When you want signage that gets noticed, you know that Spotlight Signs and Imaging Solutions is the go-to commercial sign company for Gilbert, AZ, businesses, schools and non-profit organizations. Have you ever wondered what makes our company stand out among the competition? In fact, how do you choose the right sign shop for your signage needs in the first place?

Look for a Collaborator, not Just a Manufacturer

Plenty of sign printing businesses are manufacturers. They listen just enough to get a notion what the customer wants. Then, they are off to print the signs that they think would be best for you. A collaborator learns about your business, seeks to catch the vision that you have for the sign and then wows you by designing and manufacturing the product that you had envisioned in the first place.

Avoid the Coffee Shop Meetings

A sign shop should have a physical address. This location should be a professional office with a warehouse or, at least, a workshop. If a sign maker suggests that you meet at a coffee shop (and cannot provide you with samples, images of work that was done by the company or even a physical address where you can visit the office), stay away. Although this might be an entrepreneur just starting out, it could also be an unreliable operator who changes business names as often as other folks change towels. We like doing business face-to-face. We would love to have you stop by 1310 North Acacia Drive in Gilbert.

Establish a Working Relationship

A full-service sign shop meets all of your product needs. Unlike the online one-trick-ponies, this professional understands ADA sign requirements as they pertain to your company, handles interior as well as exterior signage and works alongside you to devise products that will enhance the communication with your customers. Not surprisingly, we have plenty of clients who come back to us time and again for products they need when they first start out in business but also for the markers that they require for their next expansion.

Look for a Menu of Services Offered by Employees

One or two services are not enough. You want someone by your side who sees your project through from inception to installation – and beyond. Our professionals handle the design consultation, the permitting process, the free estimates and the manufacture as well as the installation. Customized letter and logo cutting is done in-house, not shopped around to the lowest bidder. Also, you know that you are dealing with our installers. These are not subcontractors who have little interest in maintaining the good name of our company and whose credentials may or may not be vetted.

Last but not Least: You Need an Expert to Watch Changing Trends

Signage designs evolve. Materials change. What was a hot trade show look last year is considered so-so this year. Work with a sign company that keeps a close eye on the trends, knows what your competition is doing, and can advise you on the latest style that could be instrumental in making an excellent first impression on your target demographic. Doing business with this type of commercial sign company in Gilbert, AZ, can be a recipe for success. Contact us today to learn more.
