LED signs for shops and shopfronts

A bright LED sign in your window, on your shopfront or on a pylon by the road tells people what’s new before they walk or drive past. You change it in seconds from your phone. We build retail signs and screens at our workshop in Welshpool, Perth, and our own team installs them.

Which sign suits your shop

Window and shopfront screens

Full colour screens in the window show new stock, photos and video. The OA2 series is made for screens seen up close, like shopfront ads, and stays clear in direct sun. AP2 indoor poster screens are slim, for shopfronts and shopping centres, and several can join into one big screen. AP1 outdoor poster screens suit busy places like shopping centres, stations and airports. Brochures for each are on Brochures and guides.

Signs on the building

LED signs fixed to a shopfront, wall or fascia, from a single colour message board above the door to a full colour screen above the store.

Pylon and street signs

Freestanding signs beside the road or in a car park, with an LED screen on one or both sides. A double-sided sign catches traffic from both directions. Single colour suits scrolling text such as trading hours, and full colour shows your logo, products and video. Our FA2 outdoor range reaches up to 10,000 nits, so product photos stay clear in direct sun. See outdoor LED signs and pylon signs.

Size and pixel pitch

Window shoppers stand a metre or two away, so a small pitch looks sharp. Drivers read a pylon from much further away, so a larger pitch, such as P10, suits a roadside sign. Try a shop ad on our pixel pitch planner on a 2 × 1, 3 × 2 or 5 × 4 m sign, in full colour or single colour red.

Changing the message

Change the window screen in seconds from your phone when new stock lands. Schedule content by time of day, such as new arrivals in the morning and late trading hours in the evening, and on a double-sided pylon each face can run its own content. We set up the software and run through it with your staff.

Approvals for shop signs

Councils set rules for shopfront and pylon signs, and a shop on a main road may also need Main Roads WA to approve its sign. Inside a shopping centre, the centre’s management usually has its own rules for signs. We handle the council paperwork with you at no extra cost. Read our council approval guide.

Shops we have worked with

Scarvaci’s IGA: an LED message display on the IGA sign at Hamilton Hill Shopping Plaza.
Barbaro Butchers: the owner bought three of our signs.

You can see these on our projects page.

Hire or buy

Hire first, or buy

Stafford Motors started with a hire sign, then bought a custom sign. Hiring is a simple way to try a sign before you buy one. Full colour trailer signs show photos, logos and video for an opening, and portable signs move by hand to your shopfront. Hire it for a weekend or for a year. We send hire signs all over Australia, and in Perth we can often deliver the same day. Read how to get the most from a hired digital sign.

If you need a sign for most of the year, buying often works out better, and Ledge Finance lets you keep your working capital. Warranties run from 1 to 5 years, depending on the product.
