Hair Salon Builds Market

By Cindi on April 21, 2011

On The Step A-Frame insertsLooking for a way to grow a new market on hair accessories this salon was looking for a way to promote “Out in the street” with a Sandwich Board sign.
  • The specifications were;
  • Full Color
  • Under $175.00
  • Two Sided
  • Water Proof and UV Proof
  • Be able to change the display in the future even though just one pair of inserts were needed for now
  • It had to be done by the weekend, just 3 days away!

Using the On The Step Large sign as a base unit.  The designer for the Hair Salon created a stunning piece following the design guide for inserts on this website.  They were emailed in the middle of the week and were shipped and in the customers hand on Friday.

The special price at the time, was $150.00 this included a Large A-Frame sign, and two inserts printed in full color.  These 1/4 inch thick inserts shipped installed in the sign.  On arrival it was carried to the curb and set up on display.  Able to be left out in the rain and able to tolerate New England Weather conditions the display was durable enough to support a future set of inserts for yet another vertical market for the Salon.

Easy to change

By Cindi on April 3, 2011

This sandwich board sign increased attendance the first night it was usedThis unique line of Sandwich Board Signs also known as A-Frame signs or Sidewalk signs are easy to change!  They also support dozens of accessories providing the most versatile sign for selling on the market today.

A community Arts Council was frustrated with attendance, the town common was well traveled 18,000 cars drove by everyday while attendance had stagnated at the Monday night concerts.  The group had a concept for a hand built sign to publicize the event but the weight of the A-Frame sign was to heavy for some to get it off the common at the end of the night.

  • The lightweight sturdy nature of the On The Step A-Frame sign provided a great base for a set of interchangeable signs.
Attendance increased immediately according to organizers “The signs had instant impact, people told us they forgot that the event was on Monday.  We even had people that never knew we had concerts all summer.  I guess they normally just did not drive by the common on Monday nights.”

With one side imprinted with “Music Monday” the other with “Music Tonight” along with a whimsical music note they were timely to.  Setting up the Sandwich Board sign on Wednesday with “Music Monday” inserted, then changing it to “Music Tonight” on Monday morning people noticed.  “The sign no longer blended into the background as it was always different”

Although not required the sign was removed Monday night after the concerts, and returned on Wednesday during the day.  This helped people to notice it as something different caught their eye.
