Business & Restaurants

For business and restaurant environments, neon signs serve a dual purpose: branding and ambiance. Unlike events, these installations are permanent, so the size needs to account for visibility from a distance and the architectural scale of the space.

Business Location Recommended Width Primary Goal
Storefront Window 24" – 36" Attract passersby / Visibility
Main Dining Wall 40" – 60"+ Social media "Photo Op"
Reception/Lobby 30" – 40" Professional branding
