These days, there are more Florida sign
companies than ever for local communities to choose from. However, not
all can offer the same quality and variety of signs, or at the same price.
Here's what to look for to identify the sign maker that's right for you:
1. Sign making specialty – There are lots
of businesses out there that say they can make signs, but that doesn't mean
they have the experience or equipment to make them right. When you need signs
for a community or any purpose, talk to an actual sign company. They will have
a better understanding of what you need, have more options for you, and are
likely to turn out a better looking product. They will also have the experience
to advise you on how to make your sign the best it can possibly be, warning you
if something in your design will not be visible or easy to read.
2. Durable, quality materials – Signs face many
sources of wear and tear. Most signs will be outside and exposed to the
elements including rain, sunlight, wind, and temperature extremes. Indoor signs
may be bumped into or may need to be handled and moved by staff. But no matter
where your sign is, you'll want it to last a long time and look just as sharp
years from now as it does today. Your sign company should be able to present
you with a wide range of high-quality material options, from banners to wooden
signs to steel and much more.
3. Customization – If all you
wanted to do was print your logo onto a plain prefabricated sign, you wouldn't
need to see a specialist. These days, more communities want custom shapes and
designs for their signs or are interested in three dimensional signs or
lettering. Your sign company should be able to have custom signs created in
almost any form you can imagine.
4. Computer Assisted Design – Good sign
companies use CAD programs to ensure total accuracy and reduce costs, and can
show you a three dimensional mockup of your sign before it is created.
5. Installation available – Some signs just
need to be bolted in place; others are much more complex than that. Your sign
maker should be able to offer full, on-site installation if you need it.
6. Bulk/package rates – Do you need signs
for multiple locations? Or one big sign and several smaller ones? Ask for a
bulk rate or a package discount when buying multiple signs.
