Did you know the ancient Egyptians created the first sign boards? I had no idea! I wonder what type of signs they were? Do you think they were advertising their businesses or perhaps showcasing their beautiful pyramids? hmmm.....I wonder how they built them-- probably with their hands and out of gold and diamonds........ =)
Except for the gold and diamonds part, thank goodness we are not in ancient Egypt. Have you seen The Mummy movie? Thankfully we have amazing companies to do the hard work for us!
Whether it be a sign for your home business, a blog or simply a banner for a Girls Scout troop-- BuildASign.com has everything you need to make the perfect signage! And did I mention it was simple! It really is-- and it's inexpensive. BuildASign has made it simple for anyone to quickly and easily create high quality, custom signage including Custom Banners! BuildASign's customers run the gamut from sole proprietors, mom-and-pop businesses, and non-profit organizations to franchises and major corporations in virtually every industry. They serve real estate agents, developers, construction companies, and insurance agents; retailers, event and conference planners, church and school groups; students wishing to make a statement or residents who want to promote a yard sale, and more. Why Signage?
- Signage is the least expensive form of advertising – and the most effective of all forms of advertising. (US Small Business Administration)
- Signage alone is responsible for attracting up to 50% of a business’ new customers. (US Small Business Administration)
- People notice vehicle signage. According to the American Trucking Association, 91% of individuals surveyed reported noticing and recalling the advertising messages on vehicles, 75% reported developing an impression of the company based on signage graphics, and 29% said they’d base a buying decision on these impressions.
- Industry studies show that informational/directional outdoor signage, signs that direct motorist to locations and activities, will increase business activity at the advertised location by an average of 15%.
I was able to make a sign for my husbands company. The steps were simple. I could have uploaded my own logo or design, but I thought the American Flag worked nicely for his craft. My husband builds custom made cabinets and counter tops-- U.S. made-- that's hard to find these days! The text was easy to fit in all the right places. I included his name, phone number, and email address. Perfect for his needs! See below-- but disregard the white box on the bottom-- I erased his info. The sign itself was perfect in all regards-- it was easy to make, inexpensive, fast shipping, made with quality and it fit nicely.

Regardless, I still think it would be fun to get my blog url in vinyl letters for the back of my car!
