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.
