Signs Los Angeles | Signs and Banners = Sales!

Posted by Julie and Chris Ramirez on Tue, Aug 30, 2011 @ 06:08 AM

Signs, Banners and Sales!

Have you considered how new customers find your business or learn of your product?  There are many types of advertising and ways to grow your business; direct mail, social media, print ads, the Internet, and word of mouth are all effective ways to find exposure.  Yet none of these outlets are as prevalent, or permanent, as well constructed, thoughtful custom signs.  

Signs are one of the most effective, efficient, and cost conscious forms of media available to businesses.  Signs advertise to people passing your establishment who normally may not know of your business or products.  Signs tell people what you are selling, promote your brand, and are directly focused on the trade of the business.

Signs are affordable - if you compare the cost of signs to other advertising media, a well designed, on-site sign is quite inexpensive.  

Signs are for everyone - the use of signs is practical because reading signs is beneficial.  People read to remember and they retain the information on signs for future use.

Signs are on the job 24 hours a day, seven days a week - this can be considered non-stop, repeated messaging about your business, brand, and product.  Every time a customer passes your business, they see your sign; the simple message repetition will help them learn and think favorably of your business.

Los Angeles Signs | Marketing Your Business With Banners and Signs!

Posted by Julie and Chris Ramirez on Sat, Aug 27, 2011 @ 06:08 AM

Marketing Your Business With Signs and Banners!

No matter what your business is an economical and long lasting way to market your company is with the use of signs and banners.

With so much competition in the marketplace signs should stand out and be welcoming. Signs should give the customer an idea of what's behind the sign and hopefully what kind of experience they should be looking forward to. Signs should also catch the eye and become unforgettable. As a sign is often the first opportunity we have to market a business, we should try to get everything we want to express about our business into the sign. A great sign is probably the best investment in your company's advertising budget!

Banners are lightweight and easy to carry or ship to trade shows because they roll or can be flat packed taking up little space. Banners are a fun way to market your company or business. Because of the relative low-cost, banners can be replaced as business changes, you can always have your latest best seller on a banner. A well placed, bright and informational banner can bring a lot of business to your booth at a trade show. Banners can also be used to advertise specials or promotions.

Working with a good design team who understand your needs will enable you to create the signs and banners that will help your business grow.

If you have any questions or need assistance with anything, please give us a call at The Sign Studio (818) 843-9200 or send us an e-mail at info@signstudiola.com.

Los Angeles Signs | Light up Your Business with Illuminated Signs!

Posted by Julie and Chris Ramirez on Fri, Aug 26, 2011 @ 06:08 AM

Light up Your Business with Illuminated Signs!

Do you need illuminated signs or a light box for your business?

What are L.E.D. Illuminated Signs?

LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. LED technology has been in use since the 1960s. Illuminated signs can be freestanding or fixed to a building.

Some of the Benefits of LED Lighting:

  • Your business will be seen 24/7
  • Uses 12 volts, as opposed to neon, which uses up to 9,000 to 15,000 volts.
  • Comparable brightness to neon
  • LED illuminated signs last up to 100,000 hours when properly installed
  • Reduced fire hazards because of low voltage system
  • Savings of up to 80% power over traditional neon-lighted signs, resulting in a 3 year return on investment via power cost savings
  • Cleaner and simpler installation than neon
Neon has been faithfully leading the industry for illuminated signs for over a hundred years and is still a good option. Change is inevitable, however, and The Sign Studio is on the leading edge of exciting LED technology.

We’re here to help you with your signage needs!For more information about the benefits of LED Illuminated Signs, visit our blog.
