Sign of the times...

Why do I need a sign for my business?

There are many reasons, the most primary of these being:

• Signs are the most effective, yet least expensive, form of advertising for the small business.
• A sign is your introduction and handshake with those passing by, identifying your business to existing and potential customers.
• Signs are always on the job for you, advertising 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
  People often judge a business by how it looks on the sign.
• Many merchants increase their business measurably just by adding a good sign. Conversely, many have gone out of business because they simply were not identified well, so not enough potential customers knew of their existence. As one sign industry professional put it, "A business without a sign is a sign of no business."
• We live in a mobile society. According to the United States Census Bureau, 18% of households relocate each year. As your customers move, you need to replace them by attracting new customers.

For additional information, please review the Understanding the Value of Signage section.

Is signage expensive?

• Signage is the least expensive, yet most effective, form of advertising for independent and national retail businesses.
• You pay for the sign once and it works for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for years. Use of other media requires paying month after month and you never have the benefit of ownership.
• You also have no assurance that you're reaching potential customers.
  From a business owner's perspective, a sign should not be viewed as an expense, but as a capital investment. When you factor in your return on investment, signs are not expensive.
• An effective sign will most likely pay for itself many times over.
• The price for signage will vary greatly depending upon the size, design, style,

Joke Of The Day - $50 Dollars!

Morris and his wife Esther went to the state fair every year, And every year Morris would say, 'Esther, I'd like to ride in that helicopter.' Esther always replied, 'I know Morris, but that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, And fifty dollars is fifty dollars' One year Esther and Morris went to the fair, and Morris said, 'Esther, I'm 85 years old. If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance.' To this, Esther replied, 'Morris that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars.' The pilot overheard the couple and said, 'Folks I'll make you a deal. I'll take the both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and don't say a word I won't charge you a penny! But if you say one word it's fifty dollars.' Morris and Esther agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of fancy maneuvers, but not a word was heard. He did his daredevil tricks over and over again, But still not a word. When they landed, the pilot turned to Morris and said, 'By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't. I'm impressed!' Morris replied, 'Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said something when Esther fell out, But you know, fifty dollars is fifty dollars!'

"Why Use Signs?"

"Why should I have a sign?" is a question I often hear from small business and farm owners. The answer usually varies depending on your business type and format. In a highly impulse oriented business, great signs can be the difference between the success or failure of the business. Good, professionally designed signs can increase a business's opportunity for success.

Signs are one of the most affordable ways to advertise your businesses, and most businesses -in this economy -- don't have a dollar to waste. The United States Small Business Administration Bulletin Number 101 on signage for businesses says, "...signs are the most effective, yet least expensive form of advertising for the small business." What's more, signs are always on the job for you, advertising 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

If appropriately designed and placed, your sign will develop top-of-mind awareness of your product or service in all who routinely pass by. An integral part of creating "street level" awareness. Sometimes a sign is the only indication that your business is there. In such cases, your sign should be the focal point of your building entrance or street frontage exposure.

Because of enhanced sign technology, sign faces can be easily changed or retrofitted to match evolving economic marketing circumstances. New developments in lighting, plastics, and paint mean signs can now achieve the same visual effect as four-color magazine advertising.

We'll cover more topics like this in upcoming posts....until then, Have a great day!
