Buy Local

Re: I appreciate any information-advice about electronic church signs

quote=Preacher777]Can anybody offer suggestions about what to look for, where to buy, price ranges and anything else about electronic church signs? I did a Google search as a start and received a lot of information. It helps to get advice from people who either have the knowledge or already bought one without leaning so much on the businesses selling them.[/quote]We are in the process of purchasing an electronic sign now. We have put down the required deposit and are waiting for installation. My thoughts:FG's advice is sound. Deal with a reputable local company. There are many large companies that do a great job. But, in my opinion, it is just easier to work with a local business, over the course of the entire matter. Service, communication, installation....all are easier with someone from your area.I had an elder help with the process. He was responsible for securing bids for consideration. He got 4 apples to apples quotes. Three were local, one was Stewart Signs, from Florida.There was about $6,000 difference between the low and high bid.The sign portion (part with our church name) is 3.5' tall x 9.5 wideThe electronic part (message center) is roughly the sameThe total height is 12 feet.The total cost for sign, installation, and removal of old sign was $22,000 and change.Expect 6-8 weeks from order to installatio

I had no idea of a price range of these things. The early ones were sorta tacky, but I do like the newer ones, They seem to be so flexible. They are very good eye catchers that is for sure. I think it is great when a church can afford it. Great way for announcements even a Word of the day.I can understand the temperature interest, I like that addition. That becomes a part of anyone's day that passes it, I know that just from my passing one. They can be a great addition, that is for sure. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

This is great advice. We are trying to help a metro church in the central highlands of Mexico to get a good electronic sign. However, buying local is not an option and long-term service and upgrade of the sign are areas of concern
