A signage strategy audit helps you understand what is working and what is not  working across your existing retail network.

 

If you feel your signage is inconsistent, overly complex, costly to manage, or misaligned with your brand, the Signage Strategy Audit can help identify the root causes prior to deciding on your new direction.

​

Audits can be undertaken before a rebrand to guide scope and priorities, or after a rebrand to assess how effectively the new identity is being applied. The outcome is a clear set of findings and recommendations that allow you to address problems with confidence and invest in signage improvements with purpose rather than guesswork.

Signage Strategy Development

A signage strategy provides the foundation for every signage decision across your retail network. It clarifies what messages are required, where they should appear, how they should behave across different site types, and which elements are essential versus optional.

​

By establishing this framework upfront, signage becomes easier to design, easier to manage, and easier to roll out consistently. The result is a system that supports your brand, controls cost, and adapts as your network evolves.

Site Analysis

Identify how customers approach and "read" your sites
​
Address visibility issues before they become costly mistakes
​
Make informed signage decisions based on real-world conditions
Analysis1.png

Site analysis ensures signage decisions are grounded in how each location truly operates. Rather than relying solely on drawings or assumptions, this process examines approach paths, sightlines, building form, and environmental conditions that influence how signage is seen and understood.

​

This allows signage placement and hierarchy to be tailored to each site’s realities, improving clarity for customers and reducing the risk of ineffective or redundant signage.

3D Site Modelling

3D presentation visuals allow you to review signage in context before construction begins. These visuals are designed to test scale, placement, and hierarchy, rather than to act as marketing imagery.

​

They support clearer discussions, faster approvals, and more confident decision-making — helping you identify potential issues early and reduce uncertainty later in the process.

Signage guidelines turn strategy into a practical, repeatable system. They define how signage should be designed, applied, and adapted across different store formats while maintaining consistency.

​

Clear guidelines reduce reliance on individual interpretation, minimise variation between sites, and make future delivery faster and more controlled — even when multiple suppliers are involved.

​

Whilst guidelines documents cannot replace professional expertise in every situation, they establish a baseline of conformance that minimises network drift from the brand integrity. 

SERVICES

Site Surveys

Site surveys provide the accurate, on-site information needed to move confidently from design to delivery. Dimensions, substrates, services, access, and fixing conditions are verified to ensure signage solutions are practical and buildable.

​

This step helps prevent avoidable changes during manufacture or installation, protecting both programme timelines and budgets.

Technical construction design translates signage concepts into detailed, build-ready documentation.

 

Drawings define construction methods, fixing systems, structural considerations, and how signage integrates with the building fabric.

​

This level of detail ensures signage can be delivered safely, accurately, and consistently — without reliance on assumptions or on-site improvisation.

Tender & Construction 

Site surveys provide the accurate, on-site information needed to move confidently from design to delivery. Dimensions, substrates, services, access, and fixing conditions are verified to ensure signage solutions are practical and buildable.
