Install Vinyl Lettering in about one minute.

Filed under: Business Signs — admin @ 1:11 am

Here is how I install vinyl letters in about one minute. Make sure your surface is clean and free of any dust or particles. We use denatured alcohol to clean most sign surfaces. Use Windex or some kind of glass cleaner. Tape your decal in position, and follow the video.

Company Signs Made

Some of the
Sign Designers today have incorporated art, into the visual display of signage. The Sign industry has come along way since the painted wood signs plastered over the exterior wall and white washed, with the name of the business. Most of the time the cities signs would just read what they where selling. since they where the only business in town, no need for name.

Now take a drive down Vegas blvd. look at the artwork incorporated into the signage. Well you really dont have to go to vegas. you could just use Google maps. You can see some the design and thought put into this signs.

When it comes time for you to change your Plastic Signs, consider adding some kind of artwork to your sign design. With the digital process’s available today, the sky is the limit.

How much does it cost for a sign?

I can say for certainty, this is the most asked question to any sign company, How much does it cost to put a sign on my business? My answer of course is always a question. Well what kind of sign do you want? There are so many variations of signs, the price range can run anywhere from $60 for a temporary banner, to hundreds of thousands of dollars for computerized message displays you say at some sports venues.

Okay so you are thinking about opening a business and need to write a business plan with a budget for signage. So just some ballpark numbers will work. There several options, and your local HOA and city may have restrictions on what type of sign you can have. Also there may be a sign program in your lease, that you must follow.

If you are going to be in a mall or shopping center, you will need Channel Letter Signs . Depending on the amount of letters and the size, the cost at minimum will be around $2000. That would be for 10 letters between 18″ to 24″. If you wanted logos or reverse halo lighting, the cost would go up around 15%.

Another type of business sign would be 3d letters, or foam letters, pvc letters, or other types of material. The cost for 10 letters installed on your building would be around $ 480. That would be 18″ to 24″ letters. Logos and custom fonts would be extra. Please email: rick@anaheimsigncompany.com with your letter size and how many letters you need. We will provide a quick estimate, and turn around time.

How experianced is your Contractor?

Filed under: Business Signs — Tags: anaheim sign company — admin @ 12:51 am

One of the ways to identify the experiance of any contractor, is by there contractor number. First you want to make sure the person doing the work has the experiance in the trade. In order to get a licence you must have 5 years experiance in the trade. You must also have 2 experianced contractors sign off on your application. Then you have to pass the trade test and the law test, in your trade.

When you pass the test, you are assigned a number. Of course the lower the number the more experiance your contractor may have. Anaheim Sign Company recieved its licence in 1984. Are Number is 490521. If you look at any number higher then that, then that contractor does not have the experiance we do.

We have the experiance to provide Electric signage for any business need. We offer free quotes and drawings, if you supply a picture of the sign location. Custom lighted signs made and installed. Specializing in Channel Letters.Serving all of Southern California. Give us a call 714-270-0322 or visit Anaheim Sign Company.

Repair your own Sign.

If you have a little handy man or women, in you, it is quite possible you may be able to repair your own sign. I will share some of my sign service experience to help you solve your own lighted sign problem. Sorry sign company competitors’, but I know there are capable people, who can save themselves a lot of money, over the lifetime of their business sign.
When I first started working on electric signs, I did experience the power and pain of electricity, so first off, make sure you’re careful! If you have a neon sign, or lighted channel letters, these signs have the highest voltage, and will give you a good jolt. Make sure the power is off. I made the mistake of asking a customer to turn their sign off, and of course 15,000 volts numbed my arm. So make sure the power is off.
There are only a few things that could cause your sign not to light. The first one we already mentioned. Make sure you have power. It starts at the circuit breaker panel. The next thing could be the wall switch. Most signs are not wired this way, but you may have a neon window sign that plugs into a wall, which could be controlled by a switch. The most common type of control to automatically turn on your sign would be a time clock. This is a clock with trippers to turn on at night, and off during the day. I don’t know how many times I have had to charge a customer to service their sign, and find the time clock set wrong. Coming on during the day and turning off at night, there are directions to set the clock on the inside door of the time clock. Check here first.
The next thing to check would be the ends of the neon or light bulbs. The ends will be blackened if they are bad. Check the sockets if you have light bulbs. Inspect the wiring. If there are any shorted out wires, you will see them, and you can smell the burnt insulation. You will have to replace any damaged wires or sockets. The parts you need can be found at your local electrical supply or sign supply house. You also can search for the parts online. If you have bad neon, look for a local sign company who bends their own neon. Not all sign companies bend neon or service lighted signs. The do outsource, so you will pay more if you don’t find a company that does their own. We have migrated to LED lights and have a local wholesale neon company make are neon so we stay competitive.
The last thing that could be causing your sign not to light would be the transformer or light ballast. If all the above things check out, this would be the last thing to check, and of course, the most expensive. You can sometimes see the insulation of the transformer or ballast leaking out. It will be a black sticky tar like substance. If this leaks out the wiring of the transformer overheats and shorts out. Neon transformers only have 2 wires to hook up the lights. Sign Ballast’s have several wires, but are color coated for easy rewire. You can find the information printed on the transformer to get a replacement. Again just search it on the internet. If you get stumped I will gladly give some free advice, just shoot me an email.

