LED displayAccording to the SBA studies and our clients, businesses who
invested in an Outdoor LED Sign saw sales increase 15%-150%! This percentage
difference is mainly based on the ability to display effective messages and
no one can help you better than The Sign Company. Not only does an LED Display
produce a great return on investment, it costs very little compared to other
types of business advertising. Those just adding them are getting 15% while
others who understand the messaging and marketing ability are getting as high
as 150%. Unmistakably, the average cost to achieve 1000 impressions (CPM) on
consumers as they pass your business is less than 10% of the cost to reach
them using any other marketing medium, including TV, radio and newspaper advertising.
For example, a small business that makes $1,000.00 a day in gross income adds
an Outdoor LED sign. The business quickly increases by the minimum 15%, adding
another $150 per day in total revenue. That turns into an additional $1,050.00
a week in revenue, or $54,600.00 per year.
Businesses often select their advertising medium, and messages, based upon
the CPT (cost per thousand) exposures of their message to the public. On this
basis, no other form of advertising or marketing comes close to matching the
efficiency and cost-effectiveness, dollar for dollar, of outdoor LED signs.
Compare the figures.
Signage is a one time investment lasting 10 or more years while other forms
of marketing stop working as soon as you stop paying. LED signs have produced
some of the most dramatic sales increases for businesses and at 90% less cost
then other marketing methods! Getting your sign noticed by passing traffic
doesn't happen by accident. A recent storage company's new sales are double
that of comparable companies with similar locations & traffic. Boxer Auto
Sales is seeing a 10-to-1 ROI on their LED sign. Best Value Inn is up $9,000.00
a month. Extreme Electronics is enjoying a 25% increase in business. Rapid
Repair Auto is seeing 50% of new customers come from their LED sign. Specialty
Trailer & Outdoor Power Equipment is up 100%. These are just a few of examples
of those taking signage ROI seriously. Compare an investment in an LED sign
(about the daily cost of lunch) to anything your are currently doing. From
SBA case studies and U.S. Chamber of Commerce information to our many clients,
NO ONE knows more about the return on investment from signage than we do. We
are the #1 Optec LED Sign distributor in North America!
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce states that most businesses do not make signage
a priority, yet it is their most important business tool, bringing in up to
50% of their business! It's unfortunate that so many businesses do not place
proper importance on their signage. Furthermore, most small businesses put
their money in Yellow Page, Newspaper and Radio advertising only to find that
those closest to them come in, wasting about 90% of the advertising dollars
on customers that will not travel the distance but seek a competitor. LED signs
attract those with your immediate area where 85% of sales come from and most
importantly, it increases the visibility of the business. You also have total
control of the messages.
Advertising is not about spending less than your competitors; it's about having
the ability to spend more while doing it better. Many private and government
studies have proven that 85% of business sales come from signage. Dramatically
improving your signage is the best investment. An LED Display is 20X more visible
than a static sign. You own the form of advertising and it works 24/7.
Talk to as many clients of ours as you like. We have churches filling up
their schools and events with an Electronic Sign alone; hotels seeing a dramatic
rise in bookings; auto & sports utility companies doubling sales. The bottom
line is when you look at your current marketing methods and cost, there is
no doubt an Outdoor LED Sign will increase you business well beyond the investment,
while the cost-per-customer is far less than anything you are doing now (see
below).
Unlike TV, radio and newspapers, your ad does not end when the commercial
is over or the paper gets thrown out. Plus, the LED sign serves your immediate
area where 85% of your business comes from rather than the whole city or county.
Why pay so much more? Whether you replace an existing advertising method or
add an LED Business Sign to the mix, the cost is so economical compared to
the results, it truly becomes a matter of when you can begin to accelerate
your business results.

There are two main reasons why some business do so much better with LED signs
than others. The difference is what causes the 15%-150% variance the SBA found
in their study. While 15% is quite a good sales increase and worth it, the
ability to see the high end of the variance is based on two factors: The first
is the ability to understand effective message writing and the second is selecting
the proper LED sign based on several variables. Through our presentation, you
will see that no one can come close to the effectiveness we have given to our
clients. While others sell LED signs and basically let the customer choose
what they want and then wish them well on message writing, we take the 2 factors
to a whole new level. Call us to set up a presentation and see the real difference

When you buy local products, you strengthen our local economy by keeping dollars
in our community, helping sustain local businesses and create jobs.
Buying local may sometimes (but not always) mean paying slightly higher prices
for products and services, since purchasing power for smaller businesses is
usually less than that of the corporate giants. So why buy local?
- Circulation: The dollar you spend stays in the community.
- Business: Local business owners provide jobs and donate time and money
to many community activities.
- Cost savings: Locally-produced goods save transportation costs.
- Stability: Greater self-sufficiency in meeting essential needs makes us
less vulnerable to shifts in prices and availability from distant sources.
- Carrying capacity: Increasing our self-sufficiency, while maintaining the
health of our own bioregion, decreases our impact on distant bioregions.
Be aware of the impact of your dollars.
A locally owned independent business (LOIB) returns approximately 80% of each
dollar spent back to the community. A LOIB assists the community through a "multiplier
effect": one dollar spent at a locally-owned business will return five
times that amount within the community through city taxes, employees' wages,
and purchase of materials and supplies at other independent businesses. In addition,
a LOIB will turn that dollar back into the community through school funding,
social services, and contributions to local non-profit organizations.
Chains and franchises contribute roughly 40% and at times as little as 20%
of the stores sales back into the community through employee wages, sales taxes
and property taxes. Frequently, a chain store's location is owned by the larger
non-local company, and the business is given tax breaks by the city in order
for shareholder profits to remain high. Locally owned independent businesses
do not receive such benefits and thus contribute a far greater proportion of
revenues to local taxes.
