How Can LED Signs Improve Your Church Message?

Outdoor LED signs are an affordable, state-of-the-art way to communicate church programs and ministry news to the local community. Churches are not just places where people go to attend service- they’re also gathering places where people go to find inspiration. As such, outdoor LED church signs can serve as helpful tools for the entire community and make your church a landmark.  Place Outdoor Electronic displays on; facility monuments, roadside pylons, parking lots, and walkways between buildings to:

• Advertise parish activity schedules of the day/week/month
• Highlight important ideas from church bulletins
• Promote religious spirit and special events
• Welcome new parish members
• Display community involvement and events
• Post Service Times
• Fund Raise
• Display a Verse of the Day or Inspirational Messages
• Display Time & Temperature
• Present Public Service Announcements, Amber Alerts, Etc.

Of course, your LED sign can’t display all these amazing messages for you unless you know how to operate it. Odds are you’re not wanting to spend hours learning to operate a new software program. So look for a LED sign that has easy to use software, or one that can upload messages you create in programs you are already familiar with such as Microsoft PowerPoint or stills and animation images you download online.

Some people are afraid LED signs being turned on for long periods will cause their electric bill to shoot up. Nothing can be further from the truth. Advances in outdoor LED technology provide you with a virtually maintenance-free product. Solid-state LED diodes last for over 100,000 hours of continuous operation, consume less than 1/40 the power and outlast comparable-sized incandescent message centers.

Simply put, LED Signs make it easy to get your Church message out where they will be seen.

Why do I need an Outdoor LED Sign

You say "I already have a sign". An Outdoor LED sign or electronic message center offers a unique way to capture the attention of passers-by. A LED sign allows you to communicate more effectively with the typical person passing by at a particular time day by changing the message and graphic of your sign to match the profile on the street. Outdoor electronic LED moving message centers have proven to increase business 15%-150% (Small Business Administration) at 10% the cost of TV, Radio and Newspaper advertising.

You say "my customers already know where I am". Consider the public - your existing and potential customers - is on the move, both literally and figuratively, and sometimes catching their attention is like hitting a moving target. Approximately 85% of customers live within an 5 mile radius of most businesses and 18.6% of Americans move every year. Potentially that is a loss of 18.5% of your current customer base. Add to that the fact that 15-35% of the traffic on a given street is "just passing through" (vacation travelers and such), and you can see the great potential for stops by those unfamiliar with the area.

We no longer live in a 9-to-5 society, and people will drive past your business location 24 hours a day. With a lighted LED Electronic Message Center sign, you have an opportunity to communicate with your existing and potential customer, even when your business is closed and you are at home enjoying your family.
