Will This Reserved Parking Sign Trick Ensure Your Patrons Have A Place To Park?

Want to know a trick which will help ensure your patrons have a place to park?

Let’s assume you’re leasing a space in a local neighborhood retail center.

Maybe your opening or expanding a…

• Hair Salon
• Restaurant
• Jewelry Store
• Sports Rehab Facility
• Vitamin Joint
• Tax Preparation Service
• Pizza Shop
• Specialty Product Local
• Gym
• Tattoo Parlor
• Arcade
• Or…

A type of retail location which is still in demand today.

A place where your patrons come to visit you on a regular daily basis.

And as you’re designing your interior, and doing your tenant finish, and getting ready to have your grand opening, you notice there is a lot of traffic cruising in and out of your retail centers parking lot.

Where people are parking in spaces to visit the business next door or a retail space down the walkway…

Or worse, you have your tables or racks or furnishings or… scheduled to be delivered and the parking lot area in front of your store is filled with parked cars.

And there’s no place to park, upfront, by your main entry doors to get your products unloaded.

The nearest spot is about two rows back, but still you have no easy access to bring in your goods.

After all… the cars parked curbside, right in front of your store, only have enough room to walk between. You can’t wheel in carpet, tile, pallets, tables, etc… because they will not squeeze between the cars blocking your entry.

So you end up parking on the far side of your center and having your tenant finish items wheeled-in all the up and down the sidewalk leading to your location.

Yea, sure, wouldn’t it be nice if you could just back up and park at your front entry and unload -easily?

And be able too do so today, tomorrow and for as long as your leasing retail space.

After all, you got your locations interior finish, store front signage, and all of it… approved and permitted by your local jurisdiction.

It’s now your location to do as you want.

At the same time, you may be aware, when the retail center was built, long before you became a tenant, the center also got approved by the local jurisdiction.

An approval process which required the shopping centers architects to appropriate ample parking spots and stalls.

Parking spaces which met the required amount of parking spots for the total square footage of the center.

Which means, there’s ample parking, to code, to accommodate all patrons who visit the retail center. Even handicap parking spaces too.

However, when shopping center patrons drive up, they’ll tend to park in the spots which offer the path of least resistance.

Which means, if there’s available curbside parking in front of your store front, they’ll park there.

So what do you do?

You want your patrons to be able park curbside in front of your location and mosey on-in, right?

You want open parking spots in front of your business too.

You want your customers and patrons to have easy access to your store, or restaurant, or service without much fuss.

So how will you keep your parking spots open for your customers?

Well, you already know there’s plenty of parking spots available per jurisdictional codes for the entire center.

You just want to keep the patrons who are visiting the stores next door or down the way from yours from parking in front of your location.

It’s only fair, right?

So you check with the jurisdiction and find out how many parking spots were allocated to your space and then you order up some “reserved parking signs.”

And you plant these signs in the parking spots in front of your stores entry.

But you utilize this reserved parking sign trick.

You order your custom reserved parking traffic control signs with your logo on them.

That’s right, you have your logo or brand printed right on the reserved parking sign face.

This way the parking sign easily stands out.

There’s no doubt these stalls are reserved for your patrons.

Because, if you think about it, most reserved parking signs are plain-jane looking and full of gobbled-dee-gook text and copy.

Where the average person drives up, usually in a hurry or distracted, and quickly glances at the sign, yet parks in the reserved spot anyways because it’s full of text. And it says reserved. But for who? Right?

However, when you use the trick of planting your logo as big as day on the sign face, the hurried patron will notice the brand and be forced to think twice about parking in your reserved customers spots.

Heck, they see your store front sign, then they see the same logo and colors on the parking sign and they think twice about parking in the reserved spot.

After all, when the sign was full of text and copy, most didn’t even stop to read what the sign said… but now they do.

Because you used the trick to be seen.  You planted your logo right on the sign face as plain as day.

Which means, there’s no excuse for playing dumb if the tow truck rumbles up, right?

For example, take a gander at the reserved parking sign in the photo above -in this post.

Not hard to see this is a reserved parking spot for post office patrons -only! right?

You pull up, oops, you see the postal logo, you find another place to park.

Because, you know if you don’t you could get towed or fined or both.

How’s that?

Well, another little trick is… you see the last line of text on the reserved parking sign above in the photo?

It has the N.R.S. code printed right on the sign face.

Which means, there is a Nevada Revised Statute (N.R.S.) that is law which means if you’re ticketed or towed then that’s life.

Towing or ticketing is legal when its spelled out.

Which means, you’ve been legally warned.

So why not order your reserved parking signs with the added N.R.S. code too?

This way, if anyone ever pulls up and try’s to park in your reserved spots and they’re not a patron, you may explain quickly “you see that N.R.S. code” -Well that means you may be towed or ticketed if you’re not patronizing the local for which the reserved sign is for.

And if they’re smart they’ll move. Because nobody likes being towed or ticketed.

However, since you know that by using these reserved parking sign tricks, and by ordering your signs with your logo as bright as day on your sign face, you’re making it instantly clear for any wayward non-patron to notice your reserved parking spots are for your patrons.

And by adding the N.R.S. code you’re protecting yourself from reprise.

You see, if you look around, in your daily travels, you’ll probably see a lot more reserved parking signs without the N.R.S. code(s) printed on them.

Which means, the person or business trying to reserve some spots may not be legally allowed to do so.

Therefore, if you park in a reserved spot and the sign doesn’t have a N.R.S. code printed on it, the owner, business, etc, CANNOT have you ticketed or towed -legally.

And if they do try to scare you with a ticket or tow… Simply ask “where’s the N.R.S. code?”

After all, a tow truck company is not stupid enough to touch a car parked in a reserved parking spot unless the N.R.S. code and tow warning is clear as day on the sign and at the required letter height.

However, you just solved your parking problem.

Sure, you may get a few flagrant fleas who don’t respect your reserved parking spaces.

But overall, you’ll be ensuring that your patrons have easy access to your new location, business, or store with curbside parking.

Because 9 out of 10 patrons who are visiting another store within your stores center will respect your reserved spots.
