Helping Others Find Their Way

  Think about all the signs it takes to get a new condominium or housing community construction project to completion. From the “Coming Soon” signs to “Five Units Left” to the actual signs that serve as entrance landmarks, there’s a lot of things that have to happen for you to find your way to your new home. Ten years ago, when Chuck Halberg, Owner at Stuart and Shelby Development, Inc., a construction and renovation business, needed just these items, he found a business he has come to count on: SIGNARAMA USA, BOCA/DELRAY.

“Supporting community businesses is important to me, and SIGNARAMA goes above and beyond for my business needs,” Halberg says. “They have made every sign, banner, business card and much more. When I need something, I just call them.”

Because sign projects take creativity and a bit of perfectionism to get just right, Mike Sneiderman, who is the co-owner of SIGNARAMAUSA, BOCA/DELRAY along with his son Dave, says being responsive and building a business relationship with his clients are just some of the reasons why customers like Halberg become repeat customers.

“Service is important to me, and SIGNARAMA has always performed at the highest level,” Halberg says. “Lots of times, I tell them what I want and they execute it to perfection.”

SIGNARAMA: Your Success Is Theirs

Another business aspect that Halberg says he has been impressed with is the variety of products offered at SIGNARAMA. From a project (literally) as small as creating a new business card to one as large as a backlit sign for the entrance to Halberg’s “The Colony at Delray Beach” development, SIGNARAMA serves as a one-stop opportunity for Halberg to have his business needs met.

“Our knowledge of available products and what will work on a particular project makes us a great partner with businesses,” Mike Sneiderman says. “It’s not uncommon to have a business owner come in, uncertain of signs he needs in terms of sizing, design and materials. We are a source of advice and guidance on these aspects because we have worked in the sign industry for many years and know what works.”

As Halberg’s company continues to embark on new building project, he says he’ll always rely on SIGNARAMA USA, BOCA/DELRAY to get the job done.

“I don’t call anybody else—when I have a project, Mike and Dave at SIGNARAMA are the guys to go to,” Halberg says.

Helping a New Generation Of Students Find Their Way

In August, City College opened the doors to their fifth campus in Hollywood, Fla. For the college, setting up a new branch wasn’t easy—in addition to recruiting students and establishing programs, the school had to retain the logo and brand consistency they had honed for decades. When it came to creating the Signs that would help new students identify their new collegiate home, City College turned to the company that worked hard to earn their business and that local professionals recommended: Davie SIGNARAMA.

“The branding part for City College is important, and our Sign was our way to show that we’re here in the community,” said Lora James, Executive Director at City College, whose branches include Fort Lauderdale, Gainesville, Hollywood, Miami and Altamonte Springs. “The Sign helps students easily recognize our facility, find us without frustration and identify with our existing campuses.”

Custom Signs and Much More

When it came to conceptualizing the kind of Signs that would get City College noticed, Gina Leggiere, the owner of Davie SIGNARAMA, said creating the Signs was a tall order—literally. One of the Signs on the south side of the City College building was to be placed four stories high, meaning considerations for recognizable color and size had to be made. From there, other supporting Signage projects were completed, including Door Graphics for the college’s offices.

“Davie SIGNARAMA’s experience with school-based projects equipped us with the expertise to produce Custom Signs for City College,” Leggiere said. “This project created a Signature Sign for City College, one that everyone in the area can come to recognize the college by.”

Hands-On Education

City College supported a local business in Davie SIGNARAMA, and the college aims to support community members at large. The Hollywood campus offers four degrees in the Business, Allied Health (Medical Assisting and Medical Billing and Coding) and Emergency Medical Services.

“Our philosophy is to help students and give them an education that will help them achieve their personal and professional goals,” James said. “We chose these degrees for the Hollywood area because they are where our students can be fully trained, so they can get jobs after they’ve completed their education.”

Just as City College plans on adding new students to its programs, it will also add additional Signage on the building and Entrance Monument, all thanks to Davie SIGNARAMA. They’re a way to welcome students to a new future.

“Davie SIGNARAMA was instrumental in making these Sign Projects happen,” James said. “We’re dedicated to supporting community businesses and community members so everyone can grow.”

Surefire Sign of Freshness #Davie #Miramar #Signage

Jack's Sub Shack: it's fresh, it's new, and thanks to Davie SIGNARAMA, it's irresistible.

