200.00 sign. This chart clearly shows the cost effectiveness of a business sign over a newspaper ad. Typically, exterior business signs will last 7 - 10 years or longer. Even using the lower end of the range for the life of a sign it is obvious that the sign costs far less than a printed ad - and try to find print advertising for $50.00 a week! Not likely!

Below is an excerpt from a research article “The Science of Signage” by the Signage Foundation. This chart gives some guidelines for selecting color combinations for signs / banners that work well - or don't work. Keep in mind there are many variations of each color when you change tones, intensity, or shades. For instance, black on a bright yellow background is far less readable than black on a muted yellow. Trust a professional sign company to know and understand the subtle differences.
