Amidst the busy streets of Hong Kong, we found this LED light box sign by China Unicom. It was a small LED light box that hangs on the wall outside of the shop and although unnoticeable during the day, it definitely makes an attractive signage at night.

LED Light Box Sign – Why You Need it Too

  • Stand Out In the Dark: This is especially important for retail stores to stand out when it’s dark out. Customers will be able to spot your retail shop easier with a hanging light up sign box. In this case, China Unicom was able to attract customers from all directions because this branded light box simply shines bright amidst the bustling crowd.

 

  • Practical: It is a fantastic investment that a business can use long-term. The benefits far outweigh the initial cost of production and set up.

 

  • Simple Designs Are Effective: While it is great to have eye-catching elaborate displays to drive store traffic, simple designs with clear messages are still preferred by more businesses for commuter advertising. This is because most commuters and shoppers are in a hurry to actually pay attention to your display. As such, advertisements should be straightforward and easy to understand, just like what China Unicom did with their hanging LED light box sign.

 

What is also great about LED is that it is energy-efficient. Meaning, it has minimal consumption than Neon, which is another popular signage option. Our previous blog, LED vs Neon signs will give you an idea as to which option is more effective and will give more value for money.

Moreover, there are so many design options when it comes to designing your LED POS display and signages. Below is a wonderful example from Marlboro. It is a standalone LED display found outside a store in Tokyo.
