About the A-Frame Sign ROI Calculator

A-Frame signs, also called sidewalk signs, are one of the most effective tools for capturing foot traffic. Whether placed outside a café, boutique, or service shop, they act as a personal invitation—guiding passersby to stop, look, and walk in.

The A-Frame ROI Calculator is designed to help businesses understand the real-world impact of these signs. Instead of guessing how many extra customers a sign might attract, you can calculate potential footfall conversions, revenue uplift, and long-term payback. This ensures your signage investment is based on data, not hope.
