Guide to the Perfect Parking Permit Program |
 |
|
 |
 |
| More than just a way to monitor parking privileges,
parking permits have now emerged as a vital piece of your overall security
initiative. Invariably, the permit label or tag is the public face of your
program. Poor quality permits fade in the sun, are hard to verify and are
easily copied. Professional permits not only reflect the importance of your
organization’s security, but make the job of compliance easier. Follow
these seven pointers in designing your next Permit. Click on each heading
to learn more. |

1. Use a Logo

Foster pride in your company. A distinctive logo is hard to copy.
If you do not have a logo handy, use a distinctive type font for your
organization’s name.

2. Number
Your Permits

Keep track of who receives a permit. Also make sure that your numbers
are as big as possible. You shouldn’t have to squint to read
it.

3. Order Violation Stickers

The integrity of your program depends on enforcement. The first step
is a warning. The second is your call. Order either parking tickets
or one of our colorful violation stickers. |

5. Add
a Date

Can you park here forever? The best designs add an expiration date
and, if possible, the specific parking location (i.e. "East Lot").
Consider color-coding by year or by parking lot.

6. Choose
the Right Material

Clear permits do not block the driver's view. Static cling labels
are crystal clear and can be easily removed. Our hefty 35 mils polyethylene
tag is virtually impossible to tear and outlasts heat and sun. Compare
these with thin, laminated permits that can curl or be torn apart.
Reflective permits are great for night-time inspection and are increasingly
popular.

4. Give Instructions

As an important security document, you need to make sure that everyone
knows the rules, how to handle lost permits and where to place the
permit. |

7. Use
Signs to Reinforce Your Program 
Emphasize that this is Private Property. Confirm that a permit is
required. Make sure that your tow-away policy is clear. |
