How to get it right
Coming soon: the sign that works longest
A coming-soon poster goes up the day the lease is signed and does its job for weeks: it tells the street what the empty unit will be and gives people a reason to come back. It needs three things large enough to read from across the street - what it is, the name, and when - and one thing small: where to follow along before the opening.
Grand opening: a date and a reason
The opening poster is a different message. Swap it in a week or two before the day with the date, the time and the offer that gets people through the door. Printing both posters together means the second one is ready in a drawer the day you need it.
Inside the glass, not outside
Posters are paper and made for indoors - taped inside a window they last the whole run-up, out of the rain. If you want to reuse it for every opening in a chain, a window cling is the better material: it goes on the inside of the glass, printed to read from the street, and peels off for the next one.
One design, ordered as a run for many storefronts
A business opening several locations at once - or on a rolling schedule a few weeks apart - can order the same coming-soon design as a run rather than as separate jobs. Upload one file, approve one proof, and set the quantity to match the number of storefronts opening; every copy comes from that single approved design, so there is no separate proof for each location. It is the same process as one poster for one shop, at a higher quantity.
Sizing the poster to your actual window
Measure the glass before picking a size: a narrow door pane usually takes an 18x24 poster taped at eye level where people walking by on the sidewalk will see it, a standard display window fits 24x36 with room around the edges so it doesn't look cramped against the frame, and a wide storefront window facing a busier street can hold 36x48 so the message still reads from across the road. A poster sized to fill most of the pane, rather than floating small in the middle of a large window, reads faster to someone walking or driving past at a normal pace without slowing down to look closer.
Questions people ask about these
What size should a coming soon poster be?
24x36 for a shop window read from across the street; 18x24 for a glass door.
Can I put it on the outside of the window?
Posters are indoor paper. Tape it inside the glass. For a sign that reads from outside without tape, a window cling goes on the inside of the glass, printed to read from the street; a permanent sign on the outside wants an adhesive vinyl decal.
Can I print the coming soon and the grand opening poster together?
Yes - both in one cart, each with its own free proof.
How quickly can I get them?
Plan backward from opening day: two business days in production after you approve the proof, then free US shipping in 3-5 business days. Approving the proof about ten days before the doors open leaves a safe margin.
Is there a minimum order?
No - one poster per design is a normal order.
Can we order the same coming-soon poster for multiple locations opening around the same time?
Yes - order it as a run under one design and one proof approval, with the quantity set to match your number of storefronts. Each copy comes from that same approved file, so there's no separate design review needed for every location.
How do I pick a poster size for my storefront window?
Measure the glass pane first: 18x24 suits a narrow door, 24x36 fits a standard display window, and 36x48 works for a wide window on a busier street where it needs to read from farther away than someone standing right outside.
