Veronica-nice article and points are well taken. For most small business SBA says their sign is one of the most important decisions and investments they make. For a LOCAL business it’s generally the most advertising piece they’ve got. For those that depend on local traffic and visibility their sign can be make or break. It’s my experience that most new small businesses have two issues with their sign (1) they don’t budget enough for it and (2) they don’t start the sign design process soon enough.

(1) Because they’ve never bought signage before they don’t have a clue what it costs. Advice-probably more than you think. Everything is custom designed and made to order one at a time. The machinery, software, design-fabrication and installation help and equipment needed to implement the sign is all expensive.
(2) Start early! First it has to be designed. Do you know exactly what you want? What city codes will allow? After you search for a sign company you have to deal with their work load and schedule.
Getting the permit from your local Zoning board can take from two-five weeks! Then the sign has to be either ordered which could be another four or more weeks to get from a vendor or made in house. Then installation has to be scheduled.
The whole process can take upwards of six weeks so START EARLY!

Veronica- Thanks for a great article. Recently my business was looking for a signage company to best represent our business. After some time, we came across Ameristamp Sign-A-Rama located in Evansville, Indiana. Needless to say they wowed us! They were friendly, prominent members in the community while staying affordable.
I would recommend them to anyone, here’s a shameless plug: http://www.signsoveramerica.com/
