LED Sign Regulation

LED signs with motion are effective in attracting attention for advertising and communication purposes.

Some cities have established signage controls for signs that are visible to the public. Most of these regulations apply only to signs that are outside, and usually do not apply to signs that are inside your establishment, even if they are facing people outside, through a window.

Options When Restricted

If your city restricts the use of LED motion signs, you may still have options . . .

	1)	Some cities allow LED sign use, providing you meet certain criteria and/or get a sign permit. Check if this is an option with your city.
	2)	Some cities restrict LED signs if they simulate the effect of motion, but do not restrict stationary, non-moving, LED signs. In this case you can use the LED sign for the display of stationary information, such as your hours, rates, etc.
	3)	If your city restricts all public use of visible scrolling LED signs, you can still use LED signs inside your establishment, as long as the sign is not visible by the outside public. You can use a LED sign to communicate with customers, prospects, students and employees that are inside your business, either waiting for service, browsing, studying, working, etc.
	4)	Think about placing an LED sign above an exit, facing inside, to communicate with people that are leaving, maybe just to thank them for visiting.

LED signs are one of the most effective ways to communicate with clients and prospects, so even if you can only use them inside your establishment, it can still be very effective in helping you meet your goals. Review our LED sign tips for additional LED sign use ideas . . .
