Monument signs are an excellent way to make a powerful first impression for your business. These signs are low to the ground and built to last. Custom monument signs, whether for a single shop or a larger complex, make it easier for customers to discover your location while also giving your brand a professional appearance.
While custom monument signs have been around for a long time, there are now more kinds of monument signs that you can use to advertise your business. Some are great for commercial and residential property owners, while some are best for retail, government, and others.

What are Monument Signs?
Types of Monument Signs You Should Try
Multi-Tenant Monument Signs
These signs can be used like pylon signs, in that they can have multiple businesses advertising on them. They are a great option for commercial property owners who want to bring more attention to the businesses on their property. Monument signs are at an easily readable height and can be placed right next to the road.
Digital Modern Monument Signs
In the digital era, signs don’t need to be static. We can create monument signs that display digital messages, so you can project the image you like. You can also use it to project words, so you can alert the community to your next sale, event, or just catch attention with a joke. The digital part of the sign can be very large, or only big enough for a phrase. It can still have your branding like any other monument sign would.
Digital signs are simple to change and save you on printing costs for new signs. You can change up your message as much as you like and test what works. Plus, with LED lights, they are energy efficient.
Address Custom Monument Signs
Do you own a large residential property? Or do you frequently have things delivered to your location? Then you can make use of an address sign. Making your address sign a monument helps it be seen from the road. And it elevates the feeling of your property. It is the perfect choice for a high-end apartment or condominium.
