Prices for Signs

Getting a price for a sign can be much like getting prices on a pair of shoes, you’re never able to just walk into a shoe store and ask the nearest associate how much their shoes are, because there are many options that cause the price to vary. The same is with signs. When ordering a sign, please understand we will need a few details before we can give you a price for your order.

Just like with shoes, the first thing we need to know is your size. If you know the size of shoes you wear, that automatically knocks out a lot of the options that don’t apply to your needs. Even if you aren’t completely sure of the size, having an estimate helps more than nothing. Just make sure the size you have chosen works for your needs before finalizing your project.

Once you know your size, you get into the categories of shoes. Maybe you need some loafers or high heels for a professional event, heavy boots that have a lot of endurance, or just some cheap sandals that you plan to toss after summer. When ordering a sign, you may not be aware of all of the materials we can make signs out of, but if you give us some ideas of the occasion, we’ll help select the best ones for your needs.

Lastly, we get into those personal touches. You know the size of your shoe, and also the kind of shoe you need, but you can still choose between different styles. You can get the more economical shoe, or you can get the one in three different colors with buckles. Each shoe is going to have a different price range.

So keep in mind, when calling for prices on signs, we’ll need the same information as someone would need for shoes:

  1. Size
  2. Category
  3. Style

Events and Expos

Some of the upcoming Expos in Columbus are the Columbus Build Remodel & Landscape Expo, Wedding Extravaganza and the Arnold Fitness Expo. These events may still be a few months off, but if you are going to have a booth there, or at another event,  now is the perfect time to plan for them. Some of the larger scaled trade-show items we have need a couple weeks to be made, for example; Feather Flags, Cloth Table Banners, Large Velcro Boards, and Large Standing Wall Displays.

Those are just a few of our items. A majority of other signs can still be turned in around in a day or two, however, it’s still good to give yourself the extra time, then you won’t feel rushed in making decisions or picking up your order. A number of our other trade-show items are; Retractable Banner stands, Pop-up Banner Stands, Adjustable Banner Stands, Vinyl Table Banners, Table Top Signs and many more.

Feel free to look through our gallery of trade-show and display items for ideas, and please call with any questions.

Vehicle Lettering All Year Round

The seasons are changing but it’s not too late to get lettering or graphics put on your vehicle. Next Day Signs is equipped with indoor space for vehicles, so we can install graphics at any point of the year. We have both regular vinyl and perforated vinyl , giving you the chance to decorate your windows without compromising your visibility. If interested feel free to bring your vehicle by during our open hours. We’ll take measurements, pictures and get a chance to hear about the design you’d like face to face. With the pictures we took we’ll be able to send you mock-up designs through e-mail with pricing for your intended project.

If you’re looking for something less permanent we also make vehicle magnets. Common sizes for front door magnets are 24” wide, and either  12” or 18” tall. The height is dependent on vehicles and whether or not there are any ridges across the doors, magnets must lay completely flat against the vehicle. Larger and custom sizes are also available.

F.A.Q for Graduation Banners

The season is upon us again for graduation celebrations and parties. As always, Next Day Signs LLC allows you to order your graduation banner online through our online ordering process. Below is a list of frequently asked questions concerning the online ordering.

 

Q. When will my banner be done?

A.  We have a lot of banner orders this time of month and try to process each as quickly as possible. Depending on when you order the banner may be ready next day. It is best to order your banner 2-3 days ahead if possible.

 

Q. Do I have to pick my banner up?

A. Banners are normally picked up from our store, however if this does not fit into your availability, with an extra fee a courier service can deliver it to you. The fee ranges on the distance between your location and ours.

 

Q. Do I need a pole-kit? What is a pole-kit?

A. Our pole kit is a bundle of pre-cut PVC piping made to hold a graduation banner above the ground. It stands close to four feet from the ground and is held in place with two PVC stakes hammered into the ground. The Tie Downs, which is an added option with the pole-kit, is fine roping and stakes to further hold it into place. If you do not choose a Pole-Kit option, your banner will still have grommets placed accordingly on the banner so that it may be hung.

 

Q. How do I get to you my picture?

A. When placing an order, you will finish and submit your order (having chosen the photo option). Then on our regular homepage you will click on ‘Send Us Files’ located on the right side of the black bar of options. This will open another window leading you to YouSendIt.Com, where you can upload your photo into our dropbox.

What Spring Brings

A sunny 64 degree Sunday, followed by a damp and wet Monday encourages me to just retreat home and curl up with a new book. I wish it had been snow, as I am an avid skier, but spring is a good season too, even with all the rain it brings. It’s a chance to bring my friends out of their houses (those that chose to hibernate versus ski with me), and do more active things outside. All the grass and leaves come growing back in the most vibrant green.

It’s also the coming time of graduations, students finishing up either high school or college. The time for planning celebration parties, barbeques, and games. The time when you realize you do need a calendar for the year to keep track of everything, and maybe a few other items for your parties. If you have any interest in a graduation banner, please check our online ordering where you can receive a discount. Prices are listed on the page, no cost to take a glance.

Window Lettering: Inside or Outside?

Window Lettering: Inside or Outside?

Unless specified, all of our window lettering is made to place on the outside of the window. The reason for this is that most windows are tinted in some way to help against sun rays. If the lettering was on the inside of the window facing out it would not be as visible. If the window was not tinted, then it can still be difficult to read lettering on the inside depending on the position of the sun, or if outdoor lighting is present at night.

It’s without a doubt that outside lettering has the best visibility, yet there are still individuals cautious about. I think it’s because they don’t understand the durability of what they’re getting. The adhesion on our vinyl lettering is meant to withstand outdoor conditions (rain, snow, heat and cold) for roughly 6 years. Some people also express a worry of vandalism, thinking kids or teenagers might be able to pick it off. Should someone take off the lettering, they would need certain tools to help with gripping the lettering and quite some time to be able to remove all the lettering.

When I am equipped with both tools and chemical sprays to remove simple store hour lettering, the process takes me a half an hour to complete.
