What every school should know about LED Signs
When it comes to making a purchase of an LED sign for your school, there are a number of factors to consider. Cost, reliability, and ease of use are usually at the top of the list. Unfortunately, if you haven't purchased a LED Sign system before, you are treading down an unknown path and many sign companies dont truly understand the technology and the number of options available. Signdealz is a leader in LED sign systems.
Cost of an LED Sign
The most common size and resolution we sell to schools is 3'H X 8'L with 19MM Monochrome. This size provide sufficient space to advertise up to 5 to 6 lines of text at a 5" letter height. Because it's a very common size, a lot of manufacturers offer this size at a discount to schools. You should expect prices for this size of display to range between $9500 to $13,500 for a two sided display, this does not include the base, electrical, or communication methods. Most of our signs come in fully loaded around the $20K range, two sided.
LED Sign Reliability
Schools around the country are struggling to provide essential services to thier students, so getting a sign system that is cost effective and doesn't require a lot of repair is paramount. Our vendor of choice for the last few years is Watchfire LED Displays. Signdealz has sold dozens of Watchfire displays over the years and their service is second to none. They offer a 5 year parts warranty that covers everything. If a part goes out, the overnight a new one. It's great to have a partner that cares so much about our customers needs and provides great customer service.

Ease of use
When you buy an LED sign system you quickly find out that if the software is difficult to use, no one will want to post messages to the sign. Unfortunately, most software is designed by engineers and software designers and this often creates problems. The software can be clunky, take a lot of steps to create a message, or have too many options that make it hard to train new employee's. Watchire uses a software called Ignite which is the best in the industry. It is built on a three step method to creating messages that is so easy, Signdealz has cut the time to train staff down to about 20 minutes vs. an hour for some of the other competitors.

So these are some of the brief points on purchasing an LED sign system for your school. Signdealz has the knowledge and expertise to help you determine the best sign for your schools specific needs and budget.
