Signature
Sign, Inc.

Committed to Excellence and Equipped to Serve

CUSTOMER CONSULTATION - The first step in any sign manufacturing project is the creation of an image that accurately conveys the identity and service or product of the business. This image must compliment the architectural appearance of the facility, and offer the opportunity to become a valuable sales tool that can be used throughout your business. Shape, color and letter styles together create a sign with eye appeal.

CREATE A DESIGN - Our talented design staff can work with you to create an image or build on your existing logo. Structural design, wind load factors, and durability of the material used are all considered in developing your sign. Specialists in the code requirements of your municipality will make certain that what has been designed can actually be installed. Scaled and detailed drawings can also be produced.

PROPOSAL AND PRESENTATION - We will conduct a complete survey of your site and give you a presentation with our proposal, showing photographs as your site appears at present and the way it will look with your new signage. Our estimating department will develop an accurate and complete quotation using materials which will offer you the most value for your money.

WHY DO THE COUNTRY'S LEADING NATIONAL ACCOUNTS RELY ON SIGNATURE SIGN? - Simply put, Signature Sign offers a complete installation service for the national sign manufacturer. Today there are many companies in the country who manufacture signs for national business concerns such as fast food restaurants, automobile sales agencies, retail outlets, and a wide variety of multiple location facilities. These manufacturers rely on local or regional sign companies to install, service, and maintain these signs. The leading national companies have come to rely on Signature Sign for the total one-stop service we offer. From estimate, to permitting, to variance (if required), and site coordination, Signature Sign covers every aspect of the project. Excavation of foundations, cooperation with other site contractors, proper placement of foundations, handling of actual sign installation, to final electrical connection, the national sign forwarding company has only one contact to deal with. These are the reasons Signature Sign is repeatedly called upon to handle both routine and time-sensitive installations of national account signage.

WHAT OTHER SERVICES DOES SIGNATURE SIGN PROVIDE? - Signature Sign will survey locations, determine local ordinance factors and offer you a complete worry-free installation service. With the proven ability to handle in excess of three hundred locations or only one location, you can rely on the accurante and proper completion of each assigned installation.

Surveys - Planning is the key to providing economical and efficient surveys. Many of our clients are responsible for facilities that they have never seen. Our survey gives them an in-depth look at each site, and assists in the decision making process for new signage. Our sign survey package consists of the following: a) site visit by our professional staff; b) plot plans; c) list of existing signs including dimensions and photographs; and d)building elevations.

Permits/Variances - Signature Sign has a full-time permit department that is experienced in local codes. We will complete the permitting process from start to finish. If variances are required, our professional staff will research, prepare, and attend the hearing.

SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

SERVICE - No matter how carefully electrical signs are constructed; no matter how high the quality of the components used; there will come a time when repair or service is required.

WHY REPAIR YOUR SIGN? - There is no advertising that a business uses that is more important than a sign. It is the very first impression a potential customer receives; it sells your business 24 hours a day. The per exposure cost of sign advertising is the least expensive advertising you will ever purchase. It is vital to the image of your business to keep this tool in excellent repair, because the impression created by the sign's appearance is a direct reflection of what the potential customer will expect.

WHAT MAKES OUR REPAIR SERVICE DIFFERENT? - Many sign service companies will offer you a lower labor rate, but during the initial call they will report that "We don't have the needed part on the truck. We'll be back." Signature Sign will arrive at your facility with a truck that is completely stocked. There are only a few circumstances that may prevent the completion of your service call in one visit. Signature Sign has the equipment to service up to 55 feet with one man, providing your sign is designed for one man service.

WHY DOES OUR SERVICE WORK COST YOU LESS? - Often our new clients are hesitant, fearing the length of travel from our plant to their business. However, they soon learn that our complete stock of parts, our modern equipment, and the training of our service personnel actually results in a reduction of costs. For our out of town calls, a conservative service charge is added, rather than travel time.

MAINTENANCE - The proper maintenance of your sign, your exterior or interior decorative neon, and your parking lot lights is a planned expense to protect your investment as well as insure a good image. A half-lit, dirty sign or awning is not the impression you desire to give to the potential customer. In their mind, what they see on the outside is what they will expect to receive in their dealings with your company. The problem for you is that repair costs pop up unexpectedly and can reap havoc with your budget.

WHAT CAN A MAINTENANCE CONTRACT DO FOR YOU? - For a fixed, predetermined monthly amount, you will receive the following services:

1. A plastic-faced internally-illuminated sign:
   a) Inspect sign for potential problems, clean faces and cabinet inside and out, and replace all fluorescent lamps at the start of the contract period.
   b) Repair any lighting outages as they occur during the life of the contract.
   c) Clean the sign as in a) above and relamp at the beginning of the second year.
