No matter what time of year that it is, Arkansans are no stranger to seasonal weather extremes. Whether it’s triple digit temperatures in the summer, torrential rain in the spring and fall, or the occasional snowfall, many families feel forced to stay inside during certain times of year to stay comfortable.

There are so many benefits to adding a custom canvas awning or architectural canopy to your storefront. For starters, they are a great way to stand out in a shopping center or strip mall.

When you’re a small business owner in a small strip mall or shopping center, you’re generally limited with the things that you can do to draw attention to your business. The good news is that most shopping centers allow their lessees to adorn their storefronts with custom canvas awnings, which offer several important benefits. They’re a very cost-effective way to add a touch of class to any storefront, and they’re an advertisement that runs around the clock. They also protect your customers from the elements, increase the effective size of your retail sales floor, and offer utility savings.

As a small business owner, setting up shop in a strip mall or shopping center offers some really great advantages. For starters, you’re usually in a convenient, easy-to-find location.

Unfortunately, even if you have the best product or service in town, if your storefront doesn’t draw attention and issue a call to action, those potential walk-ins might not notice you at all!

The official start of fall is just a few days away, but as most Arkansans will tell you, Mother Nature hasn’t quite gotten the message yet! But that doesn’t mean that you should feel forced to stay inside during these last few weeks of hot and humid weather!
