You Have Got to be Kidding! Really?

You Have Got to be Kidding! Really?

A customer asked if we could fix an electric channel letter sign a “sign guy” he knew had made for him. When I took off one of the letter faces I was stunned to see Christmas lights strung inside.  No doubt his “sign guy” was not a C-45 licensed sign contractor which is required to manufacture and install electric signs in the State of California. Besides the shoddy workmanship, if something had happened to the sign that resulted in property damage or personal injury to a third party this customer would have little recourse to recover or pay for damages.

Signarama-Murrieta is a licensed C-45 electric sign contractor, Lic. #935797. As such we are required to have a certain level of experience and pass State of California administered law and trade exams. In addition we are bonded and  carry both Workers Compensation and General Liability Insurance, which covers employees for personal injury  and  property damage while on the job.

So don’t risk your business to the “sign guy”. Use Signarama-Murrieta to make an electric sign that  you will be proud to own.

What signs can do for you?

  • Signs can increase the sales of a business. In 1995, the California Electric Sign Association (CESA) and the International Sign Association (ISA) commissioned a major study of on-premise signage performance by the University of San Diego. The results of the study indicated that the  number of signs  at a particular site has a significant and positive impact on both the  annual sales revenues  and number of  annual customer transactions.
    • Building signage resulted in an average revenue increase of 5%
    • Plaza identity signs resulted in an average increase in weekly sales of 5-10%
    • The addition of small directional signs indicating entrance and exit routes resulted in weekly sales increases ranging from 4-12%
  • Signs can warn or caution the public. Your local Signarama sign center can assist you with OSHA required signs and properly meeting local regulations and guidelines. If your project requires posted safety signs and visual warnings, we can help. Many public building are required to meet the ADA(Americans with Disabilities Act) regulations. Signarama can create visually pleasing utilitarian ADA compliant signs that will compliment the architectural elements and the interior color palette of your building. Also, if your project requires warning signs, such as a construction site, Signarama can assist you with these types of signs as well.
  • Signs can identify a business. As cited from the CETA/ISA 1995 study, signs can increase the awareness of your business and directly affect and increase the annual revenue of your business. An effective sign is critical to the visibility of a business. Signarama can provide professional advice as to where a sign should be located as well as the size and design of the signage.