Anaheim Signs announced the launch of their environmental friendly Signage Products. Their goal is to use low voltage LED Lighting in all the Electric Sign Products that they manufacture. The use of energy efficient ballasts and lighting will also be used in all monument and pole signs, where LED’s are not practical.
Anaheim, CA. October 14th, 2009 – Anaheim Sign Company today announced they will use only Low Voltage LED lighting, and energy efficient electronic ballasts to light all there Sign Products. By using these types of lighting in place of the traditional neon sign lighting, Owner Rick Hobbs states that,” business sign owners, can expect to save 90% of the energy consumed by their current sign.
Most existing signs are currently not energy efficient. Some of the ballasts and lighting, dates back up to 20 years, when energy efficiency, was not a concern.
Rick Hobbs of Anaheim Signs stated, “Our goal is to have every sign that we manufacture to be energy efficient and environmentally friendly. In fact when we go to service an existing sign we are recommending that are customers switch over to energy efficient sign lighting. With the current energy crisis and worries of global warming, the use of these products in Las Vegas alone would save an enormous amount of energy.

Art of Estimating

Filed under: Business Signs, Uncategorized — Tags: Business Signs. letters, concrete monuments — admin @ 2:00 am

One of the hardest parts about being a business owner,
contractor, or self employed, is estimating the costs
associated with producing goods or services. If your dealing
with an item that has a set cost, and you know all your
overhead costs associated with manufacturing your product,
you just need to determine what you want your profit
margin to be.

Sounds simple enough. But what if you are just starting you
business. You dont have a clue how long it will take to make
your product, or how much to charge. If you price it to low,
you will lose money, to high, you wont sell anything. Either
way you wont be in business long.

Unless you have actually worked in the production of your
product, or have a vast knowledge of your industry, there is
no way a person is going to be able to estimate the costs,
without some idea of the time that is invloved.

The time it takes one person to do a task, will be differant
from others. Your material costs normally stay static, but
labor costs vary.

One of the tricks I used when I first started out, was to call
on my competetors and ask for a quote on a sign, that I
hold no idea how to price. It was for a concrete monument
sign, I knew I could make the foam letters for the form, but
I had no idea the time it would take to fabricate the form.

Well after the first couple of signs, I was able to dial in my
costs, and have produced a ton of signs since.

If your struggling with estimating, you may want to
consider getting a quote from a competetor or two, until you
get the hang of it.

Is your Business Sign visible?

Your business Sign needs to be visible, Anaheim Sign Company can make you visible. If no one can see your sign, your business will suffer. There needs to be contrast, it needs to be readable. Some logos and fonts look nice on letterhead, but they are just not readable on your store front or wall sign. Look at all the major corporations, their logos and letters, have contrast (McDonalds’ is a good example, they use red and white). Not my favorite color combination but it does stand out.

If your location permits monument signs, or pole signs, street signs are the most visible for drivers to see. Lighted monument signs stand out the best at night, Concrete monument signs offer the best durability. We like to use low voltage LED lighting. Green eco freindly signs cost 90% less then high voltage neon signs, or sign light boxes.

Anaheim Signs will have been serving Orange County, California, 100 years; A family owned and operated Sign Company serving all of southern California. State Licensed Sign Contractor: #490521. We have the experience to handle any Sign job. From shopping centers, to mom and pop stores.
