If your business is located near a highway or on a busy street, chances are good that thousands of vehicles drive past it each day. Some are commuters heading to and from work, some are people shopping or running errands, and some are just bored and going out for a drive. Whatever the case, if you want to grow your business, you need to provide those drivers an incentive to pull into your parking lot and walk through your front door.

At Maple Leaf Awning & Canvas, we take a lot of pride in building custom canvas awnings and canopies to order. Whether you’re looking for a traditional awning, a quarter round awning, a concave awning, a dome awning, or an entrance canopy, you’re only limited by your own imagination. All of our canvas awnings are locally manufactured from high quality Sunbrella fabric, and you can even browse through all the available colors and patterns from a link on our home page.

Even though a lot more business is being conducted over the internet these days, the majority of retail businesses continue to operate through conventional “brick and mortar” stores. Most consumers still prefer the experience of browsing at a retail store, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult for small boutique retailers to compete with big box stores and overseas drop shippers. There are no guaranteed paths for success, but they all start with getting customers to walk through your front door. Whatever happens after that is up to you, but it’s difficult to close people that don’t pull into your parking lot!
