Storefront awnings grab attention when they are bold in color, large enough to be seen from the street and clearly tied to the business underneath. There is no single color or style that works for everyone. What matters is that the awning stands out from the buildings around it and tells people who you are.
An awning is both functional and stylish. It shelters customers from the weather, and with the right style, color and graphics it helps your business get noticed. Getting noticed is often what turns passing traffic into foot traffic.
What Makes Storefront Awnings Stand Out
Bold, Vibrant Color
Color is the first thing people see. A big, vibrant awning catches the eye in a way a plain facade cannot. Choose a color that connects to your brand and contrasts with the building so it does not fade into the background.
Size and Shape
An awning that spans the storefront makes a stronger impression than a small one over the door alone. The shape matters as well. Different awning styles change the character of a building, so pick one that suits its architecture.
Graphics and Lettering
Your business name or logo on the awning turns it into a sign that works all day. Commercial awnings from Aladdin Inc are available with or without custom graphics, so you can keep the design simple or use it as a branding piece.
The Practical Side of a Business Awning
Looks are only part of the value. An awning shields customers from sun, rain and snow as they come and go, and it provides shade for windows and outdoor areas. Shading the glass also helps keep the inside of the building cooler on sunny days.
Awnings can be installed over doors, windows, patios and balconies. They come in retractable and stationary styles, so there is an option for most types of business, whether you are adding a fresh look or replacing an outdated unit.

The easiest way to decide what you like is to look at real installations. Our project gallery shows awnings we have installed, including big, bold, eye-catching designs. Note which colors and shapes draw your eye first. Those are likely the ones that will work for your customers, too.
If your building also needs cover at a side or rear entrance, simple door canopies can carry the same look around the property.
