We've got Flags: Open Flags and U.S. Flags

A lot of customers have been asking for flags and finally we have them. U.S. Flags are a great way to show your spirit and "OPEN" flags are a more classy way of saying your're open. There are also some cities that ban the use of lighted or illuminated open signs so it makes economic sense for stores to use "OPEN" flags.

Specialty Store Services carries 4 sizes of U.S. flags, with the more popular 4' x 6' flag. They also have the red, white and blue "OPEN" flags as well as "WELCOME" flags.

Another eye catching decoration is the red, white and blue vertical flags. These flags come printed with your choice of message: "Grand Opening", "OPEN", and "WELCOME"

The Importance Store Window Displays

I was walking around town the other day and I noticed some store windows and it made me think about presentation. When people walk or drive by your store the first impression they get is what they see in your windows. When store windows are all covered with flyers and junk it does not make me want to go in, in fact it makes me suspicuis. On the other hand when a store window is well decorated and clean it is inviting and welcoming. Which one do you think is more effective?

Specialty Store Services has a lot of great items to help you make a graet first impression with your store windows. We carry a huge line of LED window signs, including the best selling LED Open Sign. Get you message seen with fully programmable LED motion message signs. These eye-catching signs are muli-colored and can display your promotions, sales and more.


To attract attention to your store use our energey effiecient Rope Lights. These long life rope lights have 144 lights per 13 ft section. Nothing attracts attention like flashing lights!

Changable Message Signs are An Inexpensive Ways to Advertise

I have been getting calls from all sorts of people asking if Specialty Store Services would like to advertise in their publications and ultimately the decision comes down to money. The only kind of advertising we like to do is low cost advertising. With any print advertising you would do you are guaranteed not to have a good response with one ad run. The trick is exposure. That is why I am recommending Changeable Message Signs and Write On/Wipe Off Signs. Changeable Letter Messages Signs can be reused and they can keep on promoting your message day after day. With Write On/Wipe Off Signs your message can change everyday if you want. Outdoor Sidewalk Swinger Signs are perfect in getting your ads message across to passersby. And if your customers are speeding by in their cars then Roadside Signs are what you are looking for. These classic changeable letter signs are available in electric and non-electric version. Why stop there, why not turn your front windows into giant ads with our Reusable Static Cling Vinyl Window Lettering Kit. The Day-Glow letters are sure to grab anyones attention.

In these hard economic times it is more important now than ever before to spend your advertising dollers wisely. Let Specialty Store Services help find the right Retail Store Sign for you!

Holiday Sales Promotion and Supplies Ideas

Yes the Holidays are upon us, and it looks like the sales numbers are not that bad, in fact it appears that consumer spending is increasing according to some sources. Not time to lose since there are less than 15 shopping days left. Don't send your customers home with a plain old 'Thank You" bag, send them home with holiday cheer with the "Happy Holidays" printed T-Shirt Bag. Add some cheer to your storefront or windows with some Illuminated Holiday Window Decorations. I especially like the Lighted Snow Flakes. For those last minute shoppers who can't make up their minds, preprinted and custom gift certificates are the perfect gift.

If you are looking for a great gift yourself check out www.activeandable.com for some gifts that people can actually use. One of my favorites is the Atomic Talking Watch. It speaks the time and you never have to set the time. How is that for convenience!
