Marquee signs at schools are unique in combining safety, wayfinding, and brand-building with advertising messages. Best of all, this signage is fully customizable, which lets you underscore your facility’s character and overall atmosphere. Here is what we mean.
Engage with Students, Parents, and Community Members at the Street Level
In the past, adults or students from numerous classes had to rely on handouts, emails, and phone messages. With a modified post and panel setup, your school can present this information to passersby, parents who drop off kids, and students themselves. In this setup, the marquee becomes part of the building sign.
Most importantly, the two-sided signage addresses passersby walking up from either side of the sidewalk. In this way, school marquee signs welcome students and faculty members to the first day of school, feature the school’s mascot, highlight athletic events, and increase whole-school engagement on any number of special occasions.
Inform Quickly, Concisely, and Predictably with Wall-Mounted Marquee Signage
Did you know that you can mount marquee signs on street-facing walls and those facing an inner court or playground? In addition to displaying all the information students and caregivers need, the signs on the interior walls can be fully targeted to the student body. Inform about school closures, build school pride, and remind of deadlines and school-wide tests.
It is interesting to note that you do not have to invest in digital marquee signs that showcase a rainbow of colors. Fewer colors are perfectly fine in many cases, particularly when facing the playground. Because the goal is quick communication of anything that affects learners, these signs work very well, even in single colors.
Marquee Pylon Signs Do Double Duty as Building Signage
If you are looking for easy ways to save money on signage but also want to communicate with anyone passing by, we recommend the marquee pylon. It is tall, allows for the display of your school’s name and logo, and lets you feature any message you want to get out. Highlight the qualities you focus on when teaching, or remind parents of the upcoming fundraiser.
Heighten the impression you make by placing the sign in the drop-off area, between flag poles, or in front of a mesh fence banner that pays closer attention to any brand aspect you showcase on the sign. This signage combination is budget-friendly and highly effective.
Outdoor Letter Boards or Marquee Signs at Schools?
The letter board is yesterday’s technology. A staff member would have to go out, spell out the message, and limit what you could say to the letters and numerals you had. Marquee signs are electronic. You change the message from anywhere you are. You are not bound by a limited number of digits and letters. Most importantly, you can introduce colors and images.
Marquees let you publicize students’ achievements, remind the community of the fundraiser, build awareness of the band camp that is coming up, and highlight the athletic teams your school has. Call our shop today to find out more!
