You will find that many of our competitors (some with very slick looking websites) are presenting themselves as full-service companies but in reality they are only brokers, marking up somebody else's product then reselling it to you; they are a sign store. Many even have no way to actually install a sign themselves. And once you buy it from them they offer no service.

We install and service what we manufacture and sell. Just our Installation and Service Annex is larger than most other sign companies.

Color Guide For Your Signage

Don't paint your signs the same color(s) as your neighbors!  Stand out.  Don't accept the cookie-cutter colors so many competitors recommend probably because they don't have a paint booth and can only offer pre-painted metal colors!  Are they recommending a color to you because it's the best for you, or because it's the best for them?  You don't want to look like everyone else.

Channel Lettering

Can you name a successful business who's sign is not a distinctive color?  Hard to do.  Why?  Psychologically a unique accent color increases your sign's appearance of success.  If you want to be successful, appear successful.  Interior designers are taught to use accent colors as a key feature of any "look" for this very important reason.

When deciding on letter colors, faces and returns, also consider which direction(s) the sign(s) will face.

Shadows from building elements and the letters/raceways themselves can dramatically affect the daytime readability of a channel letter sign unless you incorporate LetterLites™ faces.

For signs facing East, South or West consider using a backplate in a contrasting color, or  LetterLites™ faces to break the effects of shadows.  Read more about Back-Plates HERE.

We will help you with this important design decision, given the opportunity.

Protective Coatings For Lasting Durability

If your sign looks old and faded it will damage your business.  AT&T gave the following advice to their Yellow Pages customers, "If business is slow, what does your sign look like?"

Be sure to read about the sophisticated Protective Coatings we apply to all plastic parts of our signs.  They are very important to your continued success.

Click on HERE to learn more about our Protective Coatings Plastic Faces" page (it's tab is in the left column of this page.)

Are we sounding a false alarm that “…the sky is falling…” when we talk about protective coatings?  Acadian Ambulance is having to replace their only-5-year-old $15,000+ signs.  The accompanying picture was sent to us by Acadian.  We're told the faces were originally green with a black fleur-de-lis.  Now the signs internal LED lighting can hardly light the faces and they are "all blotchy".  They say that their signs look bad both day and night.  Buy carefully.  ("Click" on the picture to enlarge.)

Of course competitors who use pre-painted metal because they don't have paint booths certainly are lying if they say that they protect their plastics "...just like Signs Manufacturing."

Automatic Electronic Thermal Lighting Controls*

When our founder was very young he managed a supermarket, a grocery store.

He discovered that he could affect the store's business by simply turning -on- the store's signs on less-than-sunshiny days.  Cloudy and/or rainy days would have a higher sales volume than bright days, IF HE REMEMBERED TO TURN THE SIGNS ON.

And with the tinted window glass so prevalent in the South it is often-times hard to tell if a business is even open.

These are lessons every business person should be aware of.  And, with today's modern LED illuminated signage, it costs practically nothing to make your store really stand out!

What is the main reason our Sunburst™ LED outdoor digital signs increase a store-s business so dramatically?  Lighted signs draw much more attention than unlighted signs, even during the day!

Because we recognize how important this is, we will now install automatic electronic lighting controls on every lighted channel letter sign we manufacture*, factory calibrated to turn the sign -on- and -off- at times when lighting will help you do more business.  Over the past 40+ years, we have documented EXACTLY when channel letter-s lighting should be turned -on- to increase visibility on dark and/or rainy days, overcome shadows, and exactly when at dusk a sign should be turned -on.-  The whole purpose of the sign, after all, is to attract attention to your business.  We make your sign both more attention-getting AND more legible.

The setting varies for signs pointed East, West, North, or South, and varies for signs containing neon and/or LEDs.  It also varies by how the sign was built.

Our automatic electronic lighting controls are installed not only to recognize light levels, but also to sense shadows making signs less legible, and turn -on- the internal lighting accordingly.  Optimum settings are custom-set for every sign.

Another example of our doing everything we can to insure that our signs make your business the most successful.  As far as we know, no other sign manufacturer does this, for free or otherwise, for their customers.

