Imagine walking to the bus station on a Monday morning. Hair down, wind gushing against your cheek, time racing wickedly against you. It's not exactly a bad day, but it isn't fun either—Mondays aren't. As you walk past the store next to your favorite coffee shop, you discover it's finally open for business. And dazzling beautifully on the glass wall is a neon sign that reads:

"You did not wake up today to be mediocre."

You did not wake up today to be mediocre
You did not wake up today to be mediocre

Boom! There's your vitamin. Your energy is rejuvenated; now, you're headed to work with a sense of purpose, a reminder that you’re more than average. Thanks to that neon sign. You'll probably return to take a few Instagram photos near it. And from taking photos, you just might find yourself in the store. What a way of calling your attention!

Okay, back to reality. Now that you've seen your store through a (potential) customer's eye, let's move to the base. You want a neon sign quote in your store.

Neon lights are natural attention-grabbers, so that’s a significant first step for your business. A quality one especially speaks well of your brand. Top it up with a well-structured message, and people would stop and stare (in the voice of One Republic).

“Farnsworth says the details of wording make a difference. While there are many ways to say the same thing, one may be more pleasing and convincing than all the others because of the way words are arranged.” — Fast Company

So we've compiled beautifully structured, timeless phrases to inspire your custom neon sign. Not only are these quotes useful for neon lights in business spaces, but also in personal spaces.

Good Vibes Neon Lights

Ever wondered what ambience your store carries? According to The Journal of International Research and Marketing, there was a 1997 study done on Store Atmosphere, Mood and Purchasing Behavior which concluded that:

"Customers' mood—measured at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of their shopping—was shown to improve in the pleasant and to deteriorate in the less pleasant store. Satisfaction with the store was greater in the pleasant store ... Customers in the pleasant store spontaneously spent more money on articles they simply liked.”

Are you aiming to keep people in high spirits when they’re in and around your store? A fun neon sign is a bright way to start! Luckily, our neon lights have flex technology. This means you can create different designs with your quote―twirl it, bend it, add funky emojis and more.

Good Vibes Only

Good vibes only (centred)

Similarly, our neon lights come in a range of colours and font sizes/styles to choose from. You could even mix two colours in one design. Because if you really want an ambience that lifts people’s moods, you'll need neon lights that are bright, creative, colourful and spontaneous.

As for what to inscribe? Here are our ideas:

  • Girls just wanna have fun.
  • Girls just wanna have emojis
