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
