Business owners realize now more than ever the importance of targeted messaging. Businesses need to deliver different messages through different channels to reach prospective clients.

A-frames are available in multiple sizes, materials and colors. Depending on your need, we offer a wide variety of choices.  Our standard plywood A-boards can be customized with your graphics and logo, and can include a writing surface such as a chalkboard surface so that you can easily change your daily specials.  Our high-density plastic custom A-frames are durable yet lightweight, making them easy to transport to multiple locations. Or, we have a heavy duty aluminum frame sidewalk board that can withstand high wind.  Whatever type or material you choose, we can customize it to fit your branding and message. What type of sandwich board are you looking for?

Many Seattle businesses both small and large, and associations utilize our custom A-frame signs. Here are just a few examples of how businesses can use our affordable custom A-Frame signs and graphics:  

Common uses for a sidewalk sign

• Restaurant owners use these sandwich boards to promote dinner or lunch specials or upcoming events.
• Used by retail stores to advertise sales and other bargains.
• Hair salons tell potential customers they accepts walk-ins.
• Directional signage - public parking lots use A-boards to direct the flow of traffic or notify patrons of a full lot.
• Property managers use curb signs for promoting an apartment for rent.
• Religious organizations use A-boards to announce church services or other events.
• Realtors use sidewalk signs to advertise an open house or house for sale. 

A-frame signboards have been historically used by restaurants to display menu items or daily specials on pavement or curbside. But now retailers and other associations have caught on to the effectiveness of these portable displays.  You can see A-boards just about anywhere in Seattle these days.  Sandwich boards, used both indoor and outdoor can be seen in shopping malls, in public parking lots, at sporting events, even schools. The large size and ease of portability make these a-frames are a fairly inexpensive alternative to large billboard printing, or media advertising. 

Sandwich boards are efficient, changeable, weather-resistant (or in some cases entirely weatherproof) and are incredibly useful in marketing your products or services. Our staff at McNamara Signs can help you create pavement signage for any kind or retail establishment.
