Crafting To Save Money

Following directions and receiving guidance helps children thrive and stay organized. If you own a store or family establishment like an entertainment center or play park, you want to give children easy directions to follow. One way to create proper directions is with vinyl floor graphics. The graphics will help guide a child to different areas.

When you order the graphics, follow some tips to get the most out of the designs.

Use Visual Illustrations

Children's reading levels vary by age, so you cannot assume anything when placing text on vinyl floor graphics. When you plan out your graphics, try to stick to illustrations. For example, if you have a socks-only area of your business, you could showcase graphics of a shoe with a circular symbol crossing out the shoe.

If you have bathrooms, then use floor graphics to clearly designate a girl's room or a boy's room. If you have a store, vinyl floor graphics can help children and parents navigate to different areas like books and toys.

Use Arrows

Sometimes the simplest designs will work best with families. If you have one-way lanes or specific directions for an area, consider the use of arrows. Arrows will point people in the right direction and guests of all ages will tend to follow the arrows around. Ideally, you want arrow floor graphics that stand out from the rest of your flooring.

If you have light-colored flooring, then consider dark colors for the arrows. You could also place arrow designs within a larger shape to create more contrast and easy visuals. For example, you could place arrow designs inside a circular graphic shape.

Friendly Reminders

As parents bring their children to your business, you may want to use floor signs as friendly safety reminders. For example, you may have an area where no strollers are allowed. Simple graphics at the start point of a no-stroller zone will help inform parents.

If you have raised areas that present the risk of tripping, then vivid graphics will draw a parent's attention and avoid accidents. Also, use floor graphics to easily point parents towards bathrooms or changing stations.

Business Branding

For any of your custom signs, you should consider business branding. Branding will help connect all the signs with similar themes and establish your business in the mind of your customers. Add your logo to every sign you have, and use your business colors within the design theme.

The branding will help the signs go with the overall flow of your business and leave an impression on anyone who attends.