If possible, have your electrician also wire a time clock to control the power supplying your signs.  The time clock should be set to keep the sign -off- at times they should never be lighted, say 2:30 AM to 5:30 AM, the rest of the time whether the sign is -on- or -off- should be determined by our automatic lighting controls.  The power-supplies used for powering neon and LEDs last much longer when given a chance to cool down occasionally.  Besides being wasteful, it increases service costs to leave them "on" 24/7.  USE ELECTRICITY WISELY TO MAKE YOUR BUSINESS THE MOST VISIBLE, BUT CONSERVE ENERGY AND MONEY.

Regarding -Energy Consumption- click on our "Energy Savings" page tabbed on our "Electrical" page (left column) and note how little energy our SolarBrite- LED lighted signs use in a year!  An entire 1-ballast LED-lighted sign only uses electricity equal to one (1) 60 watt incandescent light bulb.

Recognize that Intermatic and Tork time clocks, used by most electricians, are not finely adjustable, and at certain times of the year dawn and dusk occur at quickly-varying times, gaining or losing over 15 minutes of daylight each week.  If you only have a time clock controlling power to your signs, savvy business owners must reset their time clocks constantly and carefully, and manually override them to turn -on- their signs on dark days.  Good luck getting your employees to do this religiously - THIS IS ALSO WHY WE INCLUDE CALIBRATED AUTOMATIC THERMAL LIGHTING CONTROLS ON EVERY OUTDOOR SIGN WE MANUFACTURE.*  Incidentally, we DO NOT use photo cells or photo eyes.  They are neither precise nor reliable.

Anecdotal data suggests that increased profits resulting from this feature alone more than pays for the entire cost of the sign EVERY YEAR.

Unconvinced of the importance to you?  View our control system in operation, and our supporting testing, in our Sign Lighting Laboratory and Showroom.  Then you can decide if you agree that this is a critically important improvement in signage effectiveness.

*Dependent on size and design.  For instance, it is not possible to incorporate automatic electronic lighting controls in individual channel letters under 4 inches tall if they are being installed mounted directly on the wall with no raceway or wireway.  But any size channel letters with raceways or wireways can incorporate automatic electronic lighting controls.

Guaranteed Lowest Price

WHOLESALE TO THE PUBLIC!  Signs Manufacturing™ guarantees that our price will be the lowest price you can obtain on the product(s) described in this website; now or anytime during the next 90 days.

If you are offered a lower price by someone else we will match that lower price PLUS give you 10% of the difference.

The Effect of Your Sign on the Success of Your Business

Individual, lighted, “Channel Letters” are the storefront sign that identifies most retail businesses.

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! 

“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^®.”

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.

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.

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

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!

AT&T gave this advice to Yellow Pages customers, "If business is slow, what does your sign look like?

"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.)

“To make your business stand out, be prepared to spend on your signage.” Steve Strauss, USA TODAY

-Main identification signs for businesses, attractively designed and made so as to draw attention, don-t cost a penny.  So long as they remain in good repair they earn you money.  Anyone not recognizing this should not start a business.- Small Business Administration

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…”

I've never once had a customer tell me, "I'm so glad I bought that cheap sign, it really helped my business!" - Bill Watson

If you want to be successful, look successful!

Why Buy Fort Worth-Direct from a State-Licensed Company?

Why 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.

Ask to see a manufacturer's license also.  A few are not licensed to do electrical work, either, they also have to hire other companies to install the signs they make.

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 Complete Full Service Warranty plus Lifetime Warranties*.

The State of Texas does NOT allow the installation on non-Listed electrical signs, and a Texas Sign Contractors License (TSCL) is not evidence of an OSHA approved Listing for electrical signs.  Additional approvals are required.

Why are “Listed" Signs Critical to You?

Virtually ALL cities, as well as the State of Texas, adopt the National Electric Code as law.

The National Electric Code (NEC) requires that for electrical, structural, and installation safety all electrical signs be “Listed” (tested and labelled with an appropriate Listing Mark.)

Certification (testing and labeling) organizations acceptable in the USA to test to the multitude of Standards signs are required to meet are determined by OSHA.

For you the Listing Mark is insurance. It means that the sign has been tested to ensure that it is structurally and electrically safe, and will be installed properly. You benefit from the knowledge that it is not solely us telling you that our signs are safe—this is what the testing laboratories and the US Government say also.

Will your sign be tested and approved for safe use in a Wet (Outdoor) location? Not if it’s not Listed!

If the sign you are purchasing does not have an ETL or UL Listing Mark label the sign is probably not legal to install, anywhere in Texas. There are a few local city ordinance exceptions.

Buy carefully.
