Church Signs Fill Advertising Gap for Cash-Strapped Churches reports EZSignsOnline.com

Worton, Md. (PRWEB) June 18, 2009 -- It's one of those effects of a bad economy that you seldom consider until someone mentions it: Churches are not advertising as much, and as a result, are not drawing as many people to their services (as reported by D. Burke, Religion News Service).
The lagging advertising trend is due to a couple of reasons, both related to the current recession: First, people are giving less in the church offering, which means the church has less money to spend on radio or newspaper ads. And second, newspapers, which are on the verge of extinction, are raising their ad rates, struggling to break even--and often pricing churches out of the market. read more...

Using Signs to Modify Customer Purchase Habits

Modifying Customary Purchase Habits
One of the primary goals of advertising is to change purchase behaviors. Effective advertising can increase purchases within discrete segments of the market by introducing "intervening opportunities" along customary travel paths. This is especially so in highly discretionary areas, such as quick service foods and economy lodging, yet it holds true, also, for the business with more specialized products or services to offer.
Generally, a business' fixed and variable costs should be covered from a stable consumer pool, with profits coming in from unexpected sources. The right sign often prompts an unplanned stop, or changes the customer's mind once he is on the premises. Changeable copy and temporary window signs are especially effective in encouraging variation from accustomed consumption patterns. Because temporary or variable message signage is relatively inexpensive, the dollars generated by such signage usually represent pure profit.
It is estimated that 35-50 percent of the consumer population today shops outside their local area. Legible, conspicuous on-premise signage will assist in attracting a large percentage of these non-local and newcomer consumers. Further, an effective on-premise sign provides 24-hour exposure of its message to a large pool of potential customers at a fraction of the cost (when depreciated over several years) of other media. The lower the cost to obtain customer memory or top-of-mind awareness, the higher the return on advertising dollars.

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!'
