Use a custom sign to advertise your business

Speedy Signs custom sign

Speedy Signs custom signs are available in a range of materials depending on their purpose. The purpose of custom signs includes announcements, providing directions, branding and announcing a special promotion. In essence, these types of signage work like a silent salesman promoting business 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Also, as a powerful way to develop an instant rapport with passing traffic and generate business awareness, custom signage is indispensable. The different custom sign options offered by Speedy Signs definitely provides many choices for marketing a business and making sure it stands out to customers who walk in or pass by.

Signs should communicate to potential customers with pictures and easy-to-read text that are noticeable from long distances. Signs are invaluable, especially in the marketplace. Custom signs are used to show a warning, display a product, advertise, show direction or communicate a place of business. For an audience on the move, signs are stationary advertisements.

Businesses can capitalise on passing traffic by using custom signs to encourage people to come in and easily make a purchase, enquiry or gather information. An important step in creating a custom sign is developing a logo that reflects the business and what it stands for. Selling is vital for business so it must stand out from any competition.

Outdoor signage is is so much more than banners. Smaller sized outdoor  aluminum  signs  are generally useful for property  signs , direction signs, building  signs and sales signs, for example.  Outdoor signage  is often the first thing a potential customer will see.  Therefore, all signs outside must be able to withstand all kinds of weather and elements – from cold winters to long hot summers.  Marketing and advertising signs outside are good for businesses to show customers what their business is about and their brand.

For any small business operator, one of the most difficult tasks is finding an affordable, yet very effective way to get the word out about the business.  Using custom signs is one great solution as it helps to promote the business and present a positive image to the public.

Building a successful franchise

Speedy Signs is a well known name in New Zealand. The franchise system has been here for 12 years and has 23 outlets. It has just arrived here in Tauranga and the next Franchise Association of New Zealand meeting is being hosted by the Tauranga franchisee.


Speedy Signs is a member of the worldwide Sign*A*Rama Franchise Network, which since being created in 1986, now has over 900 outlets in 50 countries.

National Bank business banking manager John McKinley, Harris Tate solicitor David Foster and Speedy Signs franchisee Joanne Newcombe.

It is quite staggering what they are able to make and no doubt this ability, together with the skill to recruit and train the right franchisees, has led in no small way to the growth of Speedy Signs

At the next meeting of the Bay of Plenty branch of the Franchise Association we shall learn from our host, amongst other things, why she chose a Speedy Signs franchise.

We shall also learn from Grant Archibald, the chief executive of Business Franchise Group Ltd how a master franchise operates and the practicalities of running two franchise systems – Speedy Signs and Embroidme.

This is going to be a most informative evening, where you will hear what a prospective business owner finds appealing about a particular opportunity and how a franchisor makes and runs two successful franchises.

For those who wish to immerse themselves in a full two days of franchise experience, enroll for the Franchise Association Conference to be held in Rotorua this year. This is going to be a fantastic conference – they seem to keep on getting better every year and the opportunity to learn about ‘how to do’ franchising property will be unsurpassed – at least until next year’s conference. For details visit www.franchiseassociation.org.nz

The ‘Sign here for Success’ event, with speakers Joanne Newcombe from Speedy Signs Tauranga and Business Franchise Group Ltd CEO Grant Archibald, is Thursday, May 19 at 5.30pm.

It is on at Speedy Signs, Tauranga, and is for anyone interested in franchising their business, buying a franchise, or wanting to learn more about franchising.

Enhancement of Architectural Signage

Make your building or office more attractive and noticeable with quality made Architectural signs

Speedy Signs manufacture a full line of Architectural Signs, all custom made to your size, colour, and material specifications. We can install them or deliver them ready for installation.

More and more sign makers are taking advantage of digital photography and “mock-ups”, to help the sign maker get closer to the clients' needs and wants while saving time and money for changes that may need to be made later. Technology has cut down on the time and variables. A job can be completed on a storyboard before the actual sign is complete. With computer-generated graphics, illustrations, photos of the site and proof photos, there's a very slim chance in not meeting the clients' expectations.



Most clients in need of architectural signage know what they want to say, but the sign maker is much more aware of factors that go into consideration. In this day and age it's much more than putting the clients' name and logo in lights. It's still a way of life that's evolved from an artisan's skill, a skill that sign making technology has made a much more viable alternative for the salesman to produce architectural signs for his customer that continue the theme of their identity program.

Make Your Signage Better Than Ever

Signage is a word that means banners and signs advertising a business. Signage is known to be flexible and one of the most essential and basic forms of advertising for a lot of companies today. Indeed there are thousands of companies today that are already effectively using signage to help bring their business to the next level of success. Ask yourself this, if you were to make signage for your company, how would you make it different and how will it stand out from the rest? Below are some of the ideas that you might consider especially if this is your first time creating business signage.

