Custom Signs for Ronaldo R9 Academy in Tampa, FL

Exterior/Outdoor sign for R9 Acedemy — Exterior/Outdoor sign for R9 Academy

Project Overview

Customer acquired new franchise for R9 Ronaldo Academy (soccer school) to open in Tampa, FL. During the on-boarding process they reached out to Signs Insight for assistance on their custom signs. Inauguration date was planned for July 22^nd 2017.
Our design team requested their franchisor the documentation for their branding requirements and image gallery, and started to work on the project.
Once the customer had settled for a location, we visited the place with them and discussed their sign needs. The project consisted in entrance signs (rigid and banners), court and building banners (16 total), routed 3D signs for their office space and indoors court, and paper posters for indoor use. We also performed the installation for all their materials.

The design process

We followed their branding manual for creating all the necessary signage. Branding requirements relate to things such as which colors can be used, logo application, sign design and elements positioning, shared imagery, fonts etc.
We designed all their signs and submitted for approval. Once the franchisor gave us the OK for all the materials, we moved them into our in-house production.

Rigid Signs

For certain locations with great exposure, we chose to manufacture higher-quality rigid signs. Materials used were Latex-printed 3M IJ35 vinyl with 3M Luster overlaminate, applied over Dibond (MaxMetal). Dibond is a compound made out of PVC inside and aluminum outside. We also mounted the entrance rigid sign with stand-off mounts on an existing wooden frame that we painted black. We also used the same materials for a sign we installed on the roof and on the main building wall.

Routed Signs

We chose to create custom routed signs in their main office and indoors courts, so it would give their logo a 3D effect. Due to budget constraints, we opted for a thick foam core material and applied the same latex-printed 3M vinyl with luster ovelaminate on top. Letters were painted white with an oil-based paint.

Flexible Banners

We produced 16 custom banners in multiple sizes, from 6’ x 18’ all the way down to 3’ x 8’. The larger banners were installed on their main building walls, and the others around both courts (fences and metal structures).

The banners were also Latex-printed on high-quality 13 Oz gloss material, stitched edges and grommets applied every 24” for best installation.

Paper Posters

Paper Posters were used to decorate the main event room and to cover certain graphics temporarily that were not approved for all audiences (liquor advertisement etc). They varied in size (some also being fairly large), and applied to the walls and windows with double-sided tape.

Installation

The installation process took around 10 hours due to the installation height of certain banners and signs. We were able to complete the process successfully and on time for their open house.

Total project timeline

From the initial design process to manufacturing and installation, total time for this project was about 10 business days. We had a lot of fun working on their materials and we are pleased with the end results.

Custom Outdoor and Exterior Signs in Tampa, FL

The Benefits of Custom Outdoor and Exterior Signs

As anyone else would tell you, the most important thing for a business is not the profit, nor does the business model optimization, nor the workflow process. All of those will only happen if you receive the much needed recognition after you have raised awareness of your brands. While online marketing has grown quite a lot over the past decade, a huge amount of the promotion and advertising is still done on a physical level.
You would want to use the marketing expenses efficiently to raise your brand’s awareness, and the only way to do so is through an innovative and custom advertisement. One of the best possible solutions to that would be the utilization of custom outdoor signs. Simply buying a billboard in a vital location, where a lot of traffic passes on a daily basis is not enough, the message put there must be comprehensible and catchy. Therefore, we have decided to create a list of the benefits of custom outdoor signs and what you should do with them.

The Type of Outdoor Sign

The process starts when a person chooses which type of outdoor sign he would want to take advantage of. There are those which are put high up in the air. There are those which are mounted on the ground or mounted on a building. Each of them has a different purpose and lead to different results.

Choose the Right Location

Choosing the right location to put your custom outdoor sign is essential to make it work. Obviously putting a cigarette billboard next to a school yard should not only be forbidden but even if it’s allowed it will hold no particular results and will have the negative effect of bad public image.
Focus on a location with a good amount of traffic where people would look at your custom outdoor sign. That will raise your conversion level by quite a lot. When you compare this approach to the online or electronic media, the outdoor ads actually tend to capture and hold the attention of a person for much longer. People stuck in traffic don’t have much to do, and whether it’s out of curiosity or out of boredom, they will generally read anything around them to kill the time.

Build Your Brand Awareness

Choosing the message and the sign is essential to how the public will perceive you. There is a reason to opt into the utilization of custom outdoor signs as you could design it in any way you wish. You certainly don’t want to experience brand fails such as the recent ones with Pepsi and Kendall Jenner. Custom outdoor signs allow you to perfectly tailor it per your desires and reach the exact audience which you are going for as efficiently as possible.
Remember that advertising is the silent sales person of the company. Be sure to properly manage him, and you will, without a doubt, reap great results.
