Open Signs for Business

The Louvre got jacked this week. Real heist. Guys on Vespas tearing through Paris traffic with a hundred million in jewels and probably the best adrenaline rush of their lives. I can't stop thinking about it—the chaos, the absolute commitment. So today, at my local café, I decided to inch by inch slowly cut someone in line.

Did I get caught? Obvi. But for about twenty seconds, I felt it—the illicit pulse of victory. The same thing those thieves must've felt as they peeled off into the Paris milieu. On the news, I noticed the Louvre had these gorgeous we're open signs. At SF Bay Signs, we make museum-grade we're open signs just like that—clean, sharp, and built to outlast the next great heist.

Open Signs for Business Frequently Asked Questions

What is an open for business sign?

An open for business sign tells potential customers that you're ready to serve them. Whether it's a simple window decal, a bold vinyl banner, or a freestanding A-frame, these signs are essential for attracting business.

They're especially important for new businesses, seasonal businesses, or locations with irregular hours where it may not be obvious when you are and are not open.

How does an open sign for business work?

An open sign removes uncertainty by showing customers at a glance that they are free to walk in, browse, or schedule an appointment.

The placement, size, and design influence how well these signs work. We suggest placing yours near entrances, along sidewalks, or facing busy streets to maximize visibility. Bright colors, bold fonts, and high contrast help attract foot traffic.

Can I customize these signs for my business?

Customizing an open sign for business is what we do best. You can design yours with your logo, brand colors, fonts, and messaging. We'll take it from there and bring your vision to life.

Our online design tool makes it quick and easy to create the perfect look, and we have customer service and design experts on standby to assist at any step of the process.

What to say instead of "we are open for business"?

An open for business sign doesn't have to be complicated. If you want to stand out with a more unique message, try one of these:

  • "Now Serving [Your City]" - Great for restaurants and service businesses.
  • "Step Inside - We're Open!" - A warm, inviting message.
  • "Open & Ready to Help" - Ideal for service-based businesses.
  • "Doors Open - Come On In!" - High-energy for retail stores and cafes.
  • "Grand Opening - Welcome In!" - Perfect for new businesses.

Can these signs stay outdoors?

It depends on the material you use, but generally speaking, yes. Aluminum signs, A-frames, vinyl banners, and mesh banners are all safe for outdoor use. However, foam boards, window decals, and static clings should be placed inside or at least covered.

How long do open signs for business last?

It varies based on the material in question. Where the open for business sign is installed and how it's cared for will dictate longevity. Here's a quick look at different materials:

  • Aluminum signs: 5+ years
  • Vinyl banners: 2-5 years
  • A-frames: 3-5 years
  • Foam board: 6 months to 1 year
  • Corrugated plastic: 6 months to 2 years

Are these signs easy to install?

Yes, they don't require much setup at all. A-frames can be unfolded and propped up on the sidewalk. Yard signs can be staked into the ground, while banners can be hung with grommets, bungee cords, or zip ties. Aluminum signs are typically mounted with screws, adhesive, or mounting brackets. Ask our team for installation tips if you're unsure.

Are they safe for the environment?

Many of our signs are recyclable or reusable, like those made from aluminum. A-frames are also great because they use interchangeable inserts to reduce waste. Even vinyl banners can be repurposed for future promotions. We use eco-friendly UV inks for your open sign for business, minimizing our environmental footprint.
