The Grand Opening of Precision Signs & Imaging is this week…Thursday from 3:30 to 7:00 PM to be precise. And of course, we’re always precise at Precision Signs & Imaging, your one stop shop for all of your sign design, branding, fabrication and installation needs.

I called Bill Corby, President of the Burnsville Chamber of Commerce, to help with our Grand Opening by contacting the Mayor’s office. It isn’t a Grand Opening without a ribbon cutting ceremony, is it? And it isn’t a ribbon cutting ceremony without the Mayor, right? OK, maybe it is, and maybe the Mayor might have a scheduling conflict. Then we’ll have the Deputy Mayor, or perhaps a Burnsville City Council member. Either way, Precision Signs & Imaging will have its Grand Opening and ribbon cutting ceremony, with food and beverage, facility tour and maybe even some sign making!

No matter what your business sign needs may be, a monument sign, pole sign, ADA signs, window graphics, a three dimensional logo sign, way finding signs, custom office mural or perhaps a car or truck wrap, Precision Signs & Imaging can do the job, and do it on time, on budget, and right the first time. So come to our Grand Opening and see for yourself what Precision Signs & Imaging is all about. Meet the staff and friends, network with other business owners, have some food and beverage, and join us for an all-around good time.

Precision Signs & Imaging…because image is everything!

3 years ago people were printing on wallpaper with solvent ink based large format digital printers and they still are today! Solvent ink is embedded into the paper and is not eco safe. It carries a solvent smell and takes a while to dissipate even after being installed. This product was OK for offices and large open places but not so much for home or the babies room. Today their is a solution to the unsafe solvent ink mess. It’s Latex ink! When HP PVC Wallpaper is teamed up with HP Latex ink it becomes the safest solution to printed wallpaper on the market. Differentiate your business with impressive wall murals that boldly define interior spaces. Odorless prints on this FSC ® and GREENGUARD Children & Schools SM certified wall paper are easy to install and easy to remove.

It just so happens we are one of the few proud owners of  a HPL26500 large format digital printer in the Burnsville, MN area. This image to the left is our showroom which is located at 12227 Nicollet Ave South Burnsville, MN 55337. Not only can our state of the art Latex printer print on wallpaper, it also prints on car wrap vinyl, fabric banners, back-lit films, poster paper, vinyl banners, canvas, clings, decals and more. The next time you are looking for someone to print a sign with the environment in mind choose Precision Signs & Imaging… Because image is everything!

By now you’ve probably seen the road construction signs on Highway 13 and County Road 5. If you missed the signs certainly you didn’t miss the orange cones and barrels lining the roadway, closing off lanes. And this is just the beginning! But the City of Burnsville has temporarily removed the sign ordinance restrictions for businesses within the “construction” zone giving you the benefit of adding extra signage to let your hard-earned clients & customers know that you’re still open for business!

And that’s where Precision Signs & Imaging comes into play. We have our construction season promotion beginning now to help you “Gain Impressions, not Lose Business!” during the two summers of road construction. Besides promotion pricing, we offer free delivery, free graphic design services for all orders over $149, as well as 100’s of sign options.

Don’t lose business this summer; call Precision Signs & Imaging now…because image is everything!

Imagine my surprise when a business campus neighbor walked in our office asking about vehicle wraps and graphics, and then proceeding to have my graphic designer re-design his business cards and order 1,000 new cards on-the-spot! I guess I shouldn’t have been that surprised, he is a neighbor, and we do have great signage reflecting who we are and what we do. But nevertheless I was (his office is on the other side of the building).

I had to ask, “What brought you to us today?” His reply was that his son saw our company name on the the back window of a pick-up truck that we had recently completed a custom job on by wrapping the tailgate and installing a window perf with the logo of Precision Signs & Imaging. Now we all know (or should know) that wrapping a vehicle or adding eye catching graphics to your car, truck or trailer, is one of the best ways to advertise your company, but the truck in question belongs to my brother-in-law, a US Postal service employee in another town.

So where did his son see the truck, you might ask? Does it really matter? No, it shouldn’t, because the fact of the matter is that it was seen, and most definitely by a lot of people, not just my neighbor’s son!

A study completed by Arbitron, Inc. in 2010 on the cost per Thousand Impressions amongst various advertising media shows that a Vehicle Wrap costs a paltry $0.35 per impression versus Outdoor Signage at $3.56/impression, Radio at $7.75/impression, Primetime T.V. at $7.75/impression, Newspaper at $19.70/impression, Magazine at $21.46/impression and non-primetime T.V. at 23.70 per impression. So where should you advertise your business?

Precision Signs & Imaging specializes in the design, fabrication and installation of vehicle wraps and graphics, as well as many other interior and exterior sign types and applications. So if you want your neighbors (and many others) to notice your business, contact John or Keith at Precision Signs & Imaging…because Image is everything!

Brrrrr…with gray skies, rainy (more like sleet and snow) and cold weather that we’ve been experiencing this early spring (it is springtime, isn’t it?) it really makes it hard to ‘get up and go’ in the mornings, doesn’t it? But we do, because we’re hearty folk here in the Great White North! But even though we made it through another long winter it seems many of our signs didn’t fare as well!

So, if you see signs in disrepair, or in dire need of an organ transplant, call me…John Swaney, the sign doctor. I make House Calls! Seriously, the harsh weather that we experience is hard on most things that are outside and that includes exterior signage. At Precision Signs & Imaging we can help with most sign repairs when the need arises, AND more importantly, we can help you be proactive and “winterize” your exterior signs this autumn to help prevent costly and unsightly damage.

Precision Signs & Imaging, your one stop design, fabrication and installation full service sign company…because image is everything!
