About Signs

• Signs show us the way for toilets, exits, emergency exits and many other public message signs, some engraved onto transparent plastic, others illuminated. Also moving message text signs where text will move from right to left or roll usually up to eight different ways in which information can be passed to us including animations. These can be single lines of text or multiple and come in a variety of text colours.

• In the gardens or on the walls of our homes we place messages stating For Sale, To Let, Rent, Garage Sales. Various trades place temporary boards outside advising of their line of business and contact details, and of course commercial properties also have the requirements to let us know happening.

• Schools and Companies need numerous messages to guide us through the day, to find where we need to be, what we should be doing and how it should be done.

• Even on the roads we are constantly being guided to particular points by roadside signs and message boards. Taxi’s have the message light to let us know if we can hire or not.
So in everyday life we need signs and messages to keep us informed, guide us, keep us safe, in the morning, noon and night!

Messagecrazy.com helps in providing some of the important message options.

Message Delivered !

Below we list some of the more common signs and messages that we come across.

• Shop and store fascia signs

• Pavement signs (A-Boards and Flat Panel)

• Point of sale Message Boards (to pass us information regarding a products description and possibly the price)

These can be placed on the counter, shop windows, floors, ceiling messages or directly by the product itself.

Some of these product advertising signs and messages will be material posters others will be illuminated, some may even flash special offers, new product lines, clearance items, price reductions, end of stock notices, sales and closing down offers are all needed to keep us informed.

• Pubs & Restaurants need to get us inside and bombard us with drinks deals and meal offers – starting with pavement boards and window messages and inside with tempting menu offers using chalk boards, wall posters and menu cards. Even when we visit the toilets it’s an opportunity to tell us something or sell to us.

• We need instructional signs to let us know when establishments open & close and the relevant times in some instances. Also neon and LED signs lead us to the doorways of chemists, restaurants, bars, hairdressers, tanning shops and take-away outlets.
