If you are deciding how much you want to invest in your business’ sign, consider this: "customers are more willing to buy what you are selling if your storefront signage appeals to them." All businesses, from Small corner-stores to large corporations, want to be sure that the money they spend marketing their business is well spent. The return on investment of a professional, custom business sign, has been proven time and time again. Here is what the experts from Huffington Post has to say: “A sign can make or break your business. Size, design and wording can be the deciding factor as to whether a new customer walks through the door or keeps driving to your competitor". A high percentage, around 76% of people have said they would enter a store they've never been in before based on its sign, while almost 68% have actually purchased a product because a sign caught their attention. While signs can draw in customers from the street, they can also be good general marketing tools. Seventy-five percent of those polled said they've told someone about a business simply based on its signage. Sixty-eight percent of respondents said they believe a store's sign is reflective of the quality of products or services that the business offers and 52 percent said they are less willing to enter a business with misspelled or poorly made signs. If you think a sign isn't worth your investment, think again -- 60 percent of consumers are deterred from entering a business with no signage. According to the results, two to three signs on a storefront will get your business the attention it deserves.” And if you need further convincing about whether you should invest in a custom sign for your Seattle business, the U.S. Small Business Administration has this to say: "The on-premise sign is a permanent asset which, unlike other media, is exclusive to the business it advertises. Also unlike other advertising media, it is on the job 24 hours a day, 365 days a year." How do you create a successful business sign? Creating signage is not just about sticking your logo on a window. A well, thought out design, balances the necessary information (like the business’ name) with elements that customers can connect with emotionally. Colors, typography, graphics or even catchy tag lines can appeal to customers.

Longer Lasting
Quality LEDs can last as long as 50,000 to 100,000 hours, which is a full 3 to 6 years longer than fluorescent and neon. Not only do they outlast other bulbs, but because they don’t have any gases that can leak out and cause dimness, they also maintain a better level of brightness throughout their lifespans. 2. Eye-catching Brightness One of the main things distinguishing LED signs apart from other signs is their striking brightness. LED technology is unique in that it produces a brilliant, yet clear light that is easy to read both close up and from a distance. Also, it stands out boldly in the night and is even intense enough to see when the sun’s shining. This means that no matter what time of day, and regardless of whether your customers are walking or driving past, they can get a clear impression of your sign’s message or logo. 3. Environmentally Friendly Typical LED signs use only around 10 watts of power, which is around 80% less energy than neon systems. This lower power requirement results in less strain on the environment, helps you adhere to stricter energy standards, and makes a significant reduction in your lighting costs. Also, unlike neon and fluorescent lights, LEDs don’t have any toxic gases like mercury or argon and are “cleanly” recycled. Furthermore, LEDs put off much less heat than other bulbs, so if your sign is indoors, you don’t have to worry about it warming up your rooms and driving up the air conditioning bill. 4. Lower Maintenance Considering their long lifespans, even brightness, and efficiency, it’s easy to understand why LED signs have far fewer maintenance demands than other systems. LEDs don’t contain any gasses or glass tubes, (which often leak or break), they’re easy to clean (no hot or fragile tubes to deal with), and they essentially never burn out. They work well in outdoor applications and don’t need significant protection from the elements (unlike fluorescent and incandescent bulbs). However, there are “waterproof” LED systems for extremely wet or humid areas. Ultimately, their simplicity and ruggedness make them a breeze to install and a headache free investment. 5. Greater Signage Options With LEDs you can use virtually any combination of lights and create all types of movement, digital flashes, color changes, and animations. This versatility is simply not possible with neon and fluorescent signs. LEDs are composed of multiple, separate lights (not long glass tubes) and can be programmed to flash, fade, or light up independently. This flexibility makes it possible to show off your business’ distinctive logo or to display any other type of attention-grabbing image. LED and neon signs are fairly comparable in price, so your ultimate decision will likely come down to what you want to get from your sign. If you’re looking for a sign to stand out from the crowd and get noticed — all while saving you energy and maintenance — there’s nothing that can top LED. "So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California! But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee! Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring." — Martin Luther King Jr.
