Are You Afraid Your New Signage Won't Live Up To Your Expectations?

(How do you avoid getting stuck with signs you're just not happy with?)

Online custom sign and banner shops have become like self-service gas stations. You're left out in the cold to figure out everything on your own. Unfortunately, getting new signs that are just right for your business isn't as straightforward as filling up with gas. Especially if you're not exactly sure what your options are.

Our graphic designer can show you your options, in real time, even if you're 2,000 miles away
How in the world can you work one-on-one with a graphic designer if you're 2,000 miles away? With our signature service called Live Design, we set up a live web conference from your computer monitor to ours. Live Design allows you to watch the designer's screen in real time.

It's just as if you were sitting side-by-side looking at the same computer monitor. As you watch your design being created, we encourage you to ask for all the changes you want until the design matches exactly what you're looking for. In fact, there are no limits to the amount of changes you can make. Go on…be as picky as you like!


Why Live Design?
There are many benefits to the Live Design service compared to traditional email proofs;

  • Interactive design allows you to see changes back and forth in real time
  • Gives you the opportunity to "Try It, Before You Buy It"
  • Save yourself time by making any changes during the session
  • Draw on the experience of a professional sign designer
  • Most custom designs can be fully developed in 33 minutes or less!
  • There's no charge and there's no obligation to buy, ever.

Want to know more?
Here are the answers to some of our more commonly asked questions;

What are the advantages of a live design session over proofing by email?
Proofs sent through email are a very good way to see your sign design. The drawback is that it sometimes takes multiple emails with many small changes to get the exact look you want. Whereas during a live design session, you can make those changes immediately until it's perfect.

What if I am not sure what kind of design I want?
The graphic designer is there to help you develop your ideas into a sign that has the look and feel that will work best for you. We have no doubt you'll be quite pleased with the results!

How is this better than using a local sign shop?
The obvious answer is that it is more convenient because you don't have to deal with traffic and you don't have to waste your gas. The not-so-obvious answer is, in the sign industry it is highly unusual to be able to deal directly with the graphic designer.

During the live design session, you will have a direct, live communication channel between you and the designer. That way, nothing gets lost in translation. You get to see your ideas and design concepts materialize in real time. (Did we mention that this was "real time"?)

How much time does it take?
The complimentary design time is for 33 minutes. Most sign designs can be completed within this time frame, or less.

What if someone else needs to approve the sign?
We suggest that if someone else is required for design approval, that you have them available for the live design session. However, they do not have to be at the same computer with you. They can join in the Live Design Session from their own computer, even if it's 2,000 miles away!

Just let us know if more than one person will be involved in the session so that we can send those involved the login information as well.

"It's hard enough to find exceptional customer service during the week, much less on the weekend!"

When I first found TheSignChef.com on the internet, I noticed they had extended hours. So I figured, what the heck, let me call and see if someone is actually there. I was pleasantly surprised to find I was speaking to a real, live human being instead of an answering machine. After all, this was on a Sunday afternoon!

After I briefly explained what I was looking for, Tim recommended I try their Live Design service. I have to admit, I was a bit intrigued by the idea of watching the graphic designer as she designed our new sign live because I didn't know exactly what I wanted. And I felt like I needed some guidance to get the right size letters and look I was going for.

Fortunately, the designer had a time slot available on Monday so we set it up.

When Monday came I was wow'd again! I was speaking directly to the designer and watching the design take shape on my monitor at the same time. The professional manner and patience of the designer put me right at ease. I kept asking her to show me different options so I could get the sign just so.

Without any hesitation, she made every change I asked for. I couldn't have been more pleased with the personal experience or the outcome because the design turned out exactly like I wanted!

And yet, I was still a little worried the signs wouldn't actually look as good as they did on the screen because quite frankly, this level of customer service seemed almost too good to be true. Especially after some rather disappointing experiences with 3 other sign companies.

However, I received confirmation that my order shipped ahead of schedule on Tuesday and when I opened the package on Thursday, the signs were absolutely perfect, I mean perfect!

I have already been recommending TheSignChef.com to others and I know exactly who I will be calling when I need signs again.
