8 Questions Teachers must ask before purchasing School Signs

Can I get it cheaper elsewhere?
Get several quotes from several companies before you choose which company to use. Some companies may be cheaper but may not offer the best quality or service.

Can I see some examples?
Ask the sign company to visit your school with some examples of signs so you get a feel of their capabilities and perhaps see some different shaped signs to help you with your decision.

Do I have to make a decision whilst they visit the school?
Don’t ever feel pressured to make any decisions without giving it plenty of thought. Your signs will change the overall look of the school, take your time in choosing exactly what you would like, afterall, it’s you that’s going to be admiring them for many years to come!

Can I see the artwork before it gets printed?
Make sure you ask to see a proof of the artwork before the sign company prints your signs.Do not feel scared to make changes to the artwork and do not allow the sign company to proceed until you are completely happy with the artwork.

Will it fade?
The last thing you want to do is spend your budget on a sign, only for it to fade in sunlight. Make sure the sign company uses fade resistant inks to ensure it does not fade in direct sunlight.

Is it waterproof?
Make sure your new signs are not going to rust and that the colours won’t run when wet. Make sure it is suitable for outdoors and is 100% waterproof.

How long will it take?
Ask how long the sign companies turnaround is so you have some dates to work to. Set a deadline so you can chase them if they haven’t met the deadline set. Not all companies are as reliable as they first appear.

What if I’m not happy with it when it arrives?
Check the sign companies returns policy. Generally if they offer a 100% satisfaction or your money back guarantee, you know that your purchase is risk free. It may be worth asking to see some testimonials from their customers.

If you would like a no obligation site visit from Upson Downs to discuss your sign requirements please contact us on 0844 809 2007 or email us at info@upsondowns.co.uk .
