Smart Ways to Use A-Frame Signs
A-frame signs are a simple yet powerful way to attract attention, guide foot traffic, and promote your business. Whether placed outside a store, café, or event, they offer flexible, visible messaging that helps you connect with local customers.
What Is an A-Frame Sign?
An A-frame sign is a foldable, double-sided freestanding display used for sidewalk and storefront advertising. Its tent-like structure makes it easy to see from both directions, ideal for capturing attention in high-traffic pedestrian zones.
Available in various formats:
Custom printed A-frame signs
Metal sidewalk signs with inserts
Chalkboard or dry-erase foldable sign boards
