Making up the largest category of business signage Signdealz sells, channel letters are an easy and cost effective way to get your name on the street. There are numerous types of channel letters (Front Lit, Reverse Lit, Open Faced Neon).
  2. Blade Signs: When you need to attract pedestrian traffic off the street then a lighted blade sign is the most effective sign out there. With the right size, it can be an effective advertising sign. If you really want an impact use a 3 Dimensional blade sign, using an object or logo that looks real mounted to the main structure. 
  3. Monument Signs: Often the most expensive sign type listed, these signs can be the most effective for restaurants. Used in combination with an LED Message Center, monument signs can grab your customers attention from the road and even list seasonal specials, menu items, .
