How Much Do Outdoor Digital LED Signs Really Cost?
Of
course you have to invest money in a lighted business sign so that it can
create you income.
But,
a sign can't cost you money, it has to make you money. It is an
investment to make your business grow.
So, when
does a LED Sign start making you money? What is your Return
on Investment?
Use our Lease Cost Calculator™, below, to
determine YOUR break-even point. Or, ask our salesperson to run the
numbers with you.
For an
example let's use a large $60,000 full-color LED free-standing
video display pole sign, and allow the business to pay for it out of future
profits. Maybe larger than you would want, maybe not.
If you borrow 100% of the
money to purchase this sign, and pay it back over 6 years with a 10%
interest rate, your additional monthly payment will be about $1,110
per month. Add to this the monthly additional operating costs for
electricity, insurance, and property taxes because of the more-valuable sign
- the sign's ONLY other costs. For our example we will use a $1,140
per month total cost ($36.77 per day during the loan period.)
The sign is a capital
expense, and the interest paid is an expense, both saving you income taxes
on your investment. If you are in the 25% tax bracket (0% tax bracket in
red) this will return to you over $19,800 ($0)
in Federal Income Taxes you would otherwise have been obligated to pay
during the loan period. This reduces the break-even point by about $9.00
per day to $27.77 (still $36.77.)
Because of "expensing,"
you recover over $15,600 ($0)
of your investment the first year. (Corporate tax rates run to
21%; pass-through corporations, businesses, and individuals to 37%, so your
savings could be significantly higher.)
How much business will
the sign need to generate to pay for itself?
You
probably operate with a 25% to 50% cost of goods, depending on the type of
business.
Would a beautiful digital LED
sign in front of your business attract $56.00 - $111.00
($75.00
- $150.00) in additional daily
business (which also covers the cost of the goods you sell?)
Remember, history proves
that the average business gets over 50% of their sales just from their
signage.
Of
course it would. The U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA) states
that an electronic message centers increases a stores sales by 15 - 150%.
Beautiful, attention-getting signs make you money; they don't cost you a
penny.
You want
the best signage your cash flow will support, because you want your business
to grow.
The United States' Small Business Administration (SBA) has stated that an LED Sign in front of a business increases the store's entire sales volume 15-150%, so your answer should be YES.
We haven't noticed ANY businesses with large digital LED signs in front of their store that have gone out of business! Have you?
"In my previous 9 years of being in business I have never had 40 customers in a day. Since you put up my Sunburst™ LED Display sign I have so-far averaged 53 customers per day, but my business is still growing again."
Muhammad Faridi, MD, McAllen Medical Center, Dallas, Texas
"...they (American Red Cross) are so impressed with your company and the ROI of the signage..."

Why Do Companies Lease Equipment?
Eight out of ten companies
lease some or all of their equipment.
Why do they lease? Because
the flexibility provided by leasing allows them to have the most effective
operation possible.
-
Leasing is Flexible. Customize a program to address your needs &
requirements.
-
100% Financing. There is very little money down with leasing - typically
the first & last month's payment are due at the time of lease signing.
-
Leasing is Fast & Convenient. Leasing can allow you to respond quickly
to new opportunities with minimal documentation.
-
Tax
Benefits. The IRS does not consider an operating lease to be a purchase,
but rather a tax-deductible overhead expense.
-
Improves Cash Flow. Lease payments are historically lower than loan
payments.
-
Manage Obsolescence. A lease allows equipment to be returned to the
lessor at the end of the lease term.
-
Balance Sheet Management. Because an operating lease is not considered a
long-term debt or liability, it does not appear as debt on your balance
sheet.
Delayed-Deposit Billing™
Significantly reduced initial billing to help you control your cash-flow.
