Today we’re going to take a look at all the factors you need to consider when choosing a custom sign company.
The quality of their work: When a company has been in business for a number of years the quality of the work they produce is probably quite high. It is difficult to remain in business over a long period of time if you have an inferior product.
The quality of their service: Customers will stop using a custom sign company and won’t recommend them to their contacts if they receive poor service. A company that has been in business for a long time probably also provides good customer service.
They know what they are doing: Experience teaches you how to do things and how to do things better. The more experience a company has in the custom sign business means that they probably know how to do things better because they have learned during their years in business.
They are going to be around in the future: If a custom sign company has been in the business for a number of years, they are probably going to stay in business for many more years to come. This means that they will be around if and when you need maintenance or service on your signage.
Professional Associations
Finding out if the custom sign company that you are considering is a member of both local and national professional associations is a good indicator as to whether or not the company is credible.
Skilled Employees
It is a good idea to choose a custom sign company whose staff are highly trained in the best practices and current product offerings of the signage industry.
They need to have workers who are trained to work with a wide variety of materials and processes including sheet metal, plastic, paints, CNC routering, vinyl, lighting, and wiring.
Tour Their Shop
The absolute best way to get a feel for a company is to visit their shop, tour their facility, and meet the staff you will be dealing with. Reputable signage companies would be more than happy to (safely) show you around their manufacturing facility and explain the processes and techniques at work, and it will give you a great opportunity to observe at how they operate on a day-to-day basis.
Online Presence
The very first place you should look when searching for a sign company partner is online; reading reviews, researching affiliations, and viewing their own website. A professionally designed and maintained site can be a great indication of a company that is with the times, just as an out-dated site suggests a business that is stuck in the past.
