A customer’s first impressions of your business are formed long before they step through your door. A window display showcasing your summer collection is a great way to invite passersby into your shop, but your creative efforts will be undermined if the shopfront itself isn’t in the best condition. With the summer holidays now only a few weeks away, it is the time to refresh your premises and offer your customers a warm welcome with our commercial painting services.

Refresh Faded Paint

On a busy high street, your shop front has only a few seconds to capture your target markets’ attention and show them exactly why they should pick your business.

Great prices, useful products, and a USP are of course important, but is the paintwork playing its part too? It should be bright, bold, and in keeping with the visual identity of your brand, not faded, peeling, or outdated in any way.

If your paint has seen better days, then a new coat could be exactly what your customers need to help them make up their minds. Call us in today for specialist commercial painting services to brighten up your building in time for your first customers of summer.

Tackle Scuffs and Marks

When faced with the choice between a few different shops all offering the same products, the final decision often comes down to the details, so don't overlook any scuffs or marks around your shop’s façade this summer; your customers certainly won’t.

Whether they have been caused by repeated foot traffic, unpleasant weather, or simply the wear and tear that comes with age, in the mind of a potential customer, these small details can subtly influence their perception of your shop.

A scuffed, worn-down threshold can make your entire entrance (and therefore business) look dilapidated, so tackle these marks today and spruce up your window frames, doors, and walls with paint that will withstand the elements.

Improve External Signage

Your customers should be able to tell exactly what goods are on offer and what unique shopping experience awaits them before they even set foot inside your shop. To deliver this information without forcing them to stop or even slow down, you need to reach out with your branding and introduce them to your business all within a first glance.

Whether you have a hanging sign with your shop name, logo, and date of establishment painted on, or a large storefront sign above the door, having the lettering repainted will help it stand out from all the way down the street. With clear, legible signs, prospective customers can identify your business from further away, so don’t miss this cost-effective opportunity to connect with passersby.

Or, if you have lots of window space going spare, why not have your logo added to the glass with multi-surface paint or custom vinyls?

Wallpaper The Interior

Before you open your doors to the public this summer, head back inside and look around the interior of your shop.

Try not to focus on whether you should switch the summer displays around or choose a different centrepiece: instead, look closely at the permanent decor with a critical eye. Are there any peeling corners or tiny tears in the wallpaper that will distract from your products? Or, even if the wallpaper is damage-free, are those walls contributing to the shop’s atmosphere? Or are they plain, uninspiring, and easy to overlook?

Show your customers that you care about the little details with vibrant wallpaper that aligns both with your brand, and reflects the premium quality of service that you provide.

Update Visual Branding

You don’t want your customers to choose your business based upon the branding they have seen outside, only to feel like they've stepped into a completely different shop once they’re inside.

Your decor choices should remain consistent across your shopfront and interior to emphasise the cohesion of your brand, with a uniform colour palette, patterns, and even font used across all surfaces.

If your brand colours have changed at any point since last summer, then finish up your redecorating project and give your entire shop a new lease of life with our full painting and decorating packages.
