WHY BUSINESSES SHOULD USE NEON SIGNS!!!!

While many forms of advertising are available today, neon signs can provide businesses with more advantages and benefits than other forms of signage. Here are some reasons that neon signs have continued for over a century to be an effective method to advertise products and services: •	Neon signs are a unique form of advertising that provides 24 hours a day and 7 days a week exposure both day and night. •	Neon signs have the ability of reaching potential customers where they work, live or pass by. •	Animated and creative designs, can be incorporated in neon signs to provide a unique method to reach and engage your target audience. •	Whilst TV, Radio, and online ads customers are always able to turn off the TV or the radio, change the channel, or skip the ad; neon signs have the advantage of constantly advertising your establishment, products or services. However, with a large number of outdoor signs people see and read every single day, only well-designed neon signs can be easily remembered.

How is a Neon Sign made? http://www.signshoponline.co.za/images/products/Neon_Signs.jpg|Neon Sign

A neon sign is made of glass tubes that have been filled with ‘argon gas’ and bent into the shape of letters or decorative designs. When a high-voltage electrical current is passed through the gas, the tubes emit light. Although neon gas was originally used in these signs, several other gases are also used today. These gases, along with different tints and phosphorus coatings for the glass tubes, produce a spectrum of over 50 brilliant colours. Neon signs can be as simple as a small advertising sign for a beer brand tucked away in a shelf in a pub or as complex as a multi-story facade at a casino
