Upgrading Your Free Membership

Why Should I Upgrade?

 

There are two kinds of memberships. Board Patrons for individual sign shops, & Board Vendors for Suppliers / Distributors / Wholesalers / Media / Associations, or anyone who sells products & services to sign shops.

 

By upgrading your free membership you will be helping to support the Sign Syndicate develop helpful tutorials, build and update light sources testing for channel letters, sign cabinets and general lighting. As a thank you for supporting us you will have access to all tutorials and test results from our various board projects.

 

We started out tested our testing in 2008, which consists of every major manufacturer of Neon & LED lamps continually updating them as new products get introduced. These tests help to make your buying decisions easier.

 

The benefits of doing so are listed below: (You don't need a paypal account, any credit card can be used)

Board Patrons

Quote

For those who lurk but have not yet signed up, Erik did drop the subscription pricing. I know we all like to get our information free online, but a lot of time and resources have gone into the projects shared on here - and the information available is extremely valuable to those in the electric sign industry - so a starting price of $65 is very reasonable. If it helps you make even one project decision that saves you some headache and grief, it will have been worth it.

 

Some of you may well spend hundreds or thousands doing your owning testing and comparisons - which is commendable (but rare) - but the rest of you could arm yourselves with some very valuable information for a fraction of the cost of what it would take you to do these comparisons yourselves, and with a wider range of products than you'd likely include yourselves.

It's a privately run forum by a sign shop owner, so maybe it doesn't have the clout of other paid associations, it has its navigation quirks and personalities you'd prefer to not have to filter through - but the value of information gleaned goes far and beyond what you get from trade magazines. You can learn by lurking the public areas of the site, of course, but can benefit even more by participating (or at least supporting) in the more detailed areas that really are intended to help the industry as a whole.

Kgirl:

We are strongly considering signing up for the 1 year subscription as a Board Patron.

We are a wholesale to sign trade direct manufacturing of Channel Letters, Logo Boxes, and Cabinets. I currently do not see such a Board Patron in this category. Is this an accurate assessment?

Our Marketing Director is asking that I get all the dimensions & specifications for our banner ads, signature lines, etc. so that we can have them submitted in advance of ous coming on line with you.

Estimated launch date for us on the Sign Syndicate is Aug. 15th.

Thanks

Mike Ketcherside
