In today’s digital world, people often talk about online ads and social media. But when you run a local shop, café, or salon in London, real-life signs are still one of the best ways to bring in customers. And one of the most effective types of signs is a pavement stand.
At East London Printer, we specialise in pavement stands printing in London. These signs are simple, affordable, and great at catching the eye of people walking past your business.
Let’s take a look at why pavement stands work, what they can do for you, and how we can help.
📌 What Is a Pavement Stand?
A pavement stand is a signboard that you place outside your shop, store, or office. It usually holds a printed poster, or sometimes a chalkboard for handwritten messages.
You might know them as:
A-boards
Sandwich boards
Street signs
Forecourt signs
They are placed on the pavement near your entrance to help bring attention to your message — whether it’s a special deal, an event, or just to let people know you’re open.
🧠 Why Pavement Stands Are So Effective
Here are a few good reasons why pavement stands are still popular for businesses in London:
1. High Visibility
When people walk by, they don’t always look at your window or door. A sign on the pavement grabs their attention at eye level.
2. Low Cost, Big Impact
Unlike online ads or print campaigns, pavement signs are a one-time investment. You just update the poster whenever you need to.
3. Talk to Local Customers
Most people who see your sign are already nearby. That means they’re more likely to visit — especially if they live or work in the area.
4. Easy to Update
Got a new product or offer? Just print a new poster or write a new message. No need to design and order something from scratch every time.
5. Durable and Portable
Most pavement stands are weather-resistant and easy to move, so you can place them wherever they’ll get the most attention.
🏪 Who Should Use Pavement Stands?
Pavement stands are great for almost any kind of business that depends on foot traffic.
Common examples include:
Cafés & Coffee Shops – Promote breakfast deals or afternoon specials
Hair Salons & Barbers – Show prices or walk-in availability
Retail Stores – Highlight sales or limited-time offers
Gyms & Studios – Advertise free trials or new classes
Takeaways & Bakeries – Display menus or combos
Markets & Events – Guide visitors to your stall or booth
If your business is on a street, in a shopping area, or anywhere people walk past — a pavement stand can help.

Add your logo or brand colours – For a professional look
