If you’ve been driving anywhere in Northern Michigan (and beyond), then you’ve noticed that electronic message center signs (EMCs) are popping up everywhere.

Exterior EMCs offer an economical and profitable advertising tool for delivering messages to your customers 24/7. They’re becoming a leading fixture in the sign industry, and more manufacturers and resellers are jumping on board to enter the market.

Pro Image Design is an exclusive Watchfire LED sign dealer, as we’re committed to bringing you the best service and products available. You might ask why Watchfire? There are many reasons why we don’t use just any EMC sign on the market. Watchfire, based in Danville Illinois, has been around since 1932 and has designed, engineered, and manufactured EMCs since 1998. We know that they’re going to stand behind the message center signs that we install:

  • Reliability: Watchfire signs are designed with effective cooling to extend the life of components and increase energy efficiency.
  • Built to Last (even through our Northern Michigan winters): Every LED module is entirely encapsulated in a bed of silicone gel for a weather resistant seal. This ensures the highest predicted durability for your sign.
  • UL Energy Efficiency Verified: High efficiency components allow for energy usage that is about 1/3 the maximum amperage requirement.
  • Vibrant Imaging: color and brightness calibration ensures the best representation of your brand.
  • Backed by Service: a five-year materials and workmanship warranty, along with a 5-year parts guarantee (including parts in stock for a minimum of 10 years after the last of that model ships).
  • Turnkey: with easy-to-use software including a large library of artwork to help you design your messages.

We receive inquiries for EMCs on a weekly basis. If you’re asking how to get the “best deal” on an LED sign, you might do better to ask how to make the smartest LED sign investment. A well-known, experienced manufacturer may not always offer the lowest prices on the market, but they can offer energy efficiency, reliability, service, and ease-of-use. And those are the features that will make your LED sign purchase pay in the long run. For more information on EMCs and Watchfire signs, contact us for a buyer’s guide.
