Color theory, layout, font knowledge and more will help your sign stick out from the rest and get clients in your door.

Purchasing an Outdoor Sign

When you have finally decided on which sign you would like to purchase, a P.O. will be sent to you along with the contract and rendering depicting the sign itself. Most sign companies will need a signed contract and signed rendering to ensure the design fits your vision. With that, half down is usually acceptable and the rest on installation and completion. This ensures that you as the client is satisfied with the work.

Permitting an Outdoor Sign

In order to install a sign, it must be permitted by the city in which you reside. Some cities have things like height restrictions and LED sign restrictions, so it’s a good idea to do a permit review before purchasing. After purchase, the project is then assigned to a project manager you not only oversee the creation and installation of the sign, but the permitting as well. Remember, a sign must be permitted by a licensed sign company like Brazo Sign Co.
