Advertising Signs - Storefront Signs

A sign that is made to get business is an advertising sign. At Flynn Signs, we specialize in advertising signs.

For sign companies, advertising signs are based more on company identification than just touting a product or service. Hence, an advertising sign, for us, would be considered a store sign or a company sign.

Traditional advertising is generally done by marketing and advertising companies. Marketing and advertising companies design on a two-dimensional plane for print and web media. Sign companies focus on the physical world of three-dimensional objects. At Flynn Signs, we take a graphic designs and make them reality. Our signs are designs that come to life.

Channel letters are a good example of signs that come to life. Channel letters are the most common signs seen in the business and commercial world. Many grocery store signs are channel letters. Many retail storefront signs are channel letters. Channel letters are called dimensional letters because they have depth. The standard depth is five inches. These letters are made of sheet metal or aluminum. In contrast to advertising, paper and vinyl do not have depth. Paper and vinyl is light and inexpensive. Advertisement costs are mostly in the design arena and the cost of the ad. Channel letter signs take time to make and involve material, fabrication (cutting, grinding, welding) and labor. The time required to build one set of channel letters may take up to two days. On the other hand, you can print a magazine ad in seconds.
