Good signs incorporate design and marketing decisions creating the message, look, colors, sign types, sizes, quantities, etc. to create the required impact.

Quoting U. S. Small Business Administration research, 89% of businesses that fail do so because of improper signage!

Stated differently, good signage gives a business an almost 90% probability of success.

Whether they are illuminated channel letters, neon signs, lighted sign cabinets, LED message centers, pole signs, pylon signs, or monument signs that light, outdoor custom electric signs in front of your business are the least costly means of advertising available to you over time.

It is the most targeted advertising you can do according to the U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA), which also states that 85% of a businesses 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.

If a sign costs you money it is not doing its job. It should effectively advertise your company and earn you money.

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.

US Small Business Administration The SBA says that an LED Digital Electronic Message Center increases store volume 15 - 150%.

Purchasing the right signs for the job helps a business survive by bringing higher sales volume.

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…"

FREE ESTIMATES 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.)

City Signs Ordinances, and Landlord Lease Restrictions, can doom a business.

Most City Sign Ordinances can be accessed by visiting our "Permits & Approvals" page after accessing our "Installation & Service" page if you care to learn about them without contacting us. However we have worked with them for so long we know most of them by heart.

Remember the axiom "Location, Location, Location!" The supreme importance of "location" is the numbers of potential customers that will see your signs...and be able to read and understand them. 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.

With 18.6% of the entire US population moving each year, your sign will be constantly seen by MANY potentially new customers.

The Dallas/Fort Worth "Metroplex" is the fastest growing large city in the United States. It is the fourth fastest growing city in the world.

North Texas is expected to gain 4,000,000 new residents in the next 4 years! The business economy HERE remains healthy! Over 100 new businesses are started in just the D/FW Metroplex every week.

The large "National" companies have placed expansion plans on "hold", world-wide and Texas-wide, because of their over-all problems; leaving lots of opportunity for local and regional businesses in North Texas.

Don't let the "doom-n-gloomers" talk you out of being successful. This is the best time ever to start a new business in North Texas.

Why Buy Factory-Direct?

Why not buy from a Sign Dealer (also called a Sign Broker or a Sign Store?) There are literally hundreds of them.

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 (sign broker 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 so he can make more money?

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, sign brokers and sign stores cannot legally install or service an electric sign. And they cannot pay to have it installed. It is illegal in Texas to fool consumers by pretending to be an electrician, even if they then hire licensed electricians to do the work. Ask to see their license.

Ask to see a manufacturer's license also. A few are not licensed to do electrical work, either.

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 manufacturer, by law, 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.

If you wonder if a sign-seller can legally install and service electrical signs through-out Texas go to http://www.license.state.tx.us/LicenseSearch/, enter "Electricians" in the "Inquire by License Type" box and the name of the sign business or person in the "Inquire by Name" box. If they are not licensed they can not.

Someone can sell you signs and not be allowed to have them installed or serviced. You will 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, again State law, with a few local city ordinance exceptions. It is not illegal to sell them, however.
