If your walls are empty, it’s an excellent time to rebrand your offices, lobbies, and production facilities with wall graphics. Wall graphics send a message, tell a story, and help define a culture. What do your walls say about your business? Here are 3 reasons your business needs wall graphics.
3 Reasons Your Business Needs Wall Graphics
1. Retain Employees
In today’s job market, there may be nothing more critical to the success of an organization than employee retention. In the last two years, we’ve watched small businesses, and large ones, shutter their doors due to being short-staffed. With that in mind, you should embrace anything your business can do to improve employee retention. One thing you can do is make your place of business more inviting, fun, and friendly.
Your business needs wall graphics because they can make a significant difference in a work environment and positively impact the culture. Corporations have realized that the work environment affects culture, which in turn affects production. Well-designed workspaces are critical for employee retention and recruitment.
Wall graphics are ideal for:
- Entrance / Lobby
- Employee Break Rooms
- Production Areas
- Conference Rooms
- Hallways
- Restrooms
Show employees some love. How do you show your employees love with wall graphics? Wall graphics can transform a drab gray wall into an exciting space to share employee recognition.
“In a survey of employers and employees conducted by the American Psychological Association, a large number of employees complained they weren’t being recognized for their job performance. The system that the organization used to recognize employees they felt was not fair. About half felt that their efforts didn’t count.”
One way to show employees their efforts count is with a recognition wall. You can use a recognition wall to recognize employees, customers, and company charitable initiatives. If you want to pull a team together and show appreciation, wall graphics is a visual way to accomplish this.
2. Impress Visitors
What do visitors see when they walk through your door? Do they see plain drab gray or white walls with a company logo next to a clock on the wall? I want you to do something. The next time you go through the door to your business, put yourself in a visitors’ shoes. Ask yourself these questions:
- What do I see?
- Is it friendly and inviting?
- Do the walls share our culture, create excitement, or tell our story?
- How does the space make me feel?
If your answers are less than desirable, then your business needs wall graphics.
Who are these visitors? They’re employees, customers, vendors, prospects, and employment candidates. No matter who walks through your doors—they’re important. Setting the tone with wall graphics full of exciting color, images, graphics, or inspirational quotes can set the mood for your business.

3. Improve Productivity
How many hours a day do your employees spend at work? Is it eight hours a day or more? Spending that much time in any one place can be draining, especially if the atmosphere is oppressive. Little things in the workplace can make a big difference in the attitude of employees. A fun, happy workspace sets the tone for productivity.
“The workplace is where people collaborate, solve problems, and thrive. While many factors go into these actions of productivity, few people consider how their surroundings may be affecting them. Nonetheless, the interior design of a workplace can either inhibit employees from reaching their full potential or contribute to their success. Quality and intentional interior design is shown to boost employees’ productivity and well-being, improve collaboration and community, and attract and retain talent.” — BYU Interior design in the workplace
