Your parking lot is one of the first things a customer looks at when visiting your property. Depending on its condition, your parking lot may invite them in or drive them away to the nearest competitor. With less than 90 days until Christmas, now’s the time to do a quick evaluation of your parking lot to see if it’s in need of a holiday makeover. Below are three of the simplest and most economically friendly ways to make sure your parking lot is looking and functioning at its best this holiday season
1. New Sign Blades
It’s easy for your stop signs, directional signs and other parking lot signage to look dingy. Salt and road grime can build up and prematurely age your signage. But installing new, cohesive signage can give your lot a much-needed face lift while improving lot safety and efficiency.
2. New Directional Markings
Many parking lots control traffic with on-pavement directional markings. Maybe you have one-way traffic flow marked with arrows, or you have stop lines directly on the pavement. When these markings start to fade, not only do they not look as good, they become harder to read, increasing the chance of fender benders and snarled traffic. A fresh coat of paint or a few new directional signs may be just what your lot needs to weather the holiday rush.
3. Refreshed Parking Lot Lines
Have you ever tried to park in a lot where the parking marking lines have faded into nothingness? You wind up with wasted space and confusion as people do their best to park. During a busy holiday shopping season, every space counts. Brighten those parking lines for a gleaming new look and maximum efficiency.
