BANNERS, BANNERS BIG BANNERSBig banners for buildings. Created and installed. Solid or see-through.
But, what results are achieved by every successful store sign? To identify, to communicate, and to create the image you desire. It is hard to accomplish all three in a single sign. Good signs incorporate design and marketing decisions creating the message, look, colors, sign types, sizes, quantities, etc. to create the required impact. They draw attention to themselves. They provide drive-up appeal. Your sign is your voice on the street. It's a primary means of communicating with customers. It attracts them, draws them through your doors, and encourages them to buy your products and services. Your sign IS THE IMAGE of your business, at the very least it is the first impression that gets potential customers to come in the door. And if you advertise, or create a webpage or Facebook presence, you will feature your sign. What image do you want potential customers to have? The quality of your sign should match the quality of your business to give potential customers the right first impression. Cheap, or professional? Basic, or interesting? Shoestring, or successful? Neglected, or attentive? Your sign conveys all of these messages, and more, to your potential customer BEFORE they become a customer. Make sure you are marketing your business properly. The sign, if it's a quality sign, will be the only thing that sells for you 24/7 without any ongoing expense, or work, from you!
Almost 8 of 10 shoppers (76%) percent said they would enter a store they've never been in before based solely on its sign, while nearly 7 of 10 (68%) have actually purchased because a sign caught their attention. While signs draw in customers from the street, they can also be good word-of-mouth marketing tools; 75% of those polled said they've told someone about a business simply based on its signage. Again, 7 of 10 respondents (68%) said they believe a store's sign is reflective of the quality of products or services that the business offers and 52% said they are less willing to enter a business with poorly made signs. If you think a sign isn't worth your investment, think again - 6 in 10 consumers won't enter a business with no signage. Alicia Ciccone, Huffington Post Of course the best, and cheapest, form of advertising is word-of-mouth. Consumers main reason for giving word-of-mouth mention is self-enhancement. (Mitchell J. Lovett, et.al. Journal of Marketing Research) Remember that FedEx (above) found that 75% of consumers give word-of-mouth mention based solely on signage. Consumers MUST be impressed with your sign.
With 18.6% of the entire US population moving each year, your sign will be constantly seen by MANY potentially new customers. "The average business gets over 50% of their sales just from their signage." - Small Business Association If a sign costs you money it is not doing its job. It should effectively advertise your company and earn you money. "…research from the University of California at Berkeley found that 68% of purchases were unplanned during major shopping trips and 54% on smaller shopping trips. To take advantage…your business will need an effective sign to attract attention." The NewYork State Small Business Development Center As examples, how important would a free-standing pylon sign be to your business? McDonald's says that simply changing a Monument sign in front of one of their stores to a pylon sign increases their store's business 15%. A Whataburger that was unhappy with their new store's volume removed their brand-new pylon sign and installed one 40% larger and taller. The store's volume increased 23% the day after installation, and sales have exceeded the previous months for more than 5 years now. The SBA says that an LED Message Center increases store volume 15 - 150%. Good signs incorporate design and marketing decisions creating the message, look, colors, sign types, sizes, quantities, etc. to create the required impact. Again quoting Small Business Administration research, 89% of businesses that fail do so because of improper signage! The trouble with improper or average signs is that you will never know how many potential customers they've driven away, or not attracted, by simply looking inappropriate. Your success or failure may be determined the day your sign is installed!
We can help, so long as your landlord and the City understand the importance of good signage and allow you to install signs that will help your business. Unfortunately this isn't always true. Choose your location(s) wisely (and receive your landlord's approval of your signage package BEFORE you sign your lease.) And remember the axiom "Location, Location, Location!" The supreme importance of "location" is the numbers of potential customers that will see your sign...and be able to read and understand it. These are very important design and marketing considerations. If you are located in the Dallas/Fort Worth "Metroplex" in Texas the Texas Department of Transportation has probably counted traffic in front of your new location. Go to www.dfwinfo.com/trans/data/tcins to see how many vehicles will see your signs every day! Other regions have similar information available. Surprisingly 30% of traffic on almost all business streets occurs when it is dark; people see your sign only if it is lighted when it is dark out, including on dark days when everyone else's sign is lighted.
The importance of signage in helping a business to survive was recently underscored when the Small Business Development Center (SBDC), with their NxLeveL for Entrepreneurs training program, which is available in 40 states, added an entire week to their program to present more deeply "…the importance of signs and their impact on a business…" The "Google® Effect"As Google® and others develop virtual reality 3-D images of business districts, for use with virtual-reality glasses, the importance of signage will be magnified. Consumers will enter a product or product category, and Google® will show them, virtually, where this product can be purchased. No longer will the business' signage only compete for attention with neighboring businesses, storefront images will be compared for every competitor in the entire DFW Metroplex, in 3-D (with motion?) Business' with eye-catching signage it will find it easier to succeed in the future (lots more free advertising.) Other businesses will find it harder. Actual physical location will remain important, but be less restrictive to success. Why use Signs Manufacturing?

