Description of service

My real estate business needed custom signs to advertise, so we went to a dot com. Basically, we bought an aluminum sign that was 2' X 4', full color, and two sided. We thought that $170 was a relatively cheap cost for this sign. However, this did not include a frame which cost us an additional $20. However, once all the costs were paid for, the signs worked well and attracted customers.


Review of Service

The overall build quality of the sign posts were okay. The wooden frame we purchased was moderately sturdy. We had the option of purchasing a higher-quality metal frame, but we chose the most cost-effective solution. Still, despite the build quality of the sign post, the signs were still effective. The aluminum sign we ordered was very strong and sturdy. Also, the printing job that was done on the sign was excellent. The full-color design was very attractive and I don't believe there was a single flaw in the sign. Also, if you ordered more than one sign at a time, the cost per sign went way down.


Tips

My advice is that you can buy a studier sign post, but only buy one if you believe it will actually influence people more. I do not believe that our sign post made any difference on our customers. Also, I strongly recommend buying your signs in full color. This is much more attractive than two-color signs. Lastly, I also think the two-sided signs are the only option. They are the equivalent to having two sign posts, but at a fraction of the price.
