Why Now Open Signs & Graphics Are Essential

Now Open window clings and banners designed by MSE Printing

Launching a new business is an exciting milestone—and one of the most powerful ways to announce your arrival is through high-impact 'Now Open' signage. These signs do more than simply inform the public that your doors are open—they build anticipation, convey your brand personality, and establish your presence in the neighborhood. Effective signage sparks curiosity, creates buzz, and gives your business the visibility it needs to thrive from day one. At MSE Printing, we design and produce custom 'Now Open' signs and graphics that not only attract attention but also align perfectly with your brand. Whether you’re a boutique retailer, a new restaurant, a franchise location, or a service provider setting up shop, our signage solutions are tailored to help you make a memorable first impression and draw in your ideal audience.

From bold building banners and vibrant sidewalk signs to window decals and vehicle graphics, every touchpoint is an opportunity to captivate potential customers and direct foot traffic to your space. High-quality 'Now Open' signage sends a clear message: you’re professional, prepared, and ready to serve the community. Strategically placed signs can generate significant footfall, build local recognition, and support other launch efforts like grand opening events or media coverage. In addition, collaborating with local businesses or placing signs at high-traffic areas off-site expands your reach even further. Whether you’re launching a pop-up, a flagship location, or a franchise expansion, compelling graphics can transform your opening week into a powerful brand-building campaign. Here's how our signs help turn a soft launch into a strong market entry:

Immediate Attraction - First impressions are everything, and bold, professionally designed 'Now Open' banners, flags, and window clings make sure you’re seen. These visuals catch the eye of drivers, walkers, and nearby residents, sparking curiosity and encouraging spontaneous visits. At MSE Printing, we use vibrant inks, high-contrast layouts, and oversized formats to command attention from a distance. Whether hung across a storefront, displayed on a sidewalk, or installed on fences and posts, these signs instantly broadcast your grand opening and invite people to explore what’s new in their area.
Brand Consistency - Your 'Now Open' graphics should reflect the same professionalism and design language you plan to use across all your future branding. Maintaining consistent logos, typography, and color palettes helps build trust and familiarity from the start. This visual alignment makes your brand feel established and polished, even if you're brand new to the block. Our design team ensures that your opening signage serves as an extension of your long-term identity, reinforcing brand recognition from day one and carrying that momentum into your permanent signage, marketing materials, and online presence.
Heightened Visibility - Location is only part of the equation—being *seen* at your location is equally important. That’s where signage placement and design strategy come into play. Our team helps you identify the best places to install signs for maximum exposure, whether it’s curbside banners, sandwich boards, window displays, or light pole flags. We consider pedestrian and vehicle traffic patterns, sightlines, and lighting conditions to ensure your message gets noticed during all hours of operation. We also offer reflective or illuminated sign options for nighttime visibility, extending your exposure well beyond business hours.
Professional Look - Your opening is your business debut—make it count. Professionally designed and printed signage conveys credibility and attention to detail, signaling that you’re a serious, well-prepared operation. High-resolution graphics, quality materials, and clean installations create a strong sense of confidence among potential customers. Whether you're in retail, food service, healthcare, or hospitality, your signage should reflect your level of commitment and readiness. We help ensure your opening visuals elevate your space, spark excitement, and communicate that you're ready to serve with excellence from day one.
Cross-Promotion - Expanding your reach beyond your storefront can dramatically increase the success of your launch. Partnering with neighboring businesses, community centers, local gyms, or event organizers to display your 'Now Open' signage gives you access to built-in audiences who may not have otherwise discovered your business. We can design co-branded signs, handout materials, or directional signage that guides people from off-site locations to your door. Whether it’s a local farmers market, art walk, or sidewalk fair, placing promotional signage in key community zones helps build word-of-mouth and positions your business as a welcomed addition to the local landscape.

FAQs About Now Open Signs & Graphics

Q: What types of “Now Open” signage are most effective?

A: The most effective 'Now Open' signage depends on your business type, location, and customer flow, but in general, combining multiple sign formats ensures maximum visibility. Large outdoor vinyl banners are a go-to for storefronts—they offer big impact with customizable messaging and weather-resistant durability. Window decals and perforated graphics are great for street-level foot traffic, allowing you to create full-color displays without obstructing interior light or visibility. Sidewalk signs like A-frames or sandwich boards draw in passersby and can be updated with daily specials or countdowns to your grand opening. Feather flags and blade banners offer vertical motion that catches the eye of drivers and pedestrians alike. For high-traffic areas, yard signs or pole-mounted displays can serve as directional signage, guiding people to your location. Layering these tools not only increases visibility but creates multiple touchpoints that reinforce your message and generate buzz around your opening.

Q: How soon should I order my grand opening signs?

A: We recommend beginning the planning process for your grand opening signage at least three to four weeks ahead of your opening date. This allows ample time for consultation, design, revisions, proof approval, production, and—if needed—shipping or installation. Custom signs, such as large-format banners, flags, or window graphics, require coordination to ensure alignment with your branding and intended placement. Starting early ensures you’re not rushed, gives you flexibility to adjust the design, and prevents potential delays that could impact your opening event. If you’re on a tighter timeline, don’t worry—our team at MSE Printing offers expedited services for select products and will work with you to meet critical deadlines without sacrificing quality.

Q: Can I reuse my “Now Open” signage for future events or promotions?

A: Yes, many of our 'Now Open' sign solutions are designed for reuse, especially when crafted from high-quality, weather-resistant materials. Vinyl banners with grommets, PVC or coroplast yard signs, and freestanding A-frames are all examples of signage that can be stored and reused for seasonal reopenings, temporary pop-up shops, anniversary events, or promotional campaigns. If you anticipate using the signs repeatedly, we recommend avoiding specific dates or time-sensitive messaging. Instead, consider adding modular elements—like swappable panels or dry-erase surfaces—for flexible customization in future uses. We can also provide banner stands and storage bags to help preserve your signage between uses, keeping it looking crisp and professional year after year.

Q: Do you offer installation services for large “Now Open” banners?

A: Yes, for businesses located in the Minneapolis area, we offer professional installation services for large banners, window graphics, wall decals, and exterior signage. Our experienced team ensures proper placement, secure mounting, and clean alignment so your signage looks polished and performs effectively. Whether it's a building banner secured between poles, vinyl applied to large windows, or flags anchored to the sidewalk, we handle the logistics so you can focus on your launch. If you're outside our service area, we’ll provide detailed mounting instructions, recommend installation materials, and advise on best practices—such as choosing the right wall anchors or tensioning methods to withstand wind and weather. No matter your location, we ensure you're set up for success.

Q: Can I add my social media handles or website to the “Now Open” sign?

A: Absolutely. In fact, including your social media handles, website URL, QR codes, or even a short call-to-action (like 'Follow us for updates!' or 'Order online today!') is a smart way to connect with customers beyond the initial visit. These additions not only make your signage more informative, but also create opportunities for ongoing engagement, especially for people who may not stop in immediately but want to learn more. Our design team will ensure these digital elements are seamlessly integrated into the layout—visually balanced and easy to read without cluttering the main message. We can also create signage specifically for social promotion, such as photo-worthy backdrops, hashtags, or referral incentives to build momentum both online and offline during your grand opening.
