Directories and wayfinding signs are almost a necessity for your office. Not everyone is an expert at navigating your space without a little help. Sometimes you might find visitors are totally lost without a little guidance. Directories and wayfinding signs by Trending Signs guide your visitors to the places they need to be. And your staff have to stop what they’re doing to direct them. By combining certain types of directories and wayfinding signs, you’ll make sure that your visitors know where they’re going from the moment they walk through your doors until they walk back out again.
A Three-Piece Sign Plan
A single directory in your lobby will only do so much to guide your visitors. Make sure that you’re using a combination of signs to get your guests where they’re going.
Directories
The first part of your guiding sign plan is to have directories, as in more than one. A single lobby directory has its limits. People easily forget suite numbers and are going to find it frustrating to return to the lobby just to refresh their memories, especially if they’re on another floor. Combining the main lobby directory with smaller directories on your upper floors will ensure that visitors won’t have to go all the way back to your lobby to figure out where they need to be.
Maps
Maps are a great tool for showing your visitors where they are at the moment and in relation to where they need to be. When you use maps in your building you’re making life easier on your visitors. Wrong turns that wind up at the wrong doors won’t frustrate your visitors.
Directional Arrows
The final step in your perfect guiding sign plan is using directional arrows. These can be used to guide visitors to general areas, like suites 310 through 340, or it can guide visitors to your restrooms and stairwells. This means as people move through your building they won’t be struggling to find your permanent fixtures and necessary spaces. These are also useful in the event of an emergency, showing your staff and guests where the nearest stairwell is located.
