Pricing

Pricing

Sign prices vary depending on the resolution (pixel pitch), options, and square footage. Your Watchfire Territory Rep can assist in size selection.

A Pricing Example: Daily Expense for Your Advertising Budget

$19.55 is the daily expense if your accountant depreciates a $50,000 Watchfire LED sign using a typical 7-year depreciation. Our signs offer powerful advertising that captures the mobile audience. Can your local radio or newspaper deliver promotional messages this effectively for just dollars a day? (This is just an example; an appropriate sign for your location might be more or less than $19.55/day.)

Watchfire Financing

Depending on the size and scale of your Watchfire sign, a monthly payment can be as little as that of a car payment. The chart below shows some recent Watchfire color LED sign sales financed with the Watchfire loan program. These particular financed projects included identification signage and installation.

Business Type	Location	Amount Financed	Monthly
Advertising Company	Pittsburgh, PA	$31,156	$682
Auto Dealer	Lakewood, NJ	$40,500	$854
Janitorial Supply	Albuquerque, NM	$51,435	$1,242

From Jim and Tina Bricker, Owners of Aqua Systems in Warsaw, IN:

"When we heard about Watchfire video signs, we thought the cost would be too much for our budget. After seeing the traveling display, the decision to put up a Watchfire LED message center was an easy one. We have been open two months and the message center is our number one advertising tool, beating radio and newspaper."

From William W. Zielonko, Executive Vice President of Midwest Bank Center in St. Louis, MO:

"It's been a little over a year now since we put in the new message center sign at Fenton. As you know, the results have been excellent with awareness, visibility, and branding greatly improved and actual sales results remarkably improved over a like period without the message sign. These results have convinced us to go forward and add message centers wherever zoning permits."

From Peggy Kroy, Holy Family School in Danville, IL:

"We love it! It was a huge expense for a school our size, but the risk turned into a miracle. The image the size gives us is wonderful...the sign says more than we could ever say through advertising!"

From Brad Cook, Owner of Park Inn in Urbana, IL:

"When your sign is visible from the expressway in the middle of a blizzard and people actually pull off the road in order to stay at your hotel, you know your sign is working for you. The Watchfire sign was an excellent way to advertise our rates, our facilities, the names of wedding parties, and in some cases, the names of famous guests who've stayed there. Since the sign's installation several months ago, we've had groups call to make reservations simply because their presence could be announced on the electronic board, and they would gain public recognition that other hotels couldn't provide."
