In today's market, consumers are bombarded by images and sounds advertising many products.  With attention spans at an all time low, it is crucial for any business or individual selling a product to grab the attention of any possible customer.  By using dynamic, carved signs, one can not only draw in business off the street, but can place the idea of the product in the consumer's mind.

Recognizable from far off, popular brand names like Old Navy or Coca-Cola can draw in heavy foot traffic from the use of their logo on a well placed sign or billboard.  In the same respect, a business owner, either situated in the big city or small town, can increase interest in their store by using a unique, carved sign.

The craftsmanship in carved signs shows that your business has a strong, lasting work ethic behind it.  Not only does the sign instill your product or service in the mind of the consumer, but it serves as a quaint landmark in a shopping district, or adds to the charm of a quiet block.  As a business owner, you can develop a bright colorful logo to fit with the modern pace of society driven by the technological world, or you can fall back to a more reliable, classy medium for your sign. 

Carved signs take us back to the peaceful days when strong values floated on the breezes that caused the familiar carved signs on main street to swing on their hinges.  While a large beer billboard may loom over a dirty expressway, carved signs will always be a traditional staple in shopping districts all over the world, waving customers in.

Trying to find a business is sometimes like looking for a needle in a haystack. On any given street, there could be 20 restaurants.

Passing motorists only have a few seconds to make a decision about where they will choose to stop and eat, and that decision is made with their eyes. Therefore, the one thing that will make the restaurant of choice stand out is an outstanding sign.

Can a sign improve your business' bottom line? The answer is an unequivocal yes. Surveys indicate the average consumer views thousands of advertisements every day, many of them signs. And the reason there are so many billboards, banners, scrolling digital boards and standard signs is because they work.

Do directory signs point to better customer service?  Good question.    If anyone answers no to it, they are dead wrong!

• Assign a specific email address or web address to the sign. Just as with the telephone number, specific landing points make it easy to track business brought to you by the graphic.
• Offer specific vehicle wrap deals like 10% off for mentioning the vehicle ad. Clients contacting you through a vehicle sign probably aren't familiar with your prices anyway so offering a deal won't hurt your bottom line.
