Why Signage Wins

The Numbers Don't Lie:
Signs Deliver
Unbeatable ROI

In 2001, researchers Claus & Claus established that on-premise signage delivered a CPM of just $0.22. Today, with digital ad costs exploding, the gap has widened dramatically in signage's favor.

A $15,000 sign investment on a Bay Area street with 50,000 daily vehicles delivers approximately 1.5 million impressions per month — and keeps delivering, without a login, algorithm, or renewal fee.

35%

45%

40%
of fast food visits are unplanned — triggered by the sign, not prior intent

"The on-premise sign may well be the critical factor in a business's success or failure. Nothing can meet these requirements as quickly, safely, and effectively."