First time designers tend to put everything in their ads, this is a no-no! If you think that your audience will be going to read all the details written on your sign then you need to think twice. Don't put all the unnecessary information to your signage, just keep it simple, easy to read and straight to the point.

Use your signage to highlight 1 or 2 important elements of your products or services. Good signage has a striking headline. You can also identify your product with photos and important features like the prices, discount or packages. If you have something that is 'free" that you can give away, that often gets you a customer who will pay for higher cost services.

Be creative and let your imagination run wild. Use striking and colorful elements in your signage. You can get some ideas from magazines, televisions, Internet or any form of media. Combine all these ideas and create fresh and new ones. You can also give your signage a personal touch if it's needed or if you think that this will add authenticity to your sign.

Great signage can help lead any business down the path to success; this sort of advertising technique is very effective. So if you're into success then consider refreshing or taking a new approach to your signage today.

A good sign company who wants your business will be willing to work with you to turn your concepts into great, lively graphics that will well represent your business services and products. Ideally, after seeing your business name in lights, or at least on a big banner or custom sign, people will start to recognize your brand. When people recognize a business name that it gives it some measure of authority which can your business.

Your business needs professional looking and high impact window signs and graphics!


Marketing your business is a non-stop process. From primary newspaper or television ads to the interior graphics of your store, customers should be exposed to your message in as many forms as possible. One often neglected medium is a store’s window graphics.

Many store owners think of permanent architectural signage when they produce their window graphics. They hire a business to paint the name and hours of the shop on the door then forget about it. These miniature graphics supply functional facts but miniature marketing potential. They are missing a amazing opening for advertising.

Exciting window graphics can pique the interest of passing traffic. Customers who might not even consideration your store can be drawn in by the optical displays that catch their attention. Even if the graphics don’t bring them in right away, they will leave a persisting impression in their minds. The next time they think of the products you offer, your store will jump into their minds.

However permanent window graphics such as paint or glass etching limit your quality to turn your message as shoppers’ interests turn over the seasons or as your goods line evolves. You need a more versatile choice.

Posters and Banners

Stores use temporary displays such as posters and banners to turn their marketing message. This allows them to advertise sales, promote holiday items, or announce new goods lines. Large format printing provides bold messages that attract attentiveness and sway consumer response.

One benefit of these displays is that they are inexpensive, allowing a store to turn their window graphics oftentimes without breaking their marketing budget. Then again, one disadvantage of these displays is that they are inexpensive, appearing cheap and not all the time giving the best impression. They often don’t hold up to repeated use and are naturally discarded when taken down.

New developments in window graphics have given new media that supply curious displays at a reasonable cost.

Decals and Meshes

Window graphics printed on decals supply a bolder look that will make your store stand out from the pack. Decals can display brighter colors than paper and the sturdier material allows more intricate shapes, getting away from bland rectangular posters. Many of these materials can be peeled off and reused when needed.

Some shops are going a step further, using a fine mesh material for their institution displays that provides a one-way display. Customers surface see a full-window display but light shines through from the outside, keeping your store bright. This avoids the claustrophobic feeling large banners can create. It creates a display that is nothing like what primary window graphics can match.

Your windows are like a huge billboard and by not using them you are missing a great opening to store your business and bring in more customers.

Speedy Signs New Zealand’s largest sign network is now open in Tauranga!

Press Release

Speedy Signs makes any type of sign for any business including building signage, vehicle graphics, illuminated signage, banners and flags, neon and LED signs and much, much more – all designed to give customers greater brand recognition.

The company has a good understanding of the importance of having consistency in branding, and helping their customers create a good first impression. Joanne Newcombe opened the Tauranga store in April 2011 and is very pleased with her first month of trading. The latest addition to the Speedy Signs Group is located on the corner of Marsh and Chapel Streets very close to Tauranga’s CBD and also has easy access to the neighboring Mt. Maunganui.

Joanne is very proud to have an award winning designer Dwayne Coles on her team taking care of all the production and design aspects of the business.  The customer response from the business community has been very positive “the clients have  been very supportive” says Joanne. With a background in graphic design herself, Joanne is very familiar to the design and print industry.

Joanne and her husband Andy have previously run a successful business as an independent BP service station and have a great understanding of running good business systems. This is why they finally settled on Speedy Signs for their current business venture. Grant Archibald of the Business Franchise Group (NZ Franchisor) was very helpful when we initially enquired about the business; and we discovered the group has won many different business and sign awards over the 13 years in operation. We finally made up our minds to go ahead after talking with Darren Burborough & Richard Haigh the owners of the Speedy Signs Rotorua. Joanne says, “Richard said to me, follow the system and you won’t have a problem. That’s when I knew this was the right opportunity for me.”

Joanne say’s customer service is her key focus and she looks forward to the exciting challenges of her new business venture!  For further information you can find Joanne and the Speedy Signs Team at 35 Chapel Street Tauranga or Phone 0800 773 339
