Murals conjure up images of the Sistine Chapel, large-scale paintings on the sides of buildings, or scenes of quaint villages painted on the plaster walls of old-world restaurants.

If you own a restaurant in Vancouver, wall murals are a design element that you may want to consider. Wall murals create ambience inside restaurants, cafés, bakeries and other establishments where food and beverages are sold. They can be subtle, photographic and realistic, or abstract. Wall murals can be designed to suit your restaurant’s interior design style and palette. What’s more, wall murals can serve more than one function. Murals can be decorative, functional, or both, also serving menu boards or information/directional signage.

Increase Brand Visibility and Sales As we mentioned in part 1 our 2-part series on window and wall murals, murals have similar impact as billboards. They are seen, remembered, and increase brand recognition. Wall murals drive sales by making your Vancouver area retail store stand out from the rest of the crowd. This is particularly important in a mall setting or street-facing store in a "retail row" where there is a lot of competition both from other retailers and in getting the attention of passersby.

Locations of Retail Window and Wall Murals There are four main locations for wall and window murals and graphics: street/sidewalk-facing, mall traffic-facing, exterior-facing window and wall, interior-facing window and interior wall.

For impact on brand and visibility, there are few forms of indoor advertising that get as much attention, and, for your business getting attention is everything. In the competitive world in which we do business, we see hundreds (perhaps thousands) of brand and sales messages in our daily travels.
