This placement attracts the most attention from motorists, foot traffic and potential clients.

Real Estate Signs Are the Beginning Steps to Selling Your Property!

Eye-catching real estate signs are a necessity for generating interest, calls, and sales for all types of properties.

If you are selling your home yourself or have enlisted the help of an agent, real estate signs are required for successful property marketing. Potential buyers visit the neighborhoods they are interested in - strolling or driving through looking for any new homes that have been put up for sale.

Placing an informative and engaging sign is key to attracting customers. Locating real estate signs using a frame at the entrance of subdivisions is one of the first steps in marketing your property and letting potential buyers know it's available. Using real estate signs to lead to the property assists your buyers in navigating easily and successfully. These beginning steps are key in getting your potential buyers successfully to the property.

Real estate signs need to be noticable, with bold colors and readable lettering, and must include contact information and other pertinent information that may aid in selling the property. The information displayed on your real estate signs is of utmost importance - too much can be confusing and overwhelming too little can discourage buyers from looking further or contacting you about the property. Real estate signs should include the proper phone number, listing number, and, when appropriate, additional property information.

Real estate signs that provide the quantity of bedrooms, bathrooms or even the square footage of the property can also be beneficial and helpful. Real estate signs also commonly display "rider" signs. Rider signs are smaller signs attached to your real estate signs, providing additional information, like "City View" or "Must See". Incorporating these eye catching phrases on your real estate signs allow buyers to know some exclusive items or details they will see when viewing the property.

Other details that may enhance your property sales include decorative stakes, open house banners, and brochure boxes.

Examples of Advertising Flags

Business Signs are Your Most Affordable and Most Successful Marketing Tool!

Business signs are one of the most cost effective advertising campaigns available for companies with limited marketing funds. Our custom signs are available at a much lower cost than radio, television, or newspaper advertising efforts. When it comes to reaching a large consumer audience nothing works better than well-designed and well-placed business signs.

Successful business signs are not only found near or directly attached to companies, they can be found off-site too. Strategically placed yard signs, sidewalk signs and even vehicle magnetic signs enable you to convey a concise message to an even larger market.

To be a successful business in today's market you can't rely solely on word of mouth. Let our business signs come to the rescue. Use custom signs to work non-stop for you and your business - while not everyone in your target market is in need of your product or service at this precise time, in the future they may be, and an eye-catching, informative sign will help your customers keep you in mind. Signs that present your company's logo, information, and services are exposing your company to new clients on a daily basis, planting or branding your business into their thoughts and memory.

Frequently your business signs work subconsciously. Clients may not realize they ever even noticed your business sign, until one day when they need your products or services - and zing! Your customer knows exactly who to contact! They have noticed your business signs, possibly without realizing it, each and every time they drove past it. As they were exposed to your signs your company image became planted deeper and deeper in their memory.

Consider the placement of your signs. Business signs near the road are great for attracting new customers. Placing your custom signs at key locations in your store or around your company can generate impulse buys and inform your clients of additional services you offer.

Example of a Real Estate Sign using Photography

Real Estate Signs, and Some Effective Advertising Strategies!

Real estate sales depend on projecting an image of quality and compentence. A well-designed real estate sign must provide information about the property and realtor - often at a glance.

Including a realtor's photo is an effective way to get the most out of your real estate signs. More often than you know, real estate signs that incorporate images of popular realtors into their design are often contacted merely on the reputation of the realtor. Using custom real estate signs, complete with a professional head-shot of the realtor, placed where they can be seen all over town, conveys to the buyer that this agent is dedicated, successful, popular and may be the right fit for them as they search for property. Reputation can mean a lot in this market so give your clients a good look at the realtor they will be depending on. You may find that your professional-looking, long-lasting, custom-made real estate signs result in a faster and more successful purchase or sale.

We offer other products beyond the sign itself that provide additional advertising strategies to secure a sale. Real estate signs can also be designed to include a brochure box. Providing flyers on your custom signs can assist you in narrowing in on the perfect qualified buyer for a property. Our hanging and mounting accessiories can dress up the look of your sign - giving it a more elegant feel. Custom riders attached to the sign can give potential clients more information about the property with a quick glance.

The important thing to remember is that real estate signs are the first thing a potential buyer sees. Use professional, sharp-looking, and informative real estate signs to attract individuals to your property. As you bring in more and more customers you will see how effective your real estate signs were in closing that sale.

"What are the most popular types of Business Signs?"

Acrylic Business Signs

Picture of an Acrylic Plastic Wall Sign

Acrylic signs are one of our most popular choices for business signs. Its rich, corporate, sleek, contemporary look commands attention, giving your business the exposure it deserves. Acrylic business signs, with their flamed polished edges have the appearance of heavy glass, without the cost and difficult installation.

Unlike glass, our acrylic business signs can be custom cut to any shape or size to accommodate your business needs. When you require a professional, sophisticated business image, acrylic signs are the ideal choice for your business signs.

The benefit of using a custom sign company is the variety of options when it comes to customizing your business signs. We can precisely cut acrylic into any shape, using our laser. In addition, the laser can permanently etch your business logo or company message into the plastic itself. Depending on the image you desire, this etching can be on the front or back of your acrylic business signs.

Acrylic is commonly used for interior business signs, but can also be an option for exterior signage as well. Plastic acrylic is often used to produce outdoor lighted sign panels. However, when you require high impact sign panels we suggest our Acrysteel or Lexan brand plastic sign panels.

