you may have to direct customers to different parking spots if a tree lot is set up close to your entrance.
Which Portable Customer Parking Signs are Right for Your Location?
Some restaurants have set aside spaces for ride-share pick-up/drop-off and food delivery driver parking. Properly placed and clear signage greatly enhances the overall experience for your customers and visitors while contributing to the smooth operation of your business.
