Dont you wish every decision you made as a business owner payed for itself? When you go into business for yourself you are taking a lot of risk. It doesn't matter if your an expert in your field or a high school drop out, everyone takes risk when opening a business. There are so many things that can go wrong versus what can go right, but when it comes starting a business buying an electric sign, the only risk you take is going too small.

Colt Print Services has been in business since 1974 and finally decided they needed a new sign. Colt Print Services's logo logo was an easy conversion to an electric sign, especially channel letters. The channel letter style is a simple block font which makes it easy to fabricate. The only draw back was the color of their logo, blue. Blue has a tendency to blur out over long distances because it's a wide band light frequency.

However, since CPS was so close to the road, it wasn't a really big concern. From the image above, you can see how well the sign stands out during the day and the night. Channel letters provide the best and most cost effective way to generate more business and give you a more professional look at a reasonable cost.

What is the cost for a channel letter sign like this?

When pricing out your LED channel letter sign you need to think about what the sign should say. If your an established company like CPS, then going with your company name is ok. If you are a service provider like a barber or restaurant you should probably consider using a descriptive name like "Northside Barbers". This type of sign brands and tells what you do. A channel letter sign is priced by how may letters there are and how tall they are. The bigger the letter the more expensive the sign. There are other cost factors like if the sign uses a raceway or wireway. This is what the letters are mounted to like in the picture above. The raceway contains the LED Channel Letter power supply and wiring. Raceways are generally priced at around $55 dollars a linear foot. Signdealz channel letters are priced out at $15 a vertical inch per letter. A typical channel letter sign will cost between $2800 to $5500 dollars, depending on colors and features.
