High value stock sitting out in the open needs high impact signage to direct highway traffic, build buyer confidence, and move inventory. Between blinding summer glare and strong coastal breezes, low quality signs quickly fade, peel, or blow over.
Here are six essential signage items every Perth car and equipment dealership needs on the yard.
1. High Entry Pylon Signs & Roadside Billboards
Passing motorists travel at 60 to 80 km/h along main dealership strips. A tall entry pylon sign or major boundary billboard is your primary landmark to get drivers turning into your driveway instead of cruising past.
Pylon signs elevate your brand above parked stock and neighboring buildings, giving you prime highway exposure day and night.
What makes a great pylon sign:
Heavy Structural Engineering: Engineered steel posts built to withstand strong Perth coastal wind loads.
3D Fabricated Logos: Raised lettering and dimensional brand marks that stand out from down the road.
Internal LED Illumination: Keeps your yard visible to late night commuters and weekend drive by traffic.
2. Showroom Wall Wraps & Sales Desk Graphics
Once a buyer steps off the hot tarmac and into your air conditioned showroom, the environment should feel premium, professional, and reassuring.
Large format custom wall graphics and feature backdrops set the tone for finance negotiations and vehicle handovers.
Indoor design ideas:
Handover Bay Backdrops: Branded photo backdrop walls where customers can take photos with their new vehicle to post on social media.
Brand Story Feature Walls: Matte laminated wall murals highlighting heritage, local WA roots, or performance imagery.
Finance & Warranty Infographics: Clear wall signs detailing capped price servicing, warranty coverage, and finance process steps.
3. Branded Flags & Outdoor Tear Drop Banners
Adding movement to a static yard is a proven way to catch the human eye. Feather flags and tear drop banners lined up along your front boundary fence add color, motion, and energy to your street frontage.
Standard promotional flags tear quickly at the seams when exposed to constant coastal winds.
What to look for:
Sublimation Print Inks: Double sided printing with high UV resistance so colors do not fade under direct sun.
Heavy Duty Ball Bearing Spindles: Allows flags to rotate smoothly with the wind rather than twisting around poles.
Reinforced Pole Sleeves: Heavy duty webbing along the spine prevents poles from punching through the top canvas.
4. Vehicle Windscreen Graphics & Promotional Decals
When buyers walk your rows of vehicles or equipment, key selling points like price, low kilometres, warranty details, and fuel type need to be visible at a glance.
Custom vinyl windscreen banners and die cut decals turn every parked asset into an active sales pitch.
Key decal options:
- Custom Cut Vinyl Numbers: Bold, high contrast pricing and year model decals for front windscreens.
- One Way Vision Graphics: Full rear window displays showcasing warranty programs or finance offers without blocking driver visibility during test drives.
- Easy Peel Adhesives: High grade temporary vinyl that holds firm in hot weather but peels off cleanly without leaving glue residue.
