How we used channel letters to showcase The Mill -by Signs A La Carte, West Chester, PA-

10/26/2020

0 Comments

 

We engineered and installed a back -it exterior sign Wilmington.


When owning your own business there are many things that come into play. There are a lot of questions you have to ask yourself on a daily basis. One of those many questions being “what type of signage should I be using?” The answer to that can be considered in many different ways. Why should you use a channel letter for your business? Channel letter signs create a number of benefits to your business including attraction customers from a far.
We worked with our friends at The Mill. The Mill is a community and coworking space in Wilmington, Delaware, that provides shared workspace for entrepreneurs, remote workers, startups and established businesses

What are channel letters?

Channel letters are exterior signs that you put on the outside of your business. Usually these are 3D and spell out the company’s name. These can be lit up from multiple angles to give a clean and appealing look. These large signs will draw attention to potential customers. 
 
We received a request for a back lit exterior sign for their second facility in Wilmington by the general manager. Christian went to meet on site to discuss with him. After the discussion, we engineered the sign and we sent a proof with different sizes and materials after they agreed on one, we put the sign in production. After checking the wires to verify that each piece of the sign will light up,  we can program the installation, that requires a scissor lift because the sign is 14 feet in the air attached to the brick wall.
How channel letters are made
In design, channel letters and cabinet signs are closely related. We use lightweight aluminum for the bodies of the lettering. Doing so has the advantage of not adding too much weight to your building’s façade. Typically, the fronts consist of polycarbonate that features your business’ chosen colors. From there, customization makes the channel letters relevant to your company.
 
There are a few options to think about when creating and designing your future channel letters. The font, lighting and overall look are something you should consider. 
 
The first step is to select the font that best communicates your branding message. This font is usually the appearance you have chosen for your website, but it does not have to be identical if you prefer a different display. If you’re interested in creating a whole new look for your business we are able to help you choose the font that will work best for your building. 
 
The next step to consider is lighting. You have three different illumination options. Front-lit letters allow the light to escape through the polycarbonate fronts for an emphasized color presentation. Back-lit letters feature a closed front but let the light escape through the back, which results in a halo effect. A third option is a combination of the two. Unlit channel letters are another possibility. If you are unsure what lighting option will work best for you Signs A La Carte is able to assure you that we will help you every step of the way. 
 
Lastly, our installer can mount the letters directly to your façade. If access to the back of your wall is not possible, or if the building’s owner specifies a different installation method, we suggest the raceway mount. Either way Signs A La Carte will handle all your installation needs.

Benefits of using Mural and Wall graphics in your business and how they will make your environment inviting - Signs A La Carte, West Chester, PA

10/20/2020

4 Comments

 
​As a business employee or owner you want your place of work to look as good as it is. A boring and dull place of work is not motivating for your employees. When it comes to the interior of the building you want to make it pop. Using wall graphics and wall murals are a great way to make your place of work bright and exciting for everyone to see. 
 
Wall murals can be found inside or outside of business, offices, and commercial properties. This type of signage can provide great advertisement for your brand. Murals are commonly found on the inside of the business with a large wall space where there can be high volume traffic. This includes; outside of an elevator or stairway, entryway, or lobby. These locations are the best place to put your wall decals or murals to gain the most attraction. 

How else will these graphics improve your business?

They create a better environment for the employees and customers. By adding motivational quotes on the walls this will create a more motivated workforce, which will then increase productivity. Another way to show off your business is by adding a growth chart. A growth chart can be displayed in a hallway as a reminder that the business is flourishing and expanding. 
 
At Signs A La Carte we use high- quality materials so we can assure you, you are getting exactly what you pay for. If you have something in mind for the type of mural or wall graphic you want, let us know! We can work together to create the perfect design that is fit for you!

Updating your wall graphics is super easy to do and it shows your customers you are keeping up with the company and the latest trends. Does your company have a motto or slogan?

When to use temporary signs for your business by Signs A La Carte, West Chester, PA-

10/12/2020

1 Comment

 
The main reason to use temporary signage is because it is flexible and functional. Sometimes the hassle of a regular sign is not worth it. In some cases you are not able to put holes in the wall where your business is. Temporary signage is a great way to avoid any permanent damage within your building. We created the signage that worked best for CoBi. 

The Council on Brain Injury has been a nonprofit since 2007. We spoke with one of the founders of the organization. It started in memory of a business partner that lost his life to a brain tumor. We asked one of the founders why she chose to create CoBi, he said “I ran a local, for profit brain injury organization called ReMed and spent 32 years there, first as a therapist, then manager and my last 18 years as its CEO. I wanted to start a nonprofit to honor my business partner and to provide support to individuals with brain injury, their families and professionals in the field.” 

CoBi has various events throughout the year to support friends and families who are struggling with a loved one who has a brain tumor.  They’re main events are the Golf Tournament and the Award Luncheon, an educational conference for professionals every spring in Pittsburgh and then a variety of other educational programs and classes.

For their events we created some temporary signs including; A- Frame, a foam board with a durable cardboard easel back, a banner and yard signs.

The benefits of temporary signs

We asked our friends at CoBi why they chose Signs A La Carte… Here’s what they had to say “ I am from West Chester and was looking for a small, local vendor that I can work with and I liked the atmosphere and flexibility that you offered me when I stopped in.  The quality of your banners and signs was noticed by the person that used to organize these materials and I am hoping to spread the word of your quality.”

Creation of a car wrap for a local company- Signs A La Carte, West Chester, PA-

10/5/2020

1 Comment

 
​Are you wondering how you can gain attraction to your business? Think of it this way, you're driving down the road on your way to work and the vehicle you are in is advertising your company. You do not even have to lift a finger and anyone is looking at your brand. It's time to tell your story, promote your products and services. 
 
​Different types of vehicle wrap can help boost your business by exposing a large number of people to your business at a low cost. Car wrap is the best way to advertise your brand on the road with your unique design. 

How the wraps will benefit you

​Any type of wrap will tell a story. A picture tells a thousand words, and with a wrap like the ones we can create at Signs A La Carte, we will do just that. In two seconds or less you will easily be able to tell what your company is about and what services are provided. 
 
If your company has a boat, truck, bus, or other vehicles, it will benefit the most with a wrap. If you have a small or large number of employees it doesn’t matter! Having a wrap on their car or truck will ensure the number of viewers to go up. They will be spreading brand awareness for the business itself. Many different kinds of businesses choose to use wraps for their potential customers' awareness. 

Why do wraps work?

​Like we said before, many different companies use vehicle wrap because it works. You are able to customize your wrap anyway you want. From font, size, color and even images you are allowed to make it your own. They work because they are flashy and eye catching. It is hard to forget about a mobile advertisement. When people are driving they notice practically anything. When they see a vehicle wrap they will most likely comment on it to their passengers. Wraps draw in the attention of passers-by. 

Who we have worked with

We have recently worked with Craig at Eco Green Home Company. He came into our store asking for a new design for his van.   He wanted a picture of an AC on his van with his information that we delivered. The process was easy. We made the design and print for his van and he was extremely impressed with our work. At Signs A La Carte we love working with our customers.
