You can shop for a sign like you shop for anything. Look around and compare the options. When looking at a sign company, consider their initial approach to the process, review examples of their work, talk to their references, and do your research. Here are some factors to consider:

• The quality of their signs
• The sign company’s ability to design and deliver a fully custom sign
• The product knowledge and experience of the sign company’s personnel
• The quality, price, and value
• The follow-up and ongoing service

At City Sign Services, we are confident we can do the job and do it well for you. Talk to us about your custom signage needs!

There are many reasons to get a custom sign. Consider the top ones for yourself:

• Signs are the most effective and least expensive form of advertising for small businesses
• A sign is your introduction to those passing by, identifying your business to existing and potential customers
• Signs are on the job for you at all times, 24/7

Remember that people often judge your business by how it looks. Many owners increase their business measurably just by adding a good sign. On the other hand, many businesses have gone out of business because they simply were not identified well and not enough potential customers knew of their existence. That’s why one sign industry professional said, “A business without a sign is a sign of no business.”

Ultimately, we live in a mobile world. According to data from the United States Census Bureau, 18% of households relocate each year. As customers move, you need to replace them by attracting new customers. Signs can help you do this.

This answer will vary depending on your business, your location, and other factors. Overall, following these guidelines will increase the impact of your sign:

• Design a sign to attract the most customers
• Project the image you desire
• Make the sign easy to read and visible for people driving and walking
• Create an attractive sign that is appropriate for your business
• The sign should remind existing customers of your business and location
• The sign should attract new customers with a valuable visual indicator of the products and services you offer
• Design the sign to be as large as possible

If you’re not sure how to deliver on these tips, let us help. We offer full design and manufacturing.

Yes, lighted custom signs are very important. We don’t live in a 9-to-5 world. People will drive by your business 24 hours a day. A lighted sign gives you the opportunity to communicate with your existing and potential customers, even when your business is closed.

This is all part of creating top-of-the-mind awareness. Larger corporations do this all the time by constantly and consistently presenting their name, logo, and products. With enough repetition, their name becomes a household word and their logo becomes synonymous with the corporation.

For a smaller business, a lighted sign on display 24/7 helps create top-of-the-mind awareness in the local community. It’s a great investment!

It’s really up to you. However, a successful sign will communicate a message clearly and effectively. That’s why we offer some general guidelines:

• Use as few words as possible to clearly communicate what you sell
• Use a picture depicting your product and service with impact and clarity
• Present the image you want to project in order to attract customers and entice them to stop, shop, and buy
• Consider the way your sign’s type, size, colors, and placement will look from the street or sidewalk
• Invest in proper design to maximize sign effectiveness
• Avoid crowding the sign with too many words or lines that are hard to read from a distance
• Use as few words as possible (no more than five to seven) with the ideal number being between three and five
• Don’t use the sign to sell customers but just to draw them into your place of business
• Keep the sign easy to read through windshields, in traffic, during the day and night, and in all types of weather
• Always make sure your sign can be seen and read easily

We can help you design your sign to maximize its impact. Just ask us how!

Signage does carry a cost. However, compared to other advertising methods, it is the least expensive and most effective option for independent and national retail businesses.

Just think about it. You pay for a sign just once, but it works for you 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for years to come. With other advertising outlets, you have to pay month after month, and you never have the benefit of ownership. You also have no assurance that you’re actually reaching customers.

From the perspective of a business owner, a sign isn’t an expense. It’s a capital investment. When you factor in the return on that investment, signs are not expensive at all. An effective sign will likely pay for itself many times over.

That being said, the price for signage will vary greatly depending on the size, design, style, manufacturer, and mounting style.
