Creative Ways to Use Commercial Real Estate Signs and Banners
By Graphic Impact – Tucson’s Leader in Signage Solutions Since 1989

In the fast-paced world of commercial real estate, visibility is everything. Whether you’re selling, leasing, or promoting a development, your signage is often the first impression potential clients get. At Graphic Impact, we know that signs and banners aren’t just informational tools—they’re powerful marketing assets. While traditional “For Sale” and “For Lease” signs are staples of the industry, there are also many unique and creative ways to use commercial real estate signage that can set your listings apart.

Here are some of the most effective—and some surprising—ways to use real estate signs and banners to drive attention and results.

1. Traditional Property Listing Signs

This is the bread and butter of commercial real estate signage. Our full-color, weather-resistant signs can be placed in front of properties to advertise availability, price, leasing details, and broker contact information. Large-format panels on metal posts or E-panel boards are among the most durable and professional solutions for long-term exposure.

2. Coming Soon Banners

Creating buzz before a property even hits the market can generate early interest and build momentum. “Coming Soon” banners placed at the property site or along high-traffic roads alert passersby and build anticipation for a development, renovation, or business opening.

3. Zoning Notice and Public Hearing Signs

Many municipalities require visual signage to notify the public of rezoning applications or public hearings. Graphic Impact produces easy-to-read and regulation-compliant zoning signs that meet local guidelines while also enhancing your company’s image with branded elements.

4. Wayfinding and Site Navigation Signs

For large developments or open houses, clear wayfinding is essential. Temporary signs can direct traffic, identify parking, or guide visitors through a construction site or real estate event. These directional signs can be both functional and branded to reinforce your company identity.

5. Leasing Opportunity Window Graphics

Instead of a freestanding sign, consider using the storefront itself. We create custom vinyl window graphics that advertise leasing opportunities and highlight property features. It’s a sleek and modern alternative that maximizes existing real estate without needing permits.

6. Banners for Events and Broker Open Houses

Hosting a broker luncheon or grand opening? Bold, eye-catching banners can invite attention and make your event stand out. Whether mounted on buildings, fences, or retractable stands, banners provide flexible and reusable options for marketing.

7. Fence Mesh Banners for Construction Sites

Fence mesh banners serve a dual purpose—they help screen off construction areas for safety and aesthetics while promoting the future tenants or property features. Graphic Impact produces full-color, large-format mesh banners that are wind-resistant and perfect for long-term outdoor use.

8. Custom “Build to Suit” and “Space Available” Signs

Generic signage doesn’t always capture the opportunity of a property. A custom-designed “Build to Suit” or “Design Your Space” banner with visuals of potential layouts or mockups can help prospects envision the possibilities.

9. QR Code Integration

Add QR codes to your signs that link to virtual tours, contact forms, or listing details. This tech-forward approach engages today’s digital-savvy buyers and tenants and captures leads directly from the sign.

10. Nighttime-Readable Backlit Signs

Don’t let your marketing go dark when the sun goes down. Backlit or LED-lit signs are ideal for properties with evening traffic. These signs ensure your message is visible 24/7 and can make a big impression.
