Spring is here and summer is less than a month away. Who doesn’t love BBQ on the grill? The smell of fresh cut grass? Campfires with family and friends? Spring cleaning? Well… maybe not everyone loves spring cleaning, but there is some importance in a yearly purging and scouring fun. This goes for business owners as well. We as business owners shouldn’t just worry about the inside appearance, but outside as well. And let’s face it, our signs after winter may not be what they used to be.

Winter in Indiana can bring the weather of all four seasons quickly. More quickly than you realize, this can create a faded or weathered look in your signage or evident damage, such as cracking, blistering, or abrasions. In any business, a first impression is everything. Would you open up a new bank account at a branch you knew nothing about if they had a faded or damaged sign? Chances are no. Or would you go to a doctor’s office if their sign had lights out or disfigured letters? If they can’t take care of the health of their practice, why trust them with your personal health?

Signs do not like the cold any more than we do. Cold weather can cause fluorescent bulbs or their ballasts to burn out. Today, with the standardization of Gen 5+ LEDs, it can be cost effective in most situations to convert to LED systems. LEDs in general tend to be a much more reliable source than other types of bulbs and can withstand cold temperatures.

Warm months may bring on storm damage to your signage. High winds, hail, and runoff can cause some major dilemmas but insurance companies can assist with reimbursing you for those types of damages. We are glad to help out with quotes to submit to your insurance company and to quickly help you restore your business image.

When choosing a new sign, we can help assist you in the adequate materials to expand the life of your signage. Different medias have different shelf lives. Also, different placements may help extend your sign's life.

Spring is often the perfect time to give your business a new face. Whether you want a complete redesigned look or simply updating what you already have, Big Picture Imagery Visual Group is here to assist you with this process. Do not allow people to question you business’ quality of care or viability.
