Signage is one of the most important tools in retail execution. It’s not just there to look pretty; it’s a powerful communication tool that drives customer behavior, highlights promotions, and reinforces your brand’s identity.
For retail execution to be successful, consistency is key. According to the International Sign Association, there is a 32.8% increase in foot traffic due to effective and consistent retail signage. Additionally, the Sign Research Foundation reports that 68% of consumers judge a business’s quality based on its signage, proving that it’s more than just decoration—signage shapes perceptions, builds trust, and directly influences purchasing decisions.
For chain businesses, inconsistent signage amplifies disparities, hurting individual store performance and weakening the brand’s reputation. Customers expect the same experience at every location, and even one poorly executed store can ripple through customer perception, leading to lost sales and missed opportunities.
How ProxyPics can help.
Maintaining consistent, compliant signage across all locations doesn’t have to be complicated or costly. We bridge the gap between strategy and execution, ensuring your signage is always on point, compliant, and driving results.
1. Consistency Across Locations
Your signage should look and feel the same everywhere—whether it’s a flagship store in New York or a small-town location. ProxyPics audits your menu boards, gondola displays, window clings, and more to verify proper placement, alignment, and formatting.
2. Catch Issues Early
Missing signs, outdated promotions, or dirty channel letters? We flag them before they impact your sales or brand reputation.
3. Ensure Compliance and Accessibility
We make sure your signage meets ADA and other local requirements, so your stores are welcoming and accessible to everyone.
4. Speedy Campaign Rollouts
Launching a new promotion? Rolling out seasonal updates? We’ll confirm that your signage is correctly displayed across all your locations—on time and on brand.
5. Detailed, Actionable Reports
We don’t just provide photos—we deliver insights. Every ProxyPics survey comes with clear, detailed photos, notes, and a verified site manager’s signature, collected directly through our app. This ensures that every survey is completed thoroughly and signed off by the on-site contact, adding an extra layer of accountability and confirmation.
