FAQs: How long does it take to get a sign? It depends on the size and complication. Banners are quickest with a 24 hour turnaround plus shipping; large channel letters reading a long name can take two to three weeks after procurement of City permit. What is the best kind of sign for my business? This is often governed by Landlord Criteria or City Code. We can take a photograph of your business frontage and superimpose on a computer program, various styles of signage to suit your type of business, location and proximity to passing traffic and pedestrians. Do I need a lighted sign? Location, store hours and type of business indicate whether a sign should be illuminated or not. Personal preference plays a role too. Signs are expensive aren’t they? According to the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Bulletin “signs are the most effective, least expensive form of advertising for the small business”. They give your customer the most important, first impression of your business and advertise 24 hours a day, 52 weeks a year. Do you take credit cards? Yes, we can accept Visa and MasterCard for most signs. Larger signs can be placed on a leasing program or stage payments can be accepted subject to satisfactory credit application. How should I choose a sign company? First, ensure the contractor is licensed and insured. The Contractor’s State License Board (www.cslb.ca.org) can confirm licensing; a copy of a Liability and Worker’s Compensation insurance certificate should be obtained prior to installation. Secondly, choose an established business that is a manufacturing facility, can give you references and show you past work. Email sales@sign-wize.com, fax (909) 620 5491, phone (909) 620 8989
