Improve Your Buisness With a Neon Open Sign

Neon signs are a bright and dazzling way to attract business. A neon “Open” sign, blinking outside a storefront is an effective advertising tool, providing high visibility and traffic to any business. Handcrafted neon signs have been around for hundreds of years, and with the improvement of manufacturing methods over time, open signs are available in plenty of designs and varieties. The classic “OPEN” sign is a rectangle with blue bordering and red lettering.

The latest open signs have more prominent coloring, as the tubes containing the gas are colored with ink. There have been many variations to this, such as barber shops signs sporting a pair of scissors or a blow dryer and a fish food restaurant sign with a fish on it. Really, you can see a sign for just about anything nowadays because the design is only limited to the imagination of the artist making the neon sign. The popularity of the open sign dates back to the strip malls of the immigrant business owners who wanted to let people know that they were open for business. The glowing signs would be visible to the pedestrian traffic as well as car cruisers.

Open signs are also beneficial for businesses when they are open at different times from regular working hours. For example, a coffee shop is open late one chilly Saturday night when people would otherwise assume that they were closed; their glowing sign attracts business. Competition also leads to more sign sales. Two business establishments of a similar field on the same street will both have open signs. If one business does not have a sign, the other one with the neon open sign glowing brightly will invite in potential customers.
