Pricing

Pricing

Sign prices vary depending on the resolution (pixel pitch), options, and square footage. Your Watchfire Territory Manager can assist in size selection.

A Pricing Example: Daily Expense for Your Advertising Budget

$19.55 is the daily expense if your accountant depreciates a $50,000 Watchfire LED sign using a typical 7-year depreciation. Our signs offer powerful advertising that captures the mobile audience. Can your local radio or newspaper deliver promotional messages this effectively for just dollars a day? (This is just an example; an appropriate sign for your location might be more or less than $19.55/day.)

Watchfire Financing

Depending on the size and scale of your Watchfire sign, a monthly payment can be as little as that of a car payment. The chart below shows some recent Watchfire color LED sign sales financed with the Watchfire loan program. These particular financed projects included identification signage and installation.

Business Type	Location	Amount Financed	Monthly
Advertising Company	Pittsburgh, PA	$31,156	$682

Janitorial Supply	Albuquerque, NM	$51,435	$1,242

From Paul Murphy, Facility Directory, Buffalo Niagara Convention Center, Buffalo, N.Y.

"The addition of an outdoor marquee/ electronic sign was critical to our renovation project. We spent a significant amount of time researching and investigating the many options available, and could not be more satisfied with the decision made and the results. We have found the customer service and technical support provided by Watchfire and Cooper Signs to be outstanding and easy to work with. Even special requests on a short-term basis have been handled and resolved quickly. I would not hesitate to recommend their product or service. We receive a tremendous amount of positive feedback about the new entrance to the facility and the marquee video board is clearly the showpiece."
