How To Properly Display 'No Smoking' And 'No Vaping' Signs In Your Business

If you're a small business owner, you probably recognize a need to clearly and consistently communicate to your customers about your business' specific policies. One relatively new policy that many business owners are choosing to implement is a "no vaping" policy. While the law prohibits smoking in or near buildings, there isn't much legislation put in place to control vaping, which is intended to be a safer alternative to smoking, but still affects others in close proximity. If you're considering implementing a 'no vaping' policy, here's how to let your customers know.

Signs:

A 'no vaping' sign is essential if you want to make sure your customers know your business' policies. They should be strategically placed in eye-catching areas. Signs for windows and signs for glass doors are relatively similar, but you need to consider the material you'll be using. Metal display signs are recommended for high visibility and durability. Plastic reusable sign frames are also a good option due to their versatility and weather-proof material. If you're hanging a sign on a window or door, consider using plastic hang tag sleeves to preserve both the quality and lifespan of the sign.

Pedestal Sign Holders:

Pedestal sign holders are one of the best types of sign holders to use specifically for 'no vaping' signs because they are incredibly sturdy. They can be placed at eye level for the most visibility, and they can't easily be knocked over or go unseen. A metal display sign held by a  pedestal sign holder is probably the best combination to use to make sure each and every one of your customers sees and understands the message being displayed. But remember, these signs have to be placed strategically around your storefront or business in order to remain effective. Many customers can miss even the largest and most colorful sign if it isn't placed in a position that naturally catches the eye.


Ultimately, it's important to consider the type of sign and sign holder you'll be using in addition to placement if you want to make sure your customers see your 'no vaping' sign. According to 2014 data, there are 30,000 SKUs launched annually, and without proper technique, any sign can go unseen.
