Portland A-Frame Signs, Sandwich Board Signs

Your marketing efforts are an investment in your business. In our opinion one of the best investments in marketing you can make is a A-frame (sandwich board) sign, especially one where the message can be easily replaced. If you are a retail store or a professional with a store front, A-frames are the perfect vehicle for seasonal specialty advertising.

For the retailer an A-frame sign puts your seasonal specifics right in front of potential customers. The ability to change your message easily is a key tool to capture the attention of people walking or driving by your location. Strong graphics and bright colors are easily produced for these types of signs. Pricing specials such as special sales or closeouts are also the perfect message for an A-frame.
If you are a small tax preparation office or a one or two person insurance office, you can use an A-frame for reminds like quarterly filings or reminds about reviewing specific types of insurance. A-frames are a visual reminder at eye level, they give you a presence in the line of sight.

One of key features of our favorite A-frame is that it can be filled with either water or sand to provide an extremely stable sign. When you want to move it, you can empty it. If you have multiple locations or participate in outdoor shows, this type of A-frame will make transport significantly easier than a metal frame A-frame.

Some locations have restrictions on A-frame use and you want to check with your local government on where and how A-frames can be displayed. In this day of electronic signs, the internet, and other forms of high tech marketing, the A-frame is a simple yet proven message tool that has many use uses.
