Dear Sign Lady: Where can I get signs for my retail pop up?

Foam letters for temporary store in mall

Dear Sign Lady,

I'm opening a temporary shop over the holidays in the local mall, and I'm really excited! But I need to figure out the signage fast—like, yesterday fast. It's a temporary lease, so I can't do anything too permanent, but I need something eye-catching to compete with the big guys. Where can I go to get the correct signage?

Dear Holiday Hustler,

What a fun and frantic time of year! Your signage is absolutely crucial for a temporary pop-up. You need to capture the attention of busy holiday shoppers who are just breezing by, and you need to do it within the mall's often strict guidelines for temporary installations.

The key to a successful temporary shop is partnering with a vendor that understands the mall environment and has experience with quick turnaround and removable options.

 

My Top Recommendation: 3V Signs & Graphics

 

Based on your need for speed, reliability, and mall experience, I highly recommend checking out 3V.

Why 3V is Your Holiday Pop-Up Hero:

  • Mall Savvy: This is their wheelhouse. They have extensive experience working with temporary retail shops in high-traffic environments. They know the rules, which means fewer headaches and delays for you.
  • Local Experience: They frequently work with major locations like Manhattan Village, Del Amo Fashion Plaza, and Promenade PV (the PV mall). This local knowledge is invaluable—they likely already have installation access and insurance paperwork that is acceptable to your landlord.
  • The Right Tools for the Job: They fabricate a huge range of products perfect for a temporary space, including:
    • Dimensional Signage: These are great for adding a premium look to your main storefront, available in electric (if permitted) and non-electric options. Dimensional letters really make your brand pop.
    • Wall, Window, and Floor Graphics: This is your secret weapon for a temporary shop!
      • Window Graphics announce your shop and sales from a distance.
      • Wall Graphics can transform a plain kiosk or inline space into a branded experience without permanent paint.
      • Floor Graphics are excellent for directing foot traffic right into your store. The best part? They are designed to be temporary and removable without damaging the surface when your lease is up.

The Sign Lady’s Pro-Tip:

When you contact 3V, make sure you have a copy of your mall's visual criteria or tenant sign criteria sheet. The faster you get that to them, the quicker they can design, fabricate, and install a sign that not only catches the eye but also gets immediate landlord approval!

Good luck with your holiday rush, and may your sales be merry and bright!
