​Channel letters play a large (literally) role in branding your business. They are the most effective way to attract customers. It is important that the exterior of your business is showing off who you are as a company. There are numerous benefits to adding channel letters to the outside of your business. 

​To be taken seriously, you need to have a sign that looks professional. Signs A La Carte is able to make a well-made channel letter sign that is used by most nationwide stores and brands. Small or local businesses can benefit by adding these signs to show potential customers that they can look larger than size. 

​Other types of painted signage may only last a few years. Channel letters on the other hand will last much longer. This will ensure that your company is getting the most for your money. Channel letter signage will not fade, they will continue to look good infront of your business for many years. 

​Channel letters can be lit with LED lighting for a low cost. This is more cost efficient than using neon signs. Over time this will save you a lot of money that you can put back into your business. There are different ways to illuminate your signs to maximize visibility. Channel letter signs can be lit from the front, back or they can be lit in an “open face” format.  There is also an option to add all three of these lighting options to each sign. Before we begin the process of creating a lit sign, we would have to make sure your landlord and zoning laws allow this. 

​Channel letters have a three dimensional nature that will stand out compared to other flat signage. These will be able to be seen from a further distance and gain attraction from a larger crowd. By adding channel letter signs to your business you will be able to stand out amongst other businesses.

​Signs A La Carte is able to create the channel letters of your dreams. We are very flexible when It comes to choosing the color, font, size, and position of this signage. The letters can be accompanied by a logo or tagline. If you are not sure where to begin, Signs A La Carte’s expert design team is able to work with you to create the type of signage you are looking for.

​We were contacted by the bookstore in Kennett Square to create signage for them. As a small sign company we were delighted to be able to work with a local bookstore. They came to us with their own ideas of what signage they wanted us to create and then it was our turn to bring them to life. 
 
With the ideas they had, Signs A La Carte had to work around a permit provided by the town. We made a proof for them for the borough and they had asked us to modify the size accordingly. After we understood their needs we went to work on their signs. 

​- to replace a face on the monument sign
- Vinyl for the door (hours of operation, services)
- a banner as a temporary sign while waiting for the channel letters to be installed.

​Starting a small business can be an exciting new experience. It can also be incredibly stressful not knowing where to begin. There are many moving factors that go into creating the perfect business all the way down to the right signage. If you are not sure where to start with the signage you need, let us help you! 

​At Signs A La Carte we are able to walk you through the process of our signage we have to offer. Outdoor signs are crucial for your small business so passers-by are able to see who you are and what you have to offer. But you can not stop there. Indoors signs are almost just as important when it comes to showcasing your business. 

A rider sign is a great way to market your small business. A rider sign is an outdoor hanging sign that is put into the ground that allows many viewers to see it. This sign will draw attention from far away, just like how a “for sale” sign does. if you don't have the bracket, do not worry we can install it on the wall close to your door. 

​If you are looking for an indoor sign. We are able to accommodate you with an interior hanging sign. Having a light up sign will truly make your business pop and look modern. 
 
Make sure you check with your township to avoid any issues or fill out any paperwork before inquiring about an outdoor sign. 

​Vinyl is a great way to save money when just starting out with your business. Vinyl on the wall is a gorgeous smooth look for your company or brand. It is more affordable than dimensional letters or acrylic/ aluminum sheet + vinyl or raised letters. At Signs A La Carte we look working with vinyl because it saves space within the building so you have more room for your own products. 

​We can even put vinyl on your windows. Vinyl window decals are great because they can  be easily changed for any occasion including; the time of opening and closing or even the holiday. Window signs will make your small business look even better. Having window graphics can help the viewers indicate the mood your small business displays. 
 

​Signs A La Carte offers many different types of signage. As do many other sign companies but what separates us from our competitors is that we are willing to work with you so that you can have your dream signage with little stress. From start to finish we want to ensure you are getting your money’s worth. If you have a vision in mind for what type of signage you would like to see at your establishment contact Signs A La Carte today for a free quote. We will send you a proof prior to ensure the sign or decal is exactly what you are looking for. 

