SERVICE & SUPPORT FOR WATCHFIRE DEALERS

Sales Materials

Watchfire provides a wide range of free printed and digital sales materials so our dealer partners have the tools they need. Talk to your Watchfire territory manager to request the latest materials.


Sign Specification Guides

To maintain the best quality display of video, text, photos and animated graphics, color LED sign dimensions should follow our recommended aspect ratio. Please refer to the Watchfire Aspect Ratio Guide (PDF) to help make the best selection. Your Watchfire Territory Manager can also provide you with our comprehensive Sign Size Guide.


Traffic and Media Analyses

A Watchfire traffic and media analyses provides a valuable way for you to illustrate the impact of an LED sign. Both reports are factual and easy-to-interpret, and bring some real numbers into a process that can feel like a gamble to some customers. We encourage our partner dealers to contact your Watchfire representative to request a site analysis.


Tech Support & Troubleshooting

The Watchfire tech support department is here for your tech workers six days a week. Call or e-mail with general questions or during a repair while on-site. Dealer level access to the Watchfire KnowledgeBase, which contains in-depth service information, is also available.


Parts

Orders received and processed by 2:00 pm CST typically ship the same day. Every effort is made to get sign parts to dealers the next business day. Instead of shipping the damaged board to us and waiting for your replacement part to arrive, Watchfire will ship replacement parts directly to you immediately after you call. Once you receive the part, simply remove the old part and replace it with the new one. As a result, the sign will only be down for a few minutes.

Watchfire promises to support every LED sign model for ten years after the last sign was shipped. When our competitors' signs become obsolete, they sometimes stop offering support, or they charge you more. This won't happen with Watchfire. This is just another reason we are a leading LED sign manufacturer.


Free Artist's Renderings

Sometimes it's difficult to envision an actual Watchfire sign standing on a site. Let our talented artists render a visual representation (stills or video displays) of how it would look once a Watchfire LED sign is installed on your customer's site. Please contact your Watchfire representative for details.


Quick Quotes

Your Watchfire sales representative knows how crucial it is for you to receive a quote without delay. Every dealer request for a price quote is answered as quickly as possible, and in most cases that means mere minutes. For fast service, please contact your Watchfire representative directly.