The Signs Manufacturing On-Location Sales Team's Personalized Service
Let us meet with you in your office, or at your new signs location, or home, or anywhere. You will probably have a firm quotation for what you want during our meeting; certainly no more than a day later. Visit Our Unique Sign Lighting Laboratory and Demonstration Showroom with LED Video DisplaysUnique in the entire sign industry, Signs Manufacturing™ built an 85' by 50' (over 4,000 sq ft) indoor sign lighting laboratory for testing the longevity, visibility, and effectiveness of all the lighted signs we manufacture. The Laboratory is open to the public, for FREE, adding an LED Video Display Showroom because we realized how important one would be to consumers.

You must determine what type of sign, and which LED spacing is best, so that your sign will be successful, considering how you will use it. Therefore:
are always available for you to compare. We invite you to also observe all other types of signage, viewing them up close as well as from a distance, under varying light conditions (and stay out of the weather while doing so!)
Will your Sodium Vapor or Metal Halide parking lot lights affect the colors of your sign at night? How visible will your pylon sign's border neon be during the day? Should you consider PinLights™, LetterLites™, SpectraLites™, or Trembler™ signs? Brighter Signs™ neon or Solarbrite™ LED lighting for channel letter signs? Fluorescent or HID lighting for your monument sign? Do Daylight or Cool White fluorescents make your sign's colors look best? What are the differences between a flex-faced, a Lexan™, and an acrylic-faced sign cabinet? How will shadows affect my sign's readability during the day? Should the wall behind my sign be light or dark colored? Would a different type of sign look better on my brick wall? Should I consider a routed sign face with push-through letters? Don't buy a sign from a drawing, a slick website, or photo-shopped pictures, when you can actually see and compare real signs.
Live Demonstrations of Signage Features
No one else can offer you this unique opportunity. Be sure to take advantage. Your business will be better because you do. If you don't visit it could cost you thousands in sales every year. Your business will be better because you do. Can you afford not to? "I almost made a huge mistake by not listening to you and visiting your showroom prior to buying my sign. I thought I knew what I wanted, after listening to so many salespeople...boy, was I wrong. My vision of the sign did not jibe with what it would really turn out to be, even after viewing so many drawings. It was obvious the moment I entered the showroom. If I had stuck to my guns my sign would have been a disaster. I would have wasted a lot of money." Cecil Drake, Drake Communications

Fraud Protection"After being ripped-off by one sign company, who took my several-thousand-dollar deposit but never delivered my sign, I was nervous. I'm sure glad I met you guys!" Paul Lewis, Jubilee Mortgage Signs Manufacturing™ is insured, registered, licensed and bonded per all City and State regulations, and even carries product liability insurance to protect our customers, and their customers, which is very rare among sign companies. We even offer our customers free coverage on a $2,000,000 insurance policy providing Deposit Insurance if we were to default. Visit our "Cost" tab on the "Sign Types" page for details on all of the above. We've got you covered!" ...I had to hound Vital ***** (a Car Wrap company) for weeks and weeks, then I had to call ******** (the manufacturer) to finally get a hold of Vital *****. I thought Vital ***** was taking my deposit money and running. When he asked for the second deposit I was kind of hesitant based on my experience with him. I did some research on Vital ***** and there were judgments in Dallas County, civil judgments for Vital ***** taking money and not putting up a sign! But the manufacturer said I had to deal with him, and he already had a great deal of my money.The installation company he subcontracted with, City *****, finally did show up and after giving them another $30,000 the sign was installed but City ***** didn't pay Vital *****, I guess, his "fair cut" of it. Vital ***** was initially mad at City ***** and then he was mad at me, so he came and took the controller out of the sign so now it doesn't even work! I tried to go back to ******** (the manufacturer), and gave them all of the documentation and they said it's between me and Vital *****, they won't do anything about it. I'm never dealing any way but directly with a manufacturer again!" Mr. Sinkler, Freedom Wash Why Buy Factory-Direct, from a State-Licensed Company?TURN-KEY Design, Manufacturing, Installation, and ServiceWhy not buy from a Sign Dealer (also called a Sign Broker, Car Wrap company or a Sign Store?) Would you give a car dealer $10,000 and tell him to buy you the best car he can for the money, sight unseen (or from a drawing?) Don't you think you would get the car that made him the most? Do you think you could meet your needs asking for the cheapest car he can buy? Why would a sign dealer (Car Wrap company or sign store) be any different? Remember, they are merely buying a sign from a manufacturer to resell to you, usually to resemble a drawing, making the most money they can. You need to know ALL of the details on how your sign will be manufactured, and how it will be installed. It needs to meet YOUR needs, not the seller's profit goals. What is he telling the manufacturer you don't need? Believing "...a sign is a sign" gets you a Yugo instead of a Cadillac. Remember the Yugo? They didn't last very long, either. Also, most sign dealers, Car Wrap companies and sign stores cannot legally install or service an electric sign. Ask to see their license.
Now, who provides the warranty? The manufacturer, the installer, the salesman, anyone? If the sign was installed illegally do you think they'll honor their warranty? Did they REALLY obtain your City sign permit? Is the sign even safe? As a large, both UL and ETL listed manufacturer, our name is on all our signs. Just like you, we can't afford to have a bad sign destroy our business. We have to care, particularly with our LIFETIME* warranty.
So someone can sell you signs and not be licensed to install or service them. You may have to have this done. But unless the electrical signs you buy are "listed" (U.L. usually) they won't be allowed to be installed in Texas, a State of Texas Consumer Protection Safety Law designed to insure that signs are safe to use, with a few local city ordinance exceptions. It is not illegal to sell them to you, however. Buy carefully. "I had a ****-a-**** (sign company) right across the street … that store's out of business now … I found out they hired some other company to build and install our sign and they did a really #@%&&$ job, the thing has never lit right. ****-a-**** Corporate won't do anything, they say the closed store was an independent franchise, and the sign builder/installer won't fix it, they say we weren't their customer. I need you to come out, tell me what it will cost to get the thing working properly and get it fixed."