Replacement Plastic Sign Faces

Replacement plastic sign faces are readily available in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors. Replacement sign faces are usually slide into the end of a lighted sign cabinet. These replacement sign faces are crafted differently than other plastic signs, in order to insure the lettering and graphics are properly displayed at night.

Flat panel replacement sign panels are the most affordable, therefore usually the most common choice for business signs. However for a more expensive, custom sign panel appearance, our clients request molded plastic sign faces. These molded plastic sign faces can be designed with either flat lettering or embossed (raised) lettering.

In addition to a more professional look, molded plastic sign faces are easier to install and have blow out resistance. Because molded sign faces give your business signs structure, the panels won't bend, flop or bow like large flat sign panels can.

When you requir replacement sign panels 4'x8' or larger, structure is important. The larger your replacement signs panels are the more structure it should have, making molded sign panels the perfect choice. We are here to assist in making sure you select the correct sign panels for your business signs, regardless of size or price.

Aluminum Business Signs

Picture of an Aluminum Wall Sign

Aluminum is probably one of the most popular and versatile choices when it comes to business signs. With aluminum, your business signs are available in virtually any shape, color, size and thickness. When your company is in need of large, rigid seamless business signs, aluminum signs are even available in sheets up to 6' tall and 12' wide.

Aluminum's lightweight but rigid attributes make it an ideal sign material for a large assortment of applications, both indoors and outdoors. For small interior business signs to jumbo-size exterior business signs, aluminum can accommodate any size, style or climate application.

Because metal business signs are produced from anodized aluminum, they are rust-proof, resistant to chemicals and can weather most elements. In fact, aluminum signage is often requested by government agencies for harsh, salt-water and marine applications.

When a thicker "beefy" appearance is required for your business signs, check out ARMOUR-Wood, alumalite or dibond. Below is a breakdown of sign materials and their strength ratings. We are always here to assist you with any questions.

"What are the best types of signage or graphics to use when designing custom signs?"

From the Desk of Tim Harrelson - Founder and "Hands-On CEO"

Dear Fellow Business Professional:

Are you still trying to figure out the best type of signage or graphics to use, all by yourself?

Do you even know what your options are? Unfortunately, reaching the right sign decisions on your own can be time consuming and difficult. And if you don't take certain precautions, you could end up making a costly mistake. So where do you start?

The best place to start is with a targeted message
Your advertising message should connect with the people whose attention you most want to attract and impress. Who is your perfect customer? What problem does your company solve for them? What your message says is critically important.

It's not just what you say though, it's how you say it.
The real magic of all great signs is in the design. And here's the world's greatest example:

Plain Fast Food Signs

Do you think McDonald's would have become the icon it is today with just these plain, boring words? Just look at the difference!

Fast Food Custom Lighted Signs
The most recognized sign in the world!

Ahhhhh … those golden arches! By following the right design principles, any small business can become a well known icon in their local business community.

Want a more down-to-earth example of how a simple design can dramatically affect public perception? Let's look at our very own business sign as a case in point.

In discussions with clients, they often assume we are this huge company or part of a national sign franchise due to the appearance of our name and logo. However, we are a classic example of "Small Business America".

No, we're not a franchise.

With 15 employees, we're certainly not huge either (in fact, don't be surprised if you catch me answering your call). But the professional looking image of our sign automatically attracts new clients day after day. And if you make all the right decisions, your new business signage can do the same for you too!

"When my local sign shop dropped the ball, I couldn't believe I was actually able to find somebody open on a Sunday to help me out of a jam!"

Custom Vinyl sign Banner Ordered OnlineWith my big event a week away, I had placed my order for some full-color vinyl banners with another sign company. They promised me the vinyl banners would be ready to pick up on Saturday. But when I called, all I got was voice mail. So I decided to drive on over to see what was going on. The sign business was closed, just as I suspected.

Talk about mad! I was furious because these custom banner signs were an essential part of our big event on Monday night and they knew it!

Unfortunately, everyone else I tried in the phone book was closed too. I was starting to run out of time!

The only other option I could think of was to search the internet and see if I could find someone to help me. When I found TheSignChef.com, I was just sitting there scanning the website when Tim popped up on live chat and asked me if I had any questions.

"Yes!"

When I told Tim what I needed, he came up with a great idea. Not only would he get all three digital banners printed for me, he could put them on a Greyhound Bus for morning delivery since all the other carriers were closed on Sunday. That was at 3:03 pm. Within five hours, Tim called to tell me my custom banners were printed, packaged and on the bus.

"What a relief!"

And my event? It was a huge success due in no small part to Tim and his team at TheSignChef.com. I couldn't have been happier with how my custom banner signs turned out. The quality and colors were perfect. All this, and I didn't even have to pay a rush charge.

With customer service this good on the weekend, TheSignChef.com must spoil their other clients rotten during the week!

"How can I attract customers outside of my local region?"

It is estimated that 33%-50% of customers shop outside of their immediate local area. Highly visible custom business signs will help draw a significant number of these mobile consumers to Stop, Shop and Buy.

Attractive and noteworthy signage will stay in the brains of people who see it - even if they are only tourists in your area!

Custom lettering or decals on your vehicles (cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, even boats!!) can attract customers while your are driving around in or out of town.
