FASTSIGNS® Launches New Brand Initiative to be Better Known as ‘More Than’ a Sign Provider

4th July 2012

"We provide a wide variety of products, services and comprehensive visual communications solutions to help companies meet their business objectives." By Garth Allison

FASTSIGNS^®the leading visual communications/sign and graphics franchisor of the more than 535 FASTSIGNS^® centres worldwide, has unveiled a new branding platform with updated messaging: More than fast. More than signs.™

"We want people to know that while we are fast, more importantly, we provide a wide variety of products, services and comprehensive visual communications solutions to help companies meet their business objectives,” said Garth Allison, UK managing director of FASTSIGNS^®.

“We have always known that we are more than fast and more than signs, and this new brand platform is a way of better communicating what FASTSIGNS^® offers. We have capabilities and service offers beyond what many realise."

FASTSIGNS^® was founded in 1985 by Gary Salomon and Bob Schanbaum in the USA as "the next day sign and lettering experts".

Now, 27 years and more than 530 locations later, the business concept has grown from just offering banners and vinyl to providing complete visual communications solutions for way-finding, creating business visibility, helping launch new products; everything for meeting the needs of businesses who are trying to have a consistent visual message.

Some of the wide range of solutions provided by FASTSIGNS^® includes window shades, vehicle graphics, digital signage, exhibits and displays, architectural signs, channel letters and mobile web sites.

Trained to be consultative and knowledgeable about the full range of visual communications options, FASTSIGNS^® teams work with businesses, organisations and events to better understand their needs, and then put together the right mix of innovative graphic solutions to achieve the business or organisation’s objectives. Meeting the needs of companies large and small, FASTSIGNS^® offers design, production, project management, delivery and installation.

"Our experienced FASTSIGNS^® franchise partners and their teams know how to help move businesses forward—we’re not selling a commodity, but helping businesses solve their unique visual communications challenges so that they can reach more customers and accomplish more than they ever thought possible," added Garth.
