Many businesses have found that they need to have a digital marketing strategy to attract more audiences. However, traditional marketing techniques continue to play an essential role in marketing and advertising, as well. We at Dave’s Signs are a leading company in the signage space and know from experience that signs are a crucial aspect of advertising for businesses that have a physical presence. It’s the best way to attract customer attention and let people know you exist.
Today, many businesses work well into the late evening hours and night as well. It also means they need to opt for illuminated signs. While you can choose from different materials, types, and styles of signs, the two kinds of illumination methods are Neon and LED. So which of these illuminated signs are best for your brand?
Neon or LED?
Here are some aspects to keep in view choosing between these illuminated signs.
At first glance, you may not notice much of a difference between these two as they both glow when lit. However, their construction and luminescence sources are different. Today, LED signs are more widely used than neon ones. This is because they are significantly more cost-effective in the long term and 80% more energy-efficient than traditional fluorescent bulbs. They work well with all types of signage.
Neon signs are different – they emit light via a reaction in the gasses in the neon tubes and crafting them requires specialized expertise. But as mentioned, many people are now opting for LED signs as they are energy-efficient, eco-friendly, and easy to maintain as well.
The one you choose for your business will be entirely dependent on the type of ambiance and effect you want to create for your brand. It also depends on how much money you want to spend and the sign’s location etc.

Regardless of the industry you operate in, if you have a physical business location, you would need to have an outdoor
sign installed at the entrance to your property. It is one of the best ways to attract the attention of passers-by and to create a good brand presence.
We at Dave’s Signsare one of the front running companies in this industry and offer a wide variety of outdoor signs of different types. The materials used in fabricating outdoor signs are entirely different from indoor ones. This is because they need to stand up well to the weather.

Outdoor Sign Materials
The different materials that we use in
outdoor signage include:
Aluminum – This material is widely used in outdoor signage as it is resistant to moisture, dust, cold as well as heat. It can maintain its appearance for a long time with very little maintenance. You don’t have to worry about problems such as rusting. It is incredibly lightweight as well, which means it can be installed on various surfaces very easily.
PVC – This is on other material that is commonly used for outdoor signage. It is affordable and durable and much heavier than aluminum. This particular property makes it ideal for areas that experience high winds. The material is an excellent investment as it retains its appeal and appearance for many years.
Alumalite – It is an aluminum composite material with a core made of high-density polyallomer. The material will not warp or swell in the rain or when exposed to moisture. While it does not have the excellent weather-resistant properties of aluminum, it can last for many years in outdoor locations.

Halo lit signs are named so because the illumination creates a very attractive glow around the lettering. LED lights are positioned in such a way that they throw a shine from the reverse of the letters and logos. These signs can be used on their own or in combination with a unique face-lift effect to add extra attention to the signage.
Internally illuminated signage letters can have a significant impact based on the manufacturing techniques and the materials used. When internal lighting is used in built up logos or letters make of powder coated aluminum or steel, it creates a superb halo effect on the structure’s back tray. Use of the latest LED technology creates an even more stunning effect and signs made in this manner are called Halo Lit Signs.
Facts About Halo Lit Signs
We at Dave’s Signs, we are the signage experts that provide high grade halo lit signs. We can create a variety of effects by using push through, fret cut acrylic letters combined with translucent vinyl or digital print.
Also, simple fix or raised locators can be applied to solid lettering or logos. This allows the light to show up at the top of the feature, which creates a stunning illuminated effect on it.
When added to lettering with non-illuminated faces, this lighting effect brings definition to the feature. It is usually chosen for signs that have a shallow depth.
The halo lit illuminated letters and logos can be secured to a fixing system like a sign tray panel. If the setting requires a separate mounting, we can provide that too.
Where Can Halo Lit Signs Be Used?
All of these specialized lighting fixtures fabricated at our state-of-the-art workshop and are perfect for:
Jewelers
Restaurants
Spas
Clubs
Pubs
Hotels

specialty stores, etc. They are also
widely used as storefront identification features and are made using a special
process. Channel letters are essentially individually cut letters and graphics
that are illuminated to make them easily visible at night as well. Since each
letter is formed separately and has its individual
light source, the sign gets a 3D effect that is attractive and impressive all
