BuildASign Review!

BuildASign is an entirely new kind of sign company, started in 2005 by four founders who have made it their mission to provide a quick and easy way to create high quality, custom signage. Headquartered in Austin, Texas, BuildASign products range from vinyl banners, magnets, bumper stickers, license plates, stakes, frames and accessories, to signs for yards, real estate, vinyl letters and decals. 
...................................................................................................................... Our easy-to-use yet comprehensive online interface gives customers complete control of the design and ordering process from start to finish, including sign wording, colors, design elements, typefaces, and graphics. Customers can use our exclusive design templates and graphic elements to build a sign from scratch or they can upload their own existing graphics, photographs, and designs. Unlike most sign companies, BuildASign.com™ doesn’t charge a set up fee for artwork. Best of all, customers can choose from a wide range of sizes and top quality sign materials. All our signs are offered at affordable prices, whether the order is for a single sign – or dozens or hundreds of signs. BuildASign.com™
......................................................................................................................
An array of different sign types can be made from several high quality materials including alumicore, aluminum, art board, corrugated plastic, nylon flag, plywood, reflective aluminum, sandwich board and vinyl. I was offered the awesome opportunity to to review a product of my choice from Build A Sign, just in time for Trayton's first birthday! I chose a 3' x 6' vinyl banner and let me tell you, it was SO easy to create! I simply chose my style, color and size, added my photos and used a few of the graphics they provided; they even added the grommets for hanging. The banner was produced and shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition. The colors are vibrant, the vinyl is a great weight and their personnel are very knowledgeable and courteous! Although I did not pay for my product, I find the prices to be very reasonable, even for larger, heavier materials (Ryan and I had been looking at signs for his cattle business and BuildASigns' prices were just as competitive if not better that those in our area.) While I was designing Trayton's banner I was a bit skeptical about how the pictures would turn out, however, I am VERY impressed with the quality. As you can see from the image below, the banner is crisp and clear; I am very excited to put this up at the party!   



I appreciate the fact that you can save created designs under your account for future use; something that will definitely prove useful when I create and order products to advertise my floral business at bridal shows. The next time you are in need of signage for an event or business, consider BuildASign linked under Mama Recommends!

The product for this post was sent to me free of charge by the company for the purpose of this review and advertisement. Receipt of this product did not influence a positive review. The opinion expressed here is 100% my own and I always give my readers full disclosure
