Introducing our veteran Sign Painter, Larry Becker

July 15, 2020

Larry Becker is our veteran sign painter here at Electra Sign. He has been working in the sign industry since he was a teenager and is arguably the best sign painter in our region. His skill, experience, and attention to detail bring top quality results to all of our products. 

Aside from the skills he brings to the table here at Electra Sign, Larry is one of the nicest guys you would ever meet. He always takes a genuine interest in any conversation you have with him and his positive outlook on life can be infectious. He loves travelling with his wife, Loretta. In the summer months, he spends much of his time driving around Winnipeg in his midnight blue convertible, trying out the local restaurants.

We are very lucky to have Larry on staff here not only for his skills, but also for his positive personality, and the energy he brings into the workplace.

Important message from Electra Sign Ltd.

March 16, 2020

To our Valued Clients:

As the situation with COVID-19 continues to evolve day-to-day in Canada, the primary focus of Electra Sign remains on protecting the health and safety of our co-workers, and customers we serve.

Our manufacturing facility is large enough that our workers have an ample buffer zone between each individual and proper hygiene to help reduce the risk of infection or spreading infection to others has been put into place. Outdoor crews have been equipped with hand sanitizer in the event hand washing is not available. Rest assured our clients projects are still being produced and serviced in a safe manner.

Our administrative and sales team have been instructed against any non-essential in-person meeting especially at our Electra Sign offices. A phone call or email can be just as effective. The rule of thumb is to stay 6' (2 metres) away from others as much as possible.

We'll continue to closely monitor this evolving situation and are basing our actions and decisions on recommendations from the Public Health Agency of Canada and relevant local authorities. While sanitization has always been a part of our operational procedures, we are taking additional preventative measures to keep our co-workers and clients safe.

Thanks
Jesse Brolly
President/Director of Sales

First Time Sign Buyers Guide: PRICE vs QUALITY TIPS

February 11, 2020

"The price/quality relationship comprises consumers' perceptions of value. High prices are often taken as a sign of quality, especially when the product or service lacks search qualities that can be inspected prior to purchase.“ Wikipedia 

 

With that statement, it should be noted that not all custom signs are built the same, and not all are built to last. Many sign companies will quietly skimp on materials to save money on their end, resulting in signage that warps in extreme temperatures or fades after repeated direct sunlight exposure. This isn’t even the lowest some “manufacturers” will stoop to; some are merely shell fronts and only deal in imported, shoddily made parts and even completely built signage from overseas that don’t meet CSA standards. But they won’t tell you this, using deceptive language like “Designed in Canada” to deflect the truth of their actions. If you’re paying Canadian prices, you should ensure you’re receiving wholly Canadian made signage 

When dealing with quotes from multiple sign companies, ask their representatives to detail what materials will be used, where from, and what measures will be taken to remedy these issues if applicable. But also ask your fellow business owners (if possible) what sign companies have given them the best results most recently. If you're still unsure, Google Reviews can often be a helpful source of info as to which sign companies are most reputable, and whose signs will stand the test of time. 

It is important if you are investing in new custom signs for your new business to do your research, so you are getting the best value for your money and time.