Many entrepreneurs jumpstart new restaurants, and few find the success that Jack’s Sub Shack has enjoyed. Opened in the summer of 2011, Jack’s Sub Shack is jam packed from open to close every day. But Jack’s instant popularity didn’t come accidentally. It came courtesy of careful planning, a desire to give customers what they want, and having all the right signs.

“When I decided to open a restaurant, I wanted it to be a place where I could tend to the customer,” says Samuel Simpkin, owner/operator of Jack’s Sub Shack. “I’m old-fashioned and believe the customer is always right—even if he’s wrong.”

Building the Shack 

With this mindset, Samuel began brainstorming his ideal restaurant. Ultimately, he came up with Jack’s Sub Shack, a sub shop that makes the freshest, meatiest subs in the galaxy. But Samuel’s meaty subs aren’t the only thing that sets his business apart. He came into the sub shop determined to do something different, and it started with signage that made his brand bigger than life.

“Image is everything, and when people think something is big, they assume it’s great,” Samuel admits. “I wanted people to walk in and assume the Shack is a franchise.”

To impress this upon customers, Samuel needed the right company to create his signage. Hence why he called on Gina Leggiere, owner of Davie SIGNARAMA. Having worked with Gina to create signs for two All-State franchises he owned previously, Samuel knew what to expect from Davie SIGNARAMA.

“The signs I had in mind were going to be challenging because of the colors in my logo and the uniqueness of each sign, but with Gina’s knowledge and expertise, I knew she’d deliver,” Samuel says. “And she did.”

Special Delivery

A quick visit to Jack’s Sub Shack makes it clear what Gina delivered: high-quality, gorgeous signage that fits Jack’s perfectly. From the giant LED channel letter sign on the exterior to the custom menu board to the fun, funky logo sign designed on 1.5”-thick carved foam made to look like vertical wooden planks, the signage at Jack’s Sub Shack don’t just tell you where you are. These signs draw customers in, and they do it with style.

Once through the doors, customers are consistently wowed with Jack’s fantastic subs, $2.99 kids meal, and their customer-first mindset. Would Jack’s Sub Shack have been such an instant hit without help from Davie SIGNARAMA? Samuel wasn’t willing to find out.

Want to make sure your business’s image is in good hands? Look no further than Davie SIGNARAMA for high-quality signs that will be an obvious sign of quality for your business.

Not Just a Truck Stop #Davie #Florida #Amplify

Florida 595 Truck Stop is a destination location that has all the signs of a great business. 

When you think of truck stops, you probably don’t think of aesthetically pleasing buildings, hair and spa services, home-cooked meals, two truck washes, a laundromat, showers, a truck service and certified weigh center, Vegas-style arcade, or a beer and wine lounge. Unless you’ve visited Florida 595 Truck Stop.

Conveniently situated between the Florida Turnpike and I-95, Florida 595 Truck Stop is a home away from home for truckers. Sitting on 40 acres of property, the newest and largest truck stop in South Florida is 110 miles from the next nearest truck stop.

“A lot of truckers told us time and again that they wished there was a truck stop here,” says John Tanella, general manager of Florida 595 Truck Stop. “They’d drop off their cargo at Port Everglades and have to drive 100 miles to get to a truck stop. This was built in response to their need for a close truck stop where they can enjoy their downtime before hitting the road again.”

Visual Aids

As some may feel overwhelmed at the prospect of a three-building truck stop with more than 40,000 square feet, John knew he’d need quality signage to point folks in the right direction. After bringing in a handful of vendors, he met Gina Leggiere, owner of Davie SIGNARAMA.

“The guys from Florida 595 Truck Stop have such passion for what they’re doing,” Gina says. “When Davie SIGNARAMA was awarded the job, we began to design and create quality signs that would lend a hand to the truck stop’s long-term success.”

The end result was hundreds of easy-to-read, attractive directional signs. In addition to signs pointing from one point at Florida 595 Truck Stop to the other, Davie SIGNARAMA created a gorgeous wall wrap. And just in case customers forget where they are, a huge 20-foot 3-dimensional truck hanging overhead serves as a reminder that this is a high-tech truck stop with everything needed to relax and get ready for another long haul on the road.

“Gina and everyone at Davie SIGNARAMA was incredibly professional and accommodating,” John says. “As soon as you drive onto the property, it’s obvious where to go for the services you need, and it’s because of Gina’s expertise and attention to detail. We took our sign needs to a professional, and she responded in kind.”