Wall Graphics- can add a pop on your plain wall. Using a mission statement or a positive quote can create a welcoming space. 
Window Graphics- inside a building, you may find different business, having your name and open hours on the entrance door can be a good idea.
Dimensional letters/ signs- are 3D letters made that are mounted individually to the wall. They can either be raised on clear spacers or mounted flush with the wall.
Mounted signs on standoff- are designed to be mounted with specialized hardware, which consists of a barrel, cap, and wall screw.

​As the owner of a retail store, you probably know you need signs, but you might not know where to begin. Signs A La Carte can help you decide. After you contact us, we’ll meet with you at your business to discuss your needs, goals, and preferences. We’ll also bring our book with images of previous jobs to give you some ideas. 

​To make your business visible to potential customers, we recommend putting your business name in various places outside of your business. 
 
On the Monument Sign 
The monument sign or pole at the entrance to the commercial area is a great place to show people they’ve come to the right location. Whether the panel face is large or small, we’ll update the signage for you. 
 

​On the Building 
Do you want to take advantage of low-voltage LEDs inside your store sign? Channel letters are a great example, but you can also have an LED lighted box, where we can slide in an acrylic face with your business’s name. 
 
The Signs A La Carte team can manufacture the shape, size, and outdoor material of your choice or install dimensional letters. Large outdoor building signs do more than direct people to your business—they project an image with your unique brand and represent your care and professionalism. 
 

​On Store Windows 
We can apply various types of vinyl to fit your needs, including decals that are visible from the parking lot or colorful, perforated vinyl. The perforated vinyl allows visitors from inside your store to see outside, but the people on the outside aren’t able to see in. 
 
Another way to professionally add important information to your storefront entrance or window is to apply vinyl lettering. Signs A La Carte customizes vinyl letter stickers (font, color, and size) with your business name, hours, and the types of products and services you offer. 

​Sometimes you need to split your payments into separate installments. In this case, we can install what’s most important to you to promote your business. Generally we install the building signs, followed by the window signs. 
 
Our team works hard every day to be known as the company that guarantees quality, well-manufactured products. We appreciate our customers for trusting us with their business. Meeting with them to present the many options they have is important to us.

One day we received a message from a local business owner. His business was moving, and he needed a banner to say where the business was moving and one for the new shopping center and business location. 
 

Signs A La Carte worked with Cory Mattia, owner of the West Chester Agway store, built in 1976 primarily as a farm and feed store. Agway recently moved from its Matlack Street location to the Commons of Thornbury near the Route 926/202 intersection. For his smallest facility, Mr. Mattia decided to focus on specific categories of products rather than being too diversified. 
 
Agway was also renamed Agway Wild Birding Center. Mr. Mattia wanted customers to know the store was still open, but with a different name and location, so he decided to keep the brand and logo. 

​The Process
 
Installing channel letters on a building requires a permit from the township. Fortunately, everything went well with the permit, and Signs A La Carte created two large format banners: one for the pylon where the store was closing, and another where the store was opening. 

​​


​We also added the business name to the monument sign at both entrances of the shopping center. In this shopping center, we replace the business name on the monument sign when a tenant leaves, using a plain green plaque until there’s a new tenant. 

Raceway vs. Flush Mounted Signs 
 
The difference between the two (raceway and flush) is the method of installation. ​
​A raceway is a rectangular sign mounting structure that holds all wiring and electrical components for the letters. It generally requires three or four drill holes to mount this setup. ​
Flush mount setup requires between three and five holes in the facade for each letter. Our installers fish the wires through the holes before securing the individual elements. ​​

Building owners usually prefer the raceway option because it does the least amount of damage to the facade. ​

Check out this amazing project that we finished right before Memorial Day!
The idea was to have 3 electric cars that can carry passengers free of the island to 7 miles. The cost will be paid by advertising on the car. For 7 Miles Free Ride, we engineered, designed and manufactured a rooftop with LED Acrylic panel sides lighting at night as well as the front oval attached to the car. We printed and applied all the graphics around the car.