Free Factory TourCome and see the array of equipment and tools, and the facility dedicated to making good signs. Contact a sales consultant to arrange a plant tour. Full Service Facilities (Designing, Engineering, Permit Filing, Listed Manufacturing, State-Licensed Install and Sign Repair)
Please visit our four-building manufacturing campus (Two sets of joined buildings.) (2017 commercial drone photo.) If you are seriously considering buying from someone else we suggest that you also visit their location to observe if they can actually do what they say they can; or at least "Google" their address. A lot of competitors who present themselves as manufacturers actually only buy and resell signs, working out of a house, office building, small warehouse, or storefront!

An example of our dedication to helping our customers succeed is this website.
We refer to our website as The Knowledge Tree™. We placed the website online in 1997, and have worked to improve it ever since. Our database to create it requires over 8,000 pages; more information than some "encyclopedias." The Knowledge Tree™ tells you how we manufacture our signage, and why. Knowledge Tree™ subjects are on the left side of every page. For instance, click our "Sign Types" tab to the top-left, then pick any of our products, then explore that page's tabs and discover how we make each sign to last; including the use of CNC manufacturing, rust-proof metal, structural-steel frames, high-end automotive paint, high-impact plastics, and most importantly, sophisticated protective coatings.Go to our "About" page and select tabs to learn about the history of Signs Manufacturing, and many other subjects. Unsure, or unconvinced about the importance of signage to the survival and success of a business? Click our "About" page's "Importance of Signage" tab to learn what Nationwide studies have proven. Please use and enjoy this 550+ page website with over 3,000 images, the largest information resource about signs on the internet, created so you can learn about all types of signs and how you can control their affect on your image and business. Consider "bookmarking" our site as a "favorite" for easier reference later. We believe that if you're a knowledgeable purchaser there's a real good chance you'll become our customer. Signs are Like BoatsThere are $50,000 boats; there are $400 boats. The devil is in the details. Our websites, our literature, and our quotations describe in detail what we do when building signs, and why we do it. 
Many competitive quotations that customers show us, and competitors' websites, are for “a boat.”
Have you had a different experience? Considering the proven importance of a quality sign to the success of a business, do you really want to trust “a boat” to keep your business afloat? Buyer Beware! You must have finite details to evaluate competitive signage quotations. Nothing hurts a business more than bad signage. LiteratureWe believe we are the only sign company that offers informative literature on signage, our "Sign Buyer's Guide" series. Our most popular Guides are:

"A
sign can make or break your business. Size, design and wording can be the
deciding factor as to whether a new customer walks through the door or keeps
driving to your competitor, according to a survey by FedEx Office®."
Signage
is the most targeted advertising you can do according to the U. S. Small
Business Administration (SBA), which also states that 85% of a business's sales
usually come from within a 5 mile radius. Your sign constantly advertises your
business to a potential customer who frequents the area where your business is
located.
AT&T
gave this advice to Yellow Pages customers, 
"To
make your business stand out, be prepared to spend on your signage." 
Do
you want someone to just make your sign cheaply, or would you prefer to have
someone make sure it will help you be successful now, and be built to help you
remain successful in the future?
