Pricing
Sign prices vary depending on the resolution (pixel pitch), options, and square footage. Your Watchfire representative can assist in size selection.

 

A Pricing Example: Daily Expense for your Advertising Budget
$11.74 is the daily expense if your accountant depreciates a $30,000 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 $11.74/day.)

 

Watchfire Financing Lease
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 lease program. These particular financed projects included identification signage and installation.

 

Business Type	Location	Amount Financed	Monthly
Advertising Company	Pittsburgh, PA	$31,156	$682

From Gary K. Marshall, Owner of Gary K. Marshall Agency
in Princess Anne, MD:
"There has not been a week that has gone by that we have not had at least five people comment on our Watchfire sign. Our production since we have had the new sign has increased by at least 15%. It's proven to be the most effective form of advertisement that I've seen. We've had people stop in our office and tell us they've ridden past our office for years, but when they saw our sign they just had to stop."

 

From Henry Bomberger, Ace Hardware in Lidditz, PA:
"We use our Watchfire sign to promote specials. We also do community things. We did some things to recognize 9-11. In August we got a great closeout deal on some John Deere chainsaws. I put our deal on the Watchfire sign and we sold 175 saws in two weeks. Normally, we might sell 3 or 4 in that period, a few more with a good deal like this. I was amazed by the reaction to it."

 

From Joseph Byrne, Owner of the New Durham Railway Station restaurant
in New Durham, NH:
"We have put our new Watchfire LED sign to great use. We use it for our daily specials, entertainment schedule, help wanted, birthdays, functions and special parties. Since we have installed the sign, our lunch business has increased dramatically. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't get someone new that comes into the restaurant that will say something like, 'I didn't know you served lunch,' or 'I didn't know you had entertainment.'"
