Learn how to make sure your new sign for business is delivered on time
How to Avoid Delays When Getting a New Sign for Business
Tip #1 Get Paperwork That Includes Specific Dates
When you discuss timelines for delivery of your completed sign for business, get your signage company to give you the specific dates in writing.
Telling you that your sign will be done by a certain date is one thing - having it written down is much more concrete.
According to Foster Swift Commercial Litigation News, "The reason that verbal contracts can be problematic is that parties change, memories fade and, yes, people lie."
You don't have to rely on your memory when it is written down and your sign company cannot come back and say that they never said that it would be done by that date if you have it on paper.
Get your new sign for business completion dates in writing
Tip #2 Use Clear Communication
Make sure that you are upfront with your signage company about your needs and required timelines right from the start. Using clear communication will help avoid unnecessary delays.
Keeping in touch with your custom signage company is also a good idea. It will show that you are keeping track of the time that has passed and that you are counting on the timely delivery of your sign for business.
You don't have to be a pest, constantly calling to check up on the progress of your project, but it could be helpful to contact the company a week or so before your sign is set to be completed by either calling or sending an email.
This will let them know that you haven't forgotten. If they have become busy or have been tempted to delay your sign at all because they think you might not notice, this contact will change that.
Keep in contact with your signage company so they don’t forget about you
If you have called and had to leave a message or you don't receive a reply to your email, don't leave it alone. Contact them again to give them a gentle nudge and remind them of their commitment.
With any type of business, things come up and delays occur. A reputable sign company should keep you well informed and not ignore your queries.
Most people are more likely to accept a slight delay if the company has been upfront all along rather than trying to just avoid telling you about it.
If no one gets back to you, contact them again
Tip #3 Choose a Reliable Company to Begin With
If you have chosen a reliable sign company in the first place, you shouldn't have any issues regarding delays or keeping in touch. If you choose a company that has proven to be able to work within short deadlines or notice you shouldn’t have any delays.
Also, consider getting a company that does all their own work. That way they are more in control of their timelines since they don't have to rely on a subcontractor's possible delays and busy schedules.
To choose a reliable company,
Check online reviews
Ask other businesses for their recommendations
Ask for references
Meet them face-to-face

The Importance of Getting Your New Sign on Time
As a business owner, you understand that time is money. You don't want to be waiting too long for your new sign for business to arrive.
Whether you are a new business waiting for your initial signage or your current signage is out of date and you are re-branding, the sooner your sign arrives the better. Proper signage will help to attract and bring in new business.
Every day that you are without your signage is another day of missed sales opportunities. A potential new customer looking for the service or product you are offering may find your competitor instead if they can't find you, so make sure you avoid delays in getting your new sign!
Delays can mean loss of business, so choose a company who will deliver your sign on time
