If people walk or drive past your shop without noticing it, you’re losing customers every day. The good news: outdoor signage doesn’t need to be expensive. Here are the most popular options for small businesses, and when each one works best.
Correx boards
Lightweight, weatherproof corrugated plastic printed in full colour. Great for temporary signs, property and school events, directions and window signs. Correx boards from R350.
Sandwich boards (A-boards)
A two-sided pavement sign you put out each morning and bring in at night. Perfect for shops, salons and cafés that want to catch foot traffic. Our steel sandwich board is R1,430 with two printed inserts, and you can swap in new inserts for a new promotion for R600 a pair.
Fence banners
Tough PVC banners with eyelets that tie onto a fence, wall or scaffolding. The most affordable way to put a big message where lots of cars pass. Fence banners from R350.
A-frame banners
A large, free-standing frame with a printed banner on both sides, ideal for events, sports fields and roadside promotions. A-frame banners from R2,540.
Feather banners
Tall moving flags that grab attention from the road. See our feather banner guide.
