ELECTRONIC
MESSAGE CENTERS
Bring your message to life!
People call them all kinds of names: electronic
message boards or displays, electronic
message centers, digital signs, marquee
signs and electronic display systems just
to name a few. But they all mean the same thing - LED signs.  And we want
you to be comfortable knowing whether an LED sign is right for your business
or organization, so take a moment to learn more about them. The more you
know, the surer you'll be that you've made the right decision.
Don't take our word for it!
In addition to the
flexibility in messaging, the Small Business
Association cites LED signs as the most
effective, yet least expensive form of
advertising for the small business. In
a typical American town like Danville,
IL, an Electronic Message Center sign costs
$300-600 per month - compared
to about $1000 in the phone directory.
In addition, according to the SBA, businesses
using an LED sign typically see an increase
in business of 15% to 150%.

Although compressed video cannot do justice
to the vibrant colors of our LED signs, these video displays of real-life
examples do show the signs' versatility in communicating with customers
every day.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What's an LED?
An LED is not a light bulb, but
is an efficient, effective, ultrabright
alternative that cannot burn out. The LEDs
in Watchfire signs typically last longer
than 11 years!
Monochrome or Color?
Monochrome LED signs have long set the standard
for effective LED signage and are a proven way to get results. They're
particularly ideal if you have a text-driven message you'd like to customize
from time to time.
But if you have a product you'd like to
show in all its splendor, or if you'd like to play snippets of videos and
take advantage of other advertising tactics previously only available on
TV and the internet, you might want to consider a color LED sign.
Applications for LED signs vary greatly, from
2-lane streets with minimal setbacks to 6-lane highways with signs 50 ft
above the ground. These considerations dictate the size display you will
require and also affect the best choice in pixel density.
Do you Have Financing or Leasing Options?
Yes, we do. You may wish to refer to our handy
Leasing Guide, then simply fill out the Financing
Application and submit it for approval.
I'm concerned that my local ordinances
and zoning issues may not permit an LED
sign. What should I do?
Not to worry. While you are ultimately responsible
for adhering to local laws, your local
we will may be able to work
with you, your attorney and your local
governments to help revise outdated zoning
regulations and avoid costly redesigns.
When you buy from us, you're buying from
a company prepared to support you along
the way.
How can I be sure I’m buying a quality
product? How can I know I’m getting full value for my investment?
While most any sign will get your message across
for the next year or so, what about 5 years down the road—and longer?
Watchfire LED signs are rigorously tested for moisture resistance and durability
underwater and in extreme temperatures from -40° to 120° F.
